windblown's skins - Dr. Reyes

windblown · December 19, 2013, 11:23:31 PM

So, I've taken a small break of skoping teen mutants, just to do a group of young Marvel heroes which I've never seen in game.
Here is one of the skopes I've been working on lately ... and my first attempt of a skin to go with it.

The youngest member of Power Pack:

Big thanks to Hoss20 who helped me out with the skope, getting rid of a belt of the original mesh. The skin was done using parts of Tomato's newly released base skins, so thanks to him too.

the skopers are creating great skins, and soon will no longer need us, the revolution has begun we're being replaced arghhhhhhhhhhh

laughing paradox · December 19, 2013, 11:53:31 PM

I love the character choice(s). I'm kind of surprised Power Pack isn't in the game, either. There have been attempts in the past, but it never came through.

The skin looks pretty darn good! It's significantly better than my first attempt at a skin, that's for sure.

WyldFyre · December 20, 2013, 01:50:09 AM

Looking good windblown.

I like it. I'm still trying to get a skin done on my American Eagle skope. I hope it comes out half as good as your Energizer.

Her face looks really cute. Very nice skin for your first attempt Windblown.

Of course i like the skope as well.

Replaced implies that we can be gotten rid of. We've been creating content for a point and click PC game that came out the same year as The Santa Clause 2. We might as well admit that the only way to stop us from skinning is to cut off all our heads and impale us with wooden stakes.

Podmark · December 21, 2013, 01:24:43 AM

I like it! And a worthy character to see added to FF.

Seeing the placeholder skins you do for all your skopes I've never had any doubt you could create full skins. Glad to see you finally tried.

Bah! Speak for yourself! Not even that would stop me!

Sioux City Dynamo · December 21, 2013, 04:47:39 AM

Very nice!

hoss20 · December 21, 2013, 06:12:17 AM

I'm glad I was able to help in any capacity. After seeing a bit of a sneak peek while helping with the skope, I have to say that the finished product looks great. Nice job on the shading and the face is very well done.

Great skope and a great skin. And I have to say that your first skin outclasses my more recent skins. Very impressive. I am really hoping to see more.

AfghanAnt · December 21, 2013, 11:14:20 PM

Wow this is great. I really hope you do the rest of the team!

windblown · December 22, 2013, 03:43:31 PM

Thank you all for your comments

Here is the second one:

With a little skoping trick:

Spoiler

I hope I can give her some flying melee animations, but I'm still not sure if I will be able to do it with these keyframes.

AfghanAnt · December 22, 2013, 05:02:24 PM

I can't wait to see the boys. Really amazing work with the skope.

laughing paradox · December 22, 2013, 05:21:42 PM

Lightspeed looks great and I am loving that skope! I like that rainbow effect.

deano_ue · December 22, 2013, 06:29:49 PM

the one thing i would suggest is using a slightly lighter colour of the costumes to add an element of highlights to them

Podmark · December 22, 2013, 06:42:23 PM

Looking good!

In addition to UE's advice I'd suggest where you have lines on a skin like on the gauntlets and boots, add a lighter coloured line just below it. You can check any of my skins for examples. It creates an illusion of depth.

vorelliwiseau · December 23, 2013, 04:00:44 AM

Ah, windblown - expanding the brand, I see! These skins look adorable.

detourne_me · December 23, 2013, 08:55:40 AM

Adorable! And I'm super jealous right now!
Your first and second skins make my years of barely worthy of being called skinning look like downright garbage.
I'm really looking forward to the boys too!

Cyber Burn · December 24, 2013, 12:03:30 AM

Never thought that I would see the Power Pack team in FF. I'm assuming that you plan on doing the whole team? Do you have any plans for Franklin Richards? If I remember correctly, he hung around the team very so often.

windblown · December 24, 2013, 01:17:41 AM

Thanks everyone,

Thanks for the advices guys, I really appreciate them. I'll try to follow them with the next ones.

Yes, I'm going to do the four Power siblings for sure. Franklin has a good chance too

windblown · December 31, 2013, 03:43:06 PM

Aaand here is the first of the boys:

I've tried to follow TUE's and Pod's advices with the skin. As for the skope, here there are a couple of special animations to show his powers:

Spoiler

Big thanks again to Hoss20 for widening the waist of the mesh to have a more boyish look.

Happy new year!!

AfghanAnt · December 31, 2013, 04:18:07 PM

Amazing. I mean...just wow. I can't wait for the release.

Podmark · December 31, 2013, 06:35:02 PM

Looks great, and awesome job on the skope.
I can already see little improvements through your newest skin.

Cyber Burn · December 31, 2013, 07:37:58 PM

Geez, you are just throwing down some amazing stuff. That flying effect would be awesome for DC Comics' "Metamorpho".

And I'll agree with Pod, your skin work is improving as well.

Starman · January 01, 2014, 02:22:23 AM

Wow ... I've been waiting someone to do Power Pack for years and your work on these characters looks amazing. Congrats man ... fantastic stuff!

windblown · January 08, 2014, 01:35:48 AM

And today, the last of the siblings, the oldest Power Pack member:

This time, I've skoped the gaunlets instead of skinning them in the body. I can't decide how they looks better, what do you think?

And here is my attempt to do the aura that appears when he uses his powers:

Spoiler

Thanks again to Hoss20 for the body modifications

spydermann93 · January 08, 2014, 02:32:09 AM

Definitely skoped.

It adds depth.

ShortFuse · January 08, 2014, 03:00:14 AM

Not familiar with the characters but they look great. Love the fx work you have done as well.

Agreed.

Podmark · January 08, 2014, 03:48:19 AM

I'd need to see some reference for the design you're doing to know what works best. but the skoped look is good.
Great job on the Power kids.
