Excellent work! :thumbup: I'm wondering though...if her body is right...body mass I mean. I know that she's supposed to be big (although I most artists these days don't seem to approach her that way) and tall...but is it too big. Also I think you should make the "bottoms" of her "bikini" uniform smaller and define her breasts (clevage) and muscualture a bit more. Just my two cents. ;)
I can't help it that I look so good baby! I'm just a love machine!

From as far back as I can remember and based on Mike McKone's art, Starfire is a very big woman. She has been consistently shown to be half a foot taller than Dick and by Phil Jimenez taller than Superman (who is 6'2).

An example of her massive stature:
Spoiler
I am still unclear why they made her so tiny in the Teen Titans cartoon. I guess little girls can't look up to giant alien women just tiny childish ones.

I do agree with you on the bottoms though. I actually need to redo they because they aren't the right shape as McKone's drawings.

Yeah, when I was sorting them Ink's work and I saw all the Teen Titans I did I honestly thought "how dreadful" so that's why I wanted to show how much I've drown over the 5 years.

Sorry, I'm doing a McKone inspired Cyborg. Though my Raven will be a little animated, a little Perez, with McKone costume.

Starfire is supposed to be a big gal! I love the new skin.. it looks great. It makes me anxious for the other Titans...

I do have a question.. does your Starfire have flaming hair when she flies? Would that be near-impossible to skope correctly?

I'm trying to figure out before I release her.

How about using Ink's Phoenix as a base?  when she flies the Phoenix appears.   just hide the phoenix and add fx to the hair.

PS.  I love the new Starfire skin.

Uhmmm good idea. What fx would you use? Nick Fury Jetpak fxs or maybe something that would cast a global light since she's  :ffvstr: only?

Why not use the same mesh/FX you used to make Binary?

I'm not too familiar with the FFVTTR FX, but i think Nick Fury's jetpack FX would be good, because it is a jet-stream that points in a direction. Good thinking!

deano_ue

try using the fx i used on firestar, i skoped over the fx from vxhuman torch

i love the work on the body but i feel the face is too stern, yes i know he is meant to be a battle hardened warrior but she is also meant to be amazingly beautiful

murs47

That's a whole lotta woman!

Very nice skin AA, I'd say add a little more detail/contrast to her chest region.
This TT skin set is so exciting!

miguelyanke


AA why don't you add 3D jimmies insstead of these red spots?

Tomato

I cannot put into words how much I love that Starfire skin. I can't wait to see the rest of your Teen Titans man, your style compliments the characters perfectly.

ghazkul

That's amazing work there AA!!!!
I was only thinking today "I wish somonne would do an updated version of Starfire now she's being put in the JLA" and there you go!

Tommyboy's firestar_new has an fx trail when it flies.

Because I could skin them faster than I could skope them in place.

Great way of representing a tricky artistic comic book flourish.  :thumbup:

detourne_me

If you want i can try to do this, but I need the skin & skope since you continue skinning the rest.

AfghanAnt

Miguel, it's not big deal besides the keyframes for Phoenix_Classic isn't fond of extras (they float away from the mesh during some flight animations).
----------------------------------------------------
Teen Titans - Raven and Beast Boy
Spoiler
I was originally going to make Raven her Teen Titan skin color but I really didn't like it - So she's part McKone part Perez. Only enough doing these Titans made me think about doing the Team Titans I will most like do the animated version of Terra because Ink has an unfinished mesh of her that I wouldn't mind finishing up for him. I might even skin his Speedy (Mia Dearden) mesh as well just so there will be a complete set of Johns/McKone Titans.

Anywho, I'm going to finish Cyborg tomorrow and probably get the first half of these pack out Monday (maybe). I want to do a Soul Self fx for Raven and I still need to finish skinning Beast Boy's animal forms.



Outcast

Great work on the faces of both AA. I really like the colors. Nice and shiny.  :)

The teeth are just skinned on, not 3D.

Raven is impressive, AA.
And Beast Boy looks just like he should be. The teeth looks 3d.
Congrats!
