Hey Everyone, I am kind of excited. I just nifscoped my first mesh. When I started out skinning. I started with some of the Global Guardians. Well there were never any meshes to fit the Olympian or Wildhuntsman. Well For my first nifscope project I made Olympian with a couple of tom_versatile meshes. I still need to put a few finishing touches on him. But was excited enough I wanted to preview him. I am planning to nifscope more soon as well as continuing to skin. So let me know what you think folks. I still need to find out what pieces I can deleate from a tom_versatile mesh with out causing it any damage. With all the posts that were taken away. I'm not sure if it is safe to just deleate all the unused parts? If you all have any info please feel free to let me know what I can do to make the mesh size smaller.
Thanks

he looks really cool.keep going with your ideas.
It looks very promising indeed. I'm on my way to check out those yahoo groups of yours this very minut...
That does look awesome! Good choices on the bits you added, they fit him well.
As for the file size, I have found it takes a long time to delete bits, and there's always the danger of messing up the mesh.. instead of that I've started with a tv_lite mesh and then porting over the parts you need.
Looking good! I am very happy to see more Global Guardians skins!
I have been playing around with the versatile meshes too, seeing how much can be deleted. From what I've seen, you pretty much have to leave on all the weapons (guns, swords, maces, etc.) and the wings (just the ones on the back; the head, ankle, and arm wings can be deleted). Most other pieces can be safely deleted. What I usually do is make a backup copy, remove a few pieces, and then see if it still works. If it does, I trash the old backup and make a new backup. That way I can slowly whittle it down, and if I accidentally mess it up, I can go back to my backup and I've only lost a few steps.
Another thing to watch out for: For some reason, if you delete pieces, the mesh can no longer be NifConverted. So if you want to use it in 3rd Reich, make sure you run it through the converter before you start stripping away stuff.
Sorry it's taken me a while to see this and comment on it, KS, things have been a bit chaotic this last week. Anyroad, I think I remember that character, didn't he and Aquaman go mano-e-mano once? It looks like you're deffinetly getting the hang of this Nifscope thing. That skin is a pretty solid beginning too, and the cape looks really cool. You captured the ragged look of it, like it's the fleece it's supposed to be and not just a cape.

I agree with Revanent, the best way that I found to do things is to find a mesh that has similar features, for example, to make a Batman mesh, start with Moon_Knight_tvlite and delete all the capes, gloves, belts, etc... Save and copy the Nif. Make sure the Nif still works with the keyframes, then start adding on the Batman pieces to your first Nif. This way, if there are any problems, you still have a backup.
Hello Everyone,
I have finished my first 2 nifscope hexes. The Olympian is now finished and uploaded to my 8th Yahoo group. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/saintsandskinners08 Also I have done Marvel's Flying Tiger hex as well. Both seemed to have turned out OK. Please let me know what you think.

Those look really great! Nice job on the NifSkoping. :thumbup:
Great work, as always KS, and I really like the face on the tiger guy. Ha, deffinetly the high point of the mesh.
Flying Tiget is definatly one of your best works yet Kssaints :thumbup:
One more for my Masters of Evil team ! Thanks for this Flying Tiger, Kssaints. :thumbup:
I have wanted flying tiger since 2003 - thanks for making this happen :blink:
I echo the thoughts of everyone else, great job with the nif scoping and skinning, and awsome Flying Tiger :thumbup:
Looking forward to whats next!
Dude! Flying Tiger rocks! Thanks for these skins!
Great job on these guys. Flying Tiger specifically.
hello! a favor to ask -- if anybody can help me to convert The Olympian for use with FFvTTR, could they please send me a PM?
i love this character (i know, i know. but he's so obscure, yet cool!), but for the life of me, i can't convert this mesh -- i've used two converters, and no dice.
and kssaints: AWESOME WORK on that! that skin/hex rocks! :thumbup:
Wow, nice job, kssaints. I'll be downloading that Flying Tiger in no time!
Hello everyone,
I am working on some skins and wanted to preview a few. I would also like feedback on which Spectre skin looks the best. The first skin is the new Sargon the Sorcerer. Then there is the Cirus Allen Spectre. Lastly I am getting colse to finishing the original Global Guardians with Wildhuntsman. Please feel free to give feedback on the Spectre skins. I still think it needs something.
Kssaints
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Preview021207.jpg)
Howdy KS! Well, I'm not familiar with Sargon, but I think you've done a good job on him, especially his eyes...creepy. As far as the Spectre, I'd say either the rightmost or centre are best. I don't think the green tinted one looks quite right. Wildhuntsman looks pretty cool, but he needs some shine on those bracers. (You said these are works in progress, so that's probably still coming anyway) They look good, as always my friend ;)
Looking forward to that Huntsman skin - as for the Spectre i choose the middle one :blink:
Geez man, awesome work. As for Spectre, I think the one on the right looks more like the one in the Spectre mini, but the middle one is closer to his Tales From The Unexpected where we see him these days. My vote goes to the right one then I guess, that series was written better :P
Well I have uploaded some new skins to my 8th Yahoo group http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/saintsandskinners08 Red Arrow/Arsenal of the JLA, the new Starman of the JSA, the new Sargon the Sorcerer, Jericho in his newly reserected form, Nightman and Supernova1 from some long forgotten issues of World's Finest comics. I will be releasing more skins yet this weekend. Hope you all have fun with them.

Awesome! I have been waiting for Red Arrow and Jericho. Thanks KS, these are great!
SWEEEEET!
i picked up the Sargon the Sorcerer issue just so i could have a feel for this guy! (yep, i'm one of those guys -- gotta know what they do, if i can!)
he was pretty cool!
Nice job! I love the detailing on Nightman and Supernova1.
Nice to see some new stuff. Good to see "Red Arrow", Starman, and Jericho specifically.
I just replied on my request topic as well - great job as always!
you skin faster than i can download :blink:
:lol: :lol:
Well done, kssaints.
Well I am glad everyone liked my releases yesterday. Now for today's releases. There is Damage in his new look, Inertia, Spectre III a.k.a. Crispus Allen, Hot Spot of the 52 series Titans, and Ringmaster a rather old and forgotten villian/ally of Barry (the Flash) Allen have all been loaded top my 8th Yahoo group. In my 7th Yahoo group is an update of my Black Lightning skin. Now with the blue lightning and blue sleeves. Hope you all enjoy them. For all you Marvel fans. Never fear the next release will be all Marvel Characters.
Later All

I already replied on my request thread, but again - great job. One question - are you able to get the lightning effects around his hands on the male_basic mesh?
Nope, But check out Revenants hex for Black Lightning it is awesome. But it only comes in FFV3R so far. It's the mesh I use for Black Lightning.
Kssaints
Yeah, I do have that mesh as well. There's just something I like about your skin for that one. No offense to Ren - I'm using a lot of his stuff as well. By the way - thanks for knocking out so many from my request list!
Ohh, great work. A nice update to BL, I think it's a solid improvement. I really like Inertia, good job on him, espeically the goggles/mask, whaterver thingy.....err, and good choice on the Spectre, I think ya' picked the right one.
Uh believe it or not there is going to be another release shortly. There was a request for some members of a certain Marvel villian team that appeared way back in X-Factor #6 and I have been sitting on a few Black Panther skins that I did to fit Rev's great hex. I did a Black Panther skin as he appeared in Avengers #52, a alternate Ultimate skin, and a Buscema design skin. There will be more skins in the works in the coming weeks. these Marvel skins will be uploaded sometime tonight before I hit the bed. I will let you all know when they are uploaded.
All are now loaded in my 9th Yahoo group.

Nice batch of skins Kssaints! not only are you getting better and better, but your quick as well, not to mention your skinning my favorite type of characters, (rare/obscure never been skinned before)
Keep up the great work!
Hey! The Alliance of Evil! Awesome job, Kssaints! Thanks!
Hey guys do we need Tower as well. If he hasn't been done I'll do him as well. Stinger isn't 100% accurate. Buit honestly I like my version better.
Kssaints
There is a Tower skin done by Flash22798, but you can do a version to to complete your version of the team. :thumbup:
Hey KS, would you mind if I release my own version of Tower ? The team would be complete.
(http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/7508/towerrb6.jpg)
By the way, I am very very happy to see these Alliance skins! Good job! :thumbup:
Absolutely not. It looks fantastic. I'll be chomping at the bit to get it.
Kssaints
Love those Black Panther skins, man.
Quantity AND quality... I can sure appreciate that. :)
Personally, I love when skinners go for second-tier characters. It's like that difficult Trading Card you can't get... It sucks to wait for them, but when they are available, you realize that it was worth the wait.
Nevertheless, it's a great work, overall. That includes Black Panther, obviously, who is not exactly a second-tier guy (especially nowadays).
Well as you all may have noticed I released 2 skins today. First official releases in a while. But Speed has been requested many times and EXcavator was a US Agent request. I have also been doing alot of stuff for Benton Grey's DCU mod. So I thought I'd throw some pics up of what I've been up to. Just to let anyone who hasn't noticed. I am still alive.

great showing but who is the golden thor look-a-like?
Sweeeet ... Shadowthief! And Doom Patrol Robotman!
Are these available through your Yahoo group or exclusively for the DC mod.

Yup Lonar the Wanderer. As far as the availability. I will try and make them available soon. I'll let everyone know when they are up.
EXcavator - Hell Yea :blink:
Nice work. I'm not familiar with a couple of characters (Excavator and whichever Cheetah that is), but those are some pretty good looking skins!
Jericho was resurrected?? Was his voice box fixed when he was brought back, or is he still mute?
Love the EXcavator, thanks again for him.
The EXcavator was the latest addition to the Wrecking crew, he appeared in the Runaways (version 2) he is Piledriver's son whom the Wrecker reluctantly gave a portion of his power to. He probably isnt as powerful as the rest of the crew, but his Shovel is supposed to be enchanted.
KS, I've already told you how much I love all of these, but let me just say it again. You do great work my friend. I think that your Steppenwolf and Cheeta are especially great. You really did something cool with Cheeta's eyes.
man thats alot of skins u've made! :thumbup:
Thanks for all the kind comments. As for Cheetah it is kind of an amalgem of a couple of designs that Benton Grey had invisioned. I just tried to bring it to life.AS far as the ammount. It looks like alot. But it has been done over a large period of time. Sometimes I can be super fast or super slow on requests depending on RL stuff. Well I hope to have alot of stuff uploaded next weekend. Seems like the hardest part for me to do is the read me files. I take my time cause I've screwed so many up. Antway I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words folks.
great skins man, I really love the new Damage and Tick, but I can't seem to get them to work for the life of me. Any ideas why?
well frostdamage, do you have the meshes and keyframes installed too?
Quote from: electro on April 20, 2007, 08:04:29 AM
EXcavator - Hell Yea :blink:
Lol! Yeah...he reminds me of the Shoveler from the Mystery Men. Speaking of which...anyone ever done them (the Mystery Men that is)????
yea i just cant get the tick to work now, but i'll try again tomorrow
Ok everybody CLEAR!!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTT
OK CLEAR!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT
Thud Ump! Thud Ump! Thud Ump!
Whew! yes the thread she lives. It's alive. I haven't posted here in a long time. But thought I'd get out the defibrulator and get it back on it's feet. Starting with some of my latest releases. Knockout, Firefist, Ian Karkull, Man in the Ion Mask, Airstryke, Panther,Yank & Doodle, Shazam in his modern costume, Cheshire, and Avenger. There are also The Global Guardians, The Deep 6, and The Forever People. Who I don't believe I ever announced in this thread way back when I did them. The Deep 6 and Forever people are also in Benton Grey's DCU mod as well. Also coming in the near future are Mr. Element and Dominus. As well as others. Hope everyone likes them and enjoys the character selection.

Thanks HT I forgot to give a link. Also Mr.Element and Dominus aren't out just yet. But will be uploaded to that same group soon.
:o Wow!
Wow, those skins are awesome! And your choice of meshes/skoping is spot on too, well done
Airstryke is way cool :cool: keep up the epidermis labors lol!
First of all thanks for the kind words everyone. Mr. Element is in my 10th group now. Dominus will be on his way soon accompanied by some other Superman related work. There will be Magog from Kingdom Come, Gog, the latest version of Eradicator, and a Superboy redesign by Ganymede Zero. Hr had the idea I jus brought it to life. Anyway that's all for this installment. I'll let ya know when they are available.

:thumbup: Whoa, that new look Eradicator is spot-on, too!
Thanks Jake. I have loved this design since it came out. I requested a mesh a couple of times. But now with the majic of nif scope it accoured to me I could do it myself now. So I'mm glad you like how it turned out.
You beat me to the Eradicator! Great job on the skope and the skin. The Gog are great as well. The only skin I see any problem with is the Superboy redesign, why is it black at the top of the cape?
Hey thank for the compliments AA. Coming from you I am really flattered. You are one of my alltime favorite skinners. You do incredible work. Thanks for noticing the black patch at the top of the cape. When I did the cape I used the wrongf base for the Tommyboy cape. So I need to go back and fix it. Again thanks a bunch.
Hey Folks I have released a few more DC skins that were requested. They are Killer Frost, Superman of Earth 10, and a recolored version of Superman requested by Ganymede Zero. Along with both Gog and Magog who were previewed earlier in this thread.

I'd actually thought of doing that Eradicator a while ago. Glad someone finally did it. Nice to see Killer Frost too.
Love those Killer Frost skins, kssaints!
Hey my friend, sorry I'm just now getting around to commenting on these, but I see you've done some great work while I've been indisposed! Your Gog and Magog skins are just exceptional, and the skope work is fantastic too. You even included the pistol on (which one is that again, Gog?). Excellent work on the Superman-type skins, and and on Killer Frost. I'm torn on which of those I like best. They're all great, but I THINK my favorite is the one on the left. However, I've got to say that your Eradicator is just beautiful. That's a fantastic skin and a great skope to boot. Great work, as always, my friend.
Hey Kssaints ... is that Eradicator available anywhere at this stage?
its good to see your work again kssaints. ^_^
Hey all, I would like to say I think I may be back skinning again. I am going to try and finish all my unfinished projects before I take on any new ones. But I did just upload the Eradicator that I previewed many moons ago. There will be many more to come including that Matter Master in his original costume for Benton Grey. As well as many others that have been sitting on my computer for a long time now. Well as long as RL allows it I'll be back in the saddle again. Well the Eradicator is in my 10th Yahoo group and uses Tommyboy's Wonderman_tvlite mesh. I just love that mesh. Anyway I am glad to be back and hopefully can catch up with everyone soon.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Eradicator2.jpg)
welcome back! :thumbup:
Thanks JakeW, and here are the next 2 hexes/skins Golden Age Black Condor (complete with black light gun and a holster that can be added in.) and Blimp of the Inferior five. I'll hopefully have more stuff done this weekend.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/BlackCondorGA.jpg) (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Blimp.jpg)
Well here's another quick release. A recolored tweeked version of my Hulkbuster that could serve as an Iron Monger skin. He's in my 7th Yahoo group and was requester by johnconstantine78. Hope you all enjoy.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/IronMonger.jpg)
Hey hey! If it isn't my long lost partner in crime! Welcome back KS, I hope things have calmed down enough to allow you to rejoin us. :D These releases are nice, but I like that Iron Monger. I can't wait to see that Matter Master, my friend!
I'm extremely happy to see that Eradicator released. :thumbup:
Thanks Guys,
It is nice to be back. Things around home are going really well Bent. My wife's health has improved and she has lost 125 pounds. I am glad you like the Erdicator AA. I think I've loved about everything you've ever done. You and C-6 / Renegade combo are always my favorite meshes and skins.
Had none of these chars in the collection yet - Thanks Kssaints :blink:
That Black Condor is great, btw ... I've been looking for this to complete my WWII Freedom Fighters.
Great new stuff dude. BTW, what keyframes should I use for the Black Condor skope?
Well the Black Condor keys are from Tommyboy's Dr.Doom mesh. I most generally will use a Tommyboy mesh for my hexes. I love his stuff as I am sure we all do. Have you seen the new Pied Piper mesh he is working on. Looks amazing. So on that subject here's a preview of a skin that I'll release when he gets them finished. Mal Duncan as Hornblower from the Teen Titans. Old Mal has been sitting on my computer for a long time just waiting for a mesh. I also would like to say thanks for all the kind thoughts and the welcome back messages. I am glad to see Everyone is still out there in FF land.

finally ur pics aren't scratchy.
Hey All, I guess I am back. Who knows for how long though? RL can be a real mess sometimes. Any way here are a couple of ne hexes/skins I uploaded to my 10th Yahoo group. Along with Muse. Who thanks to JLAFan2001 I discovered I never actually released. Anyhow her are Lord Satanis and Lord of Time. Enjoy!!!!
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/LordSatanish.jpg) (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/LordofTime.jpg)
Welcome back KS, for however long you can manage! I'm glad real life calmed down long enough for you to rejoin us for a bit. Yay for Muse! I'm thrilled to get my hands on that skin and skope, it was really excellent work! Did you ever finish that Matter Master skin/skope? I like these two new skins...that Lord of Time is spot on...and I love the crazed look on his face!
Welcome back, man. I really like that Lord Of Time :thumbup:
Is Lord Satanis a Silver Age version of Lord Satanus? I'm unfamiliar with the character. Cool-looking, though.

Lord Satanis is a Superman villain from the 1980s:

Great job on both of those, KS! :thumbup:
Well it is nice to be back in the FF community. I did check the boards every once and a while. But couldn't dedicate myself to any skinning. But with RL slowing down I have decided to try and get back in the swing. My next two releases will be The Weird from the 90's mini series and Kung the shapeshifting enemy of Wonder Woman and the All-Star Squadron. I hope to keep them coming and maybe even get some requests done. Still feeling you the Bent my friend.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Weird.jpg) (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Kung.jpg)
While the face looks really unique the reds looks inconsistent.
I'd never heard of those characters, but those funky designs inspired me to look them up. Cool stuff! :cool: I'm going to have expand my DC reading a bit more...
he right. :unsure:
The Weird was also the back-up in the recent Captain Comet mini-series in Mystery in Space.
If I can ever lick Particle Emmitters, I may try my hand at Captain Comet.
The Weird was used anywhere besides that mini? Wow. I actually love that character, despite disliking several things about the story itself. And he wasn't even THAT weird. Cool looking, though.
I agree with AA about the incosistence, however. The boots and gloves look washed out. Granted I notice a lot of your reds look like that (RE your last two skins). I think might be a little bit how you highlight. Do you use the dodge tool or do you use a lighter colour (or white) for highlighting? I find both methods don't suit my tastes, and tend to highlight red with a more cherryish or orangey colour depending on how I want the red to look.
It may be monitor trouble. For awhile I ahd to include color description on any work I did, becasue it wasn't the same clors on my monitor as someone else'. Green Lantern Green, Superman Blue, and Flash Red were useful description.
Good stuff, and good to see you active once again.
Interesting, the reds are much more washed out on my girlfriend's monitor than they are on mine. I think I may have to adjust my colour settings a little, and you may have to also.
Well I thought I would give a little preview of some things I am finishing up on. Finally finished Mal (Herald) Duncan, Lord Volko skin for Bent on an amazing mesh/hex by Bearded, Von Bach, Nukloid, and Hyperman of the Kingdom Come series. There will be others to follow and I'll announce when these are uploaded.

Some nice skins there, KS. I've already told you how much I love your Vulko, but I also really like your Nukloid. He's pretty neat looking with the electric lines like veins...sorta' creepy.
I love that Von Bach. Nice work :thumbup:
I'm a big Kingdom Come fan and these skins are great! :)
Nukloid and Hyperman rock! :thumbup:
Fantastic job! I can't wait to play with him.
Those are some good skins.
Von Bach and Nukloid really jumped out at me.
Well here are two new skins I finished via the request thread. First is Psycho-man and the next is the Jackal. Two old school Marvel villians that haven't been done yet. The scopes were done respectively by doctorchallenger and djfredski. I just added some skins to them. As always I used a C-6 base as he will always be the true master of FF skinning. Hope you all like them and enjoy them. They are ready for download in my 9th Yahoo group.

Love Jackal ... my one quibble with Psycho Man is that the mesh is a bit too "skinny" and not stocky enough. But you'd probably need mesh skoped to those proportions, so its kind of moot point.
Great job, Kssaints. Just one question though. Where can I find the keyframes for psychoman?
The original mesh is trek_t mesh byu Tommyboy and it's located in one of his Yahoo groups.
Trek_t is in tommy's 16th yahoo group.
Thanks Doc for the input and the great scope for me to skin. I also uploaded to my 10th group Von Bach, Vulko, Nukloid, Hyperman, and Herald. I have other on the way still and am colaborating with djfredski to skin some scopes for him as well. Hope you all enjoy these and I'll try and keep them coming.
Well here are 2 more skins/scopes before I call it a night. First is the Flash villian Plunder donr on TJ's solid_snake mesh, an obscure WWII hero the twister which is on Tommyboy's Red Tornado, and the golden age Wonderman from Better Comics group. Hope you all like them. They are also available in my 10th Yahoo group.

I love the latest batch of skins you have done, way to knock out those never before skinned characters! I especially like the KC characters.
Question... The read me file for Plunder says it uses TJ's Solid snake mesh keys, but there is no link in the read me to where we can get that mesh to get the keys (its not on the master mesh list either)
edit:
I tracked it down : http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TexasJackMeshes
Sterling work. As ever.
. :blink:Psycho-Man :blink:.
Well I am still in the skinning buisness. I uploaded 3 more skins to my 9th Yahoo group. I don't think any of them had been done as of yet. I guess you could say I am working on my Mrvel Comics A, B, Cs. I give you Aquarian (a.k.a. Wundarr), Blue Marvel (from Adam Legend of The Blue Marvel) and Captain Rectitude. Hope that you all can get some use out of them. There will also be some upcoming releases of Major Victory (a.k.a. Vance Astro), Genis Vell in his Legacy duds, and updates to Jackal and Psycho-man. As well as several others that will remain a secret at this point. Nothing too major just like to throw in a few suprises.

Rarly do I say this but, Captain Rectitude is one of those toons that just really didn't need to be made - With that being said I will now waste time, effort & harddrive space just to watch this sack O' turds get stomped by She-Hulk - Thanks for the skins :blink:
I rally like the Aquarian. Nice going.

What can I say " I will stop at nothing to bring the insignificant and unwanted characters of comics to those who truely do not want them." LOL
Hey KS, I am having a issue with the Captain Rectitude skin. He has a pink wig on top of his head and I can't seem to fix it. You pic looks like it isnt supposed to have any hair pieces on it.

in that case, want to help me make uncle marvel and tawny? since it's requested by no one, that is.
Hey Agent, not sure why the hair piiece is showing up on your version. But I will check the download and fix it. It's showing up pink because there is no skin included for it. So I'll let you know through PM when I get it taken care of for you. Bearded I was going to offer in your thread to skin both for you if you scoped them. So I'd be more than glad to help. I think a good Uncle Marvel and MT.Tawny are way overdue.
What about Woozy Winks?

"If they scope it I will skin" :lol:
Well here are a few previews for anyone who might be interetsed. First is Captain Assyria and yes there may be other Assyrian Avengers in my future. Then we have 3 versions of Major Victory a.k.a. Vance Astro. Then is our friend Genis Mar-Vel during his Legacy phase. As well as the improved versions of Jackal (with new and improved ears) and Psycho-man (bigger is better). The sopes for Major Victory, Legacy, and Jackal were done by DJFredski. Psycho man is the work of DoctorChalleger. I threw together Cap Assyria on top of one of DJFredski's Major Victory scopes.
There are other things in the works as well so stay tooned true believers. Sorry about that Stan (don't sue me).

Wow very cool stuff here. It's been neat to see the evolution of the Psycho-man project. I've always wanted to see Major Victory done, and it's about time Legacy got a skin (least I don't recall him being skinned before). Good work.
cant wait to play psycho man improved!hopefully we'll see these soon.
WOW! :D :rolleyes: :thumbup:
Well I wanted to throw out one more preview. He still needs his pants done and a belt. But I am sure you will recognize Drax the Destroyer in his latest incarnation I believe. As you may be able to tell I am kind of on a Marvel kick right now. Well anyway I hope to have some of this packed up and released late tomarrow. There will be other things to preview as well I hope "Nuff Said." Sorry Stan, please don't sue me.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Draxpreview.jpg)
Sweet, I've been waiting for one of him.
Did you consider skoping Syn's Warpath mesh for Drax? Seems like a good fit.
That Drax is looking nice!
I was thinking Syn's Warpath for Drax too ... it has great dual-knife keyframes.
Nice looking Drax! I also was looking for his latest incarnation. And like the others, I think the Warpath mesh would be a better fit, The new Drax is bulkier than a male basic size mesh.
I agree and was just about to post that. A more muscular body would work better for him.
Did you end up using Ren's Earth 2 Superman for that Psycho Man? I only recognize it since it looks a bit like Unko Man's body shape... Anyhow, he looks great. The captains too, although Major Victory's chainmail blue looks a tad washed out.
Still, cool to see these guys.
I like those Major Victorys a lot. Drax is coming along nicely as well.
Well if you can tell me where to get the Warpath mesh I'll use it?
I'm glad to see other Guardians being skinned. After I did Quasar and Adam Warlock I wanted to do the entire team but got sidetrack. Are you doing the rest of the team? I also think Warpath is a better fit.

There ya go.
Thank you kind Murs, Ok that didn't sound right. It just didn't come out in the Mighty Marvel Manner. Sorry Stan, don't sue me I'm innocent. :wacko:
Well all I can say is you all really know your stuff. I put Drax on the Warpath mesh and he looks awesome. I made a few tweeks and I think everyone will be happy with it. Excellsior!!! Sorry Stan, don't sue me I have a family to feed.
Captain Assyria..from the New Warriors? I'd be very interested to see the rest of that team!
Great job on Drax..it looks perfect. I like the work you did on the blades in the original picture, too. I hope that translates to the Warpath mesh. I would recommend putting some reflection on the blades itself, though.
Well I can't take credit for the knives. They are by Valandar from one of his meshes. I believe it is male_knife_fighter. I plan to use them for the finished product as well. They just seem to fit the character perfectly.
Well here is a preview for those of you who insisted you wanted your Drax on the Warpath mesh. By the way good choice. LOL
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/DraxtheDestroyer.jpg)
Real-real nice! :thumbup:
Oh yeah, that looks much better. Nice work.
Sometimes the mesh you choose makes all the difference. This is one of those times. That skin looks phenomenal on the Warpath mesh. Kudos!! :thumbup:
Drax and Legacy are both noe uploaded to my 9th Yahoo group. Enjoy and Happy Holidays true believers. Damn, sorry Stan I can't help myself. Please don't sue me it's almost Christmas.
If you're gonna' rip somebody off, it may as well be somebody with class, and Stan Lee has gobs to spare.
Well before I leave for work today I wanted to throw out another preview. Here is what I have so far of Tyrak. There just can't be enough Atlantian bad guys running around you know. I also have Byrrah in the works. But for some unknown reason Tyrak was always my favorite.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Tyrakpreview.jpg)
All good stuff, as I've come to expect of you.
Tyrak looks great, he's another character I've wanted but have been to lazy to make, and since you seem to have captured him perfectly, now I don't have to.
If I were to be so bold as to suggest one teeny tiny alteration to him, it would be to request that you make the seams on his chest more highlighted, to emphasize the difference between his 'waistcoat' and his flesh, since his armour included a hydration system we can assume it would be a bit thicker than normal cloth. Not a 'must do' change, but the only one I'd like to see on him
Otherwise he's pretty much perfectomundo, if I might channel the Fonz for one moment.
Well Tommy any praise coming from you is high praise in deed. I've always been a huge fan of yours. As far as Tyrak I guess I neglected to mention the skin isn't done yet. But I am glad you like it so far. I think everything on him was created by this great mesher in our community, I think his name is Tommyboy or something like that. LOL Also I think I've said this before, But if you ever want anyone to skin some of your meshes for you I'd be honored. The base for Tyrak is your Wonderman mesh. I seem to use that one alot. Anyway thanks again and I hope everyone will like the finished product
I like him as well. :thumbup:
How tall will he be?
i know in comic he really big as in tall. :unsure:
Wow ... that looks good. Nice colours, detail, etc.
that's odd. i was able to get drax from group 9 but all the other ones said 'document not available.'
and which group is shatterstar in?
great work!
I'm thrilled to see this. He was one of the first villains I was ever exposed to. My only suggestion is that you include the big bling bling chain he wore around his neck. I always loved the story where he took the Visions cape and wore it for a while. Thanks for knocking this one out. Top notch!
how tall is tyrak?in the comics he's around 8-9 foot tall.if you wanted to make a big version theres a hex floating around called ultimus_hair thats 8' 6'' in game.if i find the site i'll let you know.it's one of rens muscular shoulder points meshes.
here it is http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/freedomcorvus/?yguid=288732208 hair could be skoped off but the size is right on.
Well Tyrak will be I'd say about 9" tall. I just increased the size of Tommyboy's Wonderman mesh. Haven't checked it in game yet but am sure it will be fine. Also finished the skin as well as you can see from the pic below. He will also be accompanied by a couple of friends so Namor better have his jock strap on tight.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Tyrak-1.jpg)
Ahh, that small change is a vast improvement, my friend. He looks great!
nice job KS!
Look awesome :thumbup:
I remember this guy from reading Avengers #278 as a kid. I'm glad you hexed him bigger.
Well I promised that Tyrak would have company and here are his little friends, Byrrah and Llyron! Did the best I could with them. I'm sure they'll safice till somone much better than I decides to do them. I'll do a message in the releases when they are uploaded to old group #9.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Byrrah.jpg) (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/kssaints/Llyron.jpg)
Not familiar with the new two, but T looks great. Wonderful.
Lookin good :thumbup:
I'm only vaguely familiar with them KS, but you did a nice job on them. Byraah looks PARTICULARLY nice. I especially like the work you did on his chest straps. I see that you took the time to outline them nicely. Great work my friend!
wow! they are awesome k. :o
