ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!  The download button on your teaser doesn't work!!   

Seriously, this is awesome work.  Simply awesome.

[windblown]

Fantastic skin! Can't wait to download the Uncanny team.

[Tomato]

Er.. guys? It's up.

[BentonGrey]

Awesome skins, and yes, a very effective teaser as well, AA!

Ant, you've really outdone yourself with this latest batch.  and the inclusion of Tabby Smith and old school Sam Guthrie was really nice too.

after reading battle of the atom,   its really weird in a self-reflexive way.  the original 5 are in the present, and then the weird future x-men come.  for us they look weird. 
but then, take a look at magik's latest costume,   as evident in your hardcase skope/skin  it looks like the current x-men are actually the scary future x-men.  who would imagine the uncanny group, acting and looking like they do now, 20 years ago?
it's pretty cool stuff.

Now, time to boot up the game again.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the pak.

Here is something I've been working on. So after I redesigned [urlhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/afghanant/8059395643/]Nox[/url] and Halal I thought about how I wanted to redesign the rest of my HIVEworld originals to look like they belonged together. Here is another one...

Spoiler

Instead of just having wings on her back they are generated out of the hardlight harness. Also I wanted to giver her more of a military look.

Oh BTW I'm probably retooling Halal's design. Even though I like some elements, I need to do some tweaking.

[Cyber Burn]

Those wings are fantastic. 

[Podmark]

Pretty cool design. The things in the back look interesting.

[spydermann93]

The HIVE is making a comeback?

SWEET!

[AfghanAnt]

So I wasn't really happy with this redesign the first time so I  redid it.

The Evolution:

Spoiler

The Final Design:

Spoiler

She has a couple more gadgets now. It's weird but if you asked me to define these characters I would say they are based on Marvel characters I love but their powersets are closer to Final Fantasy. Halal was always the Red Mage class in my mind.

[spydermann93]

As I've said before, I just love seeing how your skins develop over time, AA.

Just when I think that you've created a character ever so perfectly, you just one-up it.

Outstanding work

[Podmark]

The newest one is a nice update on the previous. Though to be honest I think I liked the costume design of the original best.
I really wish I had your design sense. You make really cool looking characters.

It's odd. I actually like it too but I didn't see how it fit into the insect motif (neither does my avatar but I'm working on that). I ended up added more elements from the first design to the final design. 

I thought that DM had written something about how I kept the sexy without the obvious, oh boy was he right. I have no idea why I added space nipples to her second design.

[detourne_me]

hehehe yeah i deleted it cause i was a bit inebriated when i wrote it.  didnt want to come off sounding creepy.  good choice though

[laughing paradox]

Great works you've been doing, AA.

The X-men look cool. I like the redesigns on your HIVE characters.. the light wings look cool.

[windblown]

Fantastic redesigns! I really like Pupae's new coat and wings, and Halal's new uniform.

[Gremlin]

These are spectacular. I love how much of your work incorporates asymmetry.

[Cyber Burn]

Really digging the Classic X-Men.

[Figure Fan]

All of your new skins are awesome, AA. I've gotten back into playing Freedom Force lately, so I was happy to see that you're still releasing new content.

[Podmark]

Ooooo stealth release, and such a very awesome one. Was looking forward to this set!

[Outcast]

I recently checked AA's website. I'm still looking forward to trying out his HIVE Mod.

[AfghanAnt]

Sorry guys. I knew I forgot to do something. I am glad you guys like them though. 

I recently checked AA's website. I'm still looking forward to trying out his HIVE Mod.

It's a shame but I"m probably never going to get around to the HIVE mod. However, I am dutifully working on Unkoman's and my Weird World idea.

[Outcast]

My bad, i thought it was the Hive Mod i saw in your site that was coming soon.

It was actually the Weird World Mod. That of which, i find equally interesting. Can't wait to try that one out.

[windblown]

Wow. Those are awesome! You even did Cyclops slimmer, didn't you?  Fantastic work.

[AfghanAnt]

So no one requested this but I wanted to get back into the swing of things and update a really old (circa 2004) skin of X-Man in his classic costume.

BTW I'm fixing Classic Cyclops' visor - its not the right shape. I'm going to try to get this up tonight. BYE!

[Cyber Burn]

Really nice update AA. With the pieces added through skoping, it adds a lot of additional depth to the character.

Thanks. I had to skope a heck out of this guy. He's still using Ink's/Beyonder's jacket but I alpha'ed out the sleeves adding a few other pieces from Ink's meshes and done.

[Jimaras8]

As a fan of Nate i can only say Wow. You are on the top of your game AA.
