Hey everyone, I was wandering if anyone has tried skinning or meshing the members of DC's new lantern corp, the Red Lanterns? More specifically the core/fun members like the one winged devil lady Bleez, the can-opener-headed psycho Vice, the former Green Lantern Laira, the cute but killer Rage Kitten and finally the leader of the Red Lanterns Atrocitus. Any helps will be GREATLY appreciated. :thumbup:
OK, I admit maybe I should have put some reference pics in my original post. Hopefully these pictures will stir the imaginations of some of our members (and is it just me or does Atrocitus look like he could sooo be done by adding shoulder pads to the Parasite mesh???). Oh and I actually realised that there my not be an actual cat mesh, so there's an oringinal challenge.

Didn't that just come out a week ago?
uuuuhhmm, I'd say more like a month, but lets face it, some creators here are so pro-active that they produce skins and meshes before the comics are even printed. :P
If someone is willing to skope them I'd be more then happy to skin them.
Woot! The master of Lantern skinning has entered the ring! :thumbup:

That would be very cool. I'd be first in line to skin it if you ever decide to do it.
I kinda figured Murs would be all over this. Someone get him a skoper.
Who's this Eadpoolnay person you talk of. He sounds cool.

That would never stop a true fan!! But seriously I always get inspired to skin after reading my new comics, so there's always a chance I'll knock a new character out right after they first appear. So I don't think it hurts to ask for a new character anymore than older ones long as you can supply the ref pics. You're only asking anyway.

I'm currently trying to do atrocious and some red lantern fx, just trying to find the proper neck piece. and atrocious and laria have been red lanterns for a few issues now.
what you guys think for atrocious male heavy or male muscular tall ?
I'd say male muscular tall.
Have you looked at Johnny Patches' Male Heavy?
Whoa, all my red coloured lanterny dreams are coming true! Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help. I hope you are all as excited about the rest of the Lanterns Corps as I am, even if theyre slowly being shown piece by piece. First Blue Lantern is out now *couph*hint*couph* and the Violet Lanterns (Star Saphire Corps) are even on the way! :thumbup:
(Though seriuosly, am I the only one annoyed that theyre brainwashing one of the best Sinestro Corps members into becoming a lovey-dovey :wub: Saphire? Someone save Karu Sel!)
I got bad news Ghaz, DC sent me a cease and desist. I can no longer skin their characters without any legal ramifications.
This is what they said:
QuoteGoodbye murs47,
You am no longer skin DC characters.You am not too good at it. You am make Geoff Johns very happy. If you not am keep skinning, DC am sue your lawyer.
Hate you very much,
Bizarro
Not am Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics
I honestly don't know what to say...I'm shocked, and a little disheartened.
......... :puppyeyes: *sob*
You're reading that wrong. Since it is Bizarro-speak, it means they want you to continue and they think that you're wonderful.
after reading and re reading that... i agree with yellow.... it seems they will send the lawyers if you stop skinning....
however that is a poor and lame attempt of humor... :thumbdown: :thumbdown: bad dc people
I think you're ok Murs:

They'll just sue your lawyer. You don't care about him do you?

No. Other then the fact that he's my father, I have no moral obligations to him.
not that I don't think red lanterns are cool and all...
but why do they even bother to wear rings.. all they do is spit blood at people that burns......
I think it's just for the bling value, either that or they're all engaged/married.... makes you think.
Oh and yes, there is a new competitor for the "Dumbest DC Name Ever", Agent Orange! the vitaminC filled villian, and the first Orange Lantern.
I actually skinned myself as a blue lantern and my friend as a red. Blue is on the Hal v2 mesh and Red is on the Power Ring 3 mesh

Just wanted to flex the skinning muscles a bit. Uhm...ignore the face. :mellow:

That is the greatest face. Ever. No kidding.
Skinning muscles seem to be in fine working order Mr. Murs.
LOOOOOOOOOOL, thats great! If you release it keep the face lol.
looking good thunder.seeing yourself as a character is cool huh?
Yeah, when you release that skin, be sure to include THAT face.
If you don't. I'll just put it back, anyway.
Hmmmm. So The Hulk would be a Red Lantern... it would sure look Christmas-y...
And a Bizarro Violet Lantern would be... Red Lantern!
I wonder about that; on a color wheel, red is the opposite of green, while yellow is the opposite of purple. I guess the emotional spectrum is different...
