Hi everyone,
I am trying to make the move from long time lurker (I have been around a long time.... :() to part time contributor.
With that in mind, I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone might have on these characters:
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
I know that Judo Girl was requested in the Obscure Heroes forum quite a while back. All these look pretty good.
If you ae looking for a place to host these skins, I might know of one... ;)
Sweet. Somebody else did the old Daredevil.
These are some nice first skins. I love the use of googleplex's base on a lot of stuff. That is googleplex's right?
But, yeah, nice work. Hope to see more from you.
These looks great!
I'd like to see more. Definitely.
Dude, you've got to release those gems.
I'm just starting to get into Project Superpowers, so it'd be great to see these released.
hi everyone,
thank you for the kind words. yes that is googleplex's costume base. i really like the base and i currently have no talent for how to make costumes. i used his muscular base for samson but utilized c6 bases for the skin tone portions of the other characters.
respectfully,
Dude, these are great! :thumbup:
Love the scarab and the flame.
Cap is that you, returned from the dead?

Oops, sorry ---- close but wrong universe.
Also, Black Terror joins the fight for freedom from the pages of Project Superhero -
Freedom Fans, let me know what you think!
Respectfully,
They look great. Would love to d/l them.
These are really good, great detail on Americommando's belt.
Excellent job on these. I 'd like to get these too. Put me on the list.
Black Terror and Samson are my favorites.
I had always though Americommando was red and blue. You have him orange..or at least that is what I am seeing. Is he orange and blue?
Heyyyyyyyy!!! It's Judo Girl!!! Cool!!! Very nice work on all those skins there! I'll definitely agree on the releasing request!
The Crusaders turn the heat up on the Axis as Fireball and Sparky join the fight (I had to photoshop the flames on as when I tried to capture a picture from the ctool the flames would not stand out visible :()
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
Hi Avalon,
I am working from the one and only reference picture I could find of the group. It has Americommando in an orange and blue uniform and Fireball/Sparky in pink and orange with pink and orange flames. Go figure, but I believe they look neat anyway.
Also, as soon as I actually figure out how to release some of these I will. I have never set up a yahoo group before.
Respectfully,
The ranks of the Crusaders swell as Barracuda joins the team! The sea is no longer the domain of Axis subs!!
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
Okay Axis! The Crusaders are finally complete as Rusty joins the team!!
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
You have some really nice work here, SCD. Great skoping and some fantastic soft colours, Judo gorl and Americommando would have to be my favourites. I can't wait to get all these guys n' gals into the RR!
Hi everyone,
Back again with another character.
This time, "When my lantern shines upon a grave, those who lie beneath can arise and walk--One Final Time--to seek Justice against those who have wronged them!"
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
I could not find a lantern in the same style as the character.....so I had to get a little creative....I think it turned out alright..... :)
any luck getting a site were you can release your skins?chomping at the bit for your dynamite skins/hexes.
Very nice, whats the source of that character?
Have you considered Googlepages as a host for your files? its free, easy to use and has a fair bit of space. Best of all, no advertising!
That's the Green Lantern from the "tangent" universe. I think that was what it was called, anyhow. It was basically just a bunch of stories about characters who happened to share the same names with mainstream DC folks, as far as I know. I read some things with the Joker (a female vigilante) that were alright, but that's it.
Hi everyone,
Unkoman is right. That is the DC Tangent Universe Green Lantern. I always liked the Tangent characters. They have been revived after 52 and are featured in the new Superman's Reign. I plan to make all of them and have started scopes. The skirt is not quite right for the GL but it will do for now.
As far as releasing these characters, I do not really know how to do that....any advice/direction someone could give would be most appreciated.
Respectfully,
You could put them in a yahoo group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/
It's extremely easy to use.
Hi everyone,
Joining the DCU portion of my skinning attempts are the Terrific Trio - 2-D Man, Freon and Magma!
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
Very cool. Having just set up a yahoo group myself, it's not hard. It just involves a lot of link exploration after it's been created to set the permissions of everything that you want. (Such as letting members download but not upload, etc.) If you need any help, just ask. People on here are awesome about helping when it comes to anything. :D
Also, in your zip files of the skins, have a text file stating details such as mesh they go with and make sure to give credit to the mesh and/or original skin designer etc you based them off of, if any. You probably knew that, but just making sure. Also, some of the designers prefer to be asked permission to use their skin bases, so keep that in mind.
(For the record, if anyone wants to use my (few) skins to create their own stuff, they are free to. )
Hi everyone,
I need something to knock around in the rumble room. With that in mind, I pulled together an American Crusader from Project Super Heros. The googles are not quite right but believe they came out pretty good.
http://photoshack.com/index.php?cat=17053
What are your thoughts?

i think your site is blocked for distributing malicious code ... lol. try photobucket?
Yeah I got the same thing.
You should try using Vertex vx3r Human torch2 Mesh...it has a lot more fire. You can scale it down for Sparky:

Hi everyone,
Sorry about the bad photo hosting site. I will see about making the change to something different.
Avalon,
Thank you so much for the reference pictures of the Crusaders. The top one is the one I was working from. Funny enough my eyedropper picked up Americommando's costume color as orangeish.....While your other two reference pictures clearly show his costume as red. Sometime, I may update his skin to be more in line with the last reference picture you provided.
Also, for Fireball I utilized Gren's Male_Basic_Fx and for Sparky I utilized Male_16 and scoped the FX from Male_Basic_FX to provide flame. They look great in game but I could not get the flames to stand out well in the character tool for the promo picture. That is why I photoshoped some flames in.
Respectfully,
Hi everyone,
Back with some new stuff and a new site to host preview pics! Thanks IPS!!

Hi everyone,
You might be man enough to face these three in the Rumble Room....But are you mean enough?
King Hyperion, Squadron Sinister Hyperion and the Tanget Superman (Warning: face of Tanget Superman kitbashed from another skin. Will be fixed prior to release).
http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/
As always, feedback welcome!
Respectfully,
Really good work on Tanget Supermand and GL. :)
I really like King Hyperion :thumbup:
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.
Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
cant wait for them to be released.any idea?
Hi everyone,
Joining Hyperion are the rest of the Squadron Sinister, Whizzer, Dr. Spectrum and Nighthawk.
http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/
I got a suggestion: post them on a website/yahoo group for download.

They're way too many alternatives to yahoo these days that don't require the "potential downloader" to sign up to keep fooling with them. Mediafire allows the owner of the space to host entire folders for the public and they're several sites like mediafire, but with a search function. If ya want a simple site, Googlepages/Google sites is the way to go if you plan to stay beneath 100 files. Just some suggestions.
On your skins, I think they're pretty good and really help fill out some of the missing characters we haven't seen skinned. So, keep up the good work, yo.
been reading the dynamite books and theres a speedster type character with i think 3 seperate vibrating characters in one called the target.the tj kingdom come flash vibrates with multiple images.maybe it could be skoped into the target character.just a thought.
Hi everyone,
From the mind of my six year old, my first origional character: Johnny Franklin was a normal first grader who idolized Godzilla. One day while playing he stumbled upon a group of insectoid alien's (Davorakk) focused on taking over the world. Before Johnny could get away and warn anyone of the impending plot he was captured and thrown into a volcano. Lucky for Johnny as he plumeted into the hot lava he was struck by a strange ray (energy X). Somehow the combination of the strange ray, hot lava and his knowledge of Godzilla he was transformed into a boy sized version of the titanic monster. Emerging from the lava as Godzilla Boy, Johnny used his powers to foil the alien plot, defeat their champions and send them fleeing back to the stars. Johnny continues to guard the earth against all threats as GODZILLA BOY!!

:thumbup: I gotta say thats cool lol, really loved the origins. Godzilla BOY!!! Hahahaha
:thumbup: awesome job!
:banghead: i can't wait for the site to open. :D
Hi everyone,
Back with a couple of new skins and hexs.
First: From the mind of my seven year old, my second origional character: Liam Robert has always been facinated with construction equipment and loves to look at and watch heavy equipment work. One evening while walking through a construction site he noticed a strange object partially uncovered as a result of some recent bulldozing. As Liam grew nearer to the object it began to glow brighter and brighter. As Liam bent over to pick up the object it suddenly flashed extremely bright and then went dim. Later, Liam learned that he was now able to accelerate to incredible speeds. In fact, when concentrating on his powers Liam's body moves so fast that he appears as a constant blur and the friction associated with the speed of his movements produces a intermittent shoud of flame that radiates from the surface of his skin. Interestingly, somehow Liam's skin has become extremely resistant to heat and fire. Now endowed with powers far beyond those of other seven year old boys, Liam fights a never ending
battle for truth, justice and the American way as FLASHFIRE!
and
From the mind of my eight year old, my third origional character: One day while playing football with his friends, Dominick found himself and his friends caught in a powerful thunderstorm that sprung up unexpectantly. All the boys scurried quickly for their homes. While Dominick road his bike toward home he was struck by a lightning bolt. Through some miracle, Dominick found himself uninjured by the blast but charged with electricity. Dominick learned that he now had the ability to generate, store and control electricity. With his new found powers, Dominick named himself Lightningstrike and together with his bothers (Flashfire and Godzillaboy) formed the pre-teen super team the Dyna-mites!

As separates these guys are interesting but do they really work as a group? Godzilla Boy really stands out from the other two. He has these jeweled bracelets and golden accessories. While the other two are sporting spandex. Them being related makes it even more disjointed.
I don't know, I think they could work, with him as the disjointed element of the group, something along the lines of The Thing, or Rex from Astro City's First Family. It could help if you gave them some similar elements in their costumes, but their looks are so cool that it would just about be a shame to mess with the designs. Very nice work SCD!

They're also designed by small children. =P
cool ideas dynamo!did you get my pm earlier?
Hi everyone,
Thank you for the feedback on the characters. I tried my hardest to follow what the kids had in mind for their characters. That being said, I thought they were pretty cool but did not give much thought to how they work as a group.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how these could be better and how to establish an improved flow for other teams as I have plenty of characters from my old V&V days that I would like to bring into FFvsTTR.
Respectfully,
just keep doing what your doing!your doing a fine job my friend! :thumbup:
Hi everyone,
Leaping from the pages of Fantastic Comics is Stardust, the Super Wizard!!
http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/
Geeez....you would think a super wizard would at least wear shoes...lol
Stardust looks great. He's one of my favorite's. When might we be able to acquire these skins for our own collections?
hi daglob,
thanks for the response and the interest. i need to take the time to set up a yahoo group or some other method of distribution. right now i am having way too much fun skinning and i am using all of my free time to do so. hopefully soon i will be able to have them available for download.
with that in mind, another here is another preview. This time Shadowhawk from Image comics.
http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/
Shadowhawk = :thumbup:
Hi everyone,
Flying out of the pages from Americomics is DRAGONFLY. I could not find an exact match for her wings but I believe she turned out alright.
http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/
Please let me know your thoughts.
Nice.
I've never heard of her but keep these bug heroes coming - I think I'm getting an idea for a level or two.
Not meaning to be a pud... but is there a particular reason as to why you link to your photobucket, instead of posting the pic in forum like so.....
[spoiler]
(http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/DRAGONFLY.jpg)[/spoiler]
Just curious.
Hi HouseQuake,
No reason. I just have not tried to post the picture on the forum.
Respectfully,
Hi everyone,
A couple of new scopes/skins today. Straight from mite world is BAT-MITE and clawing from the pages of Atlas Comics is Tigerman!
[spoiler][/spoiler]
http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/BATMITEjt.jpg
http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/Tigerman_Jt.jpg
I have been waiting years to see an excellent Tigerman skin like this. Favor us with a release, please, O Talented One?
Hey SCD! I like your new skins! Very cool!
Looks like you're trying to make a "Spoiler Thing." Here's what you need to do:
- Place {img} and {/img} (but with [ ] instead of { }) around the address for the picture.
- Place {spoiler} and {/spoiler} (again, with [ ] instead of { }) at the beginning and the end of what you want... spoilered?
It would look like this:
[spoiler]

(http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/Tigerman_Jt.jpg)
[/spoiler]
Hope this helps, and keep up the good skinning work, man!
I had thought about doing both Bat-Mite and Tiger-Man but was stumped on how to do them. I am certaintly glad YOU did them, and am extreamly impressed at how great they look.
So... when can I get my hands on them?
Batmite, eh?
I've meant to get on making one of those.
Batmiite look tight. :thumbup:
Hi everyone,
Thank you for the feedback I appreciate it. I need to begin the process of readmes and ziping of the scopes/skins and then I will open a yahoo group for those that are interested.
Also, Hitman, a special thanks to you on the tutorial for the use of spoiler. I am rather clueless on how to do this stuff and appreciate the help!
Respectfully,
you know i'm interested dynamo!great stuff my friend.
:thumbup:
I just found out that the crusaders are the DC version of marvel's invaders. I can't wait for them to be released now. I'm going to make them fight the other crusaders which is also marvel's version of the freedom fighters :thumbup:
Hi everyone,
Back with a multi-pack of my favorite Squadron Supreme and Exiles member - I give you four versions of Power Princess!
As always - feedback appreciated!

ooooohhhhhhh!!!!!! When are we going to see a release? :( This has got to be a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
I was thinking how the Power Princess with the fist logo was never created and bam: she's created.
Great job, man!
My very first comic book was a Defenders issue where the Defenders fought the Squadron Supreme, so that's the iteration of Power Princess I will always prefer. I should get a whole Defenders vs SS with Overmind looking things over in the Rumble Room now.
Looking foward to your releases.
excellent power princess dynamo.putting in my request for your takes on dynamites arrow,the target, and any other of the team.still enjoying your gift.
Hi everyone,
From the pages of Project Superpowers comes the "F" Troop!
[spoiler][http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/Sioux_City_Dynamo/JT_F_TROOP.jpg][/spoiler]
P.S. I am now working on a release so keep your eyes open!!
Just so people can click on it. :)

Nice work.
very good dynamo!!!dynamic dude.(hint) :lol:
Cool stuff. I love it.
Very cool Dynamo. The only critique that I'll give you is for the helmet. The eyes need to be fixed (they're a little too big and kind of look like just a "sploch" and I'd either have a definitive "line" down the center for the "nose" or I'd change the helmet maybe to Vertex's Dr.Fate half helm. ;) Just my two cents.
