Tomato's skinwork: Atomik (01/09/21)

Tomato · April 19, 2009, 10:54:18 AM

So, I went back and looked through the archives, and apparently I've gone almost two years without updating my Avatar skin. I really have been slacking off

I am so jealous of your face work. Every time you skin him it gets better. I don't like the black costume, though. Maybe add some highlights so it stand out more.

Can't wait to see the finished piece.

Looks great! You should definately do more mainstream stuff. If only for the facework! Great stuff cant wait to see more.

How did I miss this one. I really love the eyes.

What image program are you using?

Cyber Burn · April 20, 2009, 02:07:28 AM

Love the eyes Mato. Great highlights.

I use Paint Shop Pro X2, love it's vector tools. Makes creating logos relatively easy.

eh, that's a matter of opinion, methinks. Personally, I prefer the one I did waaay back during the FC days over the next couple.

For those who don't already know, the skin base I'm working on for this skin will be serving a dual purpose for me. On top of being a shiney base for my Tomato skin, I'm designing the whole thing in such a way that I'll be able to severely cut back on the work I have to do with every skin. Previously, I would restart every skin essentially from scratch, thus the slow outpouring of releases from me. This base, however, is layered so that I can quickly change it to the colors I want without all the tediousness of re-highlighting every. single. time.

In short, Me more skins make.

Oh, and check out them thumbs!

More skins is always good

And this one looks excellent. Highlights are prefect.

The Hitman · April 20, 2009, 07:25:19 PM

Lookin' pretty good so far, Mr. Tomatoy- Head! Really, really like that face work.

Nice.

TAP43 · April 21, 2009, 09:32:02 PM

That is looking really great, looking forward to seeing the rest when it's done.

Tomato · April 21, 2009, 09:35:42 PM

deano_ue · April 21, 2009, 09:38:45 PM

Podmark · April 21, 2009, 09:41:49 PM

Too cool.

gengoro · April 21, 2009, 10:29:54 PM

Nice!

AfghanAnt · April 21, 2009, 10:45:26 PM

Holy crap! I had the same idea for my avatar. I was going to redesign him as a blue lantern. Maybe this should become as new trend?

Freedom Reborn Lanterns FTW!

The one on the left is the previous version, FYI

laughing paradox · April 22, 2009, 01:07:45 AM

You're going to have to teach me your highlighting technique, it's unbelievabe.

The Hitman · April 22, 2009, 01:17:03 PM

Wow! Looks really good!

(And here, I thought youm were just posting a funny Lantern-ish oath!)

Yeah, I was fiddling with the glow and hit post too soon

Blkcasanova247 · April 22, 2009, 03:02:51 PM

These skins are excellent! I love the symbol on the GL Tomato. Aces buddy!

daglob · April 22, 2009, 07:01:49 PM

This begs the question: "What kind of Lantern is your avatar?"

murs47 · April 22, 2009, 08:07:28 PM

Yes! More Lanterns!

billdamn22 · April 22, 2009, 09:50:38 PM

Freakin sweet, Mato. I like The logo! Very imaginative.

docdelorean88 · April 23, 2009, 04:13:29 AM

I think you sir, have just heard the publics voice! We want to see a tomato lantern+fx! What a great design! Nice stuff Veg head!

Tomato · April 24, 2009, 07:09:11 AM

Don't have time to seriously work on this tonight (stupid orthodontist evils) but whatever. Yar.

Podmark · April 24, 2009, 07:49:19 AM

Well that's a really cool body. No idea who it's supposed to be yet though. I'll need more than a foot.
