Hey all, figured I'd show what I've been working on. And also ask for some help on a couple of them as well.
Bane:

Black Knight:
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/361/bkdaney.jpg)
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the dodge/defend animations to captain america ones and to have a shield appear only on those animations. Also, the helmet stays exactly where it is during all animations.
Black Hand:
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9062/blackhand.jpg)
Would it be possible to put the ring, lantern, and some animations from a green lantern mesh onto ren's omni-man mesh.
Captain Britain:

Saint Walker:

This is a base skin I started for Saint. If anyone would be willing to skope him that would be awesome. ;)
Sinestro:

I've got a couple more in the works. Hopefully more after that too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :D
Wow. Just ... wow!
It's great to see you back in the saddle - and your skinning has gotten better!!
Your faces are more defined than ever and your colors are more striking.
Love your new take on Sinestro!
Wow is right.. that's very impressive work, Murs.
You've really stepped up your game to the nth degree. Black Knight and Black Hand really leap out at me.. I am really digging your style.
Wow these all look great! Are you going for the Secret Six approach to Bane?
I'm sure Prev is going to love the MI13 stuff.
Those look great, particularly Bane (nice to see him on a smaller mesh), Black Knight (cool costume) and Sinestro (once again, great to see him on a different mesh). :thumbup:

Incorrect, you canadian! I hate it. But I do love John's look. :P
Murs knows I'm joking. ^^
...John's thumbs look necrotic. O.o
Oh my goodness....Murs...I do believe this is some of the best work you've ever done. These are all good skins, but some of these are absolutely FANTASTIC! Your face on Hal is great, not overstated but really distinct. Your Sinestro though...my goodness...all I can say is "curse you," because now I'm going to have to update my Sinestro! These are phenomenal Murs, just phenomenal!
Murs my boy...you've done it again. PM me...I'll work out those some of those animations and other stuff for ya. And don't worry....I haven't forgotten about our previous project. ;) The Black Knight, Black hand and Captain Britain are my faves in this bunch. I will say that the blue in Cap Britains uniform needs to be darker and the red a little richer. ;) The face work on Sinestro is fantastic! :thumbup:
Wow. You really WIP it good Murs. :P
I think this is the first time I've seen someone skin the Black Knight in that costume.:unsure:
Great work on all of them so far. :thumbup:
i LOVE THESE!! I'm just getting back into the ff grove and was thinking about skoping some lanterns in anticipation of BN, I'm gonna send you a pm soon
I'm fond of your work :thumbup:
I'm in awe of these man. The Facework is superb! I do have a few critiques, though
-On gloes, watch the fingernails. It's somewhat obvious
-Stewart's you missed the thumbs on Stewart.
-Kyle, Sodam, and Sinestro's hair looks overly bright compared to the spandex.
the face work and texture on the clothes is amazing, murs47 you are on of the few select skinners on here that really push the bar
Damn you've been busy. I'm really loving the MI-13 skins.
Murs it's wonderfull!!!! LOVE'EM!
I am loving the lanterns. And Bane's build is great! Nice work.
Whoa, dude. Whoa. I haven't been around much lately but... were you always so freakin' awesome? Holy smokes. That Black Hand is particularly fantastic. Really creepy.

*the '4' is backwards in the pic, i knoes. :P
Haha. They look great Murs! Awesome job on the details of the faces.
It's great to see your avatar finally skinned (Green lantern edition pool). :P
great work!
is there a murs group i can download and watch for skins as they become ready?
These are awesome!
I like the "big eye, little eye" facial detail on the classic costume. Gold :thumbup:
Fantastic work here murs!
I love the detail on Wade's face and guns. :cool:

What about THAT one?!? And you call yourself a completist.
But really, nice skins. I really like the black costume, but its belt buckle appears to be floating.
Awesome work on all of them murs keep it up.
Nice work, but please, stay away from the Marvel Girl outfit.

But we're getting off topic. Murs has intimated to me he will not do Marvel Pool. Discuss... and by that, I of course mean tear him limb from limb.
I don't know why not; Tom Versatile Male has guns and knives, along with a skirt and a pointy mask... scope in a SMG and he'd be ready to go.
Murs you are awesome. Great work.

Murs! Some really fantastic work lately man! These are all great. I wish I had time to give a bit more feedback, but suffice to say 'keep up the great work!'

I had to check twice to see if Sodam Yat was actually Deadpool in disguise. ;)
Great skins.. it's unbelievable how good your skinning is.
Please tell me you finished your Ultimate DC skins and just waiting for that site to go up. If not, finish them!! :)
amazing skins just great :thumbup:
Nice update to Sodam Yat, looks much cooler. Is that patriotic Deadpool based on that C&D cover? Always loved that cover.
Love the new stuff! Awesome work as always...
You know what threat title I am talking about...melts in your mouth...
Anyway, when is Ion being released because I saw that and honestly thought it was not only your best skin so far it looked like it walked right off the page. Skinning plus skoping = win.

Get your mind out of the gutter young man! :o
Joking aside, I uploaded him last week with close to a dozen other skins. I may have uploaded incorrectly, it's only my 2nd time using FTP. The skope is by Cas, who did an excellent job. :thumbup:

The Flare is a human torch copycat, but his powers have been eating his body away. The mini focuses on his last few days of life where he reflects on his past(mostly the regrets).
Mars is pretty much a god. An anti-social recluse to boot. The premise of the story is that Earth is being invaded by an alien race which has wiped out all of Earth's heroes. Mars stands as the last line of defense yet he doesn't want to do it. There's still one more issue in the mini so we'll what the outcome is soon. Judging by the way the last issue ended, I don't think he will be saving the human race.
Thanks for the comments everyone....I'll fix those fingernails :banghead:
Beutiful work again murs! Great job on the faces! :cool:
Murs, you've stepped up your already impressive skinning a notch ever since you released those amazing DC originals ... all your little details are razor sharp, and your colours are popping.

Awesome job.

Some really nice stuff here. I'm very impressed. :o
awesome amazing spectacular skin :thumbup:

A really nice Catman there Murs. I love the face you've got on him. With those eyes, he just looks dangerous!
wonder what batman would look like without underoo's?
Quote from: herodad1 on July 04, 2009, 03:09:48 PM

It doesn't work either. It only works when his costume is one colour...like in the movies...or it is totally redesigned like Azrael Batman.
Meh... I'm not one who usually agrees with the "don't change anything" crowd but... I agree on Catman. The Design just seems lacking without the underoos to break up the body.
Well I'd keep the underoos just for accuracy sake (I'm an accuracy freak) but otherwise the skin looks awesome. Also Catman is my favorite character in the Six, which is my fav DC title.
I think the whole "underwear over the pants" thing is as ridiculous as Liefield's 50,000 pouches design. The fun thing about skinning is having the creative freedom to interpret characters as you wish. ;)

Mine's Floyd...although I'm starting to lean on Bane. He's peculiar in an entertaining way. ^_^
Awesome work on Catman Murs. I think it's not the same without the underwear but it's your call. :P
What's wrong with underwear as overwear? I do it all the time.
Of course that would explain all the funny looks...
Anyhow, everybody's too good at skinning now. I'm glad I quit!
Murs, I LOVE ALL YOUR SKINS!! They look great, seriously! But I have to ask 3 things:-
1. Are you doing any of the other Lanttern Corps? ie Star Saphires, Orange (Larfleeze!!!) or Purple Lanterns?
2. As the first issue of Blackest Night shows that
Spoiler
Black Hand uses Batman's skull rather then an actual lantern
will you be adding that to any mesh you do?
3. Whenwill you release all this meshy goodness!??!?!?!?!??!!!?
QuoteAre you doing any of the other Lanttern Corps? ie Star Saphires, Orange (Larfleeze!!!) or Purple Lanterns?
I want to do Miri of the Star Sapphires. While Fatality has received more play time in the regular GL title, and Carol is the more common face, I think Miri is a true believer in the ideals of the Star Sapphires rather than being brain washed like the others.
There are two people trying to put something together for me but nothing is guaranteed. So we'll see. *crosses fingers* :)
Larfleeze - I've been given a skope for him but I'm the middle of a burnout.
I don't have the skoping knowledge to pull of what you're asking in question #2

Alrighty, with Marvel's recent announcement of acquiring Marvelman/Miracleman I thought to myself: "How the heck do they plan on bringing in new readers with such an ugly costume?" So, I was inspired to "modernize" his look for fun's sake. EDIT: Here's my take on Kid Miracleman's look at the end of Moore's run.
(http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/771/mmreborn.png) (http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/2837/kidmmreborn.png)
Having been looking at costumes from the Golden Age lately, I didn't think there was much wrong wiht Marvel/Miracleman.
Until I saw that costume. VERY nice.
It's crazy just how clean your skins are. Good design.
I like it...I like it a lot! :thumbup:
Looks like Ultimate Marvel Man.
astonishing! Johnny Bates' face is fantastic. I really like these characters. great reimagining murs!

Well whats more to say except awesome skins, all of them! I really like your style, brings a more "modern" look to the characters and thats very nice.
That modern Thunderbolts costume looks amazing ... ultra-clean, detailed, and faultless :thumbup: Good work!
Unbelievable stuff. You've inspired me to step up my skinning game.

There are many reasons. Several involve cookies. Mmmm cookies.... :wub:
Great skins Murs. Never stop skining. Ever. It would be an injustice to the world.
Moonstone is a little too white I think, the costume always looked more grey and shinny.
The the Authority guys look awesome, especially the details on Midnighter. Reminds me I need to finally read the Authority. Yes I haven't read it yet, don't worry it's on the list.
Songbird could benefit from a skope maybe. Swordsman is very cool, I love the mask. Can't wait to see the rest of the team.
While I love your skins, Murs, I think you need to focus on the facial features of your females. Your guys' faces are all unique, well designed, well shaded and perfectly capture their personality, but I think you've used the same smirk on every female skin thus far (all 4 of 'em ;)). So, I think you should try to branch out and diversify your faces. Other than that, well, you know how much I love your work. Haha.
Some really nice stuff here lately, Murs. The costume on Moonstone is beautiful!
great skins amazing midnighter

Moonstone/Ms. Marvel, Songbird, Ultimate Wonder Woman. Okay, fine, three.
ultimate wonder woman doesnt count...:thumbdown:
Radioactive man is much larger than that, no?
Great stuff Mursy! :thumbup: And I do believe that AA is correct about Radioactive Man; he should be bigger. ;)
Brilliant!
Yeah I gotta agree with AA. But otherwise good job.
I see why he's nagging you its off the chain!
Many thanks to LP for the cool Spider-Woman skope ^_^

Great Spider-Woman! Glad the skope worked out.
I like the simplicity of the Plutonian.
The skinning work on both of these are great but something is bothering me about Spiderwoman's hair.
Spiderwoman almost looks like a figurine :thumbup:

It's the color...it's not black. And also it's got this stripey thing going on...looks weird. All and all Mursy...nice work on 'em both...but I'd address Spider Womans hair. ;)
They look really nice, but yeah something unnatural about the lines on Jessica's hair.
i realized i forgot to re-skin the hair when LP changed the skope. i'm not sure when i'll get to fixing that though... :unsure:
Good looking skins Murs! My favorite would be Ripclaw and his cyborg arms. :thumbup:
But yeah, the lines on Spiderwoman's hair is a bit distracting.
(http://ffcenter.net/champions/murs47/overkill.jpg)
The Overkill twins, Zack and Xander. Wasn't really sure what color scheme to use as the books seems to be colored with dull and dark tones while also changing. I'll probably end up doing a brown sweater version eventually. To make some slight differences to them...Zack's skope has a handgun and knife...while Xander has a machine gun.

Omg, the textures on Overkill - My eyes burn with complete and utter jealousy! Maybe you could do a tutorial, because that mister....THAT just blew my mind!

Yay! Awesome Kyles!
Those Kyles are looking sweet. Ya know, while his isn't my favorite, or least favorite personality, i have always liked his suit designs.
I love your Kyles. He was always my favorite GL. It's good to see such a solid rendition of him.
Love the creases, textures, and gun details on Overkill.
It's an overkill in perfection! :thumbup:
So I decided to try my hand at a base skin on my free time. I primarily used bodybuilders as reference with a little Ed McGuiness art.
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7553/basetv.png)
Very nice.
Good work man. I knew you had it in you! :thumbup: Can we see a backshot as well?
I love your skinning, the work is excellent and that new base skin looks very good :thumbup:
I love it, Murs. The chest and abs are wonderful.
Always happy to see a new base! I will for sure be trying it out. :thumbup:
Whoa. That is a heckuva base. I might start using that for my really muscular guys. Nice work.
the base looks fantastic
Really nice muscle definitions on that base Murs, not to mention the details on the face. :thumbup:
I'm no expert/artist but there's something bothering me about the groin area and thigh area's sharp cuts. It sometimes feel inconsistent with the smooth round curves i see on some other parts. :wacko:
Maybe i'm just analyzing it too much though. :doh: It's a very chiseled look so there are times that i think those sharp cuts is how it should really look. :banghead: :penguinspin

I wanted the muscles to have a little bit of an overlapping look to them rather than transitioning to each other.
That's pretty solid work man. Good job! ;)
would make a good luke cage!
Really solid base.. it looks great.
Very cool Murs. The forearm is especially neat looking.
Astounding!
Loved the base skin and the Spider Woman.
That neck looks so realistic but the forearm has toomany muscles don't 'ye think so?...
Anyway THAT'S A PRETTY arse!!!! Yuuuujuuu!
yeah, the muscles are fine!we dont have enough thick muscular base meshes to choose from.it use to go from male_basic to male_heavy which is too bulky for some characters who are slightly bigger than male_basic.as a suggestion to whom-ever, different heighths with muscles would be nice too.nice work!
GREAT base skin! I love the way you put your name under the feet. Very clever.
awesome can t wait to download it
Wow, gang. Can we let the guy decide whether or not he wants to release his base for the public before jumping on the, "can't wait to use it!" train? I mean, it could be for personal use. *shrugs*
Good job, Murs. I can't wait to see who'll be the first character skinned on your base. ^^

I'm not sure yet. I'm considering using it exclusively for my ultimate dc skins to give them a unique look. IDK yet. If so, I could always make some more.
In all honesty, I wanted to create something a little more universal and judging by some of the comments posted already it seems to be perceived as an ideal base for super muscular characters. Could I skin The Flash with my new base without hearing "it's too muscular"? Probably not. Which is odd because the character, like every other comic character, is drawn with very defined muscles regardless of body type. But maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions.
Anyways, I'll more than likely create a base that the community as a whole views as universal and release that for public use as a big thank you for all the support I've been given. I have no idea when that will be though.

Do a quick Flash (ish like maybe just bare bones body mask type thing) skin. It'd give us an idea how it'd look on less super muscular characters.
Well I got no problem when people try to draw superheroes with very defined muscles. I understand that people have their own style when it comes to drawing them. I saw this variant cover of Hulk#16 by Ed McGuiness and I thought Deadpool was drawn a little more muscular than usual, but i didn't think it was bad. I've always liked the skins you do, so i don't think that will change if you ever decide to try a different style. :)
Do a new Bishop with metal arm ^_^
I don't find this skin overly muscular at all. It seems pretty much standard normal musculature for super heroes.
If you released it, I would use it for muscular characters simply because most of my characters are not. In fact, for men, I use my cartoon base which has almost no muscles whatsoever. So, for my stuff, it's muscley. For your stuff I think it'd look perfectly normal.
see, I like it... it's got a good amount of detail but it doesn't feel as... busy as some of the other, older bases do(including IMHO, ye old C6).
I wanted to give my base a test run...so I did. I'll try and upload it later to the Champs site later for closer examination. I found some areas that need work already. Maybe you guys could spot something else as well.
(http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/9265/39660021.jpg)
murs, i cant see a thing wrong with that.VERY nice job!
Maybe it could use some wrinkles and seams...but other than that....it's just awesome Murs. :thumbup: Nice job!!
Really nice facial work. The red on the glove and the boots look a little more saturated than the rest though.
great work as always..... :D
That looks awesome. My only suggestion is to skope a belt on it. Really nice Murs.
Thanks for the comments guys. I'm actually not to worried about how Daredevil looks exactly atm, more so how the base is working. I will be keeping your critiques in mind cause he is far from done. I'm definitely going to detail the crap out of him thanksgiving or christmas break.
Anyways, it's available on champs if anyone would like to give it a closer inspection and give any constructive criticism. :)
i'd say the base is working very nicely, only the belt and straps look out of place, I know it was only a test piece but you will have to kick up the detail on your extras to make it all flow nicely, I really couldnt say anything else wrong with it, nice work.
Sweet! Ya know, this is the dude we need to makes some movie skins. Like Green Goblin, or The Dark Knight Etc. I mean they just look so darn realistic!
Daredevil looks solid.. I'm not seeing any flaws in that base of yours. I particularly like the knee area.. sounds crazy, but that whole section looks really defined.
So, I've been screwing around here and there when I find time. Not much really but I figured I'd show.

I'm actually pretty happy with the color. But, I'll try giving it some more pop to see if I like it that.
some simple highlights would give it a kick, without taking over. the same could be said for the yellow. fantastic work on the bandages
I thought the colors were fine I'd add some shadow around the cuff of things like the belt and boots though.

I think that's what I was thinking, that or maybe just kick up the contrast a little.
The colour's not bad, I just tend to prefer brighter/vivider colours.
The bandages look nice.
It's shaping up real well. I really like the way the bandages came out.

Nice, it has a really good defined look.

haha.....I can't promise it, but maybe I can persuade Ren with cookies! om nom nom
Very cool Mursy...nice to see you skinning again. OK...so a lot of folks around here know this...I am a complete and total "nutball" when it comes to Captain America...he is without a doubt my favorite superhero so I'm always super excited to see more Cap skins. The work on the shield is really fantastic...and the scale work is really awesome but I'd "straighten off" the areas where the scale ends like you did around the neck. The mask seems darker than it should be though...in fact I'd "intensify" the blue all over Cap. I'm also not to sure about the studs on the belt though...it doesn't look right...oh and the ears need to be "out" and not under the mask. ;) Can't wait to download this bad boy Murs! :thumbup:
Love the details and the shield Murs! :kommandorox
This is mostly just personal preference...but I
really dislike the feathered scalemail. It looks terrible on Cap in the comics as it does here. All I can think of is "Fred Flintstone" Captain America. And I have to agree with Cas on the belt and covered ears...neither look right on him.

I'm on the opposite side of the fence here. It always irritates me to see Cap's round shield damaged in anyway. To me the colours are part of the shields make up...and there are 3 constants in the Marvel Universe...Hulk is the strongest one there is, Captain America's shield is indestructible, and Wolverines claws can cut through anything (except Cap's shield :P).
Fantastic work on Cap, Murs.. love the detail work especially the worn look of the shield (now the shield is indestructible but I doubt that the paint/coloring on it would last forever and need touch up work now and then).

Hey wanna do both a "tarnished" and "untarnished" version? I have to agree with what Court says about the sheild...but I do like that look as well...when its done right. ;)

This was my exact train of thought when skinning the shield.
Cas, you nutball! I could include an alternate .tga of the shield for those that prefer it with a shiny new paint job.
I can't say I love one style of his chain-mail over the other. But since there wasn't a scale-mail version skinned, I decided to go that route. The blue of the costume I'll play with. I wanted the mail to be a different hue/brightness of blue than the rest of the costume.
The other choices were all personal preference. I think we all know my feelings on costume accuracy by now. Skinners can skin the characters the way they interpret them. Such as an artist would when drawing them.
Thanks for the comments and input guys. They are noted. ^_^
I actually like the scalemail as well. I especially love Dave "devilpig" Johnson's take on it with the deep dark blue and the seams and piping.
Spoiler
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n172/blkcasanova247/captaina_24-1.jpg)
Ya, I like that. I found this drawing he did too.
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2285/capf.jpg)
I myself dont care too much for the scaled look on Cap, but thats kinda like a personal preference more than anything else.
As for the shield, eh, it doesnt look damaged in any way, but it does look dirty. Being the hardest thing on earth dont stop it from getting all dusty, you know.
Murs, I really dig this skin, and in particular.. I am loving the shield. It's a great effect. You did a really good job with the tunic part of his costume, too.
The only thing this skin seems to be missing are the pouches on his belt. As for a merely aesthetic suggestion, maybe you could consider cutting off the tunic with a straight-lined seam, instead of the serrated one?
I'm with the group who's not a fan of scale male but that said I think when an artist like Johnson or Cassaday do it they can make it look good and what you've done is on that level. I think though if your doing that costume he needs some pouches like LP said.
Much better then when you sent it to me before murs. Great work, man.
As for the chain mail... I think the skinwork on it is done well. Even better when you look at the skin in full 3d :P

I was waiting for that one! It looks great, honestly I can't see anything I'd change right now. And your base really is great. Murs you've developed into a great skinner.
I'm reading through the second Cap Omnibus, and I haven't got to the part where Bucky puts on the costume, but I have to say that Brubaker has done a great job with that title.
Your work as always is amazing. I'm glad your in the skinning zone earlier than the summer.

That's a really nice depiction of that version of the costume. Murs, you've got an excellent Cap skin there, and I for one rather like the scale mail for some reason. Still, I'd agree with Cas that the mask and the chest are too different in shade of blue. I think deepening the chest a bit might be the answer, or maybe lighten the cowl. Great work lately, man!
That's a great skin murs! :cool:

Haha...no. But I did wonder why I used my time skinning it when I'd rather have skinned another version of the same character.
Fantastic version of BuckyCap's costume, Murs... :thumbup:
However I'm sure another version of BuckyCap's costume will come somewhere during the first arc of the post-Reign Avengers because he picked the mostly black uniform to represent the mourning he felt from Roger's death. Kinda seems silly to keep wearing that version of the uniform after Steve has returned to life much less fighting a Red Skull robot in public view. My guess is that once Steve Rogers starts rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. (and who doesn't see that coming) he gives Bucky the opportunity to update the costume for a more modern spin on the character.
- CQ
Well I hope so. As much as I love Bucky as Cap, I still think Marvel could have designed something much better.
Yeah- I still have hope that at some point a character asks Bucky why he has the flag of Puerto Rico on his costume...

Bucky's mother was Puerto Rican.
I didn't know that. If they put that in a story it would be a great way to address the costume. It would give a reason for Ross redesign that would seem character related instead of just a Ross movie costume pitch. I wonder why Brubaker hasn't used that.
I think the upper blue parts of his costume needs more shine. Needs to be more glossy? :P

Sweet. I was hoping you would revisit skinning Winter Soldier, and using your new base :)
NICE! :thumbup: I even like the stubble. ;)
That skope I sent Murs had both hairstyles so I guessing he's going to do both. Excellent Winter Soldier.

C'mon, Murs; I've been resisting doing Bat-Pool, Super-Pool, Aqua-Pool, The Martian Poolhunter, Plastic Pool, Doc Deadpool: The Man of Bratwurst...
Okay, I did start a Deadpool on Male Hunter for a pulp Pool.
Who cares what they do. I mean, they haven't written comics for me in decades, but I still love my favorites. They can retconn and "update" and adulterate and Zero Hour and screw over those characters as much as they want, they can't erase my memories (mother nature will do that for me). I'll just re-read the "good" stuff.
Solid point Daglob. Maybe I just haven't gotten over Wade's treatment.

I know what you mean, Daglob. Great characters are always great.
I'm with Murs' original statement. I haven't enjoyed DP since Way took over. He's so over saturated that I avoid him now.
Ok, I agree that the main DP title pretty much sucks, but Merc With A Mouth is solid gold!!
Ladies and gentlemen there is a disease that runs rampant in the skinning world. That disease warps the busty region of every female model available. But no longer! For I, murs of 47, have found the cure! (heart me....RIGHT NAO!)

The skin itself is nothing to write home about but look at that star...it's perfect! (heart me moar)
I'll post the process in the PS-CS4 thread I started in General.
Oh, and I skinned Union Jack and Red Guardian in a customized version of his latest look from the recent Winter Guard one shot.

I will admit he had a couple good issues. I mean that literally, only 2 good issues in one year. I dropped it after that because 2 out of 12 is not good...not even in baseball.
Those are awesome! I'm really loving the Red Guardian.
Super work Murs, and I'm not just saying that cuz' it's true.
Those are pretty nice Murs. That's a neat look for Red Guardian.
Awesome stuff, Murs. Nice to see some Darkstar love.. (take that, Prev!)
I love how you created the seams between red and black on Red Guardian's skin.. very nice and polished.
Thanks guys :)

That's not what I said. I said LP is going to love that you did Russian heroes, but you did the wrong team! GAH! *drama*
I already told'ya what I thought about the skins, but I shall reiterate that I love the Union Jack skin. Tis my favorite.
They all look great...but that Union Jack is just fantastic! :cool:
seriously, the crispness of the lines and colours are amazing.
hmm, it's interesting how both the lines and colours can be "srisp" in my mind, but that means different things.
The vocabulary to effectively describe how awesome the skins are escapes me. Well done, good sir!
That Red Guardian is just cool. The whole thing just jumps out at you. Much more interesting than a regular old totally red suit. Im going to be using him.
Wow Murs those rock, and i?m really digging your skin base.
Please moar :P.
Yeah detourne! It's totally "srisp"!
That means, uhh... super crisp, right?
Oh man, I'm sooo hilarious. But, seriously folks, holy cow. You're highlighting! Everything looks so finely sculpted! Red Guardian looks to be chiseled out of stone.
I'm so glad I don't skin anymore, so that I don't have to get shown up all the time.
Thanks guys ^_^
Moar? you got it. Just a short haired Bucky for Pod and a very simple Falcon. I'm not too pleased with that skin but I honestly don't know what to do.

What part are you not pleased about it? :mellow:
Want it to be more cartoony like AA's? Hmmm.. C6 uses more saturated colors in his skins to make them pop. Area34 is pretty good with increasing contrast to give metals that shiny look. While others have used blue highlights/shading for the white parts in some costumes. :mellow:
That Falcon is fantastic!
These are really amazing the hair on the Falcon looks real and faces have a lot of character. Great detail. :rickbm
Nice job. I prefer the short hair Bucky, the long hair just didn't feel right to me.
Nice Falcon. Way way back I wanted to do a Falcon skin, but never got around to it. Falcon is my favorite character in Cap. Funny thing is back when I was first getting into comics I didn't like Falcon, he seemed really lame.

Wow, this is some amazing work Murs.
What do you think is missing from Falcon? I think it looks pretty damn good.. love the face work on it.
Sometimes, if I feel like a skin doesn't look 'finished', I'll add pants and shirt seams on the sides of the mesh's body... it feels more complete to me, somehow. Other times, it can be overkill.
Stonewall from Secret Warriors in his normal, stone, and metal forms. For those that don't read the title, this is The Absorbing Man's son. He's supposed to have bands on the top of the sleeves but it didn't look right just skinned on so I took them off.

That might work, I'll give it a try.
Murs you've gotten too good. These look great. Skoping a belt might help.
I really like that stone texture you gave him. How'd you make that?
I don't know the character, but the skin is impressive. great details in the costume and the texture of the stone version is just perfect.
You skinned my favorite Secret Warrior! I am really loving the material forms.
I want to know how to do that stone finish, too!
Stonewall looks really good, Murs. Were you thinking of doing other forms, like fire or wood?

Quote from: laughing paradox on April 06, 2010, 01:05:07 PM

It's actually pretty simple. Grab a concrete or rock texture image. You can find a bunch by Google-ing.
I used the hue/saturation palette to turn the flesh area of the skin into that greyish-brown color. Paste the texture file over your skin.
Now this is where my memory gets iffy. I can't remember exactly what I set the layer style to, but I'm positive it's Multiply or one the setting that's grouped with Overlay if not Overlay itself. Set the Layer Opacity between 25% - 60%. You'll have to experiment a bit with those two settings. I'd recommended figuring out the layer style before dealing with the opacity.

So far these are the only forms that he's displayed. But I will do more if he shows more. I hope he doesn't do a fire form, I don't think I could pull that one off. :ph34r:

i'm nearly tempted to re-install FF just for that union jack, amazing work
I randomly felt like skinning Nova
(http://i43.tinypic.com/nqcsxv.jpg)
Niiiiiiiice. That's some quality skinning right there.
Im diggin that skin.
Isnt there some mesh that has some kinda FX thing to it to make the electrical arcs between the circles like in the comics?
Well that's quite nice.
Stunning details in the costume. The contrast between the metallic gold and the leather like blue is great!
I literally said "Oooooh" when I saw it. Fantastic job.
I don't know much about that character, but that is a really fantastic skin, Murs!

You know, I only really give a crap about this character since I read Annihilation. Annihilus, too. before that...eh, who cares, you know?

The face is great too!
Nice job Murs. The costume is really well done.
Nice. ^_^
So good.
Nice work on the fabrics. Ha, another character I don't know. :)
That hair always gives me problems but I couldn't find anything close to his hairstyle for his skope. I think if you move it down some and alpha the top of his head (so it doesn't clip) it will look fine.
Any chance you might do the new Cap costume? I would be more than happy to twenty two ska doo a skope of it for you. :D

Glad to hear you're planning to do Steve's new costume.

Cool, thanks. ^_^
I don't see what the problem is. Other than "the not being left handed problem" that the Winter Soldier skope had also he seems fine to me. I stuck c6's superpatriot skin on it since the oufits design is similar and I'm not seeing distortions in the chest.
When the stripes transition into the shoulder is when things get nutty. I'm contemplating going with a slimer build because the stripes and star are the focal point of the design.
Here's my shot at Steve. I don't really like my skope...at all. If Area has time to skope a better one I'll adapt the skin to his. This is the first skin I've ever saved a back up for and used numerous layers so it should make it an easy transition. I took out the red stripe running along the legs. I just didn't like that design decision.
(http://i43.tinypic.com/5k0s9x.jpg)
Looks pretty good Murs. Honestly I'm not sure how much more could be done with skope, unless you don't like this body.
Did you cut out the chain mail from the design? I think you should add it, I think it worked well with the design.
Great face, Murs! very expressive.
I like the colors too.

Colonel 47...you know I love your work....I just can't get past how much I DESPISE this new uniform. :angry: K...That said...the face is great. I maybe deepen the blue, make the hair a little more "golden" and put the stupid deep red stripe on there...it kinda does tie this poorly designed costume together. AAARRGHH!

Once I figure out the chain mail thing I'll fiddle with the blue again. But the red stripe...yuck! I changed the hair color, how's that?
Pretty good. I might try a little smaller chain mail but otherwise it looks good, I like it better this way. The hair colour change is good too.
I might go with a darker blue, hard to say. The Djurdjevic design (http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?disp=img&pid=1271438425) looks darker - and I think his is the best pic of it, but the Pacheco version (http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?disp=img&pid=1271438409) is a lighter blue. Deodato seems to be using the darker blue as well. And I'd put the red strip back in myself, the design looks incomplete without it.
Wow, this is the first time I've seen the new designs for Steve Rogers and hot dof i think they're really cool.
You can really see the '40s inspiration in the gloves/belts and boots. Like he is a soldier from WW2, like a frog man or airborne.
Then the standard superhero spandex kind of meshes with it to create the modern day warrior/agent like Sam Fisher.
I think you've done an outstanding job Murs. I kind of like the red stripe because it is reminiscient of '40s stylings, but I understand why you took it out.
I think a darker blue would be cool. and the chain mail... hmm, maybe take a look at some of TUE's recent skins with his hexagonal imprint.
I'm looking forward to release that's for sure!
It's movin in the right direction. The chain works....but a little smaller like Pod says. Maybe do a version with the "dumb" red stripe and one without. ;)
I really like the design, actually, and the face and hair look perfect. I agree about the chainmail.. and put the red stripe in!
Are you thinking about doing the new line-up of the Avengers?
I like the middle one most.
(http://i42.tinypic.com/258v155.jpg)
As for the red stripe, it just looks thrown on rather than designed to give it that "Captain America" feel. *vomits* Excuse me.
I'll make two versions I guess. :P
Quote from: laughing paradox on April 22, 2010, 02:46:00 PM

I'm undecided. Nova was just a coincidence and Steve I really wanted to do but the others not so much.
I like the middle or last one (actually I can't tell the difference). Good job Murs.
Steve sure looks like he can kick some butt now. your interpretations just keep looking better and better murs!
in the comics, will steve be the new head of shield? what's going to happen to fury?
I think the skin(s) look great and adding the chainmail was definitely the way to go. I do have a problem with the mesh itself, though. The head seems a bit too big, although in heroic renders, this is common. The main thing is the neck thickness. It seems really disproportionate. For all his development, Steve should look like a Nebraska linebacker, but it seems a bit too much. Actually, it could be that the shoulders are too narrow for the the muscularity of the mesh. (I have a degree in Kinesiology, so forgive me if I'm nitpicking)

I feel the exact same way about the build, the neck/trap area in particular (he must love doing shrugs).
#1 looks the best!
I like 2.
Personally, I like number 3. But I say just release them all as a multipack (random skins). Also, do you still have the versions without the chainmail? I really liked how well the costume blended together.
I'm diggin' #2 out of the group. The chainmail looks more pronounced without being overbearing.
I probably should stated that they are all the same picture/skin. Sorry about that, I just assigned different color profiles to them.
1 - Does not have a color profile
2 - Also doesn't have a color profile but is converted to sRGB
3 - Is my monitor's profile
4 - my monitor's profile but then converted to sRGB
Do any of these look purple? All four look exactly the same to me on my screen, are there glaring differences between any and all?
At least in the monitor that I am currently using, the skins are all blue, just different shades and tones.
1 and 2 are a little darker, though 2 has a brighter blue and is less shadowy (more contrast?). 3 and 4 are definitely lighter, with 4 looking almost faded. 3 looks like a brighter version of 1, as the blue is less vibrant than in 2. Besides the costume, you can really see the difference in the faces (1 and 2 are much richer).
I downloaded each picture, so I could put them side by side, and when I went to do this in Photoshop, they were all identical. I didn't even think about color profiles. Interesting.

Thanks, that helps a lot. 1, which is no color profile, is what I skin in. If I switch to 2, my blues turn to purples in photoshop making it difficult to skin in.

Sorry I have been busy at work and hadn't been online this week.-
I can look at the skope but like LP says it looks fine. Any problems your having might just be because he's built out of Bucky Cap so if you want a new skope it would be a whole new skope, that isn't a big problem but I would stick with it the way it is.
I think you should just have the non-chainmail version in the skin pack. Until the costume shows up in the comics there's no telling how many artist are going to draw it or just leave it as a spandex.

It all depends if I like the series. Valkyrie is a character I'm really unfamiliar with, so I don't care for her at the moment. War Machine would require some serious time, and I don't like him enough to dedicate said time. Moon Knight is a possibility regardless of the quality of the book. I've been wanting to skin him for a while, I just can't find a mesh for him. Beast...ditto War Machine. I like Eric O'Grady. I don't like the classic Ant-Man costume though. So in short, it all depends on how much I like the book.

*edit* Hmm, its a shae about how the thumbs get distorted by the mesh tho.
Whoa... that is incredible! You should so do a spiderman unlimited! It would look sooooooo sweet in your style!
Very very nice, Murs.
Awesome work there Murs! :thumbup:
THAT is excellent!
Good work.

Heh, thanks Ghazkul. It's a skope of ink's batman_v2. I just alpha enabled the cape and replaced the body with tomato's full mask mesh...I couldn't think of anything else. As for villains, I don't remember any. I was a young lad when this series came around.

Thanks guys :)
Great colors, impressive details. The highlights and shadows are just perfect too.
Murs, that's skin is so good. Great job on it.
Sweetness!
I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with a simple skope. I put the collar from Ren's ww2 ultimate cap mesh and the buckle from Ren's wolverine_blue mesh on Ren's Superman mesh. They look fine in the idle animations get whacky in animations. Any help with the problems would be much appreciated.
I'll give it a whack...once I get home. ;)

Yeah, I'm not really sure which version I'm doing. It'll probably be compilation of different elements from each issue of the mini.
LUV THAT ONE!

Part one of three in my Superman: Red Son skin set. IMO, this is the best Superman story ever told.
Thanks to Cas for pulling off a pretty cool skope which we'll see more of with the next 2 skins.
Never read that story but that a very nice looking skin.
It's not a bad series. It's before Millar became the over the top Micheal Bay of comics.
Since your doing some DC characters, any chance of you completing your skope of John Stewart?

I don't think I've ever done or started a John Stewart skope. Maybe I'm having a memory lapse. Refresh my memory?
Honestly, after seeing what you did with your avatar's shield, I think you should make some Lanterns.
After you did the Kyle pack that had all the constructs in his animations you said you had a John Stewart that was similar but you were on a skinning break.

Ohhhh, Cas' skope of Stewie. That thing is sweet!
I'm not sure how much skinning I'll be doing after my Red Son set. Things for my video tutorials, of course. But, I've been wanting to try new avenues of art. So, I can send the skope your way if you want. Let me know.
I cannot say what's better, the face or the highlights on the costume. OK, both are great!
Impressive work.

Agreed.
I'll skin it if you don't want to (hate to not release a skope that good) but I'm hoping you'll do it. I have a Hal, Guy, and Kyle all by Murs but no Stewart. It just doesn't seem right. Maybe you could use the extras on that skin for your video tutorials?
great work as usual mate but i feel like it's missing something, where you trying to go for the same colour style as the book, the highlights just seem kinda flat.
I would also maybe tweak the eyes make them not so wide. the costume texture is great particularity the shorts and the logo is nicely done

If I skinned him I'd feel the need to re-skinning the other 3 again. I'll send the skope your way later.

The costume does evolve during the series, so it is missing something in a sense. I can't say I was going for precise colors. I wanted the main part of the costume to be a grey-blue and I didn't add any highlights because I wanted it to resemble cloth a little. The blacks I did want looking more like latex/leather. I was worried the eyes were too close in but I'll give it a second look. Thanks UE.
Lookin' good there young man...lookin' damn good. The only things I'll say...if I had the skill...I'd tone down the musculature a little and change the gray (a little "warmer") in the suit...it's a little blue I think...and change the boots to match the suit. But it's your interpretation my man and it's pretty sick as is so what do I know. :P :thumbup: I can't wait to see the next two. And I believe you're getting some residual memories from me...you being my clone and all :P....Superman: Red Son is my favorite Kal El story ever. For one glaring reason...Dave "Devil Pig" Johnson! :thumbup: Great story but Dave's work :shock2:.....'nuff said! ;)
No if only someone could get the rest of the characters done......Red Son Bizarro would be great using the Martian Manhunter body.

Maybe one day I'll do everyone from Red Son. Bizarro, would be the first I'd tackle too.
I warmed up the gray and I like it a lot more. After I do some other minor adjustments I'll post pics of part 2. I didn't like the boots being the same color as the gray, that was odd. So I went black. I'll try toning down the muscles and maybe adding some creases and folds into the third skin since he's supposed to be older.
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2rcbzo4.jpg)
Part 2 of 3.
Very cool my man. :thumbup: The gray looks a lot better as well. Maybe try out the collar black with the red outline? Or not this looks bad2$$!

Well, he is awesome. His covers for Punishermax and Unknown Soldier have been nothing short of amazing. Take your time with Bats, that'll give me time to work on some other projects.

The final skin for my Superman: Red Son pack.
WOW...DUDE...FANTASTIC face work and great skin! :thumbup: Without question...this is your best work! ;)
The face work is insane...just an awesome skin in itself, wow!
I think I like the last design best. Very good face evolution.
I have to echo the sentiment on the face.. it's really good. Best design of the three, too.
Poor Supes, with no Diana to hopelessly pine over him.. for shame, Murs. For shame! :)
Thanks guys. This version is also my favorite.
LP, he'll have Bizarro to rumble with...someday.
Just as an aside: I downloaded the Steve Rogers skins, and those are truly amazing -- the detail work on the pistol was stunning, and you definitely showed that Rogers was a little older than some in the facework. Awesome job.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Every time I think the meshing/skinning/skoping community has reached its apex, you guys find a way to do even more, even better. Simply amazing.
Those are great Murs! Really nice work on their collars, and, of course, those faces are amazing!
Superman red son scares the crap out of me - Nice skin :blink:
As always that's some fooshing fantastic work mr. murs, never read Red Son, but I can see alot of love went into these, beautiful details and incredible line work. and the colours are great too. And I'm loving the video tutorials, always nice to see how others work. Hope to see more skins and tuts soon!
Hi Murs, I don't mean to pester, but will you be releasing the Captain America skin you previewed a while back? His shield was awesome, and I loved the scalemail.

:thumbup: Especially on the Black Panther on the right.
Thanks for posting the Captain America skin. It was just a matter of time before I made a request myself. (Thanks, Amazo :lol:) I look forward to getting my hands on your Black Panthers. They both look great. I can't decide which one I like better, but it's nice to be able to choose old school or updated. You can't go wrong with either of these skins. Thanks again.

I just create the logo in illustrator then transfer it over to my skin file in ps.
I would love to see some sort of Illustrator tutorial. I've been able to teach myself Photoshop, but I have found Illustrator to be a whole other ball of wax. My brother is a graphic artist and is able to create masterful things in Illustrator and I've always wanted to make use of it.
Murs, is one able to skin with Illustrator? There's nothing like the sharpness of a vector graphic and I know that Photoshop has extended it's ability to work with vector graphics (though, it's somewhat limited). Would it automatically rasterize when opened in Photoshop and saved as a .tga? I know that there is an option to rasterize shapes and text in Photoshop, allowing you to manipulate them, so it must be able to handle vector graphics somehow.
I probably should have PM'd you this question and I apologize if I took the thread off track.
Quote from: hoss20 on June 15, 2010, 06:55:59 PM
Murs, is one able to skin with Illustrator?
It's very possible. But it would require exporting to photoshop eventually. I don't think illustrator has .tga or .dds as a file format option.
The best definition of Illustrator I've seen is that it was a graphics program designed by computer engineers, and Photoshop was what they came up with after the graphic artists complained ;).
The vector graphics in Photoshop seem pretty decent, although I'm pretty sure they do get rasterized somewhere in the saving process, at least wehn it is all merged into a single layer. I've never examined the exported color separations to see if the vector shapes are rasterized on them. I need to do that someday.
Having spent a couple of years using CorelDraw, however, I find that it is easier to do painterly work in Photoshop (or Corel Photopaint), but I can whip up a vector shape or a path in no time flat whenever I need to.
What I'm saying is, you can probably do skins in Illustrator, and I would almost bet that you can find a plug-in that will let you export in any format you want. I find Photoshop easier to use than Illustrator (so much so that I haven't re-installed Illustrator on my new comptuer. Yet.), but that is just me.
I've been messing with GIMP.
"vector graphics"; "rasterized" >>>>>waaaayyy over my head.

I forgot about him. I think he's on my other computer...still unfinished too. I'll be sure to finish him up when I'm over my burn-out.
Murs, dude! I just watched two of tuties and they are great (we skin completely different).
Update to Bizarro: Red Son. He and my Black Panther skins are now available @ Champions of Freedom. (http://ffcenter.net/champions/)
(http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2883/biz.jpg)
Very nice Murs. That's some really impressive face work. The detail of the "cracks" and such is really cool.
I agree with Benton and I really liked the colors, the light/shadows contrast is stunning!
It's always a pleasure to see the depth that you give your creations. They end up looking less like game skins, and more like cared for characters.

The cloth work and the hair are really impressive, Murs.
Pfft... silly Murs, you left off the skirt. How can Previsionary prove his manliness without a skirt?
In all seriousness though, good job on it. I look forward to seeing what you do with the others...

MY FIRST AVATAR

designed by Juancho
meshed + skoped by Thomas C. Ato
skinned by murs47
I made some changes so it was a little less Deadpool-y.
I like the design a lot but it feels like it could using a little color. What about green?
I'll say what I said yesterday... I think you should have the green in the main and then the black "stealth mode" standard as an alternate.
I hate it because it's you. I mean look at the nicely highlighted body, real looking jacket, and expressive face - they're terrible. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I like it, it's great to see your av finally!
I can understand why some people would say it needs colour, but personally I really like as is. Of course, I have no idea how you'd implement the colour so I could be wrong :P
Great work as always though!
your usual great standard, but i agree more colour even just detailing in red or green
Great skin.. but why would a ninja want color in their gear? I like it just the way it is.
dunno guys...i like the all black look. his character looks stealthy. cant hide well with bright colors. go with it.
As awesome as this is, I'm of the mindset that variety is the way to go. You said that you had tried both red and green, any chance that you still have those? I'd love to see how they look.
My lowly opinion is that it could use some color. Its an awesome skin as far as appearance goes, but without color, the design seems rather boring. However, I don't know what color to add or where... I'm color blind, that's my excuse! :P

No, I don't have them anymore. I'm probably the laziest skinner when it comes to file handling. I dont save back up files, use multiple layers, or use the snapshot feature. I just revert the file to it's original state if I don't like what I see and start again. Bad habit, I know. Anyways, tried a couple other things and didn't like them. Or, I didn't like them more than the black and silver. Perhaps an unmasked variant some time down the road? Does this please the masses? No?
*Decapitates Tomato*
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!
Drop an adjustment layer over the skin, or play with the sliders on the Hue/Saturation/Lightness menu.
I like the black look. However maybe try a midnight blue instead for it to stand out? Try using a light color background to preview it. He looks pretty cool. This does beg the question...What happen to the other Murs1 thru 46?

Dr. Prevanoff was a famous scientist hired by a secret Russian government agency to make an elite team of extraordinary soldiers. He called this team the Mercenary Unit of Radioactive Soldiers or MURS for short. Dr. Prevanoff intended to use these soldiers to invade America and wreck havok and devastation. What he did not know was, the CIA had already implanted a spy known only as JJ working as his lab assistant named "Stefan" for years now. Upon completing his 47th unit (his latest and greatest creation yet), Dr. Prevanoff believed he was ready to begin his assault on America. JJ on the otherhand had other plans. He was able to sneak in a failsafe program/solution which he called the "laughing paradox" syndrome in Dr. Prevanoff's latest and greatest creation which was MURS47. When the team was all set to go, JJ activated the LP syndrome at the very last minute causing MURS47 to go crazy and break free from Dr. Prevanoff's control. Eventually, MURS47 was able to defeat and destroy the weaker MURS. Dr. Prevanoff was pouting with anger. "What did you do? Stefan!!! " JJ just smiled and said. "He's what you can call my Manic Undercover Rogue Soldier # 47, Dr. Prevanoff."
MURS47's powers is still very much a mystery. It is believed he has some healing powers due to the nature of having radioactive energies inside him. Being radioactive, some people have claimed he can cast this green glow which people can see in the dark. And sometimes, just sometimes, when he is feeling crazy enough, his eyes radiate the green radioactive energy residing within him. :)
Haha! I like it! Dr. Prevanoff...tee-hee.
My word! I remember a time when I was associated with respectable people like Beyonder or Syn... heck, even UE was OK, but I will NOT stand for being remotely connected to the trash known as Murs. Good heavens, no. Stop that, Outcast. Stop that and apologize for this bad display of behavior.
Murs is Casanova's clone or something. I don't know how that works. I didn't ask. One of the Murs is a rapper. The other is Emma. One lived in Canada for awhile. Several were killed in the Murs War in chat shack. That's all you need to know.
i have it on good authority that murs is agent x.
want another twinky? or chimichanga?

Hehe. Sorry Prev. It's just my weak attempt at some fun fiction. Don't worry about it. It's all in an alternate reality or universe of mine. But it could explain this love/hate relationship between father and son err i mean creator and test subject. :P
Introducing UE and Blkcassonova in the story could be interesting. Hmmm... :rolleyes: And who is this Emma? :blink:

awesome avatars skins :thumbup:
Just some updates to previous skins:
Superman(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7292/supermanbio.jpg)
QuoteThe coming of Darkseid was something the Kryptonians arrogantly thought they could defy. Darkseid had conquered, controlled, and enslaved 37% of the known universe according to Kryptonian intelligence. No society, culture, or species had ever stopped his brutal expansion. But the Kryptonians thought they stood a chance with their superior technology.
Kryptonian citizens Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van did not show the same confidence as the rest of their species. Paranoia and fear had overcome their senses. Prior to Darkseid and his armada's arrival, the couple shot their son, Kal-El, off into space within a small ship. The hope of their son living a peaceful life was their final thought before being incinerated by orbital strikes. The coming of Darkseid had cost the Kryptonians dearly. Most were killed, few escaped, and the rest were enslaved.
78 hours after Kal-El's departure from Krypton, his space capsule crash landed on Earth, within the Kansas region of the United States. A couple from Smallville witnessed the event and took it upon themselves to inspect the crash site out of curiosity. What they found was an infant. The Kents had never been able to conceive a child. This child from the sky was a gift they humbly accepted and raised as their own. The newest Kent was named Clark.
Morals instilled by the Kents and the manifestation of his abilities inclined an adolescent Clark to help those in need. The media dubbed him Superboy for his unbelievable accomplishments. A Metropolis reporter, Lois Lane, called him Superman years later. A name that has stuck since. Though he gets a small satisfaction from the attention and praise, he'd much rather be tending to his farm with his wife Lana Lang, and his two children, Connor and Kara.
------------------------------------------------------
The Flash(http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6536/flashbio.jpg)
QuoteThe general perception of the next stage of evolution in humans, commonly labeled as "Meta-Human (or Metas)", has always been surrounded by trepidation. However, with the Meta-Human population growing, so does the fear. Governments around the world began to legislate and pass new laws to control a potential threat Metas represent. Many countries simply mandate registration, while others institute networks of labor camps for its Meta-Human populace.
Councilman Wally West of Keystone City's Public Safety Department had always kept his inherent abilities a secret. He was fearful of how his goals of becoming a high ranking public servant could be curtailed if his secret were ever exposed publicly. With the reality of a potential future where his children could be hunted for being different, Wally decided to take a more hands-on approach to public safety in the hopes of putting a more positive spin on Metas.
With his initial plan in place, Wally gained strong support from the locals by stopping robberies, muggings, drug trafficking, and inner-city gang fights, yet was mostly ignored nationwide and internationally. The world was going to hell no matter what he did or tried. Still, for the sake of his children, Wally pressed on. He finally gained the trust of America and other parts of the world when he evacuated occupants of the 2nd tower to safety preceding its destruction on 9/11.
------------------------------------------------------
Aquaman(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7762/aquamanbio.jpg)
QuoteDuring the Cold War, SIS initiated a defense program to protect the U.K. in the event of a Russian invasion. One of the top priorities was a defense system in the surrounding waters of England. The threat of Russian sub-marines needed to be addressed. With British Naval subs being no match for the Russian's deep sea vehicle, SIS contracts London based S.T.A.R. Labs to engineer an aquatic defense weapon.
One of STAR Lab's proposals was a biological weapon that could go undetected by Russian subs. After numerous tests and final approval from the SIS oversight committee, Project: Aquaman had commenced.
Sgt. Arthur Curry of the Special Air Service(SAS) was hand selected for the project. His love for his country made it a non-decision to participate in the project. Undergoing the project, Curry's body was genetically modified with a shark's DNA.
Gaining the strength and swim speed of a shark, Curry had become the world's top aquatic weapon. Achieving speeds of 74 kilometers an hour, he was twice as fast as any submarine. His small size made him invisible to radar, and disregarded as a dolphin by sonar. His ability to survive underwater had the SIS tasking him with Black Ops missions world wide. Aerial to ocean insertions 100 miles away from mission objectives gave him the element of surprise. Curry carries a 100% mission success rate to this day and is the U.K.'s top operative.
------------------------------------------------------
That's it for now.
Posted the contest for Ultimate Wonder Woman here. (http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=53613.msg725633#msg725633)
The skins and bios are wonderful. Great stuff, Murs!
Those are nice updates Murs. I like the Aquaman design, it's a cool look.
Thanks guys. Here's one more updated skin.
------------------------------------------------
The Bronze Tiger(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3910/bronzetigerbio.png)
QuoteBen Turner was born in the warring streets of St. Johannesburg, South Africa. At age 8 he watched helplessly as a his mother was brutally robbed and stabbed to death on their way home from the food market. With overwhelming violence surrounding him as he grew, young Ben Turner began to build a resentment towards humanity. With that, he slowly started to become a product of his environment. Reckless, violent, and defiant at school, he was expelled at age 14.
He joined the local gang as a dealer to help his father with the bills. By 19 he had become the gang's leading enforcer with a body count longer then a phone book listing. Fellow gang members dubbed him The Tiger because of his viciousness and physical prowess.
In a coup of the South African drug ring, The Tiger takes control by snapping the neck of St. Johannesburg's kingpin. None stepped up to retaliate. Fear had overcome those who saw the event, and to those who had heard of it. South Africa belonged to The Tiger.
His actions snag the notice of criminal emperor, Ra's Al Ghul. Appreciating Turner's rise to power at a young age, Ra's views him as a potential protege and offers The Tiger a spot in his empire. Years of training and missions have many believing he is the best hand to hand combatant in the world. Not even the Batman has bested him in sparring sessions.
Always top rate stuff from you Murs. I really like the intensity eminating from The Flash.
Captain Marvel(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1253/marvelbio.png)
QuoteRa's Al Ghul, while helming Waynetech as Bruce Wayne's legal guardian, begins his first and only attempt to reproduce Superman using the latest in technology and stem cell research. Ra's pays top dollars to corrupt bureaucrats for a tissue sample of Superman. He also sends out agents to kidnap females that would never be noticed or documented as missing. One of these women is Elizabeth Batson, a Fawcett City heroin addict.
Prior to having their embryos genetically altered and inseminated, they are put through detox and screened for STD's. Some die from their bodies being unable to function without drugs. Others are killed for being unacceptable due to disease. Elizabeth and an illegally imported Khandaq prostitute named Sanura are the only ones who test positive for pregnancy. The other women are disposed of.
With months of having their every need catered to, the two women grow worried of what will become of them and their unborn babies. During the next few weeks the two plan an escape and execute it shortly after. Both escape unharmed and go on their separate ways.
With complications in labor, Elizabeth Batson dies from blood loss. Her last words were: "Billy." The name of her childhood dog, and the fondest memory of her unfortunate life.
Growing up an orphan at St. Raphael's Church he learns of faith in God and that acts of selflessness are the greatest deed one can provide to mankind. Something he would not forget as his powers manifested.
Wow! That is a wonderful origin and skin! Fantastic work Murs!
Cool design, a little on the plain side, but works in a modern way.
Seriously, you've outdone yourself on this one...pure awesome!
Really great design, and truly interesting story. Not to mention that, "imported Khandaq prostitute named Sanura" can mean possible Ultimate Black Adam :) Looking forward for more ('cough, cough' Ultimate Alan Scott 'cough, cough').
Thanks guys :)

It's more of an easter egg for those that actually read these snippets. I don't have any plans to do Black Adam. But, at least the opportunity to do so is there. As for Alan, no plans either. Maybe one day.
The Atom(http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/7536/atombio.png)
QuoteRay Palmer was a childhood genius and continued to progress his intelligence at an unprecedented rate through school. When he gradutated from MIT at the age of 19 with a degree in molecular science he was immediately offered a research and development position at Lockheed-Martin. The idea of having all his ideas fully funded was an opportunity he could not turn away and accepted the job. As the years passed he grew un-enthusiastic with every one of his ideas becoming weaponized, instead of used to progress the human species. Eventually he was let go by Lockheed-Martin due to poor performance.
Soon after, Palmer began campaigning for private investors to start up a company whose only goal was to create an alternative, free, and self-sustaining energy resource. The idea was so farfetch'd that no one was interested except billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Justice Society, Peter Cross.
While working with the Justice Society, Palmer invented a device that could rearrange the atoms of any object. He could turn bullets into raisins and dust into water. Inspired by the public figures of the Justice Society, Palmer fitted the stationary device into an entire suit and dubbed himself The Atom.
I really like this design, but something about it looks off. I'm thinking the boots need to be a little higher up. Something's off and I keep thinking the design is bottom heavy, I think.
Do you think removing the boots altogether would be a good idea?
I'm really not sure.
Quote from: Podmark on September 09, 2010, 06:24:55 AM
I'm really not sure.
*slap*
Be useful!
Hmmm...hopefully someone else will chime in.
Could go either way...I think making the boots taller would be the first thing to try though.
I'm sorry but I completely disagree about the Atom. He is currently my favorite of your Ultimate DC design and I'm jealous that I didn't design this myself. It's sleek, modern, and not over designed. The funny thing is I could easily see Ray Palmer wearing something like this.
Mursy...this one is PERFECT! :thumbup: Don't touch it. Great job bud.
I'm personally satisfied with him so I guess I'll just leave him for now. I'm trying to pump out as many skins before the new Halo comes out (this coming Tuesday) so I'll just move on.
Thanks for the input guys, it helps a lot.

I definitely see what you mean Pod and agree with you. And even though I'm satisfied with the current state, I can definitely do something to improve that area you pointed out. I just feel like I'm on a roll and don't want to back track. But I will be revisiting him along with a few others and using the feedback I've gotten to improve them.

Oh I know that feeling, I did it all through the X-Force skins.
If you do revisit him, I would simply just raise the boots up some like Pod mentioned. Otherwise, amazing. :)
These are all great designs murs, I'm really enjoying this project unfold.
I haven't missed out on Ultimate Blue Beetle yet, have I?
Quote from: Cyber BurnI haven't missed out on Ultimate Blue Beetle yet, have I?
Not yet, and thanks.
I'm very impressed with your creativity, Murs. The costumes are very different and each character has an unique look. Great work!
Batman(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6723/batmanbio.png)
QuoteAfter catching word of Thomas and Martha Wayne's deaths, Ra's Al-Ghul capitalized on the situation. Al Ghul sent his top assassins to kill Bruce Wayne's legal guardian(Alfred Pennyworth) only to adopt Bruce as his own.
While nurturing Bruce's anger and instructing him in combat, Ra's uses the Wayne fortune and Waynetech to expand his criminal empire. As the years pass Bruce establishes himself as the world's greatest assassin and the heir apparent to Ra's criminal empire.
Topping the list of the Mossad's, CIA's, British Intelligence, and FBI's most wanted lists, Batman is considered the most dangerous criminal in the world. Not even the Justice League has had success in apprehending him despite their numerous encounters.
Big thanks to Cas for the skope and Bevo for creating the custom sword which you can see more of below:

Wow, Murs.. these latest DC characters are pretty phenomenal. I love how Atom came out (I have to agree about the boots!) and this Batman looks crazy good.
He's not all good looks...just wait till you see him in action. ;)

My favorite of your series.

Wasn't intentional but cool, I really like the Batman Beyond look and had planned on skinning it prior to starting this project back up. So I guess I don't have to anymore. :P
I tried the higher boots and found it to be too...typical I suppose. I personally prefer the bootless but I'm not opposed to the short boots. Both are fine. I'll leave it to a majority decision.
(http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7176/atombootless.png) (http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/7536/atombio.png)
I prefer the bootless version.
I like the little red boots.
I'm anti-boots, here. They seem a little too petit.
I'd say no boots. They're a bit too "peter pan". Plus without them it makes it look like the costume was formed around him as a second skin, which considering his atomic re-arrangement powers would probably be what he wears
No boots here, just because I think it looks better without them. The boots unbalance the design, somewhat.
No reason why you cant just release both of t. The real Atom has dozens of little design changes in his costume. But, for what its worth, I like it without the red boots.
I thought removing the boots would make the red across the chest and arms seem out of place...I stand corrected. Bootless looks good.
So bootless it is. Thanks guys.
Quote from: Scorpion13mk2 on September 12, 2010, 07:38:51 PM

File size. I'm trying my best to keep them the smallest possible. I can include an image file of the boots and a person could open up the .tga and just paste it in there..we'll see.
With DC merging the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents into the DCU I decided to throw a few of them into the Ultimate DC project. First one is NoMan, I based my design off of JG Jones concept of him. It was too cool to go unused. If you're unfamiliar with NoMan, click here (http://www.comicvine.com/noman/29-46474/).
NoMan(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1152/nomanbio.png)
QuoteAnthony Dunn was one of the CIA's longest tenured and most successful field agents. Enthusiastic about his career, Dunn delayed his retirement until he was physically unable to perform it.
In contract with the CIA, LexCorp was looking for volunteers to partake in Project: NoMan. Project: NoMan was a durable android body with cloaking technology and advanced side-arm weaponry but required a human brain to operate. The CIA wanted an experienced 'operator' and provided LexCorp a handful of possible test subjects. All but Dunn declined participation. Anthony Dunn would now serve the CIA until his synthetic body was destroyed. Field designate: NoMan.
Orange and black is an odd combo, especially with the blue face, but I like it. I almost get a Vision vibe from him.
I really like the way his jacket layers over his chest, as well as the wristband sleeves (or however you'd describe them). The face is also perfect for an android being. Great work once again.
NNOOO!!!! Boots all the way! Release em both and appease everyone. ;)

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Nah...it balances out the look of the charater IMO. Without the boots it looks sorta incomplete. But I understand why you might think so. Hows about adding the boot "details" on the blue...following the design of the character as a whole.

Is in the first page of this post.
Ooooh, that one. I don't think I ever released it. It's on my previous computer, which is stored away.
Orange and black isn't odd. It's Halloween.
Anyhow, that looks great. The orange seems a bit washed out, but it's probably my monitor. But the details and wrinkles and whatnot? Wowie. Plus, I've always loved NoMan.
THUNDER Agents in the DCU, eh? Interestin' stuff.
I agree, the shading on the rest of the model is quite striking, but the orange seems a little less dense. They almost look a little glow-in-the-dark.
But as a combo, orange and black is fine. I feel as though the orange should be distributed around a bit more.
Orange and black were the original colors for the character's costume. Of course, they don't really matter if the character is invisible...

It probably isn't your monitor; I desaturated the orange three times in increments of -20. It's still the focal point, of course, but it was too much so at higher saturation levels.

Agreed. I had some sort of orange stripe going down from the shoulders to the elbow but removed it because it wasn't working for me. Hopefully I'll find another solution to bringing some of that orange to the top.

I like your redesign of NoMan.. worthy of being the official updated look. Are you thinking of doing Dynamo?
I really like the style of your latest skins Murs, everything just looks so 'tight'. Not sure how else to describe it, but it's very pleasing to the eye.
Hawk & Dove(http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3750/dovebio.png)(http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5097/hawkbio.png)
QuoteDolph and Hahns Hüller were twins born as Meta Human gene positive in Munich, Germany. During their teenage years, Hahns' physical size, strength, speed, and agility increased to levels beyond peak human conditions and continued to improve over time. Dolph, however, found that his mind was capable of moving objects without breaking a sweat, he could read thoughts, and influence their ability to make decisions. Hahns' athleticism led him to a life of fame and fortune playing for Bayern Munich, Germany's most popular football club. Dolph pursued a career as an artist and attended Akademie Bildenden Kuenste Muenchen.
After the devastation of Freidberg, Freudenstadt, Stuttgart, Baden, and their surrounding regions at the hands of Mongul, German Prime Minister Albrecht Krieger legislated extreme anti-Meta Human laws. All citizens are administered blood tests. Any testing positive for the Meta Human gene are immediately detained and transported to undisclosed facilities. Fearful for their and their parents' well being, Dolph and Hahns flee as well.
Their abilities made escaping easier, but the atrocities committed against those caught were too grim for the brothers to ignore. Donning costumes to protect their identities, the two went from fugitives to renegades as they took the offensive, or to protect those that couldn't protect themselves. Their guerrilla style heroics became international stories that caught the attention of many, including Ted Kord, future heir of Kord Industries and current vigilante, Blue Beetle. Inspired by the brothers' selflessness, Kord uses his resources to find homes for displaced German refugees. Eventually, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold joined the brothers in Germany to help directly.
Freakin'...WOW
That chest logo sections on both characters are phenomenal. I like the differing textures throughout. Really cool designs.
Great skins. The logos are.. perfect.
Those are excellent skins and costume designs.
I'm growing to hate you more and more (in the most complimentary way possible).
you have developed such caratheristic style, very modern and attractive!
when i go on champions and see that winter soldier i hate the fact i can't use that mesh cause i have :ff:
only, please can you convert your meshes to be used even in :ff:??? pliiiiiiiiiizzzzz???
Ok, when you announced that the Ultimate DC section was closing temporarily for renovation, I though "cool, a little update never hurt anything." Now, you're just bein' mean...showing off these great skins and a 2011 reopen date for the UDC. XP ...and again I say XP
I really love Hawk and Dove's designs.
Cool designs Murs, I love the colours and the logo.
...WOW! I was literally about to do some sample designs for them, just to see what i could do...these are incredible!
Great skin, nice designs, and an outstanding logo sir Murs.

Ok, when you announced that the Ultimate DC section was closing temporarily for renovation, I though "cool, a little update never hurt anything." Now, you're just bein' mean...showing off these great skins and a 2011 reopen date for the UDC. XP ...and again I say XP
2011 was a loose target I knew I could hit. The site is actually done. Thanks to Pod I was able to add the finishing touch earlier this week. I'd just like to have a bit more in terms of content before re-opening.

Prev helped me a lot with this one. I should also mention that I'm trying to diversify where possible. I know, I know...Hawk and Dove are still Caucasian, but at least it's a different kind of Caucasian.
I'm thinking about making Booster Gold Mexican and changing his name to Miguel Cortez, what do you guys think? No? K.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I heart you!
Great news about the site! I'll be waiting...and waiting...and waiting :P
Seriously though...have you considered doing an Ultimate DC Mod...with your skins/meshes and back stories, that would rock hardcore
I've been curious to see how Hawk and Dove would turn out in the 'Ultimate' style ever since you mentioned them the other night. They're freakin' awesome. The layering on the chest and the logos..wow. I didn't know you were holding off until 2011 to release all of these. Seems like such a long wait, but it should be here soon enough. :)
The site will probably be up in a month or so. I just put 2011 so I didn't feel rushed. I'm looking at 3 to 5 more skins, plus making changes to the ones I've shown, before doing so.

Spectacular Green Arrow...just wow! I can't stop staring at your strap work and highlights.......wow!
Ooooo Purdy!
Hey thanks guys ^_^
Amazing.
Brilliant! :thumbup:
Nice job Mursy! :thumbup:
Merlyn

Great stuff Murs I love the use of texture and lighting for the uniform.
Another awesome skin, Murs. I really like the inner mesh.
Ah, Murs.. love your costume work.. spectacular stuff. Cool, sleek design, too.
Dynamo
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3165/dynamobio.png)
The face and the lightning bolt are great. I like that the uniform has an overall bulky and padded look. You really 'feel' it.
Great, simply great design... Not only You created skin of my favorite T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agent, but also "modernized" him better, than the guys from DC on the recent revival of the title. Only thing missing is a backstory... I do love to read Your takes on the classic characters. Now I'm waiting for Menthor and Lighting ;)
As always sorry for my grammar.
I'm a stickler for the original designs, but, yeah, this is particularly good. Just looking at it you know it's Dynamo (Len Brown, just a little bit older, too, from the looks of it). Noman and Menthor had less than dynamic costumes (I mean, c'mon, Menthor had The Atom's costume instead of something original), and could do with a make-over.
really, it's just stunning how great that looks, Like FF said, you really 'feel' that the costume is protective yet functional and appropriate for a superpowered being.
brilliant work as per usual ;)
Very very nice skin Murs.
Alrighty folks, got some good news. The new UDCU site is up and running. Check it here (http://frp.unlimited2.net/UltimateDC/udcu.html).

Awesome sauce. Can't wait to see what you've got in store... you should be able to get some serious use out of what I've given you.
It's great to see you skinning again Murs. :thumbup:
Murs,
Great designs. I really like them! The design for Dynamo is awesome!
Respectfully,
Absolutely love the design and skin for Dynamo :thumbup:
This is your best one from Ultimate DCU...fantastic work Murs! :thumbup:
i cant wait to see how the JSA turns out. :thumbup:
The site is top-notch. Nice!
I skinned this...but I'm not sure If I'd like to replace it with my Ultimate Superman design or just release it as a custom design. The skin uses the Kingdom Come "S" symbol...I've always loved that.
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6416/ultsupes2.jpg)
I'd say release as a custom,I think the one you already did has a more "ultimate" feel.
Either way,both are fantastic designs and skins :thumbup:
Very nice Murs. I'd release it as a separate skin.
:)
Love the new Superman skin. Any word on the Iron Fist and John Stewart skins or are they on the backburner while you complete these awesome Ultimate DC skins?
My opinion, is that could be considered an Ultimate Earth (insert Number here) superman, ultimate kingdom come(which would be a whole other beast to get into, your version of Kingdom Come) or, and i think this fits kinda well, it could be superman post kingdom come. :) It still incorperates his new logo, but keeps some of his classic style.
Nice one bro. Personally...THIS should be your "Ultimate" Superman. The other lacked the "iconic" feel...and this design brings it right back. Two things I might suggest is the pattern around the "S" symbol...maybe put more of it on him somewhere else like the inner forearm and around the wrist and the inner calf. Second thing...change the boots...I think the "classic" boot style doesn't quite do it for this ultra modern design. ;) Just my two cents.
Captain Marvel(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6837/marvels.png)

Iron Fist is done, I just need to upload him. Area34 mentioned he was going to do John Stewart.
I think I'll make some small additions to my Superman and release it on CoF. I'll keep Ultimate Superman as is.
Love this Cap! Great unique face with a fantastic costume design :)
really love your skins murs. the base skin itself is just amazing, and really makes the skins (imho). will there be any chance of you releaseing it (or a varient thereof)?
It's a pretty cool design, liking your style.
I loooooove the texture/seam work in your latest skins. I'm super jealous at how awesome they look. Great design for CM, too.
just out of curiousity, how do you get the lined pattern in the chest area? thanks.
Quote from: Amazo Version 2.2 on December 16, 2010, 04:55:52 PM

Just create 4-6 diagnol lines of equal distance apart. (Make the lines a thickness of 1 or 2 pixels.)
Make a square selection anywhere within your lines and go to Edit > Define Pattern. Select your Paint Bucket tool and switch Foreground to Pattern and select your new pattern from the list.

Black Lightning
(http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1210/blacklightningbio.png)
A collab between LP and I. LP came up with the initial design which I fell in love with for it's simplicity. I made some minor alterations to fit the UDCU identity, then skinned it. Many thanks to LP for the help.
Cool design. I like it.
Awesome design and skin guys,great job! :thumbup:
See, I keep seeing these fantastic skins from you, none of which are the ones we discussed. Fix yourself Murs.
also: Poit.
I like how they remind me of what RL superheroes would wear. Can we get the profile shot on him? I see the leg design and would like to see all the details you've added.
Oh quick suggestion, why not make the lightning bolt area between the yellow black? I think it would add a new dimension to the costume and would drive home the "black lightning" moniker a little more.
Oh as always phenomenal work murs, ol' boy.
Nice work as always Murs, refreshing to see a different use of the lightning insignia e.g. Horisontal instead of vertical or diagonal. It gives an individual look.
Love the texture and trim detail on the costume which you have made your trademark.
Murs, I'm glad you used the design. This came out really great! I'd love to see the profile, too.. the tweaks you did to it are great. (Love the color palette and the short sleeves and gloves.)
But, where's the goatee? That was a deal breaker. ;) (kidding)

Not a bad idea. I prefer the all blue but I'll make it a 2 pack for those that prefer some black in there. This actually would only take me 2 seconds because I saved a back-up .psd with layers for this skin. I'm finally learning. ^_^

I recently upgraded my video card and nifskope no longer works. So I can no longer export meshes to do the 3D trick. In fact, it's one of the main reasons UDCU has fallen behind. I can no longer skope anything.
The black in the chest area really makes it snap. A 2 pack would be awesome.
Here it is with more black in the costume.

I'm always impressed with your designs, Murs...You make it look so easy (but we know otherwise, I can't do a new costume for a classic hero for the life of me). Black Lightning is great, congrats to you and LP!
Hi murs,
I love your ultimate DC designs. I really like your black lightning. I believe black lightning and dynamo are my favorites so far!
Look forward to more.
Respectfully,
I really like all the touches of black on this latest version. I wonder how the reversal of colors would work with the costume.

I'm a big fan of variations on costumes (random skins), so I would love to see that too.
Ahh, that version with the black lightning bolt (which is pure genius on several clever levels :P) looks great. That little touch adds a lot more to the design.
I'm not really interested in this upcoming "event" but I like Cap's design for it...figured I'd skin it.
(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/5571/capaox.jpg)
Cool skin Murs.
I'm actually quite looking forward to Age Of X, could be fun and the designs are kinda cool. I might even skin some of them if I get the chance.
Love the shield! Another top notch skin Murs.
Great Captain! Personally I'm looking forward to reading AOX. Nightmare (Pixie) looks cool as heck!

I will not be releasing those...they are all ugly.
But, I have things planned.
A certain Flashpoint version of a popular DC character. Perhaps some more Marvel Legacy. Maybe an Ultimate DC skin or two.
Popular DC character? Hmmm..
Those aren't ugly, Murs! Is that first one Ripclaw? To be honest, I don't remember that skin and it looks pretty awesome.
I really hope Moon Knight is on your short list of things to do, or else you're gonna be on my short list of things to bruise! *shakes fist vigorously and/or menacingly*

Thanks! Dude ,Ohh...well glad i could be of service bro! In fact perhaps its great that it helped you maybe to a good extent. Don`t mind This Guys but Don`t you think this community lacks in some particular spark in some specific unknown field as well as happiness and a little bit of excitement . Cause it should n`t be all about work , work and some more work but rather with a blend of enjoyment and play as well would totally ease up the tension in the process not only making it fun for us but even greater fun for you guys the skinners,the meshers, the skopers and several other guys of similar fields.
Its neither a comment nor even a demand and neither any sort of suggestion but rather its an idea. So Chillax , take some beer or soda whatever you prefer, and just sip away so you could easily lighten you up for a minute or two and watch the Avengers Season 2 or Young Justice Episodes or Transformers Prime so on so forth and maybe order a pizza and then you know what to do. And that pretty fun for all and all for Fun. Woww! that was a nice advice but actually turned out to be a big lecture. And Oops really very sorry for posting this in your Skins Thread Murs . Hope it help and affect you and many others in a good way. :)

Catman
(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5985/ultcatman.jpg)
Colonel Thomas Blake, a meta-human with a regenerative healing factor, was the commanding officer of a US Army Special Forces unit, code named: Secret Six. Assigned the most improbable missions in the middle east, Blake's unit never failed. An expert hand to hand combatant, strategist, and field leader, Blake was heavily recruited by the CIA to lead the Suicide Squad. Blake had heard rumors of the league's existence but was unaware of how much they had infiltrated the UN and facets of the US Government and all of its agencies. His deep commitment to his country was all he needed to volunteer for the Six. Due to the need for discretion, all Suicide Squad members are given a codename. Blake's designate was now Catman.
Yes, he is an intentional reflection of Wolverine.
sweet! he looks visciuos.
That is one snazzy skin! Wolverine and Catman aren't a bad match either.
Wow, some really amazing work here recently Murs. I LOVE the face on that Ultimate Catman. That's really great facework. I like the reflection of his symbol in his scar, or perhaps, vice-versa. I do have one critique though, but you should take it with the heaping helping of salt that my lack of artistic talent implies. I think, given the rich, dark color of his pants and gloves, the yellow of his shirt is a bit too bright. Making it a bit more golden and darker would make for a better balance, methinks. Then again, what do I know? :P

wishes he was doing me, but I've spurned him so he's stuck with Prev. TUE has a man crush on me because I occasionally facilitate his little he-man fetish, so I make him do dren I don't wanna do (like skinning standard skins for meshes). DJ's only involvement in the situation is to constantly get drunk and yell at everyone before passing out.

You know that Prev enjoys getting deep tissue massages from Michael Douglas. And that Tomato is UE's secret admirer. And That Young Justice threatens the glory of JLU...though you'll never admit it. See, you know many things.
1) To my everlasting horror, I do know that. 2) I'll take your word for it. 3) Maybe if it grows up one day.

:O! Murs! What I do in my private time is nobody's business. Just like what you do on the streets is nobody's business except those who happen to pay you. *exits: stage left*
Who Tomato pays is his own business, after all, we don't want DJ to get jealous now, do we?
Ok, seriously, why is this so hard for you people to keep straight?
Murs wishes he was doing me, but I've spurned him so he's stuck with Prev. TUE has a man crush on me because I occasionally facilitate his little he-man fetish, so I make him do dren I don't wanna do (like skinning standard skins for meshes). DJ's only involvement in the situation is to constantly get drunk and yell at everyone before passing out.
For once I agree with 'Mato...I do nothing but get drunk and yell at folk!!!

I didn't like the red eyes or the white gloves so I made my own changes to the design. And oh ya! Self stabbing action! Woot!
Brilliant Murs, just brilliant.
Now finish up the rest so I can pit my X-Force vs yours in the Danger Room.
Beautiful skin Murs.

They all look great!Gotta say though that Deathlok is just plain awesome!Sweet skin Murs! :cool:
The facial work alone is just outstanding.
I didn't realize before that Deathlok is a mix between a Terminator and a zombie Miss Piggy.
Great skin.. you really worked it out. Love the metallic arms.
Wait, it's YOUR birthday and we get a present? I like the way you work Murs. I like the skin too.
Wish Deathlok appeared more in the Uncanny X-Force, he's been missing for a while.
Umm...hey Murs , Freaking God ! that Deathlok gives me the creeps in a good way it looks like as if in a few moments he might just walk out of that picture or perhaps it might be too damn real and too damn awesome! :thumbup:
Bring on Pyslocke , Archangel or perhaps Fantomex next in your Uncanny X - force line up. Right ??? Mursy my man. :huh:
As the others have already mentioned, the face work and metallic effects look really great. :waterwizard

Fantomex
(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1825/fantomex.jpg)
:blink:
I knew you would do an awesome job on Fantomex.....but damn!That is cool!
I was looking forward to this and you did not disappoint.
Fantomex is the standout character in Uncanny X-Force. He makes the book for me.
Eh, it's ok. The white is kind of flat and bland in general, but the mask in particular has no real texture to it. Red on the buckle is overly bright, so that it doesn't seem to be beveled in the way the reds of deathlok's symbols are. Now, the blacks are up to your usual standard, but the contrast of shading is almost glaring next to the blah white sections of the costume.
I'm sorry Murs, but I just don't think this skin was any good. It's a real shame too, because all your other X-force work here has been great.
Fantomex is a rough character due to his very dull design. He dresses all in white.. and yeah. Even Moon Knight is better designed.
With that said, I think you did a very cool job with this guy. I personally don't like the black lightning on the legs. I don't mind the chest design going up to the mask, that's kind of cool.
I like the skin and I like how it's a little off-white. There's a reason you're one of the best skinners in this community, amigo.

Dearest Murs,
I told you my opinion already, but I agree with what LP said. Fantomex's costume isn't visually appealing in general, so I don't think there's much you can do about that without redesigning it. I know you didn't want to do the L. bolts in the first place, but I think they came out alright minus the area we spoke about earlier. Overall, I think you did a good job, and the skin is perfectly adequate. Definitely not your best, but that's not really a fault of yours. Do work, son!
Alright! It's Storm Shadow! Awesome! :thumbup:.....
Just kidding Murs :P, i think he looks cool enough to me. :)
I don't know if I care for the actual design, but great execution Murs. My only nitpick is the belt buckle, it seems a bit off-center to me, but I'm not familiar with Fantomex, so if that was intentional as part of the design, just ignore me.

Hey, don't get mad at me because I called you out on your laziness. Maybe if you put the same effort into it you did the other skins, I wouldn't be critiquing you.
I don't get all this Fantomex hate. I really like Ol' Unca' Custer. Definitely one of the standouts of uncanny x-force, and this skin too is a definite standout in my books.
What kind of keyframes has he got?
The only quibble I have about the skin, Murs, is his eyes look a bit like he's surprised to see you. Not overly important due to the fact that in-game you won't even see his face..but that's all.

Psylocke

Many thanks to Thomas C. Ato for letting me use his base. *sprays ketchup everywhere* Whoot! Get some!
Hmmm,
Not feeling the face much. I feel like she should look younger, and the vibe I get from your current version is more "little, old Asian lady." (Oh, hey... someone should skin Dragon Lady!) It's very "soft," and Psylocke usually has stronger, more defined features in many of her appearances. And looking at the sash, I'm really starting to think it just doesn't photograph well. But, like Fantomex, her costume is boring, so there's not much there to attract your eye visually.
I love the costume, but the face is a little.... off, doesn't remind me of any artists work or of the character in general. Your X-Force work is AAMMMAAZZIINNGG! Makes me wish that Agent VENOM was in X-Force now.
that is sweet :thumbup:

I somewhat agree. That little "old lady Asian" feel actually comes from the width of the head part of the mesh. Also, I referenced a Japanese super model and not any versions of Psylocke. I can try a different hair piece that'll cover both sides of the head to make it look more narrow or perhaps tomato can edit this and make the head more narrow. I dont really feel like re-skinning a character I dont care about so that's about the only options I'm willing to go with. Sorry Prevy-Prev.
Murs, don't you blame me for your (many) problems. The mesh is itself fine, just look at my Detourne skin for the same base mesh. It's not the meshes' fault you don't skin female characters enough to know what you're doing with face skins.
And speaking of problems, you should probably adjust the levels on the black sections, the highlights are almost blurry right now.
I think the face issue is all about the eyebrows and lips. Arch those eyebrows and make her lips a bit fuller and poutier. Right now she looks a bit like Bruce Lee.
With that said, I can not skin faces AT ALL, so please don't be offended by my critique. You are an incredible skinner and I love your work!
I'm so glad Psylocke got a different costume. If only it would propagate to the other books.

It kinda reminds me of the one from Exiles (obviously not in the purple/bluish color scheme) that was stripped from her almost immediately. I also don't think that costume was well received (though it wasn't hated either).

I can't stop laughing at 'she looks like Bruce Lee'.
That is hilarious. She does look a little drag queenish, now that it's been mentioned. Boylocke is what I'll call her. ^_^

I think the face is beautiful. Not many people realize this but Betsy is easily Beast's age and here she looks no older than 33 - which seems appropriate giving Kwannon was likely younger than Betsy at the time of the switch. I am incredibly sadden that we were given British Betsy for a few issues and again her true self be taken away but this skin makes it a little better.

Necroposting, I know, but any chance you'll be releasing this version of Cap?
Psylocke's face looks ok to me. She looks Asian though. Last time i checked, i think she was related to Captain Britain. So...not sure if that has recently changed.... :unsure:
She was, but then she was killed and her soul was put into the body of a hot asian chick... or something.
AA, the problem I have (and I'd venture to guess it's the problem others in here are expressing) isn't that the face is "old" or whatever, it's that it's just not very much like Psylocke. Murs admits to patterning it after an Asian model rather then the actual character, and it shows through to the final result: It looks like a skin of a model, not a kick butt Asian character.

This version of Cap, Ultimate Hulk, Wonder Man(which I havent shown yet), and X-Force are in the hands of another skinner. This skinner is about to launch their new skin site and they will include them in their "Guest" page along with another creator's work. From what I'm told, the site should be done in June. So expect them then.

"As a guest"? is a dead give away to which site that would be. :cool:
Would someone send me a PM when it happens? My getting on here is chancy at best.
Folks, you can now get X-Force, Ultimate Hulk, and AoX Captain America and a bunch of awesome stuff by LP ad Hoss at LP's new site where I'm featured as a guest. Force of Paradox (http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/)

Great skins! Thanks for the release!!
I'm releasing my base skin to you, the people. Do whatever you want with it. Make babies with it. Touch yourself the first time you open it. In fact, you can't use it unless you do.
You can also kitbash all my skins and there's no need to give me credit. Say you made them from scratch. Say you spent hours on them. Say it's a culmination of your blood, sweat, tears, and fecal matter. Say it. I don't care. If someone harasses you about it just tell them to run in traffic...or play with matches at a gas station.

If anyone wants to host these, knock yourself out. Again, the community can do whatever it wants with it. Ditto my skins.
Oh Murs. :wub:
Murs, that's very generous, though also very creepy. :lol:
Murs I was good looking at your psds and I just want to say you are a fantastic artist! Thanks for all the skins you've done.

Hey Murs. Are these in a Photoshop format? I can't seem to open them with either Paint Shop Pro (Admittedly, my copy is really old) or Paint Dot Net. Thank you Murs.

Yeah, .PSD is for photoshop only, I'm afraid. I'm not sure if there are any third party programs that are free that could open the .PSD files.
My version of PSP can read it just fine, so I've resaved it in PSP's native image format for Cyber. Anyone else who wants it as a *.pspimage can PM me for it.
Thanks for releasing your base skin Murs. Hoping to be able to use it someday. Not to make babies of course, but if you have a female base skin, who knows. :wacko:
Awesome!! Thanks Murs.
Wow Murs, I finally found a Plug-in for Paint.Net that allowed me to open your Base Skin, and it is just AWESOME, I really love the Colossus base. Thank you again for sharing this.
Colossus base?? Where??
When you open up the Base Skin, look at the Layers, you will notice that there are 20+ Layers to the Base Skin. The Colossus Base is second from the bottom.
These bases are AWESOME! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Is there a chance that you might release a female base as well? Thank you for all your effort,simply amazing skins Murs :D
Also I just did a Green Lantern version of my Avatar using your base and WOW! :blink:
Should have a preview on my thread in a couple hours when I get home,Thank you again for your amazing base :cool:
Cyber - I don't know how to do that. I went to the Layers menu and clicked "show all" but nothing happened. I can't see the other 19, nor can I find a way to toggle/advance to them.

Conversation taken to PM so as to not threadjack Murs' Skins Thread.
Impressive work with the base, Murs. It got me itching to get back to skinning.
It's been a while. A long while. Figured I'd wipe the dust off something Windblown and I collaborated on for Marvel Legacy. Well, 1/5th of it at least. The other 4/5ths was just chit-chat...names and ideas.
Introducing: Kanika Farouk, aka Marvel Girl // Illegitimate child of the Shadow King(Amahl Farouk).
I don't have CTool installed to create some preview pics but here is a zip file (http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=44675375147513264988&t=4467537514751326498828301) of the skin and skope.
Windblown blew my mind with this skope. His magic happens on certain animations. Don't recall which ones though. Cheers all!

Thanks all! I'm actually curious what it looks like now too. Maybe I'll give CTool on the Mac a shot sometime today.
While I was hunting this down I realized everything I've ever made is gone. I thought I backed it all up too. Guess not. (I had to find this skin/skope in emails between Windblown and I.)
I'm pretty sure that we could help you get the majority of your work back.
Between me and CB, anyway. And perhaps with a little help from The Wayback Machine...
I have a lot of your stuff :thumbup:
See?
Thank you all! But, it's not too big of an issue. I think most of everything I've made can still be found on FoP. It was the unfinished/unreleased stuff that's now gone forever. Ah well. If I can't remember exactly what it was, does it really matter?
You guys are fantastic for being so willing to help! I think I've forgotten how swell this place is. *insert blush emoji*
Benton, it's 2019, why aren't we using the latest and greatest in emoji technology with the forums? The current stock isn't enough to convey the complexity of my emotional state.

Make mine Marvel, BG. :thumbup:
Hey, I might wear you out one of these days...or just intrigue you with the awesomeness of my projects! :lol:
Man, that stinks, Murs! I'm sorry you lost the unfinished stuff. The guys are right, though, we can find anything that you DID put out. I hope you can get CTool working on your Mac!
Haha, sorry man. :oops:
Great to see you back in creating stuff for FF your stuff is always amazing! Soooo you like 40k stuff I guess why not try your skills on that? I try to update my 40k stuff while I gain access to my tablet and files again, i have a chaos marine half baked so just send a pm with mail if you want, you could use them as a base or for pieces, I think there aren't any major bugs since I have not received any bad report from the other testers...

I have been...very, very slowly since last summer. I'm currently building/painting an Alpha Legion army. When those new CSM models dropped a few months back I completely dropped the Space Marines I was working on. I love 'em!
*ears perk up*
What's that? Somebody mention something about 40k?

Two somebodies!
What armies are you two running? (I'm fairly new so some things may fly right over my head.)
Man, if I had the money, I'd totally be running Tyranids and Necrons.
Been playing some tabletop on Tabletop Simulator and I love my 'Nids.
I'm super new to the tabletop game (long time love of Warhammer though) so my army probably isn't too great.
My army is 500 pts and I've got:
Hive Fleet Hydra
1x Broodlord
25x Termagants with Spike Rifles
12x Hormagants
12x Hormagants (another unit to split up for flanking)
1x Lictor (to get rid of blasted snipers)
1x [Distraction] Carnifex
Cyber Burn did me a real nice Necron Soldier scope that I really need to finish and release...

And I really need to add some more Skopes to that as well.
Can't wait to see your alpha legion murs! i have started a black legion chaos marine some months ago, now have to wait a temporal window to finish it, warhammer 40k offer certainly a very fascinating universe, wich basically rotate around this fascist pseudo religious "empire of men" , while the tabletop game could like or not, the design of the units and miniatures is extremely fitting for this kind of game, nowadays like in the 90s is still very appreciated, so basically a marriage between :ff: and warhammer40k with a mod could bring many new players and also fit perfectly cause are two oldies but goodies..well all that i can do now is try to built material when i have the opportunity.

It definitely sounds like you know what you're doing. The Carnifex model is so frickin sweet! You honestly have a lot going on for 500 points. How cheap is a Carnifex? And what's this Tabletop Simulator thing?
I'm currently making sure I have a Battalion Attachment for the extra 5 CPs. Other than that,
rule of cool all the way.
My 500 point roster:QuoteHQ
1. Chaos Lord w/ jump pack [Alpha Legion Chainsword Relic + Power Fist]
2. Exalted Champion [Power Axe + Chainsword]
TROOPS
3. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Power Fist / Rest: Chainswords + Bolt Pistols]
4. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Power Sword / Special: Plasma / Rest: Boltguns]
5. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Combi-Bolter / Heavy: Autocannon / Rest: Boltguns]
FAST ATTACK
6. Raptors [Champ: Lightning Claws x2 / Rest: Chainswords + Bolt Pistols]
I probably should go ranged instead of melee due to the Alpha Legion trait, but melee is so much cooler! Less than half are painted as well so I won't be finding out how this roster works for a while.

Oddly enough, one of my models has a decapitated Necron head on its base.

I will definitely show them off when I finish them. I think painting these things is my new form of skinning. It was a tough choice for me between Black Legion, Alpha Legion, and Night Lords. BL has the coolest relics and strategems for sure.
The Imperium is so ridiculously xenophobic and stagnant, if not down right regressive. It reminds me of the Crusades...except with technology 40,000 years from our own future. So ridiculous.
I can definitely see a Kill Team mod for :ffvstr: . In fact, that sounds like a perfect match.

lI wish I knew what I was doing, haha
If by how expensive it is you mean points-wise, it's 106pts. Money-wise, I don't know. This is all in Tabletop Simulator
Tyranids are a very swarmy faction. Their basic troops (the Gants) are super cheap and very numerous (which makes them expensive to buy because you have to get a lot of them, lol).
Tabletop Simulator is a game on Steam that lets you play any boardgame out there (well, not EVERY boardgame, but a lot of them). There are tons of easy-to-install mods (literally one click and you're good to go) and with Warhammer 40k being so popular, there are tons of mods that include many of the most recent models. It's super helpful being able to build and test armies in there before looking to see how much it would all cost.
It's also a lot easier to find people to play with on there. And you can make the army of your dreams without having to actually buy a million models. Downside is that you can't paint them which is half the fun, lol.

Chaos is one of my faves, aestheticly. I remember when I first saw them in Dawn of War when I was little and was like "THAT IS SO FREAKIN COOOOOL!!" Rule of Cool for Life :P
And dude, melee is so much fun! That's why I'm going Nids just so I can swarm people and melee them to death. Sucks fighting Eldar, Imperial Guard, and Tau, though. They just blast away everything that I have, lol. My very first game was against an Eldar player and she destroyed all of my troops before I even got to her lines. It was great!
She also didn't tell me about CP or what detachments are, lol
Is there a Khorne build that you can go for? If you want to smash some heads with your power axes, Khorne's your guy.
