(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/hobgoblin.jpg)
i'm going to be honest i hate it, but if i keep working on it it will kill me, the colour scheme was a pain in the [expletive deleted] some of the elements of the costume well lets just say i'm not a fan. so i'm washing my hands of it, i had to do a good bit of hexxing to make stuff like the face and gloves work and i'm still not happy :(

managed to get a hold of a converted version of grens batman so i could work with alphas, so i decided to redo my 3 bat skins and add a fourth
as always any kind of feedback and critique is most welcome
Man, those are simply excellent. When did you get so incredibly good TUE? Ha, I mean, I've always liked your work, but I suppose that I haven't been paying attention, because that is just plain wonderful! You've got a vibrancy to the colors of your skins that I really like, and I have to say, that is hands down the best Mysterio skin I've seen!
I've got to agree. Your highlights really pop, although some of them seem a bit washed out. Light blue/grey Batman's seem a bit too white, to me. Jay's pants have a bit of this, as well.
On the other hand, I love your use of texture. Very effective.
:drool:
man love the textures on jay, alan and sandman!
batman looks plain aweome! and so does hobby
You love these characters and it really shows. I love the Tim Burton Bat costume and you did it justice. any chance of see the extremely beautiful Begins costume for Bruce.
mysterio looks cool
you can almost see his face

thanks i really dont think i've got all that better i've just stoped some bad habbits( letting filters and effect do the work for me)thanks for saying so it means i must be doing something right :D. i'm not 100% with mysterio but its mostly personal annoyances with his look than anything major

i think its the blue on both skins its such a bright colour to begin with, because the grey suit is the smae one from the other two skins with nothing changed.

possibily but not for a while i managed for varitions on bats in two days i need a break from him ^_^
thanks again folks for taking the time to look and reply to my work
Really nice stuff there UE. I'm liking the stubble work you got going on there, and Jay's shirt is nice as well.
Oh yeah, it is the blue only. That's what I meant. I understand how hard it is to get light color's highlights looking right.
Wow! That is indeed a great-looking Mysterio! Sandman is fantastic, too, and I don't remember seeing a skin of him in pure sand form.
Yes, your highlights are fantastic. That's what I love the most of these skins. And I can't think of one skin I don't like from this bunch... Even Hobgoblin looks awesome, in my opinion.
thanks again guys been working a good lately so hopefully get this out when i can
i dont think this one will be to everyones taste but i was bored and didnt like my old skin

feedback as always is welcome
well i love it. i've tried to get that exact look to little avail several times...feedback? whatever you're doing keep doin it! have you thought of putting it on the earth 2 superman mesh? he is a little paunchier than modern age Kal-El, and bizarro always struck me as a lil bulkier than supes in his modern incarnations. maybe add parasite_ren's keyframes for a heavy breathing idle animation so he looks more monsterous and less heroic?
nice work on the varying colours (red/purple etc.) you've made them look like corrupted, dirty versions of each other, not just recolours.
my only real criticism, and this is a personal taste thing, but when it comes to linework like you have done on his face and neck, i prefer it to be a bit less crisp and precise. i'd experiment with lowering the opacity of the dark lines (or both even) to see if i could get a more embossed look and less of a pasted on look.
Nontheless, i hope you get bored more often if this is the result.
Eh, This one's pretty good as is, I think. The few things I'm picking out are probably just style more then anything, and if you're lazy you can probably ignore them.
I tend to go in the opposite direction that Carravaggio suggests... I'd leave the shadows as-is, maybe decrease the opacity slightly, and up the highlight for more definition. Other then that though... Maybe make the skin lighter, add more contrast between the end of the sleeves and start of the hands, and darken the shadown under the belt buckle for the plae-yellow version of the belt.
me hate evil's skins, me can wait for decades for a release. me dont want them. me am not astounded at new techniques!
did some tweeking to the bizarro's, adjusting highlights colours and the textures

(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/guygardner.jpg)
as always feedback of any sort is most welcome
also any suggestions on which character i should try next would be welcome, but nothing to out of left field look at what i've done before if you have suggestion
Have any of these skins been released yet? Come on, ya big tease, give 'em up! :lol:
no :P
i really should get these things organised
Well, if you'd like suggestions, how about a Hawkman for Tommy's TV version?
Your texture use continues to delight me. In my gullet.
finally got my arse in gear and uploaded a bunch of my new skins. on the site you'll find a load of my skins that were lost in the crash along with all the ones currently previewed in my skins thread
http://the.ultimate.evil.googlepages.com/home
Sweet skins, as always!!
Unfortunately - in the Batman pack you released, the JLU Toon skin zip is empty.
Must ... have ... great ... skin!!!!! :banghead:
Yeah. I was sad I couldnt get me JLU Batman also.
I do, however, love your Keaton Batman and the Silver Age one too.
Oh, and the SPider-Man pack Very nice work there. Im also happy to see you added in a small eyed Romita/Ditko era Spider-Man. Thats my very favorite look for Spidey and I dont think it gets nearly enough love. But, as always, you bring us the stuff that everyone loves, but always overlooks.
Kudos, sir. You rock.
the batman zip has been fixed
guy gardner!!!! rulz
trying to get my skinning method back after a load of real life style i decided to have a go at doing some of the FR av's
first i chose these cause each gave me a type of character to work with ie mage, villain, tech etc. plus these people have helped me with my skin work, also before some follow the newest trend on fr of jumping in with requests i wont be taking any i have a few more avs in mind but i will pick them
sorry to start like that just something i've been thinking about
anyway
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/avs1.jpg)
[spoiler]podmark, c6 and premonitioner[/spoiler]
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/avs2.jpg)
[spoiler]AA, flesheater and jun[/spoiler]
thanks again the jkc and cybersavior for helping with flesheater's skoping. and AA for permission to use his face on his av
this was done for fun any older FR members will remember my av used to wear jeans over his boots
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/flesh2.jpg)
flesheater as been updated with new jeans, better textures and a new mask design
sad to say folk these are for :ffvstr: as a say a good 90% of my work now will be.
as always feedback of any kind is most welcome
HOLY MOTHER, THAT AFGHAN ANT IS AMAZING!!! :drool:
Seriously, that's my favorite one. It turned out so beautifully. Aside from that, Flesheater and Podmark are my next faves. ^_^
I likes! :thumbup:
I'd seen some of the early work for the Pod av, but the final version came out great. Awesome work on all of them UE. Your detail with texture work always astonishes me.
I really love the honeycomb texture to my redesign and I love Pod's. He's scary as heck. I will say I think Juan's is a little too close to his current one.
those are looking real good, but I'm seriousley digging AA's design....there's a lot of good contrast especially on the head.
wonderful work! :thumbup:
p.s. where did you get that Guy Gardner mesh?
The premo likes how you reimagined his costume. It's like a unique mix of my classic costume and the current matrix/lude version with your own mix thrown in. Now...if only you had added my old moon motif into my costume...joking, don't hit me!
*ducks*
:P

You've nothing to be sorry for mate, we have the requests board for a reason. Seems i remember a time, not so long ago when one would make a request in the appropriate board, maybe bump it now and then and wait in the generosity of another FR member. these days people are much more willing to jump in with a request that borders on the rude, and it comes from those who have the most avatars in the first place. people who have eight skins of their character don't really need a ninth...
As for the skins...
They are fantastic, i think it was around the time you were doing those spider-man villains you just sort of kicked your skinning up a lot of notches, and while it was probably a process for you it seemed like it happened overnight. your seams and linework is solid and crisp (that symbol on podmark looks fantastic i wish i could get my symbols looking that good) and i like the way you used C6's signature as his symbol, thats a nice touch.
the honeycomb texture (one i'm fond of myself for modern characters) gives the heroes coherence, makes them feel like they could be part of the same team, and the colours have an 'Ultimates' feel to them, in that the blacks are dark, leathery blues, juts like hitch draws them (dont know if you'll take that as a compliment or not) and you've managed to retain the characters looks despite being unique reimaginings, AA looks like, well, AA, and same goes for podmark and co.
Little details like the hair on your av's arms and the denim texture on his jeans show great attention to detail. Admittedly in game they wont be so noticable, but the point is that you bothered to do it anyway, cos you wanted the best looking av's you could muster, and you've succeeded admirably.
As always i'll be looking out for whatever you do next. ^_^
I've got to agree with everybody. These are really really nice. Great, in fact. A treat for the eyes.
However, since everybody pointed out good things... I'll point out something I'm not actually digging. The honeycomb texture. Don't get me wrong here, it's a decent texture. It's absolutely perfect for, say, AA. In my opinion, though, you way overused it. Now, this is personal taste of course, but every single one of these except Podmark (unless it is hidden on him somewhere) has honeycomb texture. Why? It's just not needed. On C6 it looks alright, but does Flesheater need it? Okay maybe it's some sort of armour, but Juancho?
I don't mean to put down your design choice here, but it's just an irritant of mine. It got really popular after it was in the Spider-Man movie, and then the Superman movie. Ugh.
Besides that though, friggin' sweet. And some solid hex work, too. I love your av's gloves. Such a simple thing but so effective. And, hey, now that you've got a new skin, maybe you'd want to check out some things (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=42448.0), hint hint.
I really like what you've done with some of these, and it's cool that you're doing avatar skins.
Afghan Ant- It's perfect. Well done.
Podmark- I love the design, and the execution. The only minor thing I would add is to do something more with the eye area... scars, bullet holes, something. It's too understated an area for what could be the centerpoint of the skin.
Juanco- I disagree with AA on this one. It may be a tad close to Juanco's design, but being close isn't nescessarily a bad thing. You took something that was already good and left your mark on it, that's all. The white lines on the belt though, confuse me.
Flesheater- Grah, I have to agree with unko on this... kill the honeycomb texture, at least on the red. It add's nothing to the design, and it borders on being tasteless. Otherwise though... it's pretty awesome.
Premonitioner- This skin just seems... unbalanced, I think. Too much yellow in some areas, not enough in others. My suggestion would be to add something black (a symbol, a collar, whatever) to the chest to break up the yellow, and some yellow designs or something on the legs to break up the black. Maybe some white edges around the yellow (like how the yellow is on Juanco's vest) to balance the white of his goggles too.
C6- This has so much potential, as a design, but it doesn't quite get there. The blue lines, which I suppose are there to balance the blue gems, aren't really nescessary... but I wouldn't remove them, eithor. If you made them into seems, similar to the lines on premonitioner, I think it'd work out nicer. Maybe add some more red in the middle too, I think.
I really like these skins, and I can't wait to see them released.
dude!!!!! i loe em all, u know i already told u how much i apriciate whatu have done, i am loving all this awsoem redesings
really cool looking, AA has to be my favorite (besides LJ of course)
My Favorites are AA and Premonitioner just because they look so different from all the other versions i have seen of them.
UE what are you working on now? ^_^
not much tweaking the av skins and redoing some of my older ones that badly needed done
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/AA.jpg)
reworked the face, colour scheme and detailing
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/flesheaterv5.jpg)
changed the texture and messed with aspects still not 100% maybe its the hair
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/lordjay.jpg)
better more chain mail like texture on the armor, and messed with eh detailing on a more "powered up" apperance
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/spaceghost.jpg)
my old space ghost redone to fit on the vx space ghost
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/vxsuperman.jpg)
superman totally redone(nothing from past skins was reused) on the vx superman 2 mesh, i'm extremely happy with the way this came together
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/superman.jpg)
same skin transfered to ren's mesh, not totally sold on the hair
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/luthor.jpg)
after supes had to update luthor,and i've been watch a lot of TAS. used my second suit base( one that wasnt released) redid the shirt and tie and reworked the face to give a more cocky attitude
any feedback is more than welcome
For the most part these are really really great looking. I'm especially impressed with AA's face it's very distinctive, I also love the energy coming from Juancho's eyes.
The only thing thats bugging me is Luthor. His grin looks really unnatural. It seems very short and the angle looks really awkward.
i understand what podmar's saying about luthors face,,, i think the eyebrows could use a bit of work as well.
VXSuperman is incredible, probably one of oyur greatest skins. space ghost looks soo radical and your new art design is beyond comrepehension!
hmm i;ll see what i can do
Nice work man! Absolutely great!
Only things I would add would be to add some minor touchs to both your Renegade and VX version of Supes... on Vx's, you should add a shadow around the meshed hair... it looks kinda... fake without it. The Ren's Superman, as you mentioned, is off but that'd be fixed by just adding a small black brush aroung the edges to bring the hairline forward a bit... it looks like he's going bald, at least in that shot.
Man, where did all that come from?!
Great stuff, I've always loved your DC work but that Afghan Ant and LordJay are amazing, Afghan being my favorite out of this bunch.
Space Ghost looks awesome! I'm so putting him in-game finally.
And I love the "dark" AA look. Juan's texture is also much better.
I will have to agree with the Supermen and Luthor statements, though. But you'll fix those and then it will be solid gold.
Great work on my avatar. I'm a really lucky guy with lots of avas to chose from now.
whoa dude nice skins ult evil!
i love the skin textures man :thumbup:
Your work continues to amaze me man, absolutely awesome!
nothing major, fixed the hair and shadow on the two supes and reworked luthors smirk and eyebrows
(http://the.ultimate.evil.googlepages.com/tweaks.jpg)
I don't know if I mentioned this but I'm in love with that subtle texture you have going on with a lot of your skins, it gives them a lot depth. Very nice.
Looking good Evil. Wondering though, are ye trying to make Luthor have "wrinkles" in his head? The reason I ask, is that from both pics it seems there's are faint wrinklage on his forehead but their so faint and don't exactly fit with the raised eyebrow/smirk that I can't tell. If ye are trying for it, I'd say ye need to make 'em less faint and study how the forehead wrinkles when an eyeborw is raised. The best way that I've found is to sit in front of a mirror and try to recreate the facial expression with ye own face (sometimes ye have to overexaggerate the expression in RL so that it will fit the look ye looking for).
-DJ
the wrinkles are just a style choice to make the face not the bog standard base skin, its also something I've seen on a lot of artists version of lex, the wrinkles were skinned before i even started to tweak the facial features. thats why there faint just like there permanent rather than due to his expression
this guy was was meant to be done with the last batch, but i sorta forgot about him :blink:
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/catman.jpg)
Very very nice. The one thing I'd probably add is actual pouches for the belt through nifskope.
Cat-man-Awesome! i just read Villains united and secret six a friend loaned me recently, and i found Cat-man to be a great character. I agree with Podmark, some pouches (and even some knives and claws) could be added via Nifskope. which would reduce the Batman-ness of the mesh and make it a bit more unique.
Great work on the colours, they reflect his costume very well.
I really like Catman's brow. I dunno what it is. Anyhow looks good, of course. I'd add some shadow where the straps hit, though.
whoa dude!
i didn't know ultimate evil can skin!? :o
Looks good, everybody looves Catman.
I agree on the pouches and shadows around the straps.
Knives/claws would be a huge +.
Don't know if it's just me or if anything can be done about it but the hears look a little long and pointy very batmanesque
Excellent skin Evil...great work.
Just for funsies you could add the little smiley button :)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Six.PNG
Very good but, as mentioned before, the ears are too long. You could either try skoping on some from a golden age Batman mesh (Yellow Lantern's comes to mind) or go old school and hex the ears to a better size.

sadly the ears arnt skopable as they are part of the man body. you cant alter them
I love that you did Catman. :) You could just skope another body onto the mesh and add the ears so you will have the same cape and keyframes.
Yeah, it's actually super easy to do, I found out. But good luck finding the right ears. Personally I probably wouldn't bother.
As for the shadows... in my opinion anything that isn't a direct seam should have a shadow. If it is raised at all, in real life, it would give off a shadow. And actually, looking back I'd give his gloves and boots more shadow, too.
been working on this guy off and on over the past week or so, wanted to prove to myself i could do something without a base. who knew there would be so many bloody parts, and variations to this look :huh: i wasn't really going for any particular style or look of his, just to take what i thought worked and mix and match the looks
anyway done with nothing but a wire frame, my wacom and a lot of pain :lol:

i hate you, i hate you, i hate you... :banghead:

Does your "Evil" know no bounds? :lol: Optimus Prime is just outta sight man. :cool: Now stop "clowning" about and get back to work (cracks whip) I see that you probably have about 6 more meshes to skin. :rolleyes: :lol:
Looks phenomenal, as mentioned above, a big leap forward for you, UE, bu one critique or thought:
i've noticed on skins that when using dark lines and light lines to show detail/seams and edges, the light lines can o0ften look overbearing due to the high contrast (using the lightest light right next to the darkest dark). Others might disagree with me but the light red/pink lines look too pronounced. Would you consider reducing their opacity just to see if the slightly muted look makes for a skin that looks more like the 'real' Optimus and less like a toy of Optimus?
Of course thsi depends on what you use the skin for, if its to play with then the extreme contrast will serve you well when viewing the skin from a distance in teh rumble room. If this is more about making a well detailed skin for viewing, maybe try reducing the vividness of the lighter lines and see how that goes.
This opinion comes from my own experience, I have found that the contrast can look too sharp and is off putting. I am finding that a little bit with this skin, its got so much contrast its detail is drowned out.
Fantastic work UE! :cool:

Thanks for all the skins.
Wow! that's quite impressive! and all without a base skin too!
Detourne Me, your avi really hilarious. I caught the story behind it on the John Byrne Forum.

UE, that gun was an incredible looking teaser, but it in no way prepared me for how unbelievably cool Prime looks. That is really breathtaking work!
AWESOME!
BigD
TUE, you know what I thought previously and after the adjustment you really have hit this one out of the park.
Question though, is the texture on the basic or the refl tga?
nice prime :thumbup:
I don't normally comment on skins, but this really is superb, the colours are extremely vibrant and you've outdone yourself.

thanks, must have done something right

Fantastic work UE! :cool:
thanks, your kinda to blame for the time, got some inspiration :P

Ahh, I've been waiting for this ever since you previewed it that night on the chat shack. Fantastic skin TUE, as usual. Really nice work with the textures.
cheers mate, the metal textures took ages to get right

*rises mysteriously from the dead* I do however agree with Carravaggio on the contrast (and I always use high contrast on my monitor). Still, that won't stop me from stealing it from it's original kidnapper. ... dizzy...head hurts :hcboot *falls over. Dies. again.*
(And the FR community begins investigating whodunnit...?)
Thanks for all the skins.

Wow! that's quite impressive! and all without a base skin too!
thanks

UE, that gun was an incredible looking teaser, but it in no way prepared me for how unbelievably cool Prime looks. That is really breathtaking work!
thanks

TUE, you know what I thought previously and after the adjustment you really have hit this one out of the park.
Question though, is the texture on the basic or the refl tga?
thanks man, your original feedback really helped. do you mean the texture as in the skin or the texture as in the metal texture over it. either way both are on the standard tga's and then each part separate added to the refl tga and to get the right shine

I don't normally comment on skins, but this really is superb, the colours are extremely vibrant and you've outdone yourself.
thanks man for taking the time to comment
Quote from: Carravaggio on August 27, 2007, 06:16:11 PM
Looks phenomenal, as mentioned above, a big leap forward for you, UE, bu one critique or thought:
i've noticed on skins that when using dark lines and light lines to show detail/seams and edges, the light lines can o0ften look overbearing due to the high contrast (using the lightest light right next to the darkest dark). Others might disagree with me but the light red/pink lines look too pronounced. Would you consider reducing their opacity just to see if the slightly muted look makes for a skin that looks more like the 'real' Optimus and less like a toy of Optimus?
Of course thsi depends on what you use the skin for, if its to play with then the extreme contrast will serve you well when viewing the skin from a distance in teh rumble room. If this is more about making a well detailed skin for viewing, maybe try reducing the vividness of the lighter lines and see how that goes.
This opinion comes from my own experience, I have found that the contrast can look too sharp and is off putting. I am finding that a little bit with this skin, its got so much contrast its detail is drowned out.
I've give it a try, i don't play the game any more and only use my skins to show what skills i have in PS, and as an art form, the skins were not as pronounced but i felt that the blended to deeply and you lost them while viewing the skin, but i'll see if i can find a blance
thanks for the feedback guys.
Good Goddess that is an awesome skin of Optimus!
Your skinning talents have grown astronomically (sp?)! I'd love to see you do some more TF skins, but I can't wait to see what your next skin looks like. Keep it up UE! :thumbup:

trying to get my skinning method back after a load of real life style i decided to have a go at doing some of the FR av's
first i chose these cause each gave me a type of character to work with ie mage, villain, tech etc. plus these people have helped me with my skin work, also before some follow the newest trend on fr of jumping in with requests i wont be taking any i have a few more avs in mind but i will pick them
sorry to start like that just something i've been thinking about
anyway
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/avs1.jpg)
[spoiler]podmark, c6 and premonitioner[/spoiler]
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/avs2.jpg)
[spoiler]AA, flesheater and jun[/spoiler]
thanks again the jkc and cybersavior for helping with flesheater's skoping. and AA for permission to use his face on his av
this was done for fun any older FR members will remember my av used to wear jeans over his boots
(http://the.ultimate.evil.1982.googlepages.com/flesh2.jpg)
flesheater as been updated with new jeans, better textures and a new mask design
sad to say folk these are for :ffvstr: as a say a good 90% of my work now will be.
as always feedback of any kind is most welcome
im thinking about doing a skope with an energy axe.... but i need to make suere itsa possible... otherwise.. i can't wai for the release
p.s cyber guy, do you see a pattern with the av skins TUE has done? AA, C6, Prev, Pod, Juancho, IE. people that have heavily contributed to the community.....
just some updates of long over due stuff.
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/composite.jpg)
after re doing bats and supes might as well combine them. redid the skin and worked on the colours
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/adora.jpg)
total redo, new colours new texture, a skope to add to the character, i'm quite proud of the eyes(not sure if its visible) were done from scratch with my wacom
[spoiler](http://the.ultimate.evil.googlepages.com/adoratimeline.jpg)
just something i like doing if i've skinned a character multiple times[/spoiler]
and now for some out and out theft, i seen this in c6's thread and it got me thinking seeing as i cant decide what if any character to skin next so what of my skins badly needs an update.
Awsome Adora!! i looove it buddy, any plans on updateing the other skins you did for her, the hooded one and the Evil Adora????
and since now nifskopign has opened a new world of posibilities, what about the Princess of Power herself??? :D Pretty please????
The picture of composite superman is too large on your site.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is your He-man skin. Then again it's a moot point since all your skins at Gamma Patrol are no longer available. The stuff on your googlepages site is great (in my opinion), so I dunno.
Adora is just plain AWESOME! love what you've done with her, and adding the bangs was a great touch.
any word on when you'll be releasing Prime?
I love the update but if there was one thing I would change, I would make the skin tone on the face match the legs. Other than that I love the work on the boots.

I would vote for the Infinity War dopplegangers you did, I know how much you hate them now :lol:
The green of Composite Superman's skin bugs me a little. I'd probably try it with less white looking highlights. I'm not a fan of white highlights, personaly, but they've always felt especially wrong for flesh. Maybe try a bit of yellow or perhaps some blueish tinge? Maybe a bit more shadow to the Batman cowl too?
Adora's looking rad. It's sweet to see redone skins. You can tell how much people improved, which is awesome.

agreed on all accounts, i wasn't going the classic look the more recentl version seen in supes/bats comic. but i agree with what you say and will try and change the ideas
All of your skins look great UE ! Adora is stunning by the way... :wub:
Hope to collect more of your work in the future. :thumbup:
I love it when you show the progression of a skin over time, it's great seeing how things have improved :)
Cool skins but I finaly worked out what was bugging me about that comp supes/bat it's the texture on top of the blue. The Superman Returns type texture, never liked it.
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
ok enough of that, its with a bit of a sad feeling that i post this, but i'd rather say something than just stop. I've decided to wrap up the skinning. I'll be honest its to due with deciding to focus on other aspects of my art mainly my photography and illustration, I'm not finding time to balance all 3 so therefore sadly the lowest but in no way least priority has to go.
i dont know if i'll ever come back to skinning, but realistically i dont see it. I just want to say thanks all the feedback you guys have gave me over the years, you have helped me develop not only my skins but my art and skills over all. and to the friends i have made your guys have been a constant inspiration. there is too many to mention here but hopefully you know who you are.
they say always leave the dance with the one that brought you. so my first skin was flesheater, he should rightfully be my last.

so in ending, look after your selves, i love ya, thanks for coming, see ya later
Damnation! You and Podmark cannot commit these similar errors in the same week! :o
That is to say, good luck in your new focus, TUE. Goodness knows you have the talent to pursue it. :)

Phantom Bunburyist and The Prat in the Hat
I wish you the best in your refocusing of your energy into the things that you have the most passion for and at the same time I will miss your skins, but hope to see some of your new endeavors in the art section.
Good luck
Hey, what matters most is your doing what's important to you. Good luck. :)
And yeah, it would be just as cool if you could post your other artworks here.( It doesn't have to involve skinning.) ^_^
You had a great run. Thanks for sharing all that wonderful work!
Your work shall be missed! :(
Good luck!
That is so sad to hear, but good luck on your intentions ^_^, hopefully things will be better for you. :)
C6, If you're reading this, don't you dare stop skinning.
Man, just want to say, thank you for all the great work you've provided for this community over the past couple of years!
You and Podmark are both jerks! Now I can't leave these losers* without looking like a conformist! I hate you and you need to die.
Seriously though, have a good time man. Even if you don't skin, come back and post here, otherwise we'll all be sad and lonely... or something of that nature. Later man.
*I'm kidding :rolleyes:
I'm sad to see you hang it up, but at least it's for more art. Sometimes a fresh new medium is all you need.
Good luck with refocusing your creative energies my friend. You've been an amazing inspiration to me with the quailty and care that you put into your skins and your willingness to lend an ear and also help out your fellow artists. I'll miss your skins but I'd love to see anything else that you'll be working on because I know that it'll be frickin' sweet. :cool: :D
Geez it's been a bad week for skinners. Good luck with your art Evil.
Phooey! It sucks. :angry:
But, life goes on. Fly high my friend.
Dean my man, it is sad to see you leave the skining biz, but I totally understand you
Best of luck on whatever is you you want to focus this enegies!!!
I hope some day we´ll be seing more of this beutaful things called skins
It is really sad to see you go just when Pod and I both are going. I hope you stick around the boards. You've got a lot of experience that could help future skinners.
TUE, sorry to see you cease skinning, you've done some great work, for which, thanks.
Thanks for everything TUE, the Bat family section of the DCUG would be a good bit smaller without your work, my friend. I've always loved your style, and I'll definitely be sad to see you go! I hope you'll find yourself on the boards from time to time still. Good luck with your art, man!

[spoiler](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/random/preview.jpg)[/spoiler]
all my newest work now there for download at hero force
Thats a sick skin. I love your coloring style. Oh and nightwing is y favorite skin right now.
BEST VENOM SKIN!
Very nice! that colouring is fantastic!
AMAZING venom skin!, thats just insane
that goes for the rest of the skins too tho, great work.
Ohh man! So much great stuff there TUE! My favorite thing is that Scarecrow, though, he just looks so incredibly scary! He'd be great for a version that Batman and Robin would encounter while under the effects of his fear gas. I love the He-Man skins too!
Wow!
That is a perfect Venom skin
thanks guys wouldn't say perfect trust me, the mouth alone took me a good solid couple of hours lol

What hair is that on Nightwing?
Invincible looks so off with that pattern in his costume and his hair looks too straight. Highlights are great though.
Can you add the the green poison on his tounge too, so it can match with the venom fx? :rolleyes:

This would be a better question for a PM not Evil's skin thread.
On topic I really really love the Nightwing you have made. Keep up the great work bro :thumbup:
no i don't mind it being it better having it out in the open. simply put is i don't want to. the green Ooze was the decision of another skinner and i dont want to copy his/her artistic idea its bad enough people ranking the artists on this board against each other without making each artist go exactly the same route. this is my version of the character and i dont want slime around his mouth. plain and simple.
you want it use the skin by the artist who added it.
I understand, better of with another venom fx. :)
I have to say that the preview pic really doesn't do the skins justice. This time around though, my favorite is the bizarro skin. But I always appreciate your releases, the amount of detail is always really impressive.
That Nigthwing is so awesome! I really like the texture you used on Venom.

Yeah it's just that Invincible uses a flat colour scheme for the most part so seeing him with a pattern just looks so weird. It works fine as your version if thats the way you want to go.
well only cause its you :P, i've made the changes should update the zip when i load the new stuff up to the site

great stuff, as always friend. I love the highlights on spidey. Nice color choices, its really vibrant and fits with the game fx.
:thumbup: Great work!
thanks guys though i must admit my personal favs the face on power girl, took ages, lost a lot of details from when i dropped it back down from 2048x2048 to 512x512 and i'm still considering working on it

Spider Friends...Go For It!!!! Wow! They all look good...but I'm likin' Firestar especially!! Nice work! That's some Saturday Nestalgic goodness right there!!!
I have an altered mask from Ink's Star Sapphire which is a little smaller, if you're interested. It's specifically for Firestar, btw
Those look great, especially Firestar.
Yeah, I agree that Firestar is looking pretty good. Nice eyes, mouth. But there was a little something bugging me about her neckline, then I realized it. No shadow where her costume meets skin, so it ends up looking a touch flat.
Other than that, looking solid. New Spidey eyes? I like them.
:thumbup: give the man 5 star on that awesome work. :D
HE'S BACK! :thumbup: And even more evil than before! :P :lol: Great job TUE. :thumbup:
Very :panice
Finally a great looking Firestar you can play with using Freedom Force. :thumbup:
You really captured the look of the cartoon show. Just looking at that new spider-man skin, brings back a lot of memories. :rolleyes:
Thanks! Can't wait to add these in my UE skins collection. ^_^

And a very good Firestar looks ^_^
I used to love this show, when i saw those ausome skins :D,i remembered i watched it when i was little.Oh, yeah, I am going to third my own first request. Can you tell how excited i am?! :lol:
I love the way Firestar came out and you already know what I think of Spidey and Iceman. :thumbup:
they're up on HF
Thanks for the upload. By the way,i saw your iceman up close and it looks very cool together with ink's classic iceman mesh, just needed to hide the gloves, belt,and boot cuffs. :)
I'm just having a small problem with the hexed mesh of firestar. Is it converted already for FFVT3R? Everytime i try to convert it i get an error message. If i don't convert it, all i see is a pink shadow of the mesh. I don't know, maybe i'm using the wrong keyframes for it. What keyframes would you recommend for it?
i like ips's fire kf's
I tried it again and figured out what i did wrong. :doh: (that's what you get when you haven't downloaded FF stuff for a while. ^_^)
Firestar looks great. Although sometimes the mask appears uneven such that i can see her left eyebrow. :P
Thanks herodad1 for recommending ips's fire keyframes. It's a good combination. I liked the cut scene and idle animation. :) One very small thing i noticed though in the "flailing forward" animation, Firestar's mask becomes transparent.
I'm having a hard time getting HF up, my computer(s) were down all week and i did not get a chance to download these, so, would anyone mind sending them to me. DocDelorean88@hotmail.com

When i try to load the site it says,
Internet explorer can not display web page
Most likely casues,
Not connected to the internet,(but i am since i am on this site)
Website is encountering problems,
Might be typing error in adress, which is unlikely since i'm linking streight from your tag or link thing at the bottom of your posts)
My appologies if i am the only one expieriencing problems, it may be my computers which wouldn't be a suprise after the problems we've had with them in the past.

Just a thoght :thinkingidea for iceman, would it be possible to see a version with those green eyes he had? If it will look to random than leave it the way it is, but those eyes really use to

i blame prem
UHHHH.......DAMN! :blink: Thats hot! I don't even like Spawn...what's up with that! :blink: :thumbup:
Niiice! My only complain might be that the eyes look a little too...drawn? They just don't seem to fit with the rest of the skin. Great work otherwise.
WOW!
Need I say more?
Perfection to the highest level

i blame prem
Wha the 'ell?!?!?!?! Ye doing things Prem is telling ye to do...oh what has the world come too!!! Great skin ,though, the lines on his chest seem a bit..blurry to me.
Nice texturing! I agree that the chest lines are kind of blurry, but I think that might be a mesh problem? I know this mesh is like, seven years old, so...
The textures might not map on it as well or something. Or not, idk..
Nice work, though. :)
seven...years old? two at most, FF. :P
Also, stop blaming me for everything! While it's true that this world would be much better under my thumb, I did not a thing to force you to do anything. I didn't even threaten to destroy your soul and make you DJ's roommate! With that said, I think it's a good skin. I already gave you my full thoughts so I wont reiterate. :P
I actually don't think it is very blur if at all. Especially considering in-game no one will see it that close. I love texture work especially on the black. The only problem I think I see is the eyes look cut-out maybe blur the line between the mask and the eyes a little and it will help with that.
very nice work as always
finally something new to post in here, so sit down yeah that inculdes you at the back eyeing the exit, :angry: what you think i was gonna let them other two at HF hog all the spotlight

seriously who did not see this coming from me, after a load of work and a lot of pestering(cheers guys) i can say i'm happy with him, that is untill another laternate version comes along i've got to redo him, i mean com on joker, hordak and green goblin how many times have i skinned these buggers i just don't understand... sorry
anyway again no base just a wire frame and a tablet. my brain hurts[/spoiler]
so as usual feedback of all kinds is welcome
Well I think I found my new favorite Joker :)
I will be taking all of these when they are at HF. Thank you for the great skins and I think this was a great come back :)
Ultimate Dorkvil, your Joker looks better than the first version you showed me. All the other skins suck. Yay for a new Scorpion though. :P
*for those unable to tell when I'm joking, this is one of those times. ^^*
Looks absolutely great! Would you by chance happen to have any interest in skinning a Slimer to accompany Mr. Staypuffed? And, i really like your joker, i just wish it was the heath version!
excellent work.want that dr light.i wish we had a new scorpion mesh(not knocking what we have) that had better kfs.more tail attack action.good work dude.
Terrible, terrible skins UE. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to resign from HF. Post haste.
I especially hate Omni-man. Look at him standing there, with his cool highlights and nicely trimmed mustache, thinking he's a good skin. Well he's not!!
I also Stay puff is just cool.
I especially like that Joker. I don't recognize the mesh though.

going by memory: It's Gren's Male_suit_2 and part of one of Ink's Beasts...or that's what I remember.
*waits to be proven incorrect ^^*
Once again you have proven yourself to be an absolute master of cloth work, the bib (?) on Staypuff and the joker's suit are brilliant. I'd have to say Dr Light and Omniman are my favourites, the subtle texture you used on light's costume is very unique and the darkness around his eyes gives him that burnt out, dangerous look.
Omni man is just very, very tight, solid highlights and crisp detail, one of your most striking works to date.
I'm not familiar with this version of the scorpion...are the eyes mapped separately as is the case on Beyonder's male muscular meshes?
I would suggest trying, if you are so inclined, additional, lighter lines under the dark lines. Where you have light lines above the dark lines on Scorpion's suit, I have found a second line underneath can look very effective, albeit at a lesser opacity.
Nice work all round :) very much looking forward to trouncing that Dr. Light in the rumble room.
what joker mesh is that?
:thumbup: Great skopes Evil. :D :D
Is Dr Light on a VX mesh?
Cool stuff all round. :thumbup:
Wow! No faults there, as always. Lovely Doc Light :D
Great stuff!
Joker and dr.light are my favs.
Great skins. I really like Doctor Light a lot. The Joker looks slightly effeminate, which is the way I always pictured the Joker, so I really like it. The details on the Scorpion's mask, like the shading/highlights/seams of the green emblem, is really good.
That Joker looks great. The face is fantastic. Stay Puft's too.
Scorpion though... I think that's where he goes wrong. There's something about the eyes, the mouth... it doesn't work for me. The mouth in particular looks like it's pasted on. Lack of lips helps this effect. Overall it feels to me like you weren't thrilled with doing this skin and so didn't bother putting the level of detail you usually do into it.
Great stuff.
My Fave? Dr.Light. He's never been captured so well.
I agree about the Scorpions mouth, it seems a little too cartoon-y, which in itself isn't a bad thing, but contrasts the style used on the rest of the face, so looks a bit odd. Still millions of miles better than my version though.
Joker is excellent, so many nice details.
:thumbup: all look great and Dr Light is my favorite also
Actually I took a second look at Scorpion, and there are some problems there. Eyse seem too large, mouth looks pasted on. But the costume looks off too. The green part around the waist looks very flat and kinda drawn on. and the lines seem off somehow. Are they matched with the body colour changes? Also where the six pact is there seems to be a gap between the light and dark lines where you can see the body. That shouldn't be.
That Joker skin looks great! I love the detail on the face.
It is weird for me to look at these. I think Joker is great as well as Stay Puff but the others look rushed. Especially Scorpion. His face looks off to me.
i agree 110% with scorpion but how do you mean with light and omni
hey UE did I skope joker? if so
could you e-mail it to me I lost all my data

I think it might be how simple they look comparatively to Joker and Stay Puff. When looking at Joker you can easily see the progress and time and Stay Puff is so clean polished. I guess with Light it is the face. There is something that is off, like it is over saturated or you used the burn tool on highlight instead of midtones. Looking at Omni again he actually looks really clean too.

your not the first to comment on lights face i will admit i was going for the creepy rapist look on identity crisis, though it could be tweaked. i think it due to all of them with the exception of joker having very basic simple costumes, you've now got me thinking.
tweaks to both scorpion and light's faces

Is Scorpian's face green? :huh:
Good good, Dr Light looks much better now :)
Quote from: Podmark on September 12, 2008, 10:31:17 PM
Is Scorpian's face green? :huh:
it is in parts of the animated series
I vaguely remember the green-faced Scorpion in the cartoon ... he gets a power boost and goes feral, no?
Anyway, those tweaked skins looks nice :thumbup:
I like that Dr. Light TUE, I think the second face is an improvement. That expression is perfect.
wow that joker is awesome! we gotta wait until they are at HF to get those, rite?
yeah finally got around to it all now available at hero force

Awesome! I definitely want that Dr. Light! I also want to check out that Joker. He looks pretty neat. :D
Bulleye look good. :thumbup:
Well it is a very nice Bullseye skin. Admittedly I couldn't remember if you previewed it before or not.
Your Bullseye skin looks great UE. Well, all of your skins always do. :rolleyes:
They probably just downloaded them all already. You know, download first. Play. And then ask questions later. :P
Your skins never disappoint. Great stuff all around.
ok i've been trying to get my site finished, so this is why i haven't really skinned anything in over a month, so here's the idea these 15 characters are the one i'm planning on doing next but i need a starting point
so which one
[spoiler](http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c185/the_ultimate_evil/random/preview.jpg)
what you expected it to be just plain images from me[/spoiler]
I can make out green goblin and hobgoblin. I think. Those would be good.
Is that a Sentinel in there?
I can see Deathstroke in there too!
Wolverine & Martian Manhunter! :-)
oooh I choose the wonderchick
my guesses :
sentinel, ?????, Martian manhunter, she hulk ,wolvie
hobgob, ?????, ???????, judge dredd, osborn
????, one of the wondergals, slade, penguin or zatana , ???
Dredd?
yea judge dredd

i'm still hoping someone will make/release a batman dark knight(movie) skin
I think the last panel is Sinestro.
And I think the second one, top row is a Stormtrooper.

Hmm...A Sinestro would also be very awesome!
