Martialstorm Skins (New) - "I'm the Doctor" 12th 6th & 1st

[martialstorm]

For my first real go at skinning I started Owlman from the Brave & Bold cartoon.

I began with the C6 male costume base and worked into a Male Alpha mesh.

Still have to work on shading and detail for the belt and arm/leg bands, plus add my own cape.

Eventually I plan to learn how to skope the extras but just working on skinning for now.

Hopefully I'm on the right track and all feedback is most welcome.

[Cyber Burn]

Good job on the face and Logo. I do hope you try your hand at Nifskope, it will really improve the flow of the skin.

[daglob]

That is quite good. I guess this means I really should finish my PV Red Hood.

[tommyboy]

It's a good start, the logo is excellent and it has the feel of the source material (the cartoon).
I'm sure as you work on the detailing and reflections it will only improve.

[Podmark]

I'll echo the others, it's a great start and you've really captured the look of the character.

If you want to try you hand at nifskope or someone is willing to help I'm sure you could find a mesh that better reflects the body shape and maybe get a modelled belt on it. The Timm meshes might be a good choice.

[AfghanAnt]

Neat. He looks a lot like DarkClaw.

[John Jr.]

Owlman is looking really good. The skin is great, specially the face.
I agree with Pod's suggestion about the Timm's bodies.

[billdamn22]

Excellent start. Everything is quite crisp and clean looking. I agree that a Timm mesh would rally do the character justice. Nifskope takes a lot of practice, but is really easy to use. Search the forum for some Nifskope tutorials. They really helped me out a lot.

[daglob]

There are also a couple of Batman meshes out there that have a more TAS appearence. Is one Male Alpha Edit? I used it for Bat Skrull.

[Cyber Burn]

And you could always ask for advice with Nifskope, there are alot of talented people here who would jump at the chance to help, I don't think anyone would turn you down.

Best of luck. I look forward to seeing more.

[martialstorm]

Thanks for the feedback everyone plus an extra thank you to C6 for supplying the base.

I'm starting to work my way through the Nifscope tutorials plus I've got some more skins to work on

Another WIP, this time Ultiman from Big Bang Comics.



Spent a bit of time on the face, boots and emblem but working on hair, costume and following skinning tutorials.

[Scorpion13mk2]

I like it. Very nice, bright and clean. Works perfect for the character.

[Cyber Burn]

I like it. Very nice, bright and clean. Works perfect for the character.

Agreed, my only suggestion would be to maybe use a different mesh. The belt line down the center does distract slightly from the rest of the skin.

I second that, Male Cape Nobelt or one of the variants. Maybe a skoped version of Ren's Superman?

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Nice job on the skin...I am planning some of the Big Bang characters myself....one day....

Will you tackle any of the others?

Respectfully,

[martialstorm]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll try one of the other meshes because the belt does detract.

As for other Big Bang Characters - Cyber whipped up some skopes for Mister U.S which I'm working on.

I know there are some very good Knight Watchman and Blitz skins. Personally I'd like to see both Beacon characters as well as Thunder Girl, Galahad and the other Whiz Kids.

I also thought it would be interesting to see a Project Super Powers style treatment of the Big Bang Group.

[daglob]

I know that Thunder Girl and Tornado Girl are in the works...

[yell0w_lantern]

They are done, actually. I just have yet to post them for download. 

[martialstorm]

Early stages of Superhero G from The Imaginaries...

[spydermann93]

That looks really cool martialstorm!

[murs47]

Oh nice, more talent coming aboard.

Everything's looking pretty good so far. I also really like your choice of characters.

[Outcast]

Definitely agree with the others that your Owlman wip looks pretty good. Nice job on making those faces of Ultiman and Superhero G more unique. Hope to see what they all look like when you're done with them, Martialstorm.

[martialstorm]

Thanks for the feedback folks, this is a gryphon base over Aquaman by Ren. Here's an update, i'm just about ready to release it:

[martialstorm]

After taking the good advice regarding meshes I thought i'd have some fun including the golden and silver age versions.

Planning on some releases shortly.


Happy New Year!

[Scorpion13mk2]

NICE.

Thats a damn fine skin you have there. The muscles and the highlights or whatever you call them are well done, and I really like how you did the faces.

[John Jr.]

They're great! I liked the way you made the "silver age" more shining, and the difference between the faces is just perfect! I can see which one is the "Golden" age just looking to his face.
A+ job!

[murs47]

That's a solid transition between the two ages. Both are different, but still the same. Well played.

[Cyber Burn]

The Golden Age face is supurb. Great job.

[martialstorm]

Thanks for the feedback, I had a lot of fun and it was a good learning process working on highlights, faces and hair etc.

Its good to play them in game using different power sets, plus I always enjoyed reading the multiple earth cross overs.
