John's Skopes and Skins

[John Jr.]

Thanks, guys.
Tiobe made an awesome job with the hair and the shell compact and I'm very grateful for his help.

[BentonGrey]

Wow!  Tiobe's contributions make a huge difference.  That hair is perfect, and the compact is great as well.  Your skin is great.  I love the skin tone.  I would say you might want to brighten the hair a bit, but you're pretty close to perfect there.  Great work JJ!

Thanks, Benton. I agree about Tiobe's pieces, they are great!

I updated Reboot Saturn Girl (thanks again for the blue hue tip, guys).


And I'm finishing Livewire now:

[John Jr.]

Updating the update.
Added pouches to the kid's belts:






Updated Superman, I'm still playing with different S-shields.



And I made a new Superboy skope and skin. Thanks to Afghan Ant for letting me use his (amazing) new Superman skope as a base for my Superboy.



And that's all for now, folks.

[Podmark]

Ah the pouches are a great addition. Really liking the Legion skins, but that Superman skin is really nice. I especially like his face.

[murs47]

JJ, you're improving at a rapid rate. LW's face looks very distinct and your Superboy skin continues to improve.

[John Jr.]

Thanks, guys.
I'm only improving my limited skills thanks to you all. I learned a lot from your tips and tutorials.
I'm very glad you liked the new faces. I tried to give Superboy and Superman slightly different faces, so they would look like the same guy in different ages.
Livewire's face is a slightly edited version from my " kid" Lightning Lad's face.

i've played the first 2 levels of your mod, and i have to say your faces are stellar with the talking heads. it makes me want to make a clark kent head. all i really need to know is how many channels are needed and what each channel is for. ultimately, i will open up one of the head files with nifskope to see if i can figure it out.

[John Jr.]

Thanks, Bearded.
Great news about the Clark head, I'll be sure to use it.
When I skin an "emotion-like" face (smiling, angry, etc) I skin a different, "neutral" face to use with the talking heads.  
I hope you like my mod.

[devilance]

Great work! I'm also a huge fan of the Legion and would love to see more of the reboot versions. I thought it was a great unifying look for the team. Liked your Teen Urchin a lot also; can't help but notice how well she fits in with the few 70's versions of Freedom Force which were released. You did a great job!

[John Jr.]

Thanks! I'm very glad you liked them!
I'll start to work in a new mod in the next days, so my skope and skins output will be a lot slower for the next weeks, but I still have some classic and reboot Legionnaires and at least one more 70's Freedom Forcer in my "to-do" list.

[laughing paradox]

The Legionnaires look great, JJ. The pouches really complete the look. Superman/Superboy look particularly good.

Were you thinking of skinning Dragonmage? I always thought his powers were really cool.

[John Jr.]

Thank, LP!
I hadn't thought about Dragonmage, but it's a good idea.

[John Jr.]

After a lot of pc problems, I had to re-install   (and I'm not done yet), so my new mod is moving very slowly...
But I already have some WIPs:

James "Bucky" Barnes:


Sergeant Fury:


Resistance Fighter:


Many thanks to Courtnall 6 for letting me use his original textures for the weapons.

[Cyber Burn]

Very impressive John. Great skins.

[murs47]

Oh JJ, you are a joy to watch progress. Great skins.

[John Jr.]

Thanks guys.
I'll probably do Dum Dum Dugan next, we can't have the Howling Commandos without him, right?

[Outcast]

I like em..from the hair and their unique faces, to the color and cloth work details on each of their costumes. For WIPs they're very very good. I can't wait to see how they would look like when you're finished with them.

[Blkcasanova247]

Nice work! I'll make a suggestion on Bucky...well 2 actually. First change the gun to the Thompson on Renegades Ult.CapWWII mesh and secondly...while not imperitive but I did it for a Bucky skope a while back and I think it looks cool....add the mask from Vertex's Green Arrow.

[Podmark]

These are great. I really like the Bucky.

[John Jr.]

Thanks, guys. I'll make only minor changes to the skins (I still want to make Bucky's classic "star" belt buckle, add some detail to the clothwork, so on...), but I'm still not 100% satisfied with the skopes.
Thanks for the tips, Casanova, I'll see if I still have Ren's Ultimate Cap (I lost a lot of meshes/skins when my pc crashed).
EDIT: I already changed Bucky's gun to the Thompson. Thanks again for the tip, Cas.
I used a skoped mask (by Tommyboy) in an earlier version of Bucky, but I needed a skinned version for the talking head (since I made that skopes for a mod), so I gave it up.

[martialstorm]

Looking great John Jr. I've  been quietly enjoying your FF work plus my son and I had a great time playing both your mods 

[AfghanAnt]

I'm really loving the new stuff John especially the cloth work on Bucky and Fury.

[USAgent]

I've always wanted a version of that Bucky with guns and knives, great looking Johnjr.!

[John Jr.]

Looking great John Jr. I've  been quietly enjoying your FF work plus my son and I had a great time playing both your mods  

Thanks, I'm glad you and your son liked my Mods. You're lucky your son share some of your interests, the only super-hero my daughter  likes is Krypto, the Super Dog, and since there's no Krypto mesh yet she has no interest in FF.

I've always wanted a version of that Bucky with guns and knives, great looking Johnjr.!

Same here, USAgent. I really like Ed Brubaker's "Soldier Bucky", this one should be my 3rd attempt to make a good skope of him. I hope I got it right this time.

I'm really loving the new stuff John especially the cloth work on Bucky and Fury.

Thanks a lot, AA.

[billdamn22]

That is a great Bucky. You have some really good techniques for clothing. i like it!

I used a skoped mask (by Tommyboy) in an earlier version of Bucky, but I needed a skinned version for the talking head (since I made that skopes for a mod), so I gave it up.

I don't know anything about the talking heads, but could pieces (a mask) be skoped on? I know Tommyboy had quite a few heads floating around. Would that help?

[bearded]

it is very hard for me to make talking heads for  , but i'm still trying.
there is a krypto mesh. cape and all. i think beyonder made it.

[John Jr.]

I always use Tommyboy's talking heads in my mods, Bill, but I never found one with a "bucky-like" mask. I never was able to skope the heads too, the game crashed every time I tried it.
Bearded,
Do you have any idea where I can find this Krypto mesh? A certain 8 year old girl would be very happy if she could see it.
