Pod's: Ant-Man & the Wasp released

[laughing paradox]

Wolfsbane is shaping up very nicely. I like the wolfish form.

I'm curious about the status of X-23.. really looking forward to getting it in the game.

I'm curious about the status of X-23.. really looking forward to getting it in the game.

The X-Force skin is finished, along with several others. I want to finish one or two other costumes before release, but I've been working on other skins right now. Since I know you're interested I might try to prioritize her.

[laughing paradox]

That'd be cool, Pod.  I have all of your X-Force skopes in my game and it's weird not to have her extra set of claws hanging with the group.

At least with Wolfsbane, she was always cavorting with her Asgardian wolf prince, so I don't miss her as much.   And I just use a random skin of your Elixir skope until you are ready with your X-force version. I just want to say again, really great work on the group. They all came out very well.

[Podmark]

Pushed by LP, here is the completed X-23 set:


The first three are updates to my older X-23 skins. Then you have her New X-Men, X-Force and X-Men costumes.

To be released soon, possibly with Elixir.

[AfghanAnt]

The Fang costume is my favorite. Good work on these Pod.

[darkknight92]

Sweet! 

[cryonic2099]

I'm with AA...always liked that look on her. Great work on all of them!

[laughing paradox]

Nice work, Pod! I actually like the third one the best, but that X-force look is perfect.

[murs47]

This is a great skin set, Poddy!

[Podmark]

Thanks guys. The X-23 set is now available.

I'm currently debating whether to update my previous Elixir skins, or just release the new X-Force skin.
Still need to work on New Mutants Wolfsbane. Still have to skope and skin the gauntlets for Surge, should go fast once I finally start. Then I have to finish up Tomato collaborations 2 & 3.

I have a pretty good idea what I'm planning to do after all that is done.

[John Jr.]

I'm not familiar with X-23, but the skin set is stunning, Pod. All the costumes look great, but her face is the best part of the skins, she's very expressive. The hair is great too.
Impressive work, as always.

[Podmark]

And now the second of 3 collaborations between me and Tomato. This time it's the New X-Men Anole.

First we have Anole's original costume as a member of the training squad Alpha Squadron. This one is a reskin of my older skin.
Then we have his uniform as a member of the New X-Men.
Finally we have his costume as a member of the Young X-Men. I've now skinned 5 of the 8 kids who were on the Young X-Men.

Tomato provided the enlarged arm, the spikes, and a remodeled head. I'm really happy with his work, Anole is a character I've wanted to do for a long time but I was never happy with my skoping attempts particularly the arm. And the skope includes an animation for his tongue.

Anole is one of my favorite New X-Men. Originally he was a minor character but he gained a large fan following and was upgraded to a main cast member towards the end of New X-Men. Since then he's been one of the most visible of the kids.

There is one more skin from my collaboration with Tomato. It's a Marvel character, a teen but not a New X-Men. I'm not sure what I'm going to work on next but it will probably be that or finishing off Wolfsbane or Surge.

[murs47]

This is so money!

[Tomato]

my my, isn't he a handsome devil?

Great work man. I'm blown away by the level of detail you put into this skin... it couldn't be any more clear that you put some serious effort into this skin.

[blobula]

Awesome work as usual Pod.

[Figure Fan]

I'm unfamiliar with the character, but the skins/skopes rock.

[Outcast]

I like the rock like skin/texture you did in his right arm,shoulders and hair. The face looks well done as well. Oh and i like the fang costume of X-23 too, her purple costume in the middle (the one with the ring belts and wrestling like boots), and the one in the far right (the one with the boot paddings?). Still impressed with her face too. 

[billdamn22]

Seeing a lot of your skins makes me wish I didn't give up comics so long ago. I have no idea who this character is, but your presentation of him makes me want to find out more. Brilliant!

[Cyber Burn]

Very obvious as to how much love went into this. Great collaboration guys.

[Podmark]

Thanks, guys. Anole is now available at HeroForce.

[laughing paradox]

Anole! Sweet.. I particularly love the details you added in the first costume, like the seams on the shoulder and the shorts. Really nice job, Podmark.

Give us a better hint for that third collab character!

[Podmark]

Give us a better hint for that third collab character!

It's a non-X-Men Marvel teen female from a comic released within the last 5 years. Skinning her is going to force me to skin a bunch of related characters. I've been working on her today, approaching 50% complete.

[herowithoutacape]

The only thing coming to mind is a certain group of kids who have, erm, run away from home...

[Tomato]

you won't guess. when pod asked me to mesh her, I had to ask prem... and all he could tell me was what comic she was made for.

[Podmark]

lol yes. You'll only figure it out if you're up to date on current comics. But it's not a contest or anything, just put that up in case anyone was wondering.

I'll skin some characters people have actually heard of soon enough. Not necessarily in costumes most are familiar with though.

[USAgent]

Anole turned out real good, both the mesh parts from Tomato and especially that skin, nice job on that lizard texture on the head.

[Podmark]

I just skinned Hank Pym. But which version? Ant-Man? A Giant-Man? A Goliath? Yellowjacket? Dr. Pym? Wasp? Click the spoiler to find out!

Spoiler

It's Yellowjacket!

I had an idea for a new Yellowjacket skope based on Tommy's Wasp mesh and was struck with sudden motivation to put it together and skin it. So Hank will shrink and grow like Tommy's new meshes.

Hank is probably my favorite Avengers and I've wanted to skin him for forever, but never did for various reasons. In the future I plan to skin more versions of the character. I have one already started, but it's on the back burner for now. I'll likely return to my previous project now that this is out of my system.

I used Murs' logo tutorial for this skin. It's a good technique.

[Previsionary]

Yay, you used Murs's logo tutorial! Finally, he'll feel vindicated and useful. Nice job, Pod. Henry is not a character I care much about, but your skin did him justice (is that a compliment? ). I'm not really fond of the belt though, just because it looks like a flat block of yellow, and it stands out to me in a negative way. :S

*is amazed a dead Canadian is able to skin. Could've sworn Podmark was blown up.*

[laughing paradox]

Hank is really well done, Pod. I kind of agree with Prev about the belt, but I think it's just that the belt buckle needs its own highlights and shadows. I think the logo came out perfect.

[Podmark]

*is amazed a dead Canadian is able to skin. Could've sworn Podmark was blown up.*

My custom title clearly states that I'm a zombie.

did him justice

I'm going to skin him again soon.

I kind of agree with Prev about the belt, but I think it's just that the belt buckle needs its own highlights and shadows.

Yeah I hear you guys, it's bugging me too. I'll fix it up. I might make the belt black, Yellowjacket sometimes had a black belt.


EDIT:
updated the belt. I think this looks better.
