AfghanAnt Artistic Advances 7/8/16 - Marvel Adventures Exclusives

[Podmark]

I'm not really familiar enough with Wildchild to say. The different meshes really give it a different effect and I can't say without checking some reference. So I'll go check out comicvine and get back to you.

Great work though. Highlights are very smooth. The new AA looks great too. His face kinda makes me laugh.

[BentonGrey]

Well AA, I'd be happy to help you as much as I could if you decided you wanted to start learning it.  WW mod?

Hmm...I think I like the second one best.  The face seems more appropriate. 

[Xenolith]

Well, the one on the left reminds me more of john byrne alpha flight era Wild Child.  I'm not sure what you are aiming for though.

[Podmark]

Looked at some AoA Wild Child, and honestly I saw pics that could work for either one, so honestly I'm not sure. Which one do you like AA?

Spoiler

The size (i think) is better in skrull but the face is not to similar (i prefer the other one); so if you coul mix both he could be so wonderful.

I am actually most fond of the skrull base because the file is smaller and I didn't need any alpha layers to achieve the effect I wanted. I guess Wildchild has "Sabertooth" syndrome where every artist draws him differently.

[UnkoMan]

Honestly... I think the regular one looks more AoA, but also... that's just my preferance to that paticular character. I always liked him as a ferral but oddly handsome character, his face displaying the emotion that was kept inside. The caveman look works though.

Really, I'd say... release both! Let the user decide. I think my avatar comes with an extra mesh that has a short cape just in case. So why not?

[Champion 2 of 11]

I say the skrull base one as long as we get to see the ears!

[Ares_God_of_War]

For AoA I like #2 alot. It seems to capture the feel of him more there. Now #1 actually gives me a more Weapon X comiv vibe where he was bald and like snow white/grey and Sabertooth had the James Hetfield from metalica haircut

[Lunarman]

I think the one of the left looks best

[Sledgehammer]

I choose the second Wildchild, AA. Works better in my opinion.


I must say your Rogue is a truly piece of art. Great stuff going on here, keep it up.

[Failed_Hero]

The one on the left would be great if you were going for the modern wild child


The second one would work for classic and AOA Wild Child.

I prefer the one on the right because I like the classic look of a mini sabertooth, that I could on some level feel sorry for.

[USAgent]

I like the one on the right, it has a more unique look to it.

[freedomgod55]

good very good afganant keep it up !!

Morph's Active Defense

Spoiler

I'm really happy with how this turned out.

I am so glad this project is done. I was suppose to send this pak out on Jan 16 and it is Feb 15!

[The Enigma]

It's a great skin, especially that costume work (minor things with his face, including the top lip and his nose lacking definition - I'm aware that's the character's design) but the Active Defence is what really makes it superb. Your graffiti is just perfect.

[deano_ue]

you my friend are a bloody machine

I'm quite happy with the face. Also Morph doesn't have a nose and the top lip has a cleft.

[vamp]

Dude. That face is amazing. But I'm sure you knew that 

[USAgent]

Fantastic looking Morph!  You ought to be proud of his active defence, that is just too cool!  Excellent idea.  And that group shot!  Looking forward to the releases.

[Jakew]

That graffitti for Morph's "wall" defence, with the pic of Morph's original costume, is a fantastic touch.

The Exiles look amazing.

[detourne_me]

hot dang thats good!

[DrMike2000]

Morph's active defence is a work of genius. I love it!

[Lunarman]

Wonderful morph skin! Absolutely great

[miguelyanke]

that's lovely!!! XD but the effect of a nose in his face looks strange... U-.-

Spoiler

[BentonGrey]

Wow...yeah, I agree with pretty much everything that's been said about just how awesome Morph is.  It seems like these AoA skins of yours have been even more fantastic than your normal work AA.  That active defense is just perfect.  I mean, that, and the flyswatter hand....I remember those PRECISELY from an issue of AoA.  They are absolutely perfect, like they were ripped from the page.  Great work man! 

I see that you went with the Skrull skope for Wildchild, and it does look great.  The other one gave him a bit more humanity, and I think that probably didn't jive with what you were going for with it.  This one looks more bestial, and appropriately so.

[AfghanAnt]

I'm sorry I have no idea what you are trying to say. Are you talking about the bridge in the nose because there is no actually nose.

That is exactly why I went with it. I kept looking at Wildchild in-game and he just looked like this thin man crouching on the ground. There wasn't that wild, beast thing going on. The character himself is so weird. He's been a little troll thing to a muscley man to a wild elf thing to a goblin to gothic thing.

The whole purpose of this pack was to create something I loved about the X-Mythos because right now the X-titles blow really hard. It is like all the action and fun has been replaced with "drama" and "secrets". I honestly think everything after Messiah CompleX killed the X-Men for me.

[BentonGrey]

That's one of the things that makes FF so incredibly great.  Thanks to artists like you, our favorite characters can exist JUST the way we want them.  That's what I've always loved about it.

that's the mesh has no nose but your skin looks like he has, i think, 'cause there are shadows in the middle of the eyes... i think the light should be reduced a lit not to look as shaping.

[ARGH!!! IT's DIFFICULT]

Anyway it's just my opinion

[Sledgehammer]

Simply brilliant! I can't tell you how much I like Morph, and that active defense is extremely creative. Fantastic work with AoA, overall.
