When you hear the name "Ultraman" you think in the Crime Syndicate Super-Villain? Well, this name always make me remember a 40 meters giant from a distant galaxy who fought... rubber clad monsters?!
I always play the Bobby 69/Lightning Man Ultraman in the Danger Room, but I wanted more of the Ultra brothers (they were very popular here in Brazil when I was a kid), so I'm working in a skin for the "New Ultraman"/ "Ultraman Jack" from the 1970's series.
He's still a WIP, but I learned so much with the feedback I received in my "Superboy, Aquaboy and The Executioner" thread I could'nt resist post him.
I know he's not shiny at all, but I loved the shiny look Lightning Man gave to the original (it's better looking for a cosmic hero than a rubber suit anyway, so I used it too).

I would tone done the refl a little but honestly when I hear Ultraman this is who I see. :)
Yeah, it's too shiny, but I'll only fix it after I finish the skin and all those detail in the red parts are killing me :banghead:
Great to know you're a fellow Ultra fan, AA.
I think in the crime syndicate. hahaha lol
ei, John Jr... voc? ? do Brasil? Eu tbm cara hahahah
Parab?ns pelo seu mod Batman/Superman ficou bem bacana! :thumbup:
Oh yeah. Im liking the whole idea.
Its a shame we didnt get more live-action japanese sentai heroes before now. Id love to see more Ultras, although I dont know how we're gonna get more monsters than we have now.
I always especially like the Kamen Rider meshes that came out years ago when Unfluffy Bunny was still up. Those were amazing, the movements were spot on, but there wasnt much excitement about them.

Yeah, my Ultraman is always fighting Godzilla, I would love more Japanese monsters.
I think Valandar has done most of those giant monsters. He has also done the Transformers.
Not to rain on anybody's parade, but there was an Ultraman at FXForce. New, improved version are always welcome, though.
If they weren't, I wouldn't have all these Wolverine meshes...
I think there are Male Basic Ultraman keyframes out there, too.
Oh yeah, Glob, but this is Ultraman Jack; The Ultraman who Returned. He was next in line after UltraSeven (Whom Ill hope well see sometime soon).
Im pretty sure that theres an Ultraman Powered floating around too, based off of the Australian show.

Scorpion is right. Lightning Man made a great skin for the original Ultraman, I'm trying to skin the "New Ultraman", AKA as Ultraman Jack (I'm using the same mesh as LM, Bobby 69's Ultraman). You can see both and some of their brothers here:
(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc250/godzillarunt/ultra005_s_www_barks_jp.jpg)
Original is the third from the left, "Jack" is the last, on the right corner.
Update.
Followed AA's and Daglob's suggestions about the reflex and details in the red parts of the costume.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/Ultraman2.jpg)
I like the design you put into it.. the shapes of the red, as well as the face, look really good.
However, I don't love the reflection yet. The reflection you have now makes the red on the chest seem distorted.
Try a different lightmap. Experiment with a few different ones and see how it comes out.. you may notice drastic differences.
What LP says.
I used a different lightmap (one that looks vaugely like Kirby cosmic rays) on my Machine Man skin, and it made all the difference.
Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll try it.
Yeah, some sort of different reflection thing. You'd want to be able to see the detail on the suit, seeing as how putting all those lines on it must have been a pain.
QuoteI think Valandar has done most of those giant monsters.
They're here: http://newpowerinc.com/ and they're AWESOME. Just go to Meshworks and click on Valandar<Gargantuans
I was playing with the refl and some lightmaps Daglob sent me (thanks again!).
This is my favorite result:

What you think, guys?
I haven't seen an epiode of Ultraman since the '80s (I think it was on Night Flight on the USA network), so I can't remember if the red areas are raised or not. Translation: should the edges be highlighted and shadowed?

I believe the red areas are only painted on the rubber suit.
Im diggin that reflection you got there. Nice.
My suggestion, if you want to give a painted on look but make the edges not as jaggy you can add an outer glow to the red layer. When I want to do two colors on a outfit (but not have seams) I use the outer or inner glows to give it a less harsh line.
Daglob, you just really impressed me. I was beginning to think I was the only one in the world who watched Night Flights in the 80's, but I don't remember seeing Ultraman on it. I do remember going to see it at the movies when I was a child in the 70's.

Could have been on WTBS (not even a Superstation, in those days), or we were getting New Orleans stations on cable back then.
That reflection does look great, buy the way.
This is way off topic, but does anyone remember an old movie that was made up of different serials like Dick Tracy, Captain Marvel and so forth. It had the heroes fighting for the forces of Muzak and they had Ming the Merciless fighting for the Rock and Roll. Most of the characters were redubbed to say rather silly things. I have thought so many times that it would be great get a CD of it. Of course, now that I live a life of sobriety, I might not like as much as I think I would.
The reflection is perfect, but I agree with Area and Daglob, the red could use some extra oomph.
It's a balance between being accurate to the source material and making a skin look good in the game.
You have some good suggestions from Area (the outer glow trick) and Daglob (light and dark seams on the red) that could make your skin pop.
With that said, Ultraman looks really good already.
great skin :thumbup:
Thanks, guys!
Area, LP,
How I make that "outer glow" trick? I just draw the red areas I want in the glow file?
In Photoshop you can add effects to a layer. I don't know if you do things in layers but if the red is a separate layer you can go into the blending options and you can select(among other things) outer glow. It will only effect that layer you've selected. That's why I mentioned keeping the red as a separate layer. What I tend to do with outfits that I don't want the seam on or to soften the seam is to make the outer glow be the seams color. Depending on the color the glow will be almost completely invisible but when you view him as a 3d model you'll definitely see a difference.
The Power Packers I'm working on have no seam whats over, just an outer glow. For an example.
I always wanted skin this guy: James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes.
I love the Grenadier/C6 version, but I really wanted to play the older Bucky in "Last Days of the War" scenarios.
Mesh is VXMaleV2, by Vertex. I just hide parts I didn't need and unhidden the parts I needed.
I used C6's Male_Costume and Male_New Face base skins. Extras were edited over the mesh's base skin
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bucky.jpg)
That's extremely good. I think I hate you ;).
Very clean. I like it.
Spoiler
(Don't tell daglob, but I don't hate you yet).
I like it. He's got a very mature look - a nice bridge to his modern appearances.
Awesome work JJ! I think that the blue could use a bit more "oomph..." but how should you do that? I haven't the slightest. :P
Well done JJ. The face is very good.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: Changed the keyframes, so I had to change the face to adapt it a little, fixed the eye color and added a little detail to the shirt.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bucky2.jpg)
I'm liking this Bucky. The hair looks pretty good.
Just add a dark seams at the bottom of his briefs, maybe a touch of shadow, to give it that raised look.
Also, the gloves look like a solid red.. maybe add a few different shades of red on the glove to make it stand out.
You have the face down good there. Nice work.
I actually kinda like the super-saturated colors on him. Makes you notice him more.
Thanks for the tips, LP. I'll try it.
Scorpion, C6's base fit as a glove, I just edited the mouth, eyes and ears.
BTW, I'm trying to paste a gun in Bucky's hand, but I can't fix it in the right position. Would a real skoper be kind enough to help me? Thanks!
EDIT: Tried to follow LP's suggestions, but don't know if I did it right.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/buckyb.jpg)
Looks really good. I'm especially digging the mask. Nice shift of colors.
the cloth is looking good but it needs highlights, the shadows work but it does seem flat
Thanks guys.
UE, unfortunately I still can't do decent highlights. I'm still trying anyway.
It's not done yet, I know I still have a lot to do, but I wanted to post some screenshots of the skin.
The mesh is a hex of Grenadier's Batman.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bats1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bats2.jpg)
Looks pretty good so far JJ. The wrist bands look especially good.
Good job, JJr!
I agree with Murs about the wrist bands, they came out very well. So with the bat logo on his chest, do you want the logo to stick out of the costume, or to recede in the costume? If it's to stick out, then the light seams should be on top, not the bottom.
Thanks, guys.
LP, I'll fix the bat symbol, thanks for the tip.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bats3.jpg)
What you think, guys? I had to edit some images form an actual "Batman" cover to get the belt right.
Before I read your comment, my eyes went straight to the belt. Looks great.
Could you post a closer picture of the belt? It looks a little fuzzy on my screen.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bats4.jpg)
I'm not very satisfied with the belt, but it's the best I can do for now.
Hmm....I actually like the belt. It has a unique look to it. I definitely like the color you went with for it, and the texture of it is rather neat. The bat symbol itself isn't quite right...but I can't put my finger on what it needs. Great work man, you continue to improve!
Thanks, Benton. I edited a belt capsule of an original Batman cover to do mine, so the colors are from a DC colorist. I just copied, edited and so on. I'm trying to get a 3d effect for the bat symbol, but still didn't got it right.
I think Tommyboy did a Batman Begins mesh that has a belt that might work better. I can't remember the name of the mesh off hand.
I updated my Superboy skin, re-made all the blue parts, changed s-shield and belt and added highlights using what I learned from Mur's great tutorial. OK, it's almost a brand new skin. I tried a more "comic book" feel this time. I'm kinda of happy with it now...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superboyh4.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superboyh5.jpg)
Honestly, I prefer your other Superboy skin.
I'm not sure which SB I prefer (I don't remember seeing a old one) but I do like the belt work on Batman and cloth work on Bucky.
Hmmm...i think i also like the other Superboy skin shown in this link.
http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=52553.30
The highlights are not that strong but i don't know it looks better somehow for me. It's a classic comic look i guess. But kudos for being able to make some good highlights using Murs' technique to give it a more modern comic book feel . :)
I count at least 16 distinct light sources, each within very close (6" or so) proximity of Kal, needed to make those highlights.
Also, the blues look like separate hues, not different shades of the same colour. In the highlighted areas, there is approx. 4x more blue than red and 1.5x more blue green. In the dark areas, the amount of blue is 16x more than the amount of red and 2x amount of green. The dark areas are actually a richer shade of blue, and the highlights are more of a cyan. But even if the light sources were orange tinted, then the rest of him would show it too.
I did a Hulk skin for Yellow Lantern. I decided it was too close to olive drab, so I did a brighter one (through the magic of Photoshop). YL liked the original, olive drab one (look at his section here: http://ffcenter.net/champions/).
I like 'em both. If you didn't paint over the original (NEVER a good idea), offer BOTH in a 2-pack.
First, I like that Bat-Belt. It's unique and I really dig it.
Now about Superboy.. I totally see what you're doing here with the comic book effect, as opposed to your other Superman skin. Since this is Superboy, I know you're not going for super-detailed musculature, but I think this skin (since it's more comic book inspired) would benefit from a six pack from the base. That's not to say to change the whole base to a new one.. you can combine bases to make something you may like, if you wanted to. Maybe add the six pack from one base skin and add it to another, to see how it looks. (Adjusting it as you go, of course).
On a side note, it looks like you're really improving with seams. It took me forever to get a decent grasp on it.

That's my original idea. The first version (show in the link Outcast posted) would be more realistic, near to the tv show costume (so, few highlights and less muscles showing). The second is all "comic book" look, so more highlights and so.
I usually make "less highlighted" versions, for the reasons Kenn pointed, but since I'm a newbie I want to play with new techniques I'm learning (new toys!) and I loved Mur's tut about highlights.
Thanks for the suggestions and the kind words guys. Do you believe it's worth to release the skins (the 2 Superboys, Bats and Bucky)?
Yes.
The're all available in FRP2.
I wish to thank Prev and the FRP guys for hosting it and Chukles for the great preview images.
Thanks a lot guys!
You can get the skins, skopes and hexes here:
http://frp.unlimited2.net/three-new-skopes/
I hope you like them.
As a Legion fan I'm very happy the team is experimenting a "renaissance". I'm specially found of the retro tales shown in "Superman Secret Origins" and "Adventure Comics", so I wanted to play some EZScript stories with the classic team in the Rumble Room.
Tommyboy, Laughing Paradox and JK Carrier already made stunning versions of the twenty something Imra Ardeen, but I wanted a new skope and skin for the teenaged version.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/imra2-1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/imra-1.jpg)
The mesh is a hexed version of Ink's Marvel Girl. The skin was made over a C6 Female Basic base skin.
As always, feedback is most welcomed.
As a Legion fan (especially the stuff from the 60s) I'm always happy to see more Legion stuff.
I like what you got going here.. crisp lines, nice shade of red... it's good.
I would recommend making the skirt part look more like a skirt. Add some shadow on her legs to add some depth, too.
Keep doing more Legionnaires, too!
Thanks, guys.
Good idea about the skirt, LP. I'll try it.
I want to make skins for most of the first members (the three founders, Superboy, Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl).
What I'm trying to do:

The Triplicate Girl skope and skin came out nice.. I like her smile and boots.

ADVENTURE COMICS #12 (Comic - On Sale June 02, 2010)
Written by PAUL LEVITZ ? Art by KEVIN SHARPE ? Cover by SCOTT CLARK & DAVID BEATY ? 1:25 "DC 75th Anniversary" Variant cover by LEE BERMEJO
Legion great Paul Levitz begins his ADVENTURE COMICS run by revisiting the Legion's past in this special story featuring one of Superboy's earliest adventures in the far...
I definitely like what you have so far...a suggestion would be to maybe skope on trip's belt. But otherwise, some good looking stuff here.
LP and CB,
Thanks for the kind words.
I'll probably try Lightning Lad next.
The (very) earlier years:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/LL1.jpg)
A more mature version:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/LL2.jpg)
I made a skope for "kid" Garth, the "teen" version is the old Male Cape mesh.
Stop it JJ....just stop it. You're making me look bad! Ha! I can only mod, and here you are modding AND skinning. These look great, my friend. Your color work is really improving. Saturn Girl and Superman are especially impressive. I think your lightning bolts on Garth's chest could be a bit sharper, but I imagine that is MUCH easier to say than to do. All in all, these guys are really impressive, buddy!
Thanks, Benton.
I'll try to make better looking lightnings for Mr. Ranzz. Thaks for the tip.
Don't say you can "only" mod, you're one of our best modders, period! I'm just an amateur modder and skinner.
I'm glad you liked Superboy and Saturn Girl, I'm kinda of happy with them (and I'm rarely happy with my skins and skopes).
I like the "very" early years mesh and skin a lot.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked Lightning Lad, Xenolith. I played a lot with his face to get the right look.
Cosmic Boy should be the next.
Nice JJ. You plan on doing his new look as well?

It's great to know Garth's face worked for you. I'm still working in Rokk's skope for the "early years". Teen version will use Tommyboy's great mesh.
I really like what you did with his face! I agree about the lightning bolts, too.. and you don't have to make each one.. just make one and copy the layer, then flip it to the other side.
Really, that face is really friggin' nice.
And yeah, I love the current look of the Legion.. they even got Tyroc back on the team and he looks cool!

Check out various fonts. You could find some lightning bolts that way.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/lu2.jpg)
Definitely, she looks much cleaner. Good job.
I like, but I think she would look better on a teen body.
I envy that you have been able to skin so well in such a short time. I can't quite get the hang of it.
Thanks guys, you're very kind.
Xenolith,Triplicate Girl's body is Ink's Female Teen Versatile. I just edited the hair and skoped the cape and belt.
Now, back to Cosmic Boy...
I think her boobs are too big.
I think I was being too indirect before. :)
I can't wait to see Cosmic Boy. Are you reading the new Legion titles?
I had a similar problem when I made a skope for Lana Lang, it's hard to find err... "less developed" female meshes, or in the wise words of some colleagues:

Well, maybe not. These are comic book characters. You dont see many women in comics who arent almost comically well endowed.
If you're gonna take the trouble to draw 'em, you might as well make it worth it.
Yeah, I'm reading Legion and Adventure Comics and liking them. I'm a big Paul Levitz fan.
I'm still having some troubles with my skope for the kid sized Cosmic Boy, but the skin for the older version it's almost done:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/cos1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/cos2.jpg)
Mesh is cosmic_boy1_tv bt Tommyboy.
Nice one JJ :thumbup:
You have gotten really good, really fast. Again, I'm really impressed with your facial work.
Wow, I get a real 70's vibe from his hair and face.
Very nice, JJ. I would darken the pink into more of a purple...but that's mostly because I hate Cosmic Boy's pink costume! :P Other than that, he looks great, and I love the 70's hair.
Very nice, JJ.
I'd suggest adding to the belt.. make it lighter on top, add a gradient. Right now it looks too simple with the rest of your great skin.
And weren't his shorts black?
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, I'm trying to get a 70's look with this guy. I'm glad it worked. The hair is from Tommyboy's versatile mesh and it's called "70's hair" or something like that, so the merit is all Tommy's, I just choose it.
LP,
Rokk's costume changed a bit in the first LSH appearances, but in the late 60's/early 70's it had white boots and trunks (earlier the bots were pink with white trims and the shorts black). The belt and the hair aren't finished yet and I agree with you about the belt details.
Benton,
I'm not a fan of the pink costume either, so I used the the darker pink I got from a Cosmic Boy cover appearance. The things we have to do to be faithful to the source material...
I edited the skin to better fit the cosmic_boy1_tv available in Tom's site. It has a slightly different mapping than the other version (available on the LSH Mod), so I had to made some changes to my skin. I added more details to the hair and belt too.

What you think guys?
You could always do a "flashback" with them dressed the way they were in Adventure 247...
Really nice John. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks, guys.
I'm still not finished with the Legion, there are some classic and current versions I want to do. I hated "Legion of 3 Worlds" execution, but I liked the concept a lot, so I made some skins of characters from that mini. One or two are reasonable enough to be shown, so I'll make more updates later this week.
Sodam Yogurt, I mean Yat, Last of the Guardians and Gladiator look alike.

I like Sodam Yat but I really hated that look. On a tangent, is he still considered "dead" or did they reveal he's still alive yet?
I'm not sure about the Legion version, but they brought him back a few issues ago in GLC.
Good.
He's alive and well in Legion #1, so Yat survived to the 31th century in the LSH timeline.
Yeah, this look is terrible, but since it is Yat's "official look" as a Guardian I wanted to try my hand at it.
Needs some white gloves.
Great team shot.. LLL!
I am liking Sodam Yat. You should skope a Legion ring on his finger!
Good skin, good use of shadows around his shirt, but what was DC smoking when they designed the costume? Again John, good skin, but I hope someone at DC puts him or his costume to rest.
My first FF character skin/skope.
Teen Urchin is still a WIP.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/teenurchin.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/teenurchin2.jpg)
I like it. It's a nice design.
Looks good JJ, perhaps a little more highlights and shadows to the chest area.
Thanks, guys, I'm glad you liked it.
Pod,
I'm trying to follow the Irrational design to the never released FF 3, I really liked their design.
Murs,
Thanks for the tip. I still getting used to the use of Patterns, it's hard to get the right look (and I want to thank Daglob again for teaching me how to use it!).
I made two different versions, on with more highlights than the other.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/teenurchin3.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/teenurchin3A.jpg)
Which one is better, guys?
Nice work so far, my friend! I love those FFIII designs, so it is always great to see them made. Let's see....well, I think she could benefit from longer hair...maybe the female longhair version, like the DCUG's Mera? Also, she needs that compact, but I don't know what you'd use for it. Perhaps a smaller scale pattern on the chest?:
http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/15161/freedom-force/images/freedom-force-20090626030225837.html
Of course, all of these thoughts are given without any real concept of how hard their implementation might be, so feel free to completely disregard them. ;)
I'd say the bottom one, JJ. This is coming along nicely.
Thanks, guys.
Benton, I couldn't find a wig with the right length, some were too long, others too short. This one was the better of the lot, but I always can try others. I have no idea about what to use for the compact, maybe a resized round belt buckle?
I made a new Bucky Barnes skope, this time a gun toting version. Skin is only an edited version of my earlier Bucky skin, so it's still a WIP.
The skope was made with parts of different Tommyboy's meshes, including his new Captain America.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/imrinha1.jpg)
Looking good. I'd suggest adding a blue hue to the white.
Ya, looks pretty good. I echo Pod's suggestion. You could also try a vanilla cream hue but I think a blue hue would be more appropriate for this skin.
Yeah, sure...totally....some blue....<------------------------Has absolutely no idea what he's talking about)
Looks nice, JJ. I love the details on the Legion's belts. Very nice.
Y'know, I think Vertex's female meshes have a pair of boots hidden. Have you looked at them? Maybe snitch some glove cuffs from one of INK's X-Meshes...
Really well done John, and I agree that maybe a blueish hue might be appropriate here. I think it would soften the white a bit, offset the grey and brighten it up a bit.
Thanks for the tips and the kind words, guys. I'll try add the blue to the white, as you suggested.
Daglob,
Good idea about the cuffs. I'll check it.
YAH! I loved this version of the Legion. :)

YAH! I loved this version of the Legion. :)
The original Legion is my all time favorite team, but I have a big weak spot for the reboot kids, AA. They were fun. I'll try to make at least the reboot versions of the three founding members.
We can't have an Adventure Comics Legion without this girl, I mean Supergirl...
New skope and skin for the Silver Age Supergirl. Skin is still a WIP.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/kara-1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/kara2-1.jpg)
Looks good, JJ. Great work on the belt, S symbol, and hair.
Looks nice. I like the hair, looks unique.
Thanks guys. I thought I had finished my Adventure Comics era Legion, but I wanted to try my hand at the Silver Age Supergirl.
About the blue hue to Saturn Girl, what you suggest guys, a new layer with a blue hue added with the "hue/saturation" option? Or soft light? I tried some of this options, but the result was not very good, so I very open to suggestions.
Load that picture of Saturn Girl into Photoshop (into the skin, if you can) and use it as a palette.
To get blue hues, try this.
Use a desaturated female_basic skin as the first layer. On a new layer on top of it, fill it with a very light blue.. much like the blue on this site. On this blue layer, go through the blending options, using Vivid Color or Hard Light or any of them, until it shows up the way you like. Try different shades of blue, but make them light so the white will go through as well.
Supergirl looks good! I like Saturn Girl, also.
Thanks for the tips, guys.
I'm glad you liked the girls, LP. I'll probably get reboot Cosmic Boy and Livewire now.
Hey man, that is a great Supergirl! I may have to replace the one I'm using in the DCUG...
Small Supergirl update:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/kara3.jpg)
I edited her face to make her less generic looking.
And since I already skinned Superboy and Supergirl and I really like Afghan Ant's new Superman, I had to make a skin for his take on the good, old Man of Steel...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superman.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superman2.jpg)
Kal and Kara are both WIPS, so feedback is very welcomed.
Looking pretty good.
Wow! Great work on these guys JJ! Supergirl does look less generic there. She looks pretty distinctive, nice facework. Same goes for Superman. I'm constantly amazed at how good you've gotten in so little time.
She looks younger. That's a good thing.
They look great, JJ.
The only minor quip I have is that Supergirl's teeth look a little large.. maybe just shorten them a little?
Thanks guys. I'm trying my best to give an unique face to each character and I really liked Kara's. But I'll follow LP's advice and reduce her smile. I'm still playing with Superman's face, I'll probably edit the eyes a bit.
maybe lighten the shadow around the eyes...other than that, what can you really improve?!?
I'm really impressed with the unique faces your doing. They look really good. Superman's looks great. Supergirl's eyes might be a bit too big though. But I'll echo what Benton said. I think you've really improved a lot. The colors and symbols looks nice too. Keep up the great work. :)
Thanks to our talented friend, ow_tiobe_sb, Teen Urchin got her shell compact and a new, better looking hair.
I'm still trying to do justice tiobe's work with my limited skinning skill and that is what I got after 5 or 6 different textures for Urchin's hair.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/teenurchin4.jpg)
Dang. She grown up hot. Does sea water boil at hotter temperatures than fresh water?
Excellent job JJ. I agree with Kenn, she grew up to be a hottie. If I was a fictional 3-D character I'd say "So, wassup?"
Really happy to see the new hair. The old one didn't match the picture very well. The skin is quite nice.
Oh neato. She has her clam compact. :)
Thanks, guys.
Tiobe made an awesome job with the hair and the shell compact and I'm very grateful for his help.
Wow! Tiobe's contributions make a huge difference. That hair is perfect, and the compact is great as well. Your skin is great. I love the skin tone. I would say you might want to brighten the hair a bit, but you're pretty close to perfect there. Great work JJ!

I updated Reboot Saturn Girl (thanks again for the blue hue tip, guys).

And I'm finishing Livewire now:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5c/Live_Wire_1.jpg/150px-Live_Wire_1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/livewire2.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/livewire1.jpg)
Updating the update.
Added pouches to the kid's belts:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/livewire3.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/imrinha3.jpg)
Updated Superman, I'm still playing with different S-shields.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superman4.jpg)
And I made a new Superboy skope and skin. Thanks to Afghan Ant for letting me use his (amazing) new Superman skope as a base for my Superboy.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superboynew1.jpg)
And that's all for now, folks.
Ah the pouches are a great addition. Really liking the Legion skins, but that Superman skin is really nice. I especially like his face.
JJ, you're improving at a rapid rate. LW's face looks very distinct and your Superboy skin continues to improve.
Thanks, guys.
I'm only improving my limited skills thanks to you all. I learned a lot from your tips and tutorials.
I'm very glad you liked the new faces. I tried to give Superboy and Superman slightly different faces, so they would look like the same guy in different ages.
Livewire's face is a slightly edited version from my " kid" Lightning Lad's face.
i've played the first 2 levels of your mod, and i have to say your faces are stellar with the talking heads. it makes me want to make a clark kent head. all i really need to know is how many channels are needed and what each channel is for. ultimately, i will open up one of the head files with nifskope to see if i can figure it out.
Thanks, Bearded.
Great news about the Clark head, I'll be sure to use it.
When I skin an "emotion-like" face (smiling, angry, etc) I skin a different, "neutral" face to use with the talking heads.
I hope you like my mod.
Great work! I'm also a huge fan of the Legion and would love to see more of the reboot versions. I thought it was a great unifying look for the team. Liked your Teen Urchin a lot also; can't help but notice how well she fits in with the few 70's versions of Freedom Force which were released. You did a great job!
Thanks! I'm very glad you liked them!
I'll start to work in a new mod in the next days, so my skope and skins output will be a lot slower for the next weeks, but I still have some classic and reboot Legionnaires and at least one more 70's Freedom Forcer in my "to-do" list.
The Legionnaires look great, JJ. The pouches really complete the look. Superman/Superboy look particularly good.
Were you thinking of skinning Dragonmage? I always thought his powers were really cool.
Thank, LP!
I hadn't thought about Dragonmage, but it's a good idea.
After a lot of pc problems, I had to re-install :ffvstr: (and I'm not done yet), so my new mod is moving very slowly...
But I already have some WIPs:
James "Bucky" Barnes:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/bucky-2.jpg)
Sergeant Fury:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/fury.jpg)
Resistance Fighter:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/gretchen.jpg)
Many thanks to Courtnall 6 for letting me use his original textures for the weapons.
Very impressive John. Great skins.
Oh JJ, you are a joy to watch progress. Great skins. ^_^
Thanks guys.
I'll probably do Dum Dum Dugan next, we can't have the Howling Commandos without him, right?
I like em..from the hair and their unique faces, to the color and cloth work details on each of their costumes. For WIPs they're very very good. I can't wait to see how they would look like when you're finished with them. :)
Nice work! :thumbup: I'll make a suggestion on Bucky...well 2 actually. First change the gun to the Thompson on Renegades Ult.CapWWII mesh and secondly...while not imperitive but I did it for a Bucky skope a while back and I think it looks cool....add the mask from Vertex's Green Arrow. ;)
These are great. I really like the Bucky.
Thanks, guys. I'll make only minor changes to the skins (I still want to make Bucky's classic "star" belt buckle, add some detail to the clothwork, so on...), but I'm still not 100% satisfied with the skopes.
Thanks for the tips, Casanova, I'll see if I still have Ren's Ultimate Cap (I lost a lot of meshes/skins when my pc crashed).
EDIT: I already changed Bucky's gun to the Thompson. Thanks again for the tip, Cas.
I used a skoped mask (by Tommyboy) in an earlier version of Bucky, but I needed a skinned version for the talking head (since I made that skopes for a mod), so I gave it up.
Looking great John Jr. I've been quietly enjoying your FF work plus my son and I had a great time playing both your mods :thumbup:
I'm really loving the new stuff John especially the cloth work on Bucky and Fury.
I've always wanted a version of that Bucky with guns and knives, great looking Johnjr.!

Same here, USAgent. I really like Ed Brubaker's "Soldier Bucky", this one should be my 3rd attempt to make a good skope of him. I hope I got it right this time.

I don't know anything about the talking heads, but could pieces (a mask) be skoped on? I know Tommyboy had quite a few heads floating around. Would that help?
it is very hard for me to make talking heads for :ffvstr: , but i'm still trying.
there is a krypto mesh. cape and all. i think beyonder made it.
I always use Tommyboy's talking heads in my mods, Bill, but I never found one with a "bucky-like" mask. I never was able to skope the heads too, the game crashed every time I tried it.
Bearded,
Do you have any idea where I can find this Krypto mesh? A certain 8 year old girl would be very happy if she could see it.
These are great JJ! Bucky is especially nice. I like your color work with him, but Sgt. Fury is quite good as well. I like your work on his uniform, but his sleeves seem a bit on the short side.
Thanks, buddy.
I'm glad you liked them. Fury's sleeves are supposed to be "rolled up", he used them this way in all the reference material I found.

For some reason, NifSkope garbles the last couple bytes of the file when you skope a head.nif. You can fix it with a hex editing program. Check out Dr. Mike's posts in this thread for the details:
http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=51915.0
Great tip, JK. Thanks
Which hex editing program I can use to fix the heads?
Any hex editor should work. I use XVI32: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
JJ, your skinning work always makes serious improvements from the previous set, which is very impressive. I love the way Nick Fury came out.. Bucky looks great, too.
This is one of my pet projects. I use EZScript a lot, I'm always playing new stories, so I need more civilians (the heroes got tired to save/talk/interact with the same tow people over and over...), so I'm making some.
When I finish it it will be a teenage girl skope with 3 different skins, a generic civilian girl and two classic girlfriends of two classic heroes. I'm finishing the first one, miss Gwendolyne Stacy:
(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:zys0IsYOP_wD-M:http://image.comicvine.com:8000/item/2000/1480/135118-gwen-stacy_400.jpg&t=1)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/gwen.jpg)
Very nice. Could use a headband perhaps?
Where did that hair come from?
The hair is a skoped version of Gren's Diamond Lil, Pod. The texture is still a wip.
The headband is a good idea, any suggestion where I can get one?
For my Cipher skope on HeroForce I used the head band from Tommyboy's Asgardian mesh. Whatever you use you'll probably need to manipulate it a bit to get to look right.
Very cool, JJ. Definitely use a hairband. That hair would be perfect for a new Magik skope, too..
I think I remember a headband on one of ink's meshes. Maybe a Rachel summers?
You could also just use a belt piece and rotate it in nifskope.
I'm already looking for the headband, guys. Thanks for the tip (headband? Maybe I should make a Linda Danvers skin too).
Gren made a great looking hair for Diamond Lil, I just had to shorten it a little and I agree with LP, it would look good for Magik.
I'm finishing the other skins:
Lana Lang wip:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/4844913461_8e6a8f8538.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/lana-3.jpg)
very cool dude! :thumbup:
John your style is really developing here. I like the cloth work and stitching details you added to them. Those are so important when you are skinning less complicated designs.
Also do Linda Danvers. She is still my fav Supergirl. Too bad she's been sent to hell :(.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.
AA, I'll do my best to do Linda justice, I liked that visual a lot.
I understand your feelings about Linda, a lot of my favorite characters were killed/retconned in the 80's and 90's. I'm relieved some of them got back and I wouldn't be surprised if they bring Linda back one day. Nothing is "forever" in funny books.
Another vote for Linda from me, (the last Trade is a wonderful read). Once you add a headband for Gwen that'll easily transfer to the Linda Supergirl.
You really captured the look of the Superboy series Lana with your detail on the eyes.
Well done!
JJ...wow! You're advancing at an amazing rate. The cloth work is phenomenal! :thumbup:
JJr, you really are impressing me at how much progress your are making with your skins. Lana looks really cool.
Absolutely stellar.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.
OK, Gwendy just got her headband.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/gwen2.jpg)
Thanks to the magic of Alpha channels Lana doesn't have one (I added more detail to her shirt and hair):
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/lana2.jpg)
And I'm finishing generic civil girl:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/civil.jpg)
Why she looks sad, you ask? Well, she is a civilian in a super-hero game, so she knows she'll be frozen, caged, menaced, etc. And when all is done Lana gets back to home in Superboy's arms, Gwen in Spidey's webs, but poor civil girl have to get a cab.
Life is unfair...
Hi John jr,
Very nice! I do not think I have seen other skins for these characters.
These are a must have for the Spiderman and Superboy fan!!

Thanks a lot, Dynamo! This is my second Lana skope, but I don't think I saw other skins for the girls and this is the main reason I skinned them.
I'll probably release them when I finish the Supergirl skin.
Still a WIP (she needs more details in the costume and a custom face), but what you think guys?

I have a little problem, through. The feet are supposed to be black in the outer side and purple in the inner, but I have no idea about how to do it.
Any suggestions?
Cos looks cool! Maybe one of Tomato's meshes would help you with the feet issue? I believe it has mapping for both sides, individually.

Man, JJ, your skins just keep getting better and better. I don't know quite what it is...maybe the shading? Anyway, that last Cosmic Boy skin is really fantastic. Great work man!
Reboot Cosmic Boy looks great. I liked the iconic look of the reboot theme which I think in some ways inspired Hitch's ultimate designs for Marvel.
Just out of interest are you looking at going with a Legion of Three Worlds theme?
Thanks a lot guys.
I followed LP's suggestion (thanks, buddy!) and Tomato's teen mesh is perfect for kid Cos (and it solved the feet problem). I'm just making minor changes to the skins to adapt them to the new mesh.

I want to play with a similar concept, martialstorm . I really wanted to skin the original and reboot versions of the three founders and I have an idea for a new Legion mod that involves the two teams, so I'll probably do more skopes/skins for them. No plans for threeboot Legion for now.
These Cosmic boys look great. Nice job.
New Legion mod? Right on!
Now with Tomato's Male Teen mesh as base and a new face.

BTW, Cos, Linda and the girls are released:

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/comp-man.jpg)
Spoiler
The Composite Man was one of the most powerful villains of the reboot Legion. He was the reboot version of the classic Composite Superman, but, boy he was even uglier than his older counterpart. You can see him in all his weird glory in LSH #69, 1995
Looks like a very unique character John, well done skin, but :wacko:.
Wow! I completely missed this guy. Great work John :)
At least he's wearing clothes in the XXX Century :P
Great job though

Nice work, John.
Haha, nice work on an exceptionally silly looking character, JJ. :lol:
Thanks, guys.
Composite was very silly looking because he kept changing his appearance, mixing costume parts and skin tones of the Legionnaires. But he was a very powerful guy with a good motivation (he was some kind of Durlan living weapon and he was imprisoned by Durlan priests, including Chameleon's father), so he's goofy looking, but useful in a story.

I'll skope flight rings in all my Legionnaires skopes, Brainy and The Composite already got theirs.
B5 is once of my favorite Legionnaires. Your work makes me want to get FF2 just to have an excuse for downloading them.

While I strongly encourage you to get :ffvstr: most of my skopes are compatible with :ff:
EDIT: Brainy is :ff: compatible, just like Cosmic Boy. I don't remember about Livewire and Saturn Girl, I'll check them later.
Great brainiac skin!
I think he's one of the only legionairres that hasn't had a new skin in a while.
Hey, that's really nice JJ! I like the color contrast between his face and hair. You've hit the tones right.

I could just download them and check them myself. I was planning to get the 2 pack from Steam anyway.
Those Legion skins are looking very good, JJ....Great work!
Dana
Brainiac 5 looks very good! Very clean. I would recommend making the boots look brighter, though.
Nice work John, you've really capture Brainy's personality. Well done!
Thanks, guys. I'm really glad you liked Brainy.
I changed Brainy's boots, like LP asked.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/brainy2.jpg)
And I'm finishing Invisible Kid.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/ikid.jpg)
Nice.. now make the white on Invisible Kid's "I" brighter! ;)
I really like the Legion emblem on the belt.. that came out well. Have you considered using a gradient along the belt so it's lighter in the middle and black at the ends, or vice versa? Then you could put the light highlight on the top of the belt. And a dark one on the bottom of it.. it gives it a more 3D look.
With that said, it looks great now. Just a suggestion.
They both look really good, my only suggestion for Brainy would be to brighten the eyebrows. Otherwise, well done. As for the Invisible Kid, I agree with LP, the I would benefit from being lighter.
Great Invisible Kid John, the reboot Legion is coming along beautifully.
My reboot faves that I would love to see one day include M'Onel (With the stars and detailed costume although some of the extras might be a bit tricky), and Thunder the future female Captain Marvel.
Thanks for the kind words and for the tips, guys.
LP and CB, I'll change Lyle's "I", thanks for the suggestion.
LP, great idea about the belts, I'll try it.
martialstorm,
Greycount made a great Thunder skin, you can find her here:
http://www.alexff.com/stuffGC.php
I have plans for a Thunder skope, but I still haven't started her yet. I'll probably will have updated images from Invisible Kid and a new skope for XS by the weekend.
Nice work JJ. I really like your Legion characters!

Much better. Xs looks good to. Digging the face work.
Another Supergirl skin? What I can say, the girl changes costumes a lot...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/kara-2.jpg)
Mesh is AA's Kara Zor-El Supergirl. The skin is still a wip.
As always feedback is very welcomed.
You have to remember. Women's fashions change more often than do men's.
It's been really cool seeing all these Legion skins you've done. The logo on XS looks like it came out quite good.
That's a very nice Supergirl too.
Supergirl looks great; I think it's your best skin to date. Very nice work.
XS looks really cool, too. Who else are you considering making from this Legion group? Kinetix, Catspaw, Computo, Dragonmage.. there were a lot of cool, original members on this roster.

For now I'm just skoping/skinning the Legionnaires I need for my new LSH mod (some of the 80's classic team and some of the post Zero Hour Reboot version). I have plans for Thunder and Kinetix, but I don't know if they'll be on the mod.

The build and costume are a perfect fit for the character John. Very nice :thumbup:
Nice work JJ! That's a really nice skin. The only thing I could say would be that maybe the boots and gloves could stand to be a bit brighter.
Thanks guys.
I kinda liked the darker yellow, Benton, but I can give it a try.
Use your graphics program to lighten the color on a copy of the skin. That way, you can keep it the way you want it.
Nomad (skope and skin) is now available at FRP2:

I think he would also make a great base for the Paul Kirk Manhunter.
i seemd to have missed quite a few good things during fr's absance. some very good releases that you have there.
I finally managed to re-install :ffvstr: two days ago and I'm already trying to get back to content creation. It's only a WIP from a very rusty creator but...
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/SupermanAction.jpg)
Glad to hear that you've managed to reinstall :ffvstr: again JJ.
New skin looks pretty good so far. I'm impressed with how you did the shoes. :)
Which version of Superboy is he? :huh:
Thanks!
I used an edited photo texture for the shoes.
He's supposed to be the "DCNU" Young Superman, the face is a placeholder, from my Superboy skin, final version will have a slightly older look (older than my Superboy, younger than my Superman).

So that's how you did the shoes. :cool:
DCNU...hmmm...i did a quick google search and it led me to this image (http://caws.ws/forum/topic/416512-dcnu-superman-svr11/). Superman in a wrestling game?! :o :blink:
I'm going to guess Semi-Casual Superboy :P
Great work, though, JJ :D
Outcast,
The images are from a WWE game, they have a VERY powerful customizing system and you can make almost anyone in there. Superman is one of the most frequently created wrestlers.
DC made another reboot last year, and the new Superman used a jeans and t-shirt "costume" when he started his career, in his late teens, early twenties.
Spyder,
Semi-casual Superboy? Good idea :)
Anyway, this is the look I'm trying to get:
(http://g2factor.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/action4at.jpg?w=540)
I call this version the George Perez Superman, which was actually good the first few issues.
Your skin is looking very productive. I thought the sleeves were mesh pieces for a second.
Is his cape thinner than normal in the comic? If that is the case, maybe alpha the sides of the cape?
Thanks, LP!
The cape looks different in different comics, sometimes it's looks bigger, sometimes shorter and thinner...So I went for the classic look.
I already made several adjusts to the skope and played a little with the skin, I'll post an update in the next days.
Looking good JJ, glad to see you creating for FF again.
Lookin good JJ! Glad you're back in the skinning game
Thanks, guys. It's good to be back.
Updated:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/SupermanAction2.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/SupermanAction3.jpg)
-Edited the skope
-Added cloth texture and some highlights to the shirt
-Changed the face
-Edited the shoes.
Great to see your skins again John and I'm really happy you're taking on the new 52 Superman following on from your previous excellent versions.
I know you're still working on it but will you be adding wrinkes/ creases to the shirt to make it more loose in appearance?
Also like the subtle changes in the face.
Thanks, martialstorm.
Yeah, I want to add some detail to the shirt before release, but since I'm rusty I didn't got it right in the first attempts. I'll try it again ASAP.
I agree with the short creases, but it's looking great. I love how you did the hair.
Maybe a touch of shadow on his forehead, right under his head? Are you going to skope a belt piece on?
Thanks, LP.
Good idea about the shadow, I'll try it.
I started the skope with a belt, but I noticed the shirt covers the belt in most images, so I removed it.
Changed the skope (again), but I wanted something different form my previous Superboy/man models.
Followed martialstorm's suggestion and added creases to the shirt and pants.
Followed LP's and added a belt, but since Supes used two different (non) costumes in the Brainiac story arc I made two different skins, one with the belt and the white shirt "variant":
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superman-1.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/superman_white.jpg)
What you think, guys?
Lookin' good! :thumbup: I like how the belt looks on the overall skin.
Agreed, the belt brings something extra to the skin. Looks good.
Thanks, guys.
My plan is to release the skope with both skins, so the player can choose which one he want to use.
I already started to work in a Conner Kent Superboy skope and skins, so I should be able to give a preview in the next days.
Excellent John Jr the extra touches are the icing on the cake. Great job.
Btw I saw an image in the latest Action Comics that looks very similar to your 3d pic.
Thanks, martialstorm.
Now, like I promised, the Conner Kent preview:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/conner.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/conner2.jpg)
Mesh is Ink's Superboy_TT (who, surprising enough didn't had a standard skin yet). I just alpha-enabled all the accessories, so I can use multiple skins with this mesh.
Cool stuff John. I'm a big fan of that costume for Connor. Neat hair piece.
The logo turned out especially well done. Nice work JJ.
Outstanding John great mesh choice and the skin looks excellent.
logo does look like nice but wrong colors
Thanks, guys. Ink made a great mesh. I'm already planning a second skin with one of his more "super-hero" like looks.
Mystik,
This is only a WIP, I'll change the logo's colors and add some details to the skin (I'm not satisfied with the face yet).
New skin for Conner:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/connerss2.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/connerss1.jpg)
You nailed the Young Justice version, excellent!
:thumbup:
love the skin!!!! hope u do more yj members
Thanks, guys. I'm glad you liked it.
Mystik,
Yes, I have plans for other YJ characters.
I love that hair piece. You say it's an unskinned Ink mesh? I noticed there's a Terra mesh that is unskinned as well.. hmmm..
Lovin' the Superboys. I'm glad you went with white and gray instead of white and light blue for the YJ Supes.
Add a little shadow around the collar of his shirt and sleeves! It'll make it pop even a little more.
Yeah, it would be a shame to let this mesh stay unskinned, it's pretty good. Ink have some "hidden treasures" in the Hero force site, just awaiting to be skinned.
I'm glad you liked the Conners, LP. With all the "complements" alpha enabled we can make pretty much all of Conner's costumes to this mesh. I want to try something different next, but maybe I'll make other costumes in the future.
I already added the shadow and I agree with you, they give a nice detail, thanks.
My "Young" Superman and Superboy skopes are now available at FRP2:

very nice stuff john, really liking the superboy skins and skopes.
Off to download I go!
John Jr, love the young superman! got to use him in the danger room against some robots!
Thanks, guys, I'm glad you liked them.
SCD,
Yeah, nothing like a classic Superman smashes robots scenario.
Did anyone skoped or skinned this version yet? I couldn't find it anywhere, so I decided to skope one. Still a WIP, needs some cloth details, highlights...

Thanks, guys. I'm glad you liked Robin.
AA,
I'm planning to give Kid Flash a shot, since looks like no one did him yet.
Man, you've been doing some nice work here my friend! I like the work on Robin's belt.

Very nice JJ! I feel like something could be done to make his face appear younger, but it's beyond me. That's a nice skin, though, bright and clean. :)
Excellent JJ I've been looking forward to this one.
Downloaded! Thanks for the shiny new toy JJ!
Thanks, guys! I hope you like him!
Benton, I know a bigger smile would make him look younger, but I didn't like the way it looked in the mesh, so I went for a more "simple" smile. Anyway, in the game his size and physique will help to show he's still a kid.

You are very kind, my friend. Thanks.
I still remember most of the skinning tricks, but I had to re-read some tuts before getting back to skoping. It's becoming easier with each attempt, so I think I'll be able to make something useful in the next weeks.

Great work on all of them, but the best part for me is the face of General Zod, it really looks like the actor of the movie.
Very cool. I like the black variant!
Zod takes the cake. The texturing looks great too
Anyway, doesn't Henry Cavill have black hair?
These are really nice, JJ! Zod is ESPECIALLY impressive. It's great to see you back on the forums and producing awesome stuff!
love them :thumbup:
I'm glad you liked them, guys.
Benton, it's good to be back and I have more skopes and skins on the way.
trebean,
In the photos sometimes Cavill's hair looks brown, others black (because of the lighting, I suppose), but in most of the movie's merchandising (action figures, statues) they painted his hair brown, so I did the same.
They are wonderful skins John and an amazing reproduction from the movie :thumbup:
Thanks, MS!
I thought I commented on this, but I love your Man of Steel skins!
General Zod's face is perfect!
Thank you so much, LP.
Looks like Zod is the star of the bunch. I'm glad you liked it.
Michael Keaton Batman's costume from the Tim Burton movies.
Still a WIP and I need a little help. I wanted to skope (and not just skin) the two vials/cylinders on the belt, but I have no idea where I could get the mesh pieces. Any suggestions?
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/2-5.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/1-3.jpg)
I'm not totally sure the look you're going for, but for Cylinder type pieces, I would check Tommyboy's "Red_Robin_TF", that one has pieces on the Belt/Buckle you might be able to use. Or you could check Grenadier's "Checkmate_Knight" Meshes, a couple of them have a piece on the thigh where the Staff is shrunk down, so it's a smaller cylinder type piece.
As for your WIP, the eyes kind of seem a little bit mismatched, mostly noticeable on the left eye, but otherwise, very nice.

Very nice. Good job on the highlights.
Nice! This guy looks great!
I really like how the highlights came out on the skin. They are fantastic!
Great Bat-skin!
Darn it all, I really want to "like" your post post, but there's no little heart icon in the corner that I can click and then immediately forget about. So now I have to actually take the time and type out the fact that your Batman skin is absolutely amazing, and it's just so tedious. *sighs theatrically*
(Seriously though, I actually spent about half a second looking for the like button. I think I've been using waaaaaaay too much tumblr lately)
Thanks for all the kind words, guys.
Pod and LP,
The main suit highlights are from Mur's base, I'm only editing the highlights form the "leather parts". So it's Murs who deserves the praise, and he really did a killer job with his base.
Murs,
Thanks, I really tried to get a good Keaton impression here. I'm glad you liked it.

Very nice work guys, does this mean that Ms. Hatcher will soon follow?
Thanks, CB.
Hey, if DaGlob gets interested I'm game. I already skoped/skinned Lana Lang, so it would be fun skin Lois too.

I wanted a skoped belt for the New 52 version, but I can't find a "V" shaped belt. Any suggestions, guys?
Very nice Aquaman so far.
As for a "V" shaped belt, I think Gren's "Aquaman" may have one, and SickAlice's "Captain Cold" may have one.
Thanks, CB.
Where I can find Gren's Aquaman?
I can send it to you. All I need is your e-mail. :P
Failing that, my avatar has a slanted belt as well. You might need to work on it a bit, but it might work if you can't find anything else you like.
John, I've uploaded Gren's Aquaman to one of the Champions Yahoo sites here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Champions_of_Freedom/files/
Hoss,
Thanks. I'll check it out.
Tomato and spydermannn93,
Thanks for the help!
Thanks to CB, Hoss and everyone who helped me to find the belt and Kfs, Aquaman is now available.

I love the details on the face and on the scale armor, JJ!
Looks so crisp and clean. :thumbup:
Thanks, Spidey.
I tried to give a "happy adventurer" look for the Silver Age version and a more serious expression to the N52 one. I'm glad you liked it.
Man, that scale mail must have been a pain to do, but you did it well. Nice set of Skins JJ.
Ohh man, what a lovely skin of my favorite character! Great work JJ! This may be one of your best skins yet, though it's also possible I'm a bit biased. ;) I love that smiling version. That's a cheerful, happy hero, and that is pretty darn cool. :D
CB,
I edited an old Photoshop scale pattern to got the right effect. I'm glad you liked it.
Benton,
Well, I always liked Aquaman as the happy hero, husband and father, so I tried to give a happy, carefree look to the Silver Age version.

I'm planning to get the job done in the next days. I have been overworked in my RL job, so my skinning time is kinda of limited right now.

That is totally me right now. I'm just trying to sneak time here and there to get some skins/skopes done.
Movie Thor is looking great already! Nice job on it.
Thanks for the support, Spidey, AA and LP.
Thor is finally available, I'm sorry it took so long, but this was hands down the most challenging skin I ever made (the skope was easy enough). I tested a lot of different cloth, leather and metal textures before I was satisfied with him (well, I'm still not satisfied, but I know this is the best I can do for now).

Looks like Hemsworth to me. Great job and <sheepishly for not posting earlier> what cyber said.

Maybe they should create their own team? The All-Chris-Squadron?
I'm still working on my Chris Reeve Superman (it's a dream project of mine), but I'm facing some issues with the face (photoskinned faces are a mystery to me). Meanwhile, I made a quick skope of the Earth 2 Superman. I don't even read E2, but I really liked the clean, "less is more" look, and I believe no one had skinned him yet, so...
Still a WIP, needs shadows and gradients, but I wanted to post an early image.
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/1-5.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/user/clarkbr/media/1-5.jpg.html)
Very nice. I agree about the design, I'd thought of skinning it for the same reasons.

His skin tone is a little dark, but yeah this is a good design. I started a skin a while ago but abandonned it for Calvin Ellis' design (which I love). I'm not really love Earth 2 anymore, but I'm glad to see Val-Zod skinned.
Always nice to see more Earth-2 skins ... particularly the new Superman. :thumbup: The comic is kind of one huge ongoing fight scene now, though.
Thanks, guys. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who liked the clean design on E2 Supes.
AA,
I used Mur's base for the skin, any suggestion about how I could give it a lighter skin tone?

This is the second Superman from the Earth 2 series, I don't even read the comic, but I really liked the design.
(http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/40/3922043-4+earth2_25_4.jpg.jpg)
I've never seen this E2 Superman design before, but I love it. I'm a sucker for clean and simple.
Your skin looks great! I love it!
Two tiny points are, maybe the neck hole could be a bit bigger to match up to the cape, and the hairline a tiny bit less pointy?
Really amazing job though! Do all the white/silver parts have a refl? Would look awesome to see him shimmering in game.
PS: That Aquaman is killer!
Looks great. I like your use of precise technique. And there is nothing not to love about E2 Superman. I'll be downloading this one and using him in campaigns.
I know nothing about this character, but that is a nice design and a particularly nice skin. Good work man!
Long time since I last skinned a character and it shows. Still a WIP.

Looks good.
If you use alphas you can probably get more of a point on that belt.
I pretty sure there is a belt in the Tom Versatile mesh that has a point on top. I used it for my Steel Sterling hex.
Thanks guys, for the kind words and the tips.
Benton,
Kryptonite Kid was always smiling while trying to kill Superboy (you gotta respect a guy who loves his job). So I tied to get a "psycho grin" look.
Pod and DG,
How about this one? Is a different Tommyboy belt.
(http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l610/JohnJr_FF/K-Man%204_zpsgenws9ce.jpg)
I like it! The face is my favorite part of the skin and I think the new belt is looking better.
Thanks, windblown. So, new belt it is.
Really nice work, as the others have said the face is spot on. The colours are really nice too and that belt is the right choice :thumbup:

I don't have Daglob's amazing photoskin talent, so I tried to edit/paint a "Burt-like" face over the base. I'm glad you liked him.
I'm giving some finishing touches and Robin should be released in the next days.
Thanks for the release! It's a really cool skin! I love how smooth looking the texture of his costume is. I love the look on his face too.

But I'll probably work on a Julie Newmar Catwoman first.
Ooo...Nemar kitty potential...rar!
I'm sorry it's taking me so long, I'm kinda of overworked on my RL job.
Still a WIP, she needs more details (I barely started the belt, it still needs some texturing) and I want to make a second, masked, skin.
(http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l610/JohnJr_FF/Catwoman%2066_zpsadcgbfkx.jpg?t=1490380390)
The only thing I might suggest is to skin the belt. Or maybe look and see if there is a Black Widow belt that will do
I tried a skinned belt, but I think I like the skoped version better, anyway I edited the belt a lot (made it smaller, added a buckle, textures...). I should be able to release her in the next days.

Looks great. You nailed it.
Holy show renewal Batman! Spot on JJ.
Looking great!! I really like that Catwoman skin.
He looks great! I really like the little details that add a lot of character. His eyebrows are perfect and the wrinkles on his gloves are good too. Same with the folds of the cowl under his neck.
Just incase you haven't gotten enough of it yet, that Batman '66's mask is looking super spifty! I love it! :thumbup:

Oh no! The teenage evil genius, Lex Luthor, is back to terrorize Smallville! Who can stop him?
We have a lot of Luthor skins, from plain clothes to power armor, but I don't think I ever saw a "Teen Luthor" skope/skin, so I made one. Still a WIP.

I'll make sure to drop by every now and then.
Hi, guys.
I'm facing some problems in real life, so I've had little free time, but I'm working (albeit slowly) on a new skope.
It was a request from heroidosilencio: Classic tokusatsu hero Spectreman.

Lookin good JJ! There is something about the Filmation art design, that is just... It's so unique, The physique of the characters are both super, and also still resemble regular human build in a somewhat realistic manner? I'm not sure I can properly describe exactly the vibe i get from it, but either way, GREATY WORK!
I hope things in RL turn around for you soon. If there is anything you need, I'm always happy to support in whatever way I can.
Thank you so much for the support, guys. You're all great!
It's just my old health issues acting up, but, like Dean said, skinning is therapeutic.
I just finished Filmation Aquaman and started to work in an alternate skin (based in another classic cartoon, guess which one). I'll post new images soon.
Once again, thanks for all the kind words.
Filmation Aquaman is done. He doens't have scales or leg fins, but he have these cool black boots.

I almost finished Super Friends Aquaman (the hair is a placeholder). It's only an alternate skin, but he have (some) scales, leg fins and a different belt buckle.

Yeah, I'm in a retro mood.
Nice :thumbup: I like that scale look.

Thanks! I did my best to be faithful to the original design.
I love the scale detail in the Super Friends one! Filmation looks great, but I think you should give him a big smile as well. He was a very cheerful hero in that one (such a great show!). Great work, JJ!
I'm sorry to hear that your health issues are bothering you, my friend. Here's hoping that things improve!
Thanks for the kind words, buddy.
I wanted to give different faces to the Aquamen, and the Super Friends version was smiling in most of the reference pics I found, so I gave him a smile.
Cartoon Aquaman is available for download in my DC folder.
Fair enough. Cool!

As a gift for Benton, Smiling Aquaman alternate skin is available in my DC folder.

Hope you like him, buddy.
Awesome, thanks JJ! I think he looks great!
Looks great! Hopefully, everything is alright otherwise.

You're welcome, Benton. I'm glad you liked him.

Hey, AA. It's great to see you again. I'm glad you liked my Aquaman.
Things will get better eventually, thanks for the support.

Filmation Kid Flash WIP, hair and gloves are placeholders. Base mesh is "VX Male Teen", so Wally will be shorter (and look younger) than the grown up Flash meshes.
Nice! He looks good, JJ!
Looking good JJr! I don't know that I have ever seen a filmation version of kid flash before. Nice one!
Thanks, WyldFyre. I'm glad you liked it.
Kid Flash was featured on the Flash and Teen Titans segments of the Filmation Aquaman cartoon.

Thanks for the info! Something else to add to the old watchlist. :thumbup:
I have never seen this version of Kid Flash. Interesting!
Filmation Kid Flash is available on my DC folder.
Why it took me so long? Well, my health issues token a turn to worse. I'll have to face a major surgery in the next weeks/months. I'll try my best to finish my current FF projects before the surgery, because I don't know when I'll be able to get back to work after that.
I had a series of skopes and skins based on the Filmation and Superfriends cartoons, but I don't think I'll be able to get it done.
Anyway, I hope you like Kid Flash, my friends.
Thanks John! I hope your surgery goes well and you can get healthy soon! We'll wait on you!
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I'm hoping with the surgery you come out stronger. I do enjoy your work so keep it up when you can :D
Thanks for the support guys!
Best wishes as well. Having health problems always suck, but you have to take care of them before they get worse.
Hey JJ, I'm sorry to hear that, man. We'll keep you in our prayers, and we wish you the best in the surgery and recovery!
Thanks for the support, RD and Benton. You're great.
Hope everything is going good for you stay safe and take care
