They're beautiful AA, love the Rogue and Mystiques from the skin tones and highlights through to the individual faces and attention to detail in the costumes!

[billdamn22]

Beautiful stuff as always. Really looking forward to the Sabretooth.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi AA,

I am a huge fan of your work!  I really like Mystique!  The way you have skoped and skin her is perfect!

Thanks for all you do!

you know what really gets me? how you can turn Bachalo's insane and sometimes incomprehensible designs into such vivid 3d life.

[spydermann93]

Afghant, you're a God among ants AND men.

[Jimaras8]

Are those released?

[ElijahSnowFan]

Easily one of the most fun -- though psychotic -- X-Men teams of all time. Glad to see the Mike Carey run given this kind of respect and work on the characters he used. It really was a fun run.

[Podmark]

Awesome. Just awesome. I want all of them.

[BentonGrey]

Those are all awesome, but MAN!  That Sabertooth is amazing!

[AfghanAnt]

Are those released?

They are not. I'm working on some updates and releases at http://freedomforceuniverse.com and when that is complete, I'll be launching all of this stuff and more.

Those are all awesome, but MAN!  That Sabertooth is amazing!

I've got the Jim Lee version in the midst that I think you would like but I need to finish up some ringbears first. 

[BentonGrey]

Ohh!  Awesome, I'll be looking forward to that.

[spydermann93]

Wow, AA. The update looks really neat!

[Cyber Burn]

Outstanding AA. You continue to blow me away.

[martialstorm]

God, thats just outrageously good! The attention to detail is amazing!

those must be some giant rings if they can fit on a bear's fingers.

Ha. That should be "ring bearers".

Well, for Sabretooth, in particular, I went by his original sketch for the design and used the colors from the comic. I thought about adding the caplet but it just wasn't going to work this mesh (which btw is probably going to be used for an update to my AOA Sabretooth as well).

Again thanks everyone.

Pfft, I like my reading of it better.

[Amazo Version 2.2]

geeze aa, these look amazing. i am always impressed with your creations.

[billdamn22]

Unbelievable..... True works of art.

[windblown]

Absolutely amazing skins! and I love that team shot at freedomforceuniverse.

[Bloodshadow]

Inspiring skins AA,but I'm most impressed by the face of Lady Mastermind,sweet job!

[laughing paradox]

I love the face work on Sabretooth and Lady M.

Very nice.

Does this mean we have some more Lanterns in the future? Excellent!

Sorry these aren't up yet. I started working on some skopes and pulling stuff together for the site and got distracted. They will most likely be up in a few days.

[deano_ue]

hey mate dont worry either way new stuff on your site or new skins all good

though you have sparked an idea with me with the skopped sabertooth its gave me something to think about, we might have to bat a few ideas around at some point

[ghazkul]

Sweet googly-of-moogly! Love Supernovas! One of my fave X-Men runs!

My wife (still wierd saying that) asked me to ask you if you had done a Jim Lee Rogue or Cyclops?
They are her favourite version of them (got her watching the old X-Men cartoon on honeymoon, in Espanol!).

[AfghanAnt]

I was reviewing all of the stuff that Unkoman and I put together a few years ago for Weird World and I found a quick paint sketch I did of her. It was oddly very far away from where she original ended up and a lot closer to the second design I did. I started skinning her and realized how much I absolutely loved her and I needed her to be a part of the team in her original role. I also realized I wanted Nunu to be more of spiritual, less physical role on the team so I redesigned her to have a vine whip as her main attack.


Many of the main villain haven't been skinned so I started skoping/skinning a design by Unkoman. I'm not going to give any background on her just yet.

[Cyber Burn]
