And the hits just keep on coming!  Great work on all these lanterns, and especially the Sinestros!

That's another cool Red Lantern, you're doing a great work with these characters  :thumbup:

Cyber Burn

Very nice Line Work on Rankorr.

I'm looking forward to seeing your Sinestro Red Lantern design, your Red and Black Lantern Avatars as well.

Bloodshadow

Thanks guys,I haven't posted anything lately because of some really frustrating problems with a few of my Sinestros and Larfleeze.(not burnt out,just frustrated :banghead:)
So I took a little break from doing Lanterns and made a bunch of originals,some I will preview in a day or two but there are a bunch that I want to wait until all three teams are done before I preview them.I've made 17 skins in the past week and have about twelve more to go on an idea that just sorta happened a week or so ago ;)
It started as a small skin project for fun and has sort of grown from there into a lot of fun.It started with the idea that I wanted to match my team of originals up against the Xmen in the danger room,when I did it just didn't feel right having my originals taking on established mainstream characters so I decided to create my own original versions of the original Xmen, I finished that team and it sparked some ideas for the team from Giant Size Xmen and so began the second team which I'm about done with but now I've got a bunch more ideas for a third and possibly fourth team as well :wacko:
I'll be back soon with previews :cool:

Good luck on the original versions project, Bloodshadow! I'd like to do my original versions of some comic book characters, too, someday.

Also, 2-4 teams? This project of yours seems really big! Please keep us updated.

Oh, man! I can't wait to see what you came up with! :thumbup:

I always enjoy seeing original characters, it's right up there with seeing alternate takes on established characters.  :D

I can't wait to see what you've come up with.  :thumbup:

Bloodshadow

I will start with a general history of where I'm going on this little project,The concept I'm working from is that an alien "superman" named Mister Amazing by the media arrived on Earth in the early 1930s and defended America and Earth as the world's first superhero.shortly after World War 2 ended Mr. Amazing disappeared,unknown to the public he had been betrayed by his government and locked away for experimentation to determine the source of his superhuman abilities and try to replicate them.And so began the secret government program called "Project Genesis" which produced its first team of superhumans in the 1990s called "The Night Guard"

Left to right- Brute,Taylor Kane (T.K.),Gabriel,Red Eye and Coldsnap
In the summer of the year 2000,Mr. Amazing,insane from decades of captivity and torture,escaped from the facility where he was held and went on a murderous rampage until The Night Guard intervened.In the resulting battle Mr. Amazing,now calling himself "Sovereign",killed Coldsnap and Brute,crippled Red Eye and Gabriel and left T.K. in a coma from psychic feedback  when he shattered her telekinetic shield.Sovereign,weakened by the battle,was recaptured shortly after when The Cosmic Powered hero "Morningstar" arrived and defeated him.

Project Genesis began picking up the pieces,Red Eye and Gabriel were saved by the project's cybernetic division and T.K. was moved to a secure medical facility where she is supervised constantly by the project's psychic division.Two new teams of Gen Actives are authorized to fill the void left by the Night Guard's absence and a third trainee unit also.The Night Guard's "Alpha Team" forms around the newly cybernetically enhanced Gen Active and survivor of the 1st team called "Red Eye"

back soon with more :cool:

spydermann93

Holy crap, these look awesome, Bloodshadow!

I can't wait to see more! :thumbup:

I really like the costume designs.  Simple, yet effective.

Cyber Burn

You, sir, have a great flair for costume design. Not only are the costumes all very well implemented, but the story concept is very interesting. You have me eagerly awaiting the next preview, and more so, you have drooling for a release.

I think the stand out here is the Cybernetic "Red Eye", if you don't mind me asking, what Mesh is that on?

spydermann93

Looks like the Tharok mesh from LP's site.

Podmark

These all look great! Very nice clean designs. Thanks for sharing.

It is Tommy's Tharok_T, I have always liked that mesh for a good cyborg character,just never had a good idea for one until now
Next up is a skope of Grenadier's Fang mesh,My version of Wolverine,"Wildman

This one is my take on Nightcrawler using Podmark's Nightcrawler skope,"Brimstone"

Next is one that was born of a deep desire to use Afghan Ant's amazing skope.My version of Banshee and another cybernetically enhanced member (going with the idea that his sonic powers are uncontrollable and his 1st use made him deaf,Cybernetic voicebox and ears were created to help him control his sonic powers) And so I give you "Outcry"

I'll be back soon with more,doing some touchups on the next three and then I'll preview them.Next up is Iron Curtain (Colossus) Fallout (Sunfire) and Weather Witch (Storm),then I'll begin previewing the Omega team plus I've got some designs going for both looks of Mr. Amazing/Sovereign.

spydermann93

I'm loving these a lot, Blood! :thumbup:

laughing paradox

These are great, Bloodshadow! I can't wait to check out your upcoming characters.

I like the concept behind Outcry.

Podmark

I like the second set of Project Genesis costumes even more. Good job on these.

Awesome skins. Well done and I like the concept.

Bloodshadow

Thanks for the comments guys :cool:
First up today is another drastic alteration of the original character (Storm), I'm not totally happy with the result so she might get redesigned and remade before I release the set and so.....Weather Witch on Grenadier's Arcanna mesh

Next is my version of Colossus on Grenadier's IG_Neutron mesh that I call "Iron Curtain".I already have some design ideas for some alternate skins for this guy so you'll be seeing more of him soon.

I've been busy with a living room remodel (that was supposed to be just a new paint job,the wife got me again :doh: ) so the next couple days is gonna be busy for me but I'll be back with some new Red Lanterns mid week or so :cool:

Cyber Burn

I'm not a "Storm" fan, but this updated re-design looks great, much better than the Character that she is based on.

"Iron Curtain" looks great, I'm a major Colossus fan, so I'm always eager to see something new done with him. Great job on the hair and beard. I can't wait to see the alternate costumes for him.

laughing paradox

Nice stuff here, Bloodshadow.

I'd recommend getting the color/brightness of highlights on your female skins to match the male ones!

Podmark

I like the Iron Curtain too. The beard looks great and fits the character well.

Luv the beard work on Iron Curtain. :thumbup:

Bloodshadow

Thanks for the comments guys :)
Today I have a new original for you guys,I've been wanting an archer for a new group I'm working on,The colors are a nod to Hawkeye and Green Arrow but also because I'm trying to play around with color combinations that I haven't used much or at all before to make a more colorful group.And so here is the archer I named "Arrowhead"

Whatcha think?

ShortFuse

I like it. Turned out to be a nice color combination.

Cyber Burn

Your Line Work just never ceases to impress, and I've always been a fan of your original Characters. Is that Gren's "SSup_Black_Archer_Gren" Mesh? Did you skin the Sky Cycle as well?

Also, if you don't mind a suggestion, I think the belt and leg strap would greatly benefit from being Skoped on. I think it would add a little more definition and depth to the Skin in general, but like I said, it's just a suggestion.

And lastly, I really have to agree with ShortFuse, the color combination works very well.

I will not hesitate to admit that I am really looking forward to the release of all these Characters that you have been previewing.  :D

yep,sure is but I never even thought of the sky cycle,thanks for mentioning it,I'll probably go back and see what I can do with it tonight.

I would love to add the belt and strap but don't have skoping ability and I hate asking you guys to take time away from your creations to help with my originals ( I really need to get back to reading tutorials and practicing so I can swap parts myself )
Thanks for the input guys,I'll be back in a couple hours with a couple more previews and should have all the stuff previewed lately up on my yahoo group by mid week.

Bloodshadow

ok,hopefully you guys can help me with this one,I've had the design in my head for a while but really can't decide on a good name.Some that I came up with are Cerebus,Mad Dog,Hell Hound,what do you guys think?

I really like how he turned out, he's on Vertex' male_muscular_points69
