Pod's: Ant-Man & the Wasp released

[Podmark]

Yes! I've been waiting soooooooooooooooooo long for female versions of the Skottie Young unis.

*is happy* 

Yeah me too. When I finally finish X-Force I'll probably be working on them.

I haven't forgotten about your Gentle skin BTW. I want to update the skope before release so I'll try to do that soon. Also once Cyclops is all done I'll probably do the costume for the Choi skin we were planning.

[laughing paradox]

This skin has a lot of character in the face.. great job. I like the way the costume came out, too.

I particularly like the leg pieces you have for X-23. Looks like the perfect piece for a set of Generation X members.

[murs47]

I forgot about Gentle. Did I ever make the changes to it you asked for?

Yeah, when Skottie Young designed the New X-Men uniforms he was trying to create a combination of the New Mutants and Generation X uniforms so that's why the pieces are similar. I really like his designs, when they're drawn well at least.

I forgot about Gentle. Did I ever make the changes to it you asked for?

Honestly I have no idea. We'll revisit sometime soon I guess.

[Bloodshadow]

X23 looks great Pod
very cool looking skope too

[Blkcasanova247]

Very cool my man!

[area34]

Skottie's design was great because it felt like the old school uniforms but modern. I only bought that book for his artwork.-

X's face looks great. Like a cross between Middleton's and Choi's take.

[AfghanAnt]

Are you going to do her Talon costume as well?

[Podmark]

Which one would be her Talon costume? I know various characters have called her that but I don't recall a costume being associated with the name.

[laughing paradox]

I believe her Talon look is the costume that Fang wore from the Imperial Guard.

[murs47]

I think he means this one:

Spoiler

[Podmark]

The Fang costume? I skinned it before so if I fit in the updates (which is more likely than not) then yes.

To that end does anyone have any good ideas for skoping on the teeth around her shoulders, waist, forearms, and shins?

[Podmark]

Update to Cyclops.



Honestly I'm not sure if it's actually better or not. Well the forearm and shin guards are better because I improved the shape.
Some minor face edits, new chest disc, remade forearms, shins, and piping.

I played with the Match Colour function in Photoshop a lot in this one, and I'm reasonably happy with the results.

Next will be a black and silver X-Force variant for my buddy Murs. Then I learn how to a hand gun to the skope and reskin Cyclops' Torn costume.

EDIT:
Finished the What If X-Force Cyclops variant. Not really digging it, maybe Murs likes it more.

[electro]

I'm reasonably happy with the results.

You should be - It looks perfect

[Sledgehammer]

Those Cyke skins are fantastic. You should be proud of yourself: I'm totally digging the What If version as much as the first one.

Maybe you could make the silver bits a little bit darker? I don't know, I'm trying to guess what is making you doubt about a skin I particularly find very appealing.

It's not an issue with the skin, just the design. It wasn't working for me...at first. It's been growing on me since I skinned it.

Tomorrow is comics day so probably won't do much skinning. And this weekend I'm hoping to finish Mass Effect 2, but I'm hoping to squeeze in some work on the Torn reskin. I'd like to have the Cyclops 3-pack out by next weekend.
After Cyke I'm planning to either work on more X-23, or start on Wolfsbane or Archangel.

[Mystik]

I love wolvie, x23 and scott
cant wait to see you do warren hope do both forms

[Podmark]

cant wait to see you do warren hope do both forms

Yep!

[murs47]

Very nice Pod. I like the what if? variant. I think out of X-Force, Warren has been the one I've been waiting for the most. I love Yost and Kyle's handling of him in X-Force. He reminds me of Patrick Bateman in some ways.

[Podmark]

Cyclops Torn/Unstoppable reskin:



Haven't done the gun yet. I was hoping I could add it to my existing skope, but it seems I'll need to bring my skope to a gun-toting mesh.
I have mixed feelings about Whedon's X-Men run, but I did like Cyclops in the the last two arcs (well of what I've read, I never finished Unstoppable). He was kinda crazy but he also had some real cool moments. Also I love the Morrison jackets, I'd wear it in real life if I had one.

This will complete my Cyclops 3-pack. I still have to do the reflections on the other two, and any of your feedback on this skin. I'm off school this week so I figure I got at least 2 more skins in me before break's over. I'm motivated because I want to get the X-Force skins out the door before Yost and Kyle end their run in 4 months.

So I need to decide what to work on next. Choices are
1. Finish the X-23 updates (original, Fang, New X-Men) and Choi costume.

2. Start on Wolfsbane (X-Force, New Mutants update, possible third costume).

3. Start Archangel (X-Force, current).

[area34]

I wasn't a big fan of Whedon's run myself. I thought the Danger arc was just awful and most of what went on before and after was predictable in that Whedon did the same bits he always does (says someone whose never watched Buffy or Angel) but Cassaday's art was enough for me.

My vote would be X-23 since the only version I have is your old one.

[murs47]

Scott's face looks great, nice job on that Pod.

Tough choice...hmmmmm. I say Warren then Laura.

[crimsonquill]

Great job on all of Scott's looks, Pod.. 

I'd vote for X-23 and Wolfsbane skins myself since those have been on my wanted list for awhile now.. especially Wolfsbane's early X-Force uniform with the full mask in human and half-wolf modes.

- CQ

Yeah I'll be doing like 4 variations of Rhane's X-Force look.

[AfghanAnt]

How'd I miss the X-Force Cyclops - me likey. Astonishing Cyke's hair is brilliant. So subtle and realistic.

[laughing paradox]

I vote for X-23 also.

I'm curious, were you planning on doing Wolfsbane's original New Mutants costume? If so, where you also eventually planning on doing the original New Mutants costume as well?

I've skinned the original New Mutants before so as I do new skins of the characters I'll be knocking out reskins of the original looks to go with them. Right now only Cannonball and Cypher's original looks are online, but I did the whole team minus Warlock...I think I skinned Magma, can't remember for sure. Original Wolfsbane will definitely be included with the X-Force skins.

I didn't like it at first but I love the X-Force Cyclops now.
I probably spent the most time on that skin skoping the hair. I went through two or three versions before I had something I liked. I pretty happy with it but it doesn't hope up quite as well when you take a closer look at it.


Finishing X-23 is next. Finished one reskin last night, working on the Fang costume today. Looking for skoping parts is the big thing on this one, I'll be really happy if I can find something for the skull heads. I'll probably use the belt from Tommy's Tigra but I might have to skin on the other parts.

[area34]

When I made Doc Voodoo I used Mystique's skulls off her belt. They skin pretty well detail wise.

I was thinking about the Mystique skulls, they're not quite the right shape but I might be able to fix that. I'd have to add some teeth...

Also blame steamteck for making that thread about the Akinator in general. I've been wasting time on it all day.

[laughing paradox]

I just realized, you could use the thumb claw from a vxmale/vxfemale mesh to use as the teeth on Fang's costume.
