Ultimate DC: Aquaman 7/19

Very creative skins, with backgrounds included and all. And besides of being truly inventive, you got some nice costumes right there. Superman and Batman are extremely good.

darkknight92 · February 20, 2009, 06:11:54 PM

It's really hard to pick a favorite because ALL of them are excellent!

The presentation is terrific. I especially like the backstory that you've created for each of them.

murs47 · February 21, 2009, 05:53:15 PM

Sorry for the delays guys. I've actually got the rest of the Justice League complete with the exception of Wonder Woman. She's about 75% complete though.

I'm getting closer to graduating so classes have been much more demanding then in the past. Not sure when I'll get to the rest of my Ultimate DCU skins. Summer most likely.

Anyways, thanks for the comments. Hopefully some previews in the next two weeks and the release of what's made shortly after.

Justice League: The Flash

skope by podmark

The Flash: The general perception of the next stage of evolution in humans, commonly labeled as "Meta-Human (or Metas)", has always been surrounded by trepidation. However, with the Meta-Human population growing, so does the fear. Governments around the world began to legislate and pass new laws to control a potential threat Metas represent. Many countries simply mandate registration, while others institute networks of labor camps for its Meta-Human populace.

Councilman Wally West of Keystone City's Public Safety Department had always kept his inherent abilities a secret. He was fearful of how his goals of becoming a high ranking public servant could be curtailed if his secret were ever exposed publicly. With the reality of a potential future where his children could be hunted for being different, Wally decided to take a more hands-on approach to public safety in the hopes of putting a more positive spin on Metas.

With his initial plan in place, Wally gained strong support from the locals by stopping robberies, muggings, drug trafficking, and inner-city gang fights, yet was mostly ignored nationwide and internationally. The world was going to hell no matter what he did or tried. Still, for the sake of his children, Wally pressed on. He finally gained the trust of America and other parts of the world when he evacuated occupants of the 2nd tower to safety preceding its destruction on 9/11.

Diablo · February 22, 2009, 12:47:07 AM

that flash is incredible! i like it!

and all the backgrounds are fantastic!

Podmark · February 22, 2009, 05:28:59 AM

I like him alot. The design is cool, the only thing I could thing of is maybe adding a second darker red in some of the costume divisions - that might break it up a little better.

And I just realized I owe you a skope don't I?

Really? I've got it written down that I'm supposed to change a beard.

laughing paradox · February 22, 2009, 05:46:49 PM

Great design for the Flash, Murs. I even like the yellow fingers.. solid, clean skin.

What other characters do you have in store for your Justice League?

Jakew · February 22, 2009, 11:45:28 PM

Murs, I am liking these redesigns a lot ... and redesigns of classic characters don't usually appeal to me.

Plus, the detail on your skins is looking sharper than ever.

It's fine. I'll just go the same route as Merlyn and skin it on.

Green Arrow:

QuoteAn excerpt from En Vogue columnist Darya Folsom's interview of Oliver Queen

So you were just named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person, how does it feel?

They just figured it out? I've known my whole life. I'm surprised I haven't won it the past couple years. How did it feel to come in 2nd place to me Ms. Folsom?

I'm supposed to be interviewing you. Mr. Queen, why--

Please, it's Ollie, no need for formalities.

Ok, Ollie, why the bow and arrow?

Are you kidding me? You're telling me you didn't watch Robin Hood as a kid. It was the most amazing thing I saw as a child. My parents even hired the stuntman for practice lessons. Merlyn the Magician he was called. He said I was a natural. I wonder what ever happened to him.

How is a guy with just a bow useful when you've got a man of steel?

Sweetheart, you've seen the clips of that whole Brainiac fiasco. If it wasnt for me and this beauty of a bow the people of Earth would be singing a different tune. A bad tune at that.

So, any chances of you giving us a demonstration?

I actually left my bow at the hotel room. But, I'm sure I could make room in my schedule for you to come by later tonight. You think you could handle my bow?

I'm pretty sure I could Mr. Queen. Well thank you so much for your time Ollie, are there any last things you'd like to say?

Ya, bring your make-up artist with you. I think she's interested in archery as well.

Wonder Woman and Martain Manhunter's bios soon.

AfghanAnt · July 14, 2009, 01:22:01 AM

Wow buddy! MM and Wondie are the standouts for me. I especially love her face and hair. She really is amazing. And MM's face and redesign are great.

Previsionary · July 14, 2009, 01:25:07 AM

I'll save Benton a post and say, "Needs more Aquamus Dorkamus."

Podmark · July 14, 2009, 05:17:10 AM

Woo very nice. The world needs more skins by Murs.

Green Arrow is probably my Fav. WW is probably my least fav but the face is so very unique.

Outcast · July 14, 2009, 02:42:48 PM

I kinda like the unique face you gave Wonder Woman. It looks good on her.

Props to the costume redesigns, my favorite among the bunch would be Green Arrow's and Wonder Woman's.

docdelorean88 · July 16, 2009, 01:05:31 AM

No AquaDork, no Batman(in the group pic)? No Green Lantern? Thats okay! i love all of these.

Jakew · July 16, 2009, 01:12:49 AM

I don't really like the face on Green Arrow ... I don't think that particular mask shape and facial hair 'mesh' well. If you lost one or the other, it'd look cool though.

Ultimate Aquaman - During the Cold War, SIS initiated a defense program to protect the U.K. in the event of a Russian invasion. One of the top priorities was a defense system in the surrounding waters of England. The threat of Russian sub-marines needed to be addressed. With British Naval subs being no match for the Russian's deep sea vehicle, SIS contracts London based S.T.A.R. Labs to engineer an aquatic defense weapon.

One of STAR Lab's proposals was a biological weapon that could go undetected by Russian subs. After numerous tests and final approval from the SIS oversight committee, Project: Aquaman had commenced.

Sgt. Arthur Curry of the Special Air Service(SAS) was hand selected for the project. His love for his country made it a non-decision to participate in the project. Undergoing the project, Curry's body was genetically modified with a shark's DNA.

Gaining the strength and swim speed of a shark, Curry had become the world's top aquatic weapon. Achieving speeds of 74 kilometers an hour, he was twice as fast as any submarine. His small size made him invisible to radar, and disregarded as a dolphin by sonar. His ability to survive underwater had the SIS tasking him with Black Ops missions world wide. Aerial to ocean insertions 100 miles away from mission objectives gave him the element of surprise. Curry carries a 100% mission success rate to this day and is the U.K.'s top operative.

I like the choice of mesh and overall design. I imagine like a shark if you touched rubbed him in the wrong direction his skin would cut you.

The area between the waist and pelvis is a little darker than it should be.

Podmark · July 19, 2009, 08:04:33 PM

Nice, very cool Aquaman.

UnkoMan · July 19, 2009, 09:29:00 PM

Really dig the backstory on this one. Does he have a shark's fin, as well?

docdelorean88 · July 19, 2009, 11:38:24 PM

This is one of the coolest Aquaman designs i have ever seen!
