SEE LAST POST FOR UPDATE
I think it's safe to say that I'm a Green Lantern fan boy! But I don't think I've been this excited about an event(Sinestro Corps) since......hmmm.....well..... I'm too tired to think. Well here's my first Sinestro Corps pack. Most the characters are just custom made. I am going to try and learn nikskoping before I release these so I can do things like add Lantern animations and yellow auras and yellow rings.

wow ... great skin!!! excellent work on the face.
I gotta agree, very nice work on his face there.
thanks guys, I used C6's base and completely went to school on the head, wish it could have matched the body though. Hopefully I'll find my groove soon.
Hey murs, I remember you! Good to see you skinning again.
i don't know who u are but man sinestro looks awsome!

Hey Pod! Thanks, it feels good to do it again. Found a break between school and work, hopefully I'll get some more out real soon.

Dang, man, this is a good skin! Hey, maybe you could give me some pointers on my Amon Sur skin...?
I may not know who you are, but I like your work ;) top notch ^_^ looking forward to seeing more
Welcome back Murs. Sinestro looks Viscious. I love it. As for Winter Soldier, I believe that someone was creating a mesh via NifSkope, so if you do a search in the forums, you may be able to find it, or hopefully the 'skoper will find you. Again, welcome back.
someone did a great Winter Soldier on the Solid Snake mesh... kksaints, maybe?

was it a hex on the solid snake mesh or a skin?
it was a skin on the hexed mesh.
Yeah, that's a nice couple of skins there...
I like your use of colour. It's varied in tone, but subtley. Not overblown like I usually do. Very nice.
Winter Soldier would look pretty cool on the Punisher_GREN mesh.

Well your names is familiar, but I must have a bad memory...@_@ went to check out your old skins to see if they'd jog it but your yahoo group seems to be deaded, any chance of posying some pics of your older stuff? :)
Nice skins there and welcome back.

here you go Unfluffy, these are the only ones i could find meshes for at the moment.
I did Bendis' Secret War skins as well, Cable, and a few others.

If you still haven't found that Winter Soldier hexxed mesh, talk to USAgent. I send everyone to him when it comes to Marvel characters. I believe that he has a hero file for the mesh, so he should have the mesh itself.
Whoah, Murs, those skins are nice. I agree with UnkoMan's analysis of your tonal work. Its different somehow, but it looks so smooth..or something.
Nice!

Awesome winter soldier, and that Deadpool is superb.
Nice skins murs47, especially Deadpool and Winter Soldier. :thumbup: I hope you can do an astonishing Cyclops too.j/k :)
theres a snake mesh? where? and nice deadpool murs :thumbup:
Well, bad news for me, school decided to go into overdrive and is kicking me out of skinning once again :(
I had plans of doing a whole Young Avengers pack but I'll be putting that on hold. I'll just release Patriot. I've got Speed done, but someone just released theirs. I'd feel like it would be a slap to their face to release mine at the same time. But eventually I will release it. I'll still be doing some skinning, but I cut my to-do-list by 75% Well here's Patriot:

I created a tile, rendered it, then copied and pasted it a few times, turned it into a pattern, filled my selection area with it, changed the layer to soft light, then finally desaturated it.
and thank you for the comment :thumbup:
I'm putting the Young Avengers on hold until summer :( but I will finish them eventually.
see first post for update
OMG!! Wow, those skins are amazing. I've never seen anything like them before. It's like characters out of a completely different computer game! Incredible work all round
It mirrors some characters from the Green Lantern Corps. and its brilliant......my fav is the woman......she looks so scary and intimidating. I can't wait to see more! :thumbup:
Those skins are AWESOME!!
Any way you would consider releasing them as is now and later with your intended aura's?
Thanks!!
Yeaaaah buddy. They all manage to look totally unique (in costume) but still maintain a semblance of a uniform. I'm paticularly impressed with the scarred fella and the green lizard guy. They're all very nice, though.

hey thanks, the scarred guy is my personal favorite as well. The lizard guy is Arkillo, he's he equivalent of Kilowag to the Sinestro Corps. I beleive he's only appeared in issue #15 of Green Lantern.

I think C6(or was it AfghanAnt, I'm not sure) did an outstanding Astonishing Cyclops. I remember either seeing it on gammapatrol or heroforce. They're both down now though, but you can check C6's yahoo groups. It could be there.
re: astonishing cyclops, it was C6 on the Solar mesh ... I use those Astonishing X-Men skins a lot in the Danger Room.
here's a few new Sinestro Corps guys I created:
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7255/sincorps2az1.jpg)
I tried nifskoping but its a bit complicated for me, so I'm just releasing all the other Sinestro Corps skins as well. I got a few Green Lantern Corps skins as well, just fine tuning them and I'll be posting them within a couple days as well.
:eek2:
Those are fantastic. Great job.
Yeah those are impressive! I had no idea you are using a base for the bodies. The face skinning is great!
All the guys look great!

Thanks for the comments everyone :D
whoa a four eyes alien dude!
Every single new skin I see from you seems to be an improvement. And really, you were already good enough. Can't wait until next week when blow even this awesome stuff out of the water.
Who's the supermanish dude? Is that CSA's Ultraman?
if im right it should be the Cyborg Superman......he is part of the Sinestro Corps.

But, I may just do Cyborg Superman...and a Manhunter. ;)

I don't know who he is but I love the guy with the tribal patterns and red skin. He reminds me of my character Solar Flare.
Excellent work!
Thanks guys, hopefully I can keep up the good work.
Lunarman, the red guy is just some guy I made up for the Sinestro Corps, I was originally going to make him a Green Lantern, but he started looking to evil.
I know, I know....you shouldn't judge a person by his/hers appearance. :P
I know I already posted in your thread murs47, but you keep making these awesome looking skins, so it's your own fault! :)
I like them all, the red guy, the blue one, the dark one, even the spotty one... :)

Back to skinning comments - I'll have you know you are personally responsible for me having to move up my archiving new FF skins. I normally only do it about once every other month. But all these new GL and Sinestro Corps skins are
must saves. Sigh - more CD/DVD's to buy ...
Thanks!!!
wow I was really blown away by the Sinestro Corps skins. I'm also quite excited for their storyline debut soon, but I have a few questions about the skins. 1, I can't find Karu-Sil to download, 2, I cant find the JStuart modern plain mesh, and 3, what keyframe is compatable with all these guys.
thanks and keep up the great work!

thanks for pointing that out. I just uploaded her.
the john stewart modern plain mesh can be found at one of Renegade's yahoo groups, I'm not sure which one though http://www.venustechstudios.com/FreedomForce/ff-mesh-site.htm (http://www.venustechstudios.com/FreedomForce/ff-mesh-site.htm)
I'm trying to find all the links to the meshes that I used and creating a read_me.txt, so expect that soon, but your best thing to do is to search the master mesh list for the original meshes so you can get the keyframes, sorry about that dude.
These look great. Are Isamot-Kol and Soranik Natu uploaded yet? I was able to take the updated Cable off my "getting up to date" thread, too. Thanks!
Edit : I noticed the Cable on the Yahoo Group is not the one on the googlepage - is the newer Cable from the googlepage someplace else?
Nope, none of them are uploaded yet......I didn't think anybody would catch that I made additions to my site........stupid me :banghead:.
I'm in the process of tracking where I got the meshes from so it's easier for people to find them. I believe some of the meshes I had to request from other members so I might just upload them onto my group as well.
I'll let you know when I upload the files.....I'm hoping within a few hours.
Thanks - take your time. Great work you've got going on.

The most unlikliest of duos Cable and Deadpool. I didn't skin the weapons, I just let the meshes' standards define those.

I'm having trouble trying to figure this out and any help would be very appreciated.
Ink did an Arisia mesh a while back. I am unsure if its on a yahoo group
you might be able to get away with stealing a headdress off of a scarlet witch mesh to use for Boodikka.

The wait is killing me too :wacko:
I just read an interview today from Geoff Johns and I guess he's had this planned for a very long time.
He compares his Sinestro Corps arc to "The Empire Strikes Back," with things going very, very bad for the GLC. GL: Rebirth was his version of "A New Hope" and he eventually wants to do a "Return of the Jedi" for the GLC.
Looks like this event will have some lasting ramifications and it won't be just be a one and done deal for the Sinestro Corps......they are here to stay! <----pure speculation
Boodikka of the Green Lantern Corps and some weird little crazy alien Sinestro Corps member

I forgot about Speed, I'll show him once I do the rest of YA, which is soon.
First of all, your skins are great! :thumbup: Some of the best I've ever seen, and there are quite a few top notch meshers and skinners out there. I hope I'm not going to come off as pushy, but I have a thread which lists characters that either don't have skins or are not quite up to date found here :
http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=41213.0 (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=41213.0)
Thanks to the hard work of many posters, the list has shrunk and I removed many off the original list. There are still about 18 on the list. All the characters on the list are from the mainstream DC and Marvel Universes, and come from some of the more popular ongoing comics. There are some that are being worked on by other skinners (such as rockslide who is being worked on by Podmark - another talented skinner). You seem to be right up to date with your comic reading, and are clearly very talented. Any chance you might take a quick peak, and see if there are any you might be interested in? :D And BTW, I also read GL and GL Corps, and the Sinestro Corps thing is pretty cool.
Small update. I'm taking a small break from my GL and SC skins to branch out a little. Well here's Ars....uhm, I mean Red Arrow :P

Very nice. I thought it was a nice move by DC to "upgrade" Roy.
I've got to say, Your skins are nice dude. Your choices of color, the quality of your outlines, and just the overall style of the characters are outstanding.
One thing that I would work on, which would make them even nicer, is adding an extra highlight layer. You seem to be just adding a colorize layer or manually adjusting color for each section, which is ok in your case, because again, your color choices are pretty good to begin with. However, I've found that adding that extra highlighting layer helps give your skins that extra pop of brightness, and even to help individualize skins.

Hey Tomato,
Thanks for the input. I have actually thought of adding some stronger highlights to my skins, but I feel like the dull colors that I use would overshadowed by the highlights. I didn't think of adding highlights through use of a new layer either. I usually just bring them out with the levels command or curves command. I'll give your technique a whirl and see if it's fitting. I'm glad you like my skins regardless though. Back to more experimenting, and thanks to you, more things to try out. Thanks.

I havent seen a new BL skin, but I for one would love to see one.
Well, consider it on my "immediate" to-do-list.
I think Rev and Kssaints both did an updated black lightning skin.
Here's Black Lightning, did I mention I'm really liking Meltzer's run on JLA? Expect another JLA skin or two, not sure who I'm going to do though. Hope you guys like it.

I'd just like to say that I'm enjoying your GLC and SC skins very much M. One question though: Isn't Amon Sur's costume grey and blue like Sinestro's original colour scheme?
Yeah, he originally had it. My hypothesis is that the purple and black scheme is for new recruits. I do have him skinned in that uniform as well. I should probably post it. Here he is in his yellow and black uniform down at the bottom left corner.
Good Lord, this storyline CANNOT GET HERE FAST ENOUGH.your skins are making me even more excited for it!
O k as an "ancient" GL fan...
when is this supposed to come out?
Black Lightning looks amazing M. I hope you do some more JLA skins, especially Vixen and Red Tornado.

Yeah I was on Teknoskinnerz, I totally forgot. Is that site still around? I'm glad you like the skins.
The Sinestro Corps one-shot issue is out sometime this month. Green Lantern Corps has been a victim of one of the Sinestro Corps members known as Despotelis the past 2-3 issues. And, Green Lantern 18, 19, and 20 have had back up stories for other Sinestro Corps members. Thanks for the comments

The current run on JL is one of those things... If you just hear about it, you think "Black Lightning? RED Arrow? LoSH? are these people on drugs?" but once you sit down and read it, you realize that it is a great title.
Anyway, back to skin critiquing nonsense... I really like the work on Black lightning. As always, the facework is spot on, and it's a genuinely good skin.
I do have a few things though... it might just be because he's up against that black background, but the dark blue areas look a bit too... faded. Maybe up the contrast on them just a bit, and darken them a little.
The other thing is something I notice because I had someone get on me about it awhile ago... I don't know why C6 did this, but his male bases... they're oddly gender-less, is all I'm going to say.

If you haven't read Countdown #47 and don't want any of it ruined for you, don't click the spoiler.

I soon as I read the issue I just had to skin her. I couldn't really find a suitable mesh so I just went with one that had less distortion in the upper region area. If someone knows of a better mesh I'd re-do the skin.
[/spoiler]
Eh, it's not so bad. All you need really is to hex on a little skirt.
That lightning bolt looks real nice. You done good, despite setbacks. Oh female meshes, why do you mock us with your chestial distortion?
lol awesome. When I saw that I was thinking of skinning it too, but you've done a great job with it. However, it does need a skirt, and I'm not big on the hair. Looks too standard.
Your best bet would be to use nifskope (or make a nifskope request to someone). Your worried about distortion so I'd suggest either a vx female mesh or Tom's tf_fingerless, add on a skirt (or you could skin it on) from probably either a tfv mesh or Fusion's Supergirl (can anyone think of any other good skirts?) and then some hair. I suggest hair from an Ink mesh, maybe his Rogue.
Otherwise it's looking great. I'm really glad somebody skinned that look so quickly.
nice work, agreed it needs a skirt, try using one of ink's women for better hair, also i believe you've got the bolt wrong

it's just that scene that has the white in the middle of the bolt....the rest of the panels it was all yellow including the cover. But I'm sure next week's issue will solidify what the costume will be.
.....I don't know how to 'skope guys :(
Hey Murs ... do you take DC requests (although you're probably flat out with your GL stuff)? If so, would you ever have a bash at this character:
Scandal

I think it'd suit your clean, detailed style, and I don't think anyone skinned it yet.

Yeah, it's the preview pic. I tried blending Reddy in with the background and it looks like I went to far in the head region but I assure it's just as bright as the other yellow.
I really wish he could have kept his human form, it would have been fun seeing him adapting to having real emotions and everything. Oh well.
Yeah I agree, I was disappointed when he had to give it up, but at the same time I was happy because it meant there was virtually no chance he could die.

Here are Johnny Quick and Deadstroke. I guess that's his name, they really didn't say in the Superman/Batman Annual. The weapons and accessories are just a re-coloring of the standard that came with the mesh. So credit goes to who did those.
Cool stuff. I find the Deadstroke design kinda plain, but that's not your fault.

Actually me and Afghan Ant teamed up and co-skinned the all four Deadly Genesis X-Men. Though like almost everything from the GPL they are (say it with me everyone) not online anymore.
Thats looking really great Murs. The belt is missing the X buckle but otherwise it's really nice. The face looks great, and I like the hair. If it was me I'd go with a brighter costume, but I know thats your style so thats cool.
You should do his Emperor look!

I thought of putting the X-buckle in there but I think I based it off a more recent issue of uncanny right before he gets his shiar uni......
I'm willing to do a Emperor one, just need the right mesh. I'm sure he'll get one eventually since he looks like he's going to become a major player in the X-Universe.
Did you have a hero file for your Vulcan skin's? I know he's an omega level mutant but seem to always make my characters a little too strong.....thank goodness for USAgent's hero files.
Did you do Darwin also? I'd love to have that skin.
Thanks for the comments guys
I think we had hero files, AA made them, I'll have to check though.
We did Vulcan, Darwin, Sway and Petra.
I'll have to talk to AA about rereleasing them.
Mur, I'm going to look into Skoping a Lord Vulcan mesh for you to skin.

I think he did the one right before he becomes Emperor. It's similar to this one but it has a white cap and some sort of Shi'ar emblem on the chest. The emperor version of him has a headdress and some weird chitinous armor thing going on.

If you want to read about him, pick up X-Men: Deadly Genesis. Some think it had a great start but ended poorly, I agree with the first part of that but it didn't end poorly in my view....just not as strong as it started, still good though.

Yup, those highlights on the blue parts of the seams are little too dull, even for my liking. Thanks for pointing it out. Sometimes I take my desire for subtlety a little too far with my skins :banghead:
Nice, you are really making great skins of current affairs, so I couldent be happier. Especially the justice league stuff...
Ok Murs, I've taken a close look at the Lord Vulcan design. I can't promise I'll get that crown prefect but otherwise it should be pretty easy to put together.
It's basically:
male_basic
cape that goes around neck
and Shiar crown
The armor is all close fitting so it only needs to be skinned on.

Sounds really good, hope it works out. Skinning on the armor will be challenging but hopefully I'll get it right and he'll look very menacing.
Yeah I was looking at that armor, it's pretty complex.

Wow, Murs...that's a cool collection of bart skins. I especially like the kid flash skin.
Poor Bart RIP
I miss Bart alreay :(
Pretty good work there Murs, however I'm not convinced with the faces. It's kinda a small pic so I can see them prefectly but Bart was a very lighthearted and happy kid so the Impulse skin at least should be smiling, probably the Kid-Flash one as well. I didn't read enough of Bart's Flash exploits so I'm not sure if he should be smiling or not, but the yellow eyes look really weird from here, did he normally look like that?
Otherwise they're looking really good.

He's smirking in the Impulse skin, but yeah, it's a small preview pic so you can't really tell. As Flash his eyes would glow yellow when he was tapping into the Speed Force. I decided to add that effect cause otherwise it would just look like a Wally skin except with brown eyes.
Maybe, I'll do a big smile with Impulse, then a smirk with Kid Flash.
Isn't crazy how we watched this character to grow throughout the years......now he's gone. :(
Off topic:
But we all know he's just gone for now until someone decides he needs to be brought back in with a new tude and stuff. -_-

Well yeah, eventually he'll probably be back, but I'm not going to be holding my breath. DC's running a pretty tight reign on their stories for the last few years so I haven't serious doubts we'll be seeing a quickie resurrection.
Actually if someone can think of many significant characters in DC who have been resurrected in the last 5 years, who were dead for less than 5 (ie Todd and Jordan don't count) I'll be surprised. Troy doesn't count either because her resurrection was hinted at in her death issue.
Murs yeah I'd go with the big smile and smirk. It'd be more Bart like. I'm not big on the yellow glow but I totally understand why you did that. For a while I was thinking of skinning a Bart Flash skin but couldn't think of a way to differentiate him from Wally so gave up.
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3794/basj0.jpg)
Just 3 very small updates to the skins. Gave Imp a cheesing smile, Kid Flash a slight smirk, and I forgot to skin the the bottom of Flash's boots. The updated skins are already uploaded to my group as well.
My guess is Raven, she was resurrected in one of the first issues of TT(volume 3). That's exactly five years ago...I think. Can't think of anyone else though. I love trivia questions....even though I get them wrong, it's still fun.
Nice work, I like those much better.
Yeah Raven's a good one, though you could potentially give her the "mystical entity get out of jail free card". I'd have to look into how she died to be sure though.
Bart was beaten to death while cut off from the speed force, there's no obvious loopholes in that.

I don't know if you read JLA#10 yet so I'll put this in spoilers.
[spoiler]When the LSH bring back Wally to earth, they also brought someone back to life and took him/her to the future with them. Brainiac says " we got who we wanted" while staring at the lightning rod which has someone either in it, or it's a reflection of that person. I'm hoping it's Bart. (fingers crossed)[/spoiler]

Quote from: ips on June 27, 2007, 02:02:55 PM
hey murs,
i think you're off to a great start with your flash skins but i have to suggest revisiting the colours. the red is so muted it's brownish and rust coloured. your yellow needs some saturation enhancement also. try sampling the colours right off a comic scan. it's faster.
otherwise these could really kick some butt.
Yeah....I have to agree. You're colors are definitely on the dark side. Lighten up man! :lol: ;)
I've been trying to see what you guys are saying about my muddled colors and I finally remembered that I calibrated my monitor for PANTONE colors a long time ago for school and work.
I went on my other comp(which isn't calibrated) and it's a huge difference on some of the colors. I could finally see what you were saying about the red being brownish. I will have to disagree on the yellow somewhat....it could use some slight brightening but nothing as substantial as the red.
Basically with my monitor being calibrated some colors seem more saturated then what they would be on other monitors. I'll be checking out my skins on my other comp to see what color hues are effected the most. From what I can see so far......Reds are looking like rust, Greens like dying grass, and Blues like grays. The main 3 colors of the RGB color spectrum. The skin tones and yellow seem fine so far.
You guys have pointed this out many times, and thank you for it. But why the heck didn't this click in my head until now? :doh:
I'll probably be posting a lot more WIP's now
I'm going to agree with IPS. A little red in the shadows does enhance the yellow colours.
I've noticed on you're guys' skins that the shadows in your yellow has an orangish-yellow hue instead of that yellowish-brownish hue that I have, how do you guys do it?
I've tried many different layer types and style all though way to level, curve and hue/sat. commands but I can't figure it out. The only thing that comes to mind is doing it manually with the brush but that would very tedious.
Thanks a lot for all your help IPS. :thumbup: I don't think I'll be changing my calibration but I will just bump up the saturation levels of the colors I'm using to compensate. Thanks again.

Ugliest costume ever........I'm not too happy with the shoulder pads, but I worked with what I had.
Wonderful work Murs! Ive collected all your Sinestro and Green Lantern corps skins and am still amazed that you are able to create so many good skins.
Are you gonna try doing Sinestro Corps versions of Anti-Monitor, Cyborg Superman, New Parralax (Kyle rayner) or any of the 89 (someone counted it) new Sinestro Corps members shown?

Why thank you very much Ghaz :)
To answer your question yes....eventually. Henshaw will take sometime to do, Parallax will require a new mesh or a skoped mesh....I don't know how to do either. As for Anti-Monitor, is there a mesh for him?
I will also be trying my hand at some of the Green Lantern's in the book such as Graf Toren. I will attempt to do some more Sinestro Corps member from the issue, but a lot of them are so funky that there is no fitting mesh for them. So yeah, I'll be shooting for everything.
I wish they spotlighted Arkillo a little more in the one-shot.
I think Tommy has an AntiMonitor mesh on his site.
Superboy Prime looks pretty good. The yellow lines going into the symbol, are they supposed to be cords? They look really flat.
Yeah they're supposed to be straps......a brighter yellow then the SC yellow as well. So many clashing colors with his new costume, I think that's why I don't like it. :thumbdown:
He is totally owning me in the Rumble Room though :o
I'm contemplating just making an alternate color coordinated version of him for fun though.
(http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/727/glmp0.jpg)
Here's some new GLs......I've had these for a while but the Sinestro Corps are whipping me in the rumble room so I thought I give the GLC some help.
Here's a WIP for Hank Henshaw:
(http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/8783/wipny7.jpg)
I'm not sure if I should skin the Superman symbol or the Sinestro Corps symbol on his chest. Still plenty of work to be done besides that anyways; I'll just save it for last.
Man, you can never have too many Green Lanterns. An henshaw looks like its gonna be great.
Quick question though, are you gonna try making a version of the new Manhunters? I tried creating a male_basic with a flip up face to represent their power battery-in-the-head ability but I failed. :doh:
I'm thinking about it, I really liked the redesign they got at the beginning of the Green Lantern relaunch, which DC has stuck with.
That would have been cool if you pulled off that face-flip thing.
I think the Manhunters are going to be powered by yellow fear rather then green willpower. This will allow them to have a direct power source and not allow them to rely on the enemy (GLC) so much. Just a theory.

Your face work astonishes me Murs. Cyborg Superman is looking very promising.
Thanks Pod, wish I could pull off young looking faces like you . That's one of the great things about your New X-Men skins, you really catch the essence of the characters. Especially Hellion....he looks dead on.
One question though.......how's the red looking for Cyborg Superman? Is it saturated enough or is it still looking a little brownish like my usual reds? (ignore the red cape it's just a place holder)
I think it looks ok, but I don't really have a great reference pic handy.
here's another WIP for Cyborg Superman:
(http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/248/wipcw3.jpg)
I've just got some more work to do on the robotics and then it should be ready for release. Unless someone points out something I'm totally missing.
Wow that is super cool
love the robot parts man :thumbup:
Vrey Nice Work! The details are exceptional!
Looks Great! but what about yellow rings? and also you might want to change the hair on the head. It needs a spit curl like superman. Just my two cents. AWESOME WORK.
Cyborg Superman looks cool. :thumbup:
QuoteLooks Great! but what about yellow rings? and also you might want to change the hair on the head. It needs a spit curl like superman.
That's why its called a WIP.
What about Cyborg's nose? I've checked, and his new body has a nose. But on the other side your
version looks better than DC version, so you shouldn't add it. Sorry for my bad English. BTW. Can we
expect new Parallax from you? Thanks for aversome skins!!
The new Parallax is on my list and someone is looking into 'skoping me a proper mesh......but we'll see.
Thanks for the comments everyone
Well, now Murs, going back a bit in your thread...
I wasn't getting the images of your first 6 GLs before, but the guy in black, the SC with the red skin and tattoos, and the woman in the hood look incredible.
Nice changes to Bart.
Cyborg Superman looks great so far. Is that Ren's Superman mesh? If so, forget my other message. I have that 1. Can't wait to see it up close. (Although the S shield looks really good, I hope you do plan to make 1 with the SC emblem. I really liked how they incorporated that into the "diamond." Once you get the those yellow rings, I bet this is going to go down as 1 of your best skins.
Also, as far as the red goes, it looks very red to me. However, I may not be the best judge as my PC is set to a high contrast level. Still, I always enjoy seeing what you have in store for us. You never disappoint.
:D

Indeed it is REN's awesome superman mesh. I'm going to experiment with the chest a bit further(try out the SC symbol.) I'll keep you updated.
can't wait to get to used that Cyborg Superman.
I don't know where else to post these so I'll just put them up here. Feel free to use them in any way you want. I'm also taking requests on these.....just PM me.

Awesome pic there.....that will be great for working on the body. However I'm actually using the scene in the Sinestro Corps Special where Henshaw is being interrogated by the Guardians as my reference for the face. As well as adding my own personal touches.
Looks like I'll have more to add, that's a great find indeed, thanks jaschuldt :thumbup:
Here's my last WIP until release...I think.
(http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6020/finalwipzi4.jpg)
I made a bunch of small changes, the only noticeable and most obvious one is the "S" being replaced with his new SC diamond chest symbol. But I assure you, a lot more changes have been made.
Now I'm just waiting on the highly talented Peerless1 to finish skoping on the rings. He does seem to be having a little bit of trouble with it though, so if anyone could lend him a hand that would be great.
Here's the link to his "help Peerless" thread that explains what he's having trouble with: http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=42951.msg599898#msg599898 (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=42951.msg599898#msg599898)

Wow Murs, those mechanical parts look stunningly realistic!
Thanks Rev! Also, thank you for taking the time out to help Peerless with a possible solution for the skope.
That looks great Murs, I'm very impressed. Hopefully Peerless can figure out whats wrong with that skope.
I'm impressed man! Doing metal is not an easy thing, and you pulled it off fairly nicely.
My one major suggestion would be to eithor darken the cape to match the red of the outfit, brighten the red on the outfit to match the cape, or find some middle ground between them. It doesn't really matter which one you choose though, you just need to fix it so the reds are all the same.
You work on something so long and you stop noticing some of it's flaws. Thanks for pointing out the cape color problem. It's been fixed. After taking a day off from it, I think I might add in a few more things to the cybernetic section of his body.
Dang, man... that's amazing! Can't say much more than that!
That's an amazing skin :thumbup:, really high quality work, like we've come to expect from you. One question though, will you be releasing a skin for Henshaw to represent him when he had control over about 8 Green Lantern rings.
Also, I know this might seem odd, I'd love to see a Sinestra (female clone/looky-likey of sinestro) skin with her in the new Sinestro Corp uniform and you are the only person I think could do it really well.
I have thought of creating a 2 pack for this skin. The one you see now(his SC uniform) and a version of him in the Green Lantern story arc where he has all those GLs captured. It wouldn't be hard to do, I still have my superman symbol saved and I would just need to skin a nose on him and metal on his other jaw bone as well. Of course, GL rings too.
Let me try a few things.........I'll have a final answer on this in later in the day.
A big thank you for the comments everyone :D
(http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1459/cyborgws4.jpg)
.........there's my attempt at it.....no rings yet. Does it look ok?
pretty sleek there Murs.
Murs, Great work all over.
Looking forward to that Cyborg bigtime.
just posting cause, and I could be wrong:
your Oken Slang skin readme says it includes a hex of chamelion_boy_t mesh
but theres no nif in the zip.
I imagine I wouldn't have been the first to notice this, so I must be missing something.

Great stuff ... I especially like the definition on the face.
Zivon23 constructed a skope for me to skin the new Parallax and sent it my way this morning. I think I'm done for the day on this one.....more needs to be done, but I'm calling it a day.

Thats looking very good Murs, I was looking forward to this one.
haha thats looking pretty good so far
:thumbup: good jod!
Hey, thanks for the praise guys, hopefully the final won't disappoint.
You know what? You're TOO good now. That cyber-supes is crazy! New Parallax is also awesome.
Actually, you were probably just as amazing for a while, but I didn't notice it because it was all green lantern costumes. But geez louize.
Would somebody please hand me a napkin, I can't seem to stop drooling over these skins :)

Not a problem, if you want to take it a step farther, font I used(and Marvel for Civil War) is called Trajan Pro....for the "Ya Poozers" text.
I think I'm done....just need to add some reflections with the refl.tga's.
Green Lantern #21 does come out tomorrow so I'll hold off one more day before releasing him just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Until then, another WIP.

Ares: You know how I didn't want to skin Apocalypse on the Thanos mesh cause the nose was too small? Guess what? The High Papal mesh doesn't even have a nose! :lol: silly me. :doh:
HAHAHAH great comic!
and Apocalypse... F'n A!!!!!!!
male_heavy based? you know what that means? easily skoped into a clayface or sandman mesh!!!
holy crud
its the end of the world! :faint
Apocalypse looks pretty good... the "A" on the belt is a little off- center, I think.
Oh man, Luke Cage/ Thor is hilarious! Now I have to Skope a cape and hat on Ren's Cage mesh!

If nothing else, I'm pretty sure there are tools (at least there are a few in psp) that'll let you manipulate an image so you can reposition that belt without having to redo it... But it does look to me like it's a pic thing.

I figured it out. On the idle animation the head is slightly turned. I took my pic with the face head on which left the body at a slight angle making things look a bit off center.
I was seriously nervous there for a while :wacko:
I finished him up and he's available for download.

thanks TUE, I see what your saying about the belt, after checking my reference pic I did make my bevel a bit too steep. It also has bit of a textire to it as well that I didn't include.

Here's the new Parallax. I also skinned an alternate yellow version just for fun. Skope by Zivon23
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6641/parano8.jpg)
thanks to tommyboy and Ink and Renegade, without them this wouldn't be possible
Cool, I kinda like the yellow version.
I like the Yellow more, actually. Parallax is yellow anyway, there's no reason his host should be using green at all. I do think you should resking the yellow on the cape though... the black shadows don't look good with yellow.
Edit: I don't know if Zivon passed it on, but I told him I'd do some kneepads for Parallax once I got back from vacation. thought I'd let you know before I medicate myself into sleepiness.
wow...you can feel the "evil" in this Parallax.
Murs, you and Zivon (and, of course, Ink, Tommyboy and Renegade, in their earlier work) really did a heck of a job on that!
WOW - very, very nice. The teeth look awesome.
Nice job. Don't know which one looks better.
I'm actually partial to the green one personally. Just not my shade of yellow hehehe. Although the 2nd one makes more sense since Parallax isnt a suprise anymore and everyone knows it's yellow

Yeah, I totally agree with you there. I prefer the green, but the yellow makes more sense. Geoff Johns said in a post release interview that Parallax uses green when taking over a host as a big "F" you to the GLC.
hahaha yeah that should be his insignia, a big green middle finger with a yellow border.
Awesome skins!

For all those wondering how the heck the GLC are going to beat the Sinestro Corps; a new revelation has been revealed in this week's issue of Green Lantern Corps(well actually it was revealed in a previous issue, but he finally is spotlighted in this most current issue.)
Sodam Yat has been mentioned in GL prophecies as the greatest Green Lantern ever. A Daxamite with a power ring! Looks like a there's a little bit of hope after all for the GLs.

I really like your style you tend not to go for really bright colours more subtle highlights.
Ring look really cool.
Well folks, he's finally being released.

Thanks to Tomato and Peerless1 for spending a tremendous amount of time on this skope.
A big thanks to Ren for creating these awesome meshes and allowing others to skope them.
note to Peerless1 and Tomato: I updated the skins, if you want the updated tga just PM and I'll send them to you....saves you the hassle of downloading the whole mesh again.
A power ring wielding Daxamite ought to help somewhat.
Love the fleshy nose! And green rings on the S shield version. Very nice.

your final skin...as in...THE last skin EVER!? :o

That skin looks awesome, murs. It looks like you didn't rely on the reflect layer much which is majorly cool. If this is your final skin...then...then...um...*kidnaps skin*
My only critque would probably be that the red on his torso (and up) are brighter than his pants and boots. Maybe you should lighten them up a bit?
No, not my last skin ever, :lol: just for a long while. I wanted to skin a really cool Dr. Doom, but when I finally sat down to do it, I realized I didn't have the desire. I'm just burnt right now, and I have a freelance job I need to finish up, and classes start up again next week. I'll be skinning again in December, but I can't guarantee anything before then.
Good luck with your classes and real life stuff! Bummer about the Dr Doom thing, though ... your metallic work, such as Cyborb Superman and Colossus, is superb. Your Doom skin would have been ... unstoppable!
Even at Class, you'll have to stick around here and join in the conversations.
Or You'll GO InSAnE!
Trust me, that's what collage/uni does... ;)
On the other hand that is an awesome skin I love the crispness all round. If your looking for a topic for a skinning tut I'd start with faces, they are one of the hardest things to master.
you do nice work murs I hope you dont stay away too long colossus looks great
What? What?! WHAT?!
No, it's cool we all understand. I actually really like the cleanest of the metal. The reds and yellows are amazing. They are rich and bold. Is this the Astonishing design?
That's a great Colossus skin! I like the shadows on the yellow section. Good luck with classes... we'll miss your skins, and Lunarman's right-- you might find that FR discussions will be necessary, and will actually improve your grades!
QuoteIs this the Astonishing design?
It is Ramos' take of Colossus in Carey's X-Men. Basically the Astonishing version but with trunks instead of a speedo. :P
Quotend Lunarman's right-- you might find that FR discussions will be necessary, and will actually improve your grades!
:lol:
I will still be around just as much, there's too many awesome skins being released by everyone that there's no possibility of me just going cold turkey from FR. Come December, I'll have some skins....until then, here's a spinning penquin :penguinspin YAY!!
Nice Colossus skin. I think it's a nice way to go out, even though you will eventually come back.
we shall all cherish that spinning penguin, Murs... ^_^
Good work Murs, good luck with classes too.
Thank you for all of the great skins. Good luck in class. :thumbup:
Good job on the skin. Looks very clean. And you didn't rely on the reflect layer as much, which is pretty durn cool.
And good luck with the classes, man!

Well folks, he's finally being released.
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/5398/smzs9.jpg)
Thanks to Tomato and Peerless1 for spending a tremendous amount of time on this skope.
A big thanks to Ren for creating these awesome meshes and allowing others to skope them.
note to Peerless1 and Tomato: I updated the skins, if you want the updated tga just PM and I'll send them to you....saves you the hassle of downloading the whole mesh again.
Why does the left hand have only three rings?
Just wondering.
From Wikipedia:
"Additionally, in his role as a herald of the Anti-Monitor, Henshaw now wields a number of Qwardian power rings on both hands; the exact number of rings shown on-panel fluctuates between eight (one ring for each finger) and ten (one ring for each finger and each thumb)".
So he wears ten rings?
Sometimes 10, sometis 8. Dc comics, in this times, power up his villains.
Henshaw powers: kriptonian fisiology, techopathy and Qwardian power rings...Near the omnipotence, I mean...
He was wearing 9 rings from the reference pic I was using.
Threw this together last night.
My little Yat is growing up so fast.
*fights back tears*

I hate it. Redo it and make it right. And then skin Jade. I won't be happy until that is complete. NOW!

Very good job, sir Murs. I was gonna mention that Kyle seems to have more costumes than most of DC...fashion savvy guy, is he not? ^_^
BTW, what mesh is that?
Awesome job on the mask murs. I'm looking forward to the rest of the spectrum.

But thanks, don't know if I'll get all the spectrums done.
I don't read enough DC, does Kyle have the parted hair these days or is he still spikey? Cause that would be an easy skoping change I'm sure someone would take care of.
Anyway skin looks really good. though I might go for a darker black.

Thanks Pod. It's not as long as in the skin but it's longer then the spikey hair.
I made something too light!? :o It must be chilly in Hell right now.
kewl mask dude!
Yeah...Kyle has a very varied wardrobe. But I definitely am not a huge fan of this uniform....but great job skinning him. You know with this mask and hair you might have used Ren's PowerRing 2 mesh.
Very nice, Murs.

Really? I think compared to some of his other outfits it's fairly decent. Then again, I typically dislike Kyle's wardrobe, especially the first one he had... but anyway, back to the skin.
-a repete of the "make black darker" comments, it really does hurt your skins. I know you have your monitor set up for something else, but I would look into maybe swtiching it to a standard view for a few minutes after finishing all the real work on the skin, just so you can tweek those colors a bit. It's a hassle, but it
would help you avoid the comments ;)
Alternatively, if you can get access to another computer, a friend's, a school computer, or something of that nature, then you can try something that worked well for me in the past. Take a skin that has one of your troublesome colors (black in this case) use whatever tool you wish to use to darken it. Once you have it so that it looks almost the same as on your computer, write down the values and the tool you used to get it there.
- As my old perverted art teacher would say... "He seems to be missing something"
This was my favorite costume that Kyle had:
(http://www.marksparacio.com/images/graphics/greenlantern175nocover.gif)
Anyways, how does the black look on these skins?
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9343/glofeartheu0.jpg)
I would switch back and forth if I could save settings and load them again between the 2. But unfortunately, I can't. I'd have to recalibrate each time, which would be a big hassle. But a good suggestion on checking them out on another comp, which I have. The computer I skin on, I also use for work and school because that's where I have the Adobe suite installed on, but I could just post the pictures here and check them out on my other comp and receive feedback at the same time. 2 birds with one stone. Thanks Tomato, you're helpful as always. ^_^
Kyle is my favorite DC character and I love his second GL costume (the one Murs showed).
Anyway you're still looking grey there, which is fine if that's what you want but I'd go with darker colour. It just makes the skin look kinda bland. The green looks fine though.

No, not yet. I'm still playing with it a little. I'm also re-doing my website so I may wait until that's done to actually release it along with the other skins I'm working on.
It's a little frustrating working on the site, so if it looks like something that's going to take too long I'll just release it before hand.
Are you having troubles uploading again?
Bucky, Winter Soldier, Captain America, Mr. Barnes. You can call him whatever you like. :P
The previous and current semesters have been nothing but method, procedure and the history of art. Very mundane. I've created nothing. I really needed to skin something to keep the creative juices flowing. I may a do a couple more.

....re-design by Juancho!
Saw Juancho's re-design of Cap in this thread http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=44841.msg619494#msg619494 (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=44841.msg619494#msg619494) and absolutely loved it. Here's a preview of what I have so far:
(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/9868/captjuanchopc9.jpg)
Note: Not going to be released.
the note at the bottom brings tears to my eyes...a beautiful skin for a beautiful design, Murs. Good work, guys. :)
Props to Juancho on that design. If only....
The skin itself looks very crisp and the colors are perfect. Nice job! :thumbup:
Looks fantastic Murs. I saw that design by Juancho and it was great. The only thing I would change is the eyes, but that's just me.
Um are you not releasing it because of Renegade's comment in the request thread? Because I think he was saying that because he thought it was for the Bucky's Cap costume from the actual comics. Check with him if that's so.
Pod's right, my comment was for the Bucky-Cap. Feel free to release Juancho-Cap.
Quote from: Renegade on February 06, 2008, 07:33:05 PM
Pod's right, my comment was for the Bucky-Cap. Feel free to release Juancho-Cap.
When I saw that thread I was wondering why Murs would want to hex off the gloves and boots for Bucky. Bucky's costume has both of those :lol: Plus he knew you were working on the mesh. But I just left it alone.
Wow, I love that take on Captian America's red, white, and blues... :thumbup:
As much as I want to have a Bucky-Cap in my FF characters folder.. Juancho-Cap just is begging to be smashing Red Skull in Steve's name. :D
- CrimsonQuill
Another great skin from Murs! :o If only Juancho's third shield redesign is possible.. :rolleyes:
Are you gonna do all those Captain America redesigns?! :rolleyes:
Hmmm...wonder how this new skin would look like if you could see his eyes...
Just noticed the belt (buckle?)...at first i thought it was incomplete or something..being gray(or desaturated?) But seeing it sideways, made it look ok. Maybe you could make it look more metallic?
Great skin nevertheless, you were really able to copy every detail of Juancho's redesign. :thumbup:
Well...uhm....looks like I'm in a bit of a pickle. I was playing around with the colors and highlights last night and checking it out in the CT when the power went out......with the changes saved. :mellow:
So, I'll pretty much be re-skinning this.
But, thanks for the comments. ^_^
Oh no! That's almost the worst! (right next to accidently deleting your photoshop file, when you are almost complete... happened to me with my avatar. I finished that skin but adding the extra details on the tga.)
But, if you're reskinning, I wonder if you could match the blue more to juancho's. His is a deeper, more royal-esque blue. I think it might look even better, actually, and make it stand out even more from your standard Cap. It's a great skin either way, though.

I'm kind of glad the previous one got screwed up in the blackout. I like this one a lot more. Still needs a few more minor details before release.
*stares in awe*
Looks really nice. Maybe you should try adding some knee pads if you'd like. I am sure one of our resident skopers wouldn't mind helping you with it.
Looking very nice Murs. I like the new touches. I'd go with a slightly brighter blue maybe.
I actually like the duller blue. It makes this skin look more realistic, as opposed to the cartoony feel of the previous one. The highlighting on the red is a lot nicer, too. It's got more depth, too. I've gotta say... this is actually quite an improvement on an already good skin.
The only bother bothering me is the mask going over the bottom of the nose. That's a little odd, and a simple fix. But yeah, great work yet again, and in such a small amount of time.

I like this blue a bit more as well. I feel it matches the same hue of blue juancho used in the micro.
I see what you're saying about the nose thing, shouldn't be a problem to fix.
One more thing: Thanks a bunch for hexing off the gloves and boots for me! :thumbup:
This new one definitely looks more like Cap. Now that i can see his eyes. :P
Though I'm not sure with the padded (kevlar?) design on the upper part of his costume. It looks good sometimes, but at times I think it seems to be too light? Can't really say for sure. :unsure:
Maybe you could try a different pattern? Like what was suggested earlier by bats, "honey comb"? I dunno. :unsure: (not really a good at skinning)
But i know you haven't finished making the final touches. So...so far so good.
I'm pretty sure it's gonna look more awesome once your finished with it murs. :thumbup:
I only see one thing wrong with the re-design:
If its supposed to be Steve Rogers, his eyes should be blue, not brown. Otherwise.... :thumbup:

I'll give the honey-comb pattern a whirl on the 2nd version of Juancho's re-design whenever I get to it.
The final touches I need to add aren't anything major, so what you see, is pretty much what you get.
I took the liberty of excluding the stars that go the shoulder because of warping issues.

Sometimes i like the bright blue color. Kinda has that comic appeal. ^_^....other times the realistic color of the other one... :wacko:.. :doh: it's difficult to choose.
Oh, you removed the stars on the shoulders, it doesn't look too different with juancho's design but I'd still stick to one with stars on shoulders.
Wow, the one on the left is much better. I have to say the realistic colour dramatically improves the skin. And i think the shoulder stars were a bit confusing.
Well done, massive improvement!
Hey Murs!!
I've been watching this thread with great interest. Your translation of juancho's design is a thing of beauty.
I prefer the brighter blue color scheme on the right (above) - the colors really pop out at you, and would probably look better in-game.
The subdued blue looks more like an "ultimized" version of the skin - it looks good as well, but it's not as close to juancho's design.
Any chance you could release both?
Thanks!!
where'd the eye-lenses go? :P
Both look great. I like the dark blue better, myself. Also, I think you should keep the stars on the shoulders. I wouldn't mind if you removed the stars on the knees, though. I don't like them very much. I like the strands on the boots, but I think you should remove those white details on the gloves. Also, I think eye-lenses look better for this skin than actual eyes.

If I might make a suggestion as far as the stars... rather then removing them entirely, you might have more luck making them smaller and moving them further up the arm so that the center coincides with the jut on the mesh.

I've tried that, and a few other things. But, none of my experiments looked appealing. For the time being I'm just going to leave them off.
