Welcome to my skin thread. Below is a complete list of my skins.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- = These are skins being withheld from release due to forthcoming updates, mostly skope based. However these will take time to complete and I will consider release requests for the old versions in the interim.
* = These are standard skins I've done for different meshes. With two exceptions they will not be put up on Hero Force. The exceptions are Surge and possibly Stinger. If looking for these meshes please post in requests. Also the readme files for older skins may include incorrect links for meshes and keyframes, please direct those posts to requests where I or another poster will help you out.
There may be errors in the list, and these will be corrected as they are brought to my attention.
So by now you should all know that Afghan Ant, The Ultimate Evil and myself have all returned from seeming retirement to form the new Hero Force website! My apologies for the deception, we felt it would be useful in creating more excitement about the site. ideally the site release would have been closer to the retirements but it took longer to prepare than expected.
Huge thanks to TUE for bringing the idea to us and for making those Dark Knight-esque teasers, and to AA for the super cool website, and of course to Cat for the web space. Yay Cat!
So the new stuff:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/HF1.jpg)
New:
Riptide
Exodus (2 pack)
Northstar
skope updates:
Elixir (New Mutants squad)
Mercury
Hellion (Hellions squad)
Hellion (New X-Men)
Elixir (New X-Men)
Expect more releases from me after the new year as I continue to get my skins library uploaded and do new stuff.
oh, I need to know if anyone is having any problems with my Hellion skope. I've had someone report a problem with it and I need to know if anyone else is.
Yep ... I can't get the sucker to work. :(
I'm using FFvTTR and I've tried running the nifconverter over it.
When you told me a few days ago to look out for a few things I wasn't expecting all this. This is too cool!

Any problems with any of the other new stuff? Is it both Hellions or just the one. And what about Elixir. I might not get a chance to test it before I leave for the holidays.
btw all my skopes are for FFvTTR exclusively. A while back I made a decision to switch largely based on the problem with converting skopes (which is now solved I believe).
It's the Hellion with rolled-up red jacket.

Hmm, I'll look into this, but like I said I'm leaving soon so it might be a few weeks before I can solve the problem. It's based on the same skope as Elixir so it's weird that it's not working.
I just ran the Hellion skope on machine in the danger room and it worked fine, so I repacked it and uploaded it to the site. Please let me know if the problem persists.
do you have the complete set of spider-man identities? i'd love to get them all:
Dusk, Ricochet, Hornet, and Prodigy.

I've never skinned any of them myself but I have Ink's Hornet. I wouldn't mind skinning the others but I've got lots of things on my list ahead of them.
A new Exodus! Fantastic job. :thumbup:
I love the skope for Mercury.
That is just an impressive list of characters. Thank you for taking the time and effort needed into such a an endeaver.
WoW - What an amazing FF site guys - Love that Riptide skope & skin :D :D :D :blink:
(away on holidays)
Wow the colours look so different on a different monitor.
Incredible! Nice to see the three of you back on a site!
Wow, I've just been getting back into actually playing some FF after a long time away from the game, and saw your new site. These are some awesome skins, and I love your attention to the recent X-characters!
Thanks. I have new stuff in the works but for now I need to concentrate on school. After April you'll probably see some releases.
hey could you give me a link for all your Spider-Man related skins including bad guys and spider girls?
The only ones that are online right now are those on Hero Force and my Google site. I'll upload the others but it will takes some time.
Pod, in the readme for Kid Devil you say to use Ips' nightcrawler keyframes, but for the life of me I can't get them to work. Any suggestions I might try?
Wrong guy. Kid Devil was AA skin. You'll have to ask him.
Quote from: Podmark on March 09, 2008, 12:44:22 AM

Sorry about that! I downloaded several skins at the same time, and I guess I mixed up whose were whose.
No problem Talavar, easy mistake.
That's a good idea IPS, I'll give that a try sometime.
You know you're just dying to see which one it is ;)

The new Vision.[/spoiler]
ooooh, interesting. What mesh is that, sir? It's interesting because it looks teenaged, but I dont think he represents that image anymore, but that's neither here nor there. I, personally, think that the symbol on his chest could be more defined and slightly redder, but other than that, prev likes.
Cool. that mesh looks like a combo of male teen and quasar_syn. what kfs does it use?
That's great Pod! You really captured that soulless un-emotional look on his face. The colors look spot on as well. The only critique I can offer is too put a bit of that brighter green on to the feet. Nice work man!
wow.
first off, the Vision is, as always, nice work.
but what i really wanted to say was holy cow, dude! you have done a TON of skins.
i certainly knew that, but it's hard to always get the feel for how many until you see a list.
whoa!

Yeah it is teenaged, but that is how the current Vision looks. I'm going to double check more reference pics but I think the diamond isn't actually a solid red. It seemed to a pink or colour closer to his face. I'll check though.

It's a combination of Beyonder's male_teen, Syn's Quasar, a collar found in Tommy's Red tornado and the head gem and ear covers are from other Tommy parts.
I haven't checked yet but I believe it only accepts the Quasar keyframes.

Hadn't noticed the feet until now but your right they are pretty dark looking.

Yeah that's kinda why I put the list on my first post. Plus that way if anyone is looking for a certain skin they can check quickly if I've done it.

Yeah, he did looked teenaged, but I'm pretty sure I saw him in a recent book (mighty avengers? Somewhere) and he looked nearly adult. I don't know where he stands anymore in general. :P

Well the kids are hard to follow after Civil War, but when his Young Avengers Presents issue comes out I'm sure he'll look teenaged again.
Teen aged looks better IMO. ;)
I wonder if anyone can guess what this one is...
[spoiler]
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/TskinPrev.jpg)
Trauma from Avengers: The Initiative.
I recently got and finished the first trade of the this book and something about Trauma just really captured me. I think it was his face, there's something in his face that is just cool.
This is probably the last new skin til at least next week.
[/spoiler]
At first I thought a Batman Begins skin cause that's what Ra's asks Wayne after he kicks the crap out of him in their first meeting. But I'm wrong. Anyways, the skin looks good, perhaps some strands of slightly brighter highlights in the hair to give it more contrast. Other that, you're solid.
I'm a huge fan of Trauma as well. I was kind of hoping he'd end up as a cast member for New X-Men before it was canceled and changed into Young X-Men.
Yeah I think I'll be playing with this skin a little more. The hair looks like a blob right now. I've gone with red highlights because that's what the book used, but I have a blue highlight version too that was better defined.
The nice thing is that once he's done it allows for fairly easy skinning of MVP and Hardball.
I'm really liking all your "teen" stuff, Pod ... it all looks great in-game, especially when mixing it up with "adult" meshes.
Glad you're working on Intiative characters, too!
Yeah ever since AA did his Wiccan and Speed skins I knew I had to start using these teen bases. It can make a huge difference with a character looking right.
That Trauma is awesome!
updates to Trauma:

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/traumahead.jpg)
Let me know what you guys think.
EDIT:
Also some good news the Vision skope takes any male_cape based keyframes. So I'm using Gren's Vision keys.
Nice work, Podmark.
:thumbup:
A bit of a random one today
[spoiler]
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/GyrichPrev.jpg)
Henry Peter Gyrich as he appears in the Initiative.
Thought he'd be pretty easy and I had thought of some good skoping ideas.
Continuing to work on unique faces for my skins.

So.......I guess I should say good job?
No.......Steller!!!!! Steller Job.

:angry: That him!
That the skull! :angry:
Hey, nicely done! That suit just looks clean and spiffy. Good stuff Pod. :thumbup:
Huge spoilers if your not up on the Initiative:
[spoiler]
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/clones.jpg)
MVP and his clones' identity the Scarlet Spiders.
MVP has become another of my favorite characters in this book. The Scarlet Spiders twist was just excellent. Probably was pretty predictable too but I never put enough thought into it.
I'll probably do KIA eventually.
[/spoiler]
Nice to see you skinning again, Pod, and I like that you're doing some initiative skins as I was afraid the newer heroes werent ever going to be done. Is it safe to say that heroforce will be updated soon with your and UE's new skins soonish?
You're on fire right now! Is Ant-Man next?
(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9818/anttaskts5.jpg)
I "ha-ha'd" out loud when i read this last issue.
Those 2 panels were awesome, I actually laughed out loud when I read them. The Iron Spider/MVP clones look great Pod!
These characters are looking great Podmark, and like Previsionary I was worried that alot of these new charaters probably wern't gonna make their way to Freedom Force, but they are! I am a big fan of anything Avengers and that means the Inititive as well. You are doing these guys justice! (here's hoping for a Komodo!)

I've just gotten caught up on the title and Antman and Taskmaster are great. They add a awesome comedic touch. I loved that panel too.
I do have a half finished Ant Man skope lying around....probably won't be my next skin though.

I tend toward newer characters and costumes for the most part. The Initiative characters have been on my list for a while. You'll see some more in the future. Komodo was actually one of the ones I wanted to skin the most but I haven't figured out the best way to skope her yet.
Really looking forward to MVP! Just posted looking for him today!
MVP, Scarlet Spiders, Trauma and the Vision are now up at HeroForce!
Awesome! I really wish I had more time to skin because I would really like to help you finish these off (not to mention Carey's X-Men team).
Btw, I finally finished Cable that we worked on together.

Awesome, could you pm me a pic?
I've just realized that I've forgotten to put readme files in my newly released skins. I'll be corrected this shortly but in the mean time I just want to acknowledge the meshers whose work was used for my skopes: Tommyboy, Renegade, Gni, Vertex, Ink, Syn, and Beyonder.
EDIT: fixed.
For those of you who may be wondering "where's Gyrich?" well...I forgot :unsure:
He's up on Hero Force now.
My three Rockslide skins are now up at Hero Force all on slightly updated skopes.
And a glimpse of things to come...
[spoiler]
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/NXMuniPrev-2.jpg)
Will probably be withholding release until the whole team is finished.
[/spoiler]
Sweet!
you're doing the whole team in this new style? (most excited about pixie and anole)
love the Gyrich skin too.
very nice, pod. The spoiler skin is tres cool. Can't wait to see the whole team...
*blocks out mod ideas*
Yeah I'll be doing the whole team, whole school eventually I hope. To this end I have enlisted an ally to help.
Most of the skopes for the main team are done or close to, the male uniform is skinned, but I still have to do the female version. Anole gave me a ton of trouble for various reasons but his skope is finished now. Pixie on the other hand is a completely different story. I need to find the proper hair and find a way to pull off the soul dagger. Suggestions are appreciated.
O.O Ohhh Godd...
LOVE It!

:o
Great job on Rockslide but Pixie's hair why not use two Rogue's curly ponytails from the Carey skope and turn them on their side so they appear like they were going upward. Or possibly use Ink's Tempest hair plus pieces from Scarlet Witch's hair for curliness.

Good ideas. You told me about the tempest one before and I'll try that when I finally start the skope. Hopefully I can get something that looks fairly decent.
Love the skope and the skin of my favorite of the new X-men. Can't wait to see Anole. :thumbup:
skope and skin updates to Elixir:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Elixirs.jpg)
I badly had to do this because I lost all my gold based Elixir psds in my crash way back. Luckily I still had the black version for the second uniform. Skopes include a new hair piece that was inspired by AA's work. These will be up shortly.
For my next trick I'm going to try and pull off the mobile darkness version.
And a little preview:

I'm trying something very cool for that one. I'm trying to figure out animated textures so the blackness will actually move around.
:thumbup: AWESOME! :D
An update and a new skin:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/ProdigyPrev.jpg)
I seem to be in an update mood lately. First I did Elixir and today I have Prodigy. On the right is a new skin of his bullet proof vest look he sported against Nimrod and a few odd appearances.
No preview of the new uniform this time, but it is in the work. I'm still playing with it though, the hair is giving me some difficulties.
Prodigy and Elixir will be sometime this week.

I think the Bullet proof looks no realistic, could you add more lines to this?
something like thies (http://bullet-proof-vest.com/images/bullet_proof_vest/bullet_proof_vest_250x251.jpg)
As much as I love Prodigy I could never understand why he got to stay and Dani was forced to leave.

I'm going to be keeping to the design in the comic, as accuracy has always been my number one priority. However I will probably do a little alterations to make it look a little less flat.

Yeah there were a few logic issues at the beginning of Yost and Kyle's run. They wanted Dani out and fast, but their method was off.
Wow been a while. I finished school and have returned home and was busy for a while and got away from skinning. So I'm starting to get back into it again. The Prodigy and Elixir skins shown above should be released soon as I started some tweaks tonight.
Anyway here's a preview:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Chamber1.jpg)
Decibel (aka Chamber) from the current New Warriors.
I did these two before my break. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here's some reference art for comparison http://www.comicvine.com/decibel/29-2244/earth-616-decibel/108-11211/
But I have one specific question to ask: should Jono be on a teen sized mesh? He currently is, but the character has to be at least 18 and more likely is 20-21 at this point.
in my oppinion looks too young for Jono, my impression was more mid to late 20's kinda look personaly, I like the fact you're doing 2 versions :) decibels currently my fave new warrior ^_^
I agree with Syn on all points. I'd use male_basic or something similar he got to be at least 22 (last time I checked Jubilee was roughly 21 and she was the youngest GenXer). Fantastic work on skinning him though. :thumbup:
'yupe, dunno the age, but in day M jubes looks older than 21, so a i think male_basic could be the perfect verison.
Did you tryed changing actual skirt to AA_x3_phoenix....
are you going to do this version: http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/18265/376632-33308-decibel_super.jpg
I think it could be easier.
Ok then Jono will be switched to a new mesh. To be honest I was never really sure why I started the skin on a teen sized mesh. I think maybe I was getting too used to it.
There's a few tweaks I'm already thinking about, and I did start a skope for his second New Warriors costume. He's my favorite New Warrior too, but wow my opinion of that book has just been plummeting.
Any skope suggestions are welcome.
let me sent you a new neklace ^_^, pm your mail and tonight i'll send ya
Um...ok, when you start using Jubilee as an age reference...there are problems. That girl could turn out to be 10 again next week, going through puberty, and back in elementary school. It's her secondary mutation.
Anyway, glad you're tackling a new chamber skin. I may not read New Warriors, but I can always appreciate a Chamber skin. ^^
plus if you switch to a male basic, use the jeans from syns logan+
you two are really putting me to shame with your output

Yeah, the face does look bit younger then it should. But, everything else looks spot on. Good work so far Pod. :thumbup:

Elixir and Prodigy have been released on funtastic new all-in-one skopes! Elixir includes the new uniform skin. My skinning time is too erratic lately for me to wait til the whole team is done. You'll have to wait for Prodigy's team uniform though, it's not done yet.
Despite my best attempts I couldn't update the front page without breaking the formatting, so hopefully AA can take care of that at some point.

Thanks. And looks like I've got some goodies to download from you too :D
yipe! in this week i hope to upload some AoA skopes and aio i did..
So does anyone know who my fav DC (other than Batman) is?
[spoiler](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/KyleRayner.jpg)
Kyle Rayner in his most recent costume.
I picked up the Sinestro Corps trades last week and felt like skinning something from it. Not sure if anyone has skinned this costume yet, Murs probably has, but there's always room for more.
I kinda like this costume. Not as good as his Jim Lee costume, but a nice merger of it and his original. Nice to see him back as a GL again.
[/spoiler]
No update for Decibel at the moment. I need to fix up the new skope and update it, might be a while til I get to it.
Decided to do an update to one of my older skins tonight.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Boltold.jpg)(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Bolt-1.jpg)
Bolt was skinned during a period when I skinned alot of characters but grew unhappy with shortly afterwards. Bolt in particular I really wanted to update and I'm much happier with the new version.
Excellent work Pod on both of these skins. Only one critique on Bolt.....the area below the the abs....the darker purple just cuts of the flow of abs....I know that the torso cut of at one point and the waist and legs start at another...but they need to blend. ;) Kyle is my 4th favorite DC character...even with this new "god awful" uniform. :P I don't like it what can I say...however you did a superb job skinning it. :thumbup:
I'll see if I can fix that blending issue. Shouldn't be too hard.
looks very good my friend.
Nice to see your improvement, mate, and its a huge step forward. It can be amazing the difference a few years makes.
Looks way nicer now. I like the varying purple tones for the highlights. His chin might need a drop, unless it's just because he's zoomed out. And I agree about just below the abs. Simple fix.
Will you be further updating?

This character? Or other old skins?
Answers: No, and eventually.
I love updating my old skins, particularly to take advantage of Nifskope, so you'll be seeing more of that in time. Right now I'm finally fixing up the Decibel skins shown earlier. Preview should be up in a bit.
And as promised the Decibel preview:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Decibel2.jpg)
Comments/suggestions are welcome. The third version is in the works.
I'm really digging the way you did both of the Jono skins but that skirt is bothering me. It's too wide or something.
Also nice improvement on Bolt. I use to like the New Warriors lineup he belonged too.
I don't know too much about this character after Generation X, but looking good as far as I can tell.
Bolt is a great update. With the advance of Nifskope, I find myself going through my old skins as well. Just not enough time in the day. Keep it up.... :thumbup:

I'm open to suggestions on the skirt. I can't resize it without losing the movement track with the legs, which means it will become static. And it's probably too long to leave static.

Took a look at it but it didn't really work for me.
And finally the preview of Decibel's current costume:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/Decibel3.jpg)
One thing to keep in mind is that the skirt and sleeves look too dark, but thats just the parts, they should look fine in game.
Cool stuff :thumbup:
Slightly off topic, but ... any plans to do the "scarf around the face" or "fire face look"?

Eventually...maybe. Skinning Generation X greatly interests me but I've got other things to concentrate on. If I ever pick up some GenX, which I really want to do, then that would help things along.
Finally finished Prodigy in his New X-Men uniform.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/ProdigyUniFinal.jpg)
Took me forever to find a hair piece I was happy with but I finally found it in Valandar's Nightcrawler. The Prodigy pack will be reuploaded soon along with the Kyle Rayner, Bolt and Decibel skins previewed above.
I've been slowly been working on some other skins which should be ready to preview soon.
That looks white hot :thumbup: Where did the boots and gloves come from? Do the gloves have X-symbols on them?
SWEET! :thumbup:
Prodigy looks nice but I think I have some ideas about Jono's skirt, why not use Gren's Hogun's skirt?

Gloves are from Tommyboy's Superboy Prime, and yes they have the x-symbol on them :) you can see a bit of it if you look closely. The boots are from another Tommyboy mesh, I think it's Mach 2 but I'd have to check.

Dig it. You pump along quite nicely with your smooth style. It's nice and easy on the eyes.
One thing though, I don't know if it's just my monitor, but his skin seems a bit red looking. Is it just me?

The red is an slight undertone of the yellow. Someone said a red hue works well for the shadows in reds and I tend to agree as long as it's not too much.
Hey, you released Decibel and didn't tell anyone!!! :)

There was a reason for that. AA was planning a site update, but plans changed so it hasn't happened yet.
So officially: Prodigy, Kyle Rayner, Bolt, and Decibel are uploaded. Have been for a few too actually.
The site update is coming. I had to evacuate from my home last week because of Gustav but everything is fine and I'm actually trying to get everything ready tonight.

Prefectly understandable AA.
So it's been a while, back in school so it took me a while to find the right combination of time and motivation to get some skins finished.
So I give you X-Factor's Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man and Layla Miller the girl who knows stuff:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/MadroxMillerPrev.jpg)
Add a few extras Madrox for good measure:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/moMadrox.jpg)
Around the time of Messiah Complex I realized that I love Madrox and Layla.
Layla took forever to finish. Had to do a lot of base work, which isn't exactly my forte. Worked on it on and off for the last 2 months. Madrox has been done for a while, but I wanted to show them together.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
WOW!! Those are fantastic (although Jamie's infatuation with young Layla does creep me out a little - even if he is destined to marry her ;))
YAh! POD!!! IT's A VERY GOOD JOB!!!
Can you re-paint madrox x-force arms to brown, 'cause when you put the jacket it seems still green?
Are you gonna use an all-in-one skope¿
Thanks guys

I never really saw Jamie as infatuated. Seemed more on Layla's side, and probably simply because she knows the future. Either way I suspect when Layla gets back from the future she'll be a bit older.
Oh I should note that there's an alternate 'M' tattoo Layla skin just like Jamie.

Right now I didn't colour the arms brown, but I could. I'm not totally convinced it's worth it. Sure there's a little clipping here and there, but to fix it I'd have to add another tga to the skope.
Yeah Madrox will be released as an all-In-One.
Also a little bonus for tonight. Kinda a celebration of me doing some skinning again:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/TraumaSuit.jpg)
Trauma of Avengers: The Initiative in his current suit look.
I literally just whipped this one together in a few minutes.
Very cool Podmark! :thumbup:
Those are really nice skins.
That Layla one looks great. I would have never expected to see her in the game.
My only suggestion would be to add the groin area on some of the Madrox skins.
I'm so happy to se Layla and Madrox completed.
A few things though I would probably paint his arms the same color as his coat so the green shirt doesn't stick out. And Layla skirt reminds me of a coffee filter. Also thought she had a plaid skirt? Adding a plaid texture could really help with the multiple pleat look of the skinning.
The textures/details of the jackets/pants/suit/hair/faces/highlights are all very nicely done. :thumbup:
Hmmm. I'm no expert. But i think i see what AA meant about Lyla's skirt though.

Ok I'll paint the arms then.
Interesting point about the skirt. In her earlier appearances her skirt was plaid, but under Raimondi (who is my favorite artist on X-Factor) it's been blue. I guess I could do an alt version. I'll change the coffee filter issue too.

I'm very proud of Madrox's face, spent a lot of time on it and I think it's my best along with Traumas. Layla's face is a little more generic, but I'm still not a skilled with female face editing.
Awesome work as usual Pod. My only suggestion maybe shrink Layla's eyes a little bit? Looks a little like an anime character, but that could be because I'm not used to seeing many child meshes. X-Factor has got to be one of the most consistently entertaining books out there. Now your going to force me to turn blob shadows on so I can get the clone attribute to work without floating mesh pieces all over the place...
:D i was alway a Madrox fan. :D :D :thumbup:
These are great! Madrox's Excalibur outfit really takes me back those days when I used to collect it. *sigh* Those were the days. :)

Already shrunk the eyes once, but it'll be very easy to shrink them more. I'll see how it looks and get back to ya.

Madrox was never on Excalibur... :huh:
For the record the skins are modern X-Factor Madrox (4 skins - coat and eye variations), 90s X-Factor Madrox (wearing the costume he wore when I first read the book, a remake of one of my early skins), and X-Corps Madrox (another remake).
Going to work on those suggestions, then do something new. Likely targets are either Crusader or Anole.
I love that classic trench coat Maddrox the best, I always wanted a replacement for a very old skin I am using on the male hunter mesh and thats definatly it!
It does look like the top of the belts have been cut off of the 2 green shirt versions though.
Quote from: USAgent on October 22, 2008, 08:12:18 PM

Thats intentional. I was trying to to make it look as if his shirt is untucked. I did the same thing with my first Trauma skin.
Personally, when my shirt is untucked it goes further and covers my belt entirely. A way around this? The half tucked shirt. You see belt detail but still get that casual feel.
Also, gotta say I'm really liking the hair on Madrox and Trauma. Especially Trauma. In fact... where's that from? I might need to steal it.

The hair on Trauma is from Tommy's World War Hulk and Ink's Nightcrawler. Feel free to grab it right off the skope if need be as it's pretty heavily resized.
Darn nice!!

Whoops! My bad. :lol: Oh too right, Podmark! It's X-Factor not X-Caliber! It was back in the 90's when the line up was Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, and Madrox (whose name I think was Multiple Man at the time). I have no idea what the roll call of that group was after like...oh....1996. Any how, sorry for the confusion with the UK team. :P
Yeah Jamie is still Multiple Man, he just more commonly goes by Madrox. It's a cool last name. If my name was Madrox thats what I'd want people to call me.
any chance we'll see more 90's xfactor? or men in suits? (stark, Osborn etc?)
edit: and maybe a blind lawyer (got an idea for a skope all of a sudden)
90's X-Factor? Not right now. Guys in suits I can do though. I have plans to do Xavier in a suit soonish.
cool walking or paralyzed?
Those are some crisp-looking Multiple Men. Nice work! :thumbup: (note to self: catch up on X-Men reading).
I like these madrox skins cant wait to download :)

I have to do touch ups so it might not be til next week time allowing. Also I should note that rather than going straight to touchups I've started a new skin. Layla took alot out of me, needed to do something fresh for a bit.

I just released The Man with the Golden Gun in a suit. I'm working on a couple of men from U.N.C.L.E., both of whom will be in suits (although Illya was somewhat more casula than Napoleon). Now, I wonder if I should do me some James Bonds...
No it's not Xavin.
Or Hulkling.
Or Jazinda.
Or Lyja

It's the Crusader from Avengers: The Initiative
I have no idea but I've grown to love the Crusader since his introduction in A:TI, I hope he survives Secret Invasion. I'm not even sure what it is about him I like. Name and costume are lame, he's a skrull which wouldn't be neat without SI, I do like the Freedom Ring and the continuity the character carries, the scar's kinda cool but it's gone now. Well whatever I've throughly enjoyed the character and have been meaning to skin him for months.
Comments/suggestions welcome[/spoiler]
Next I'll finish touchups on the Madrox's, and get them uploaded. After that we'll see.
Yes!
I was really hoping someone would skin him. One of my favorites in the Initiative series since SI began. You did a bang up job here Pod. Especially love the details in the Skrull face.
Question: A few issues back they explained his origin with Freedom Ring and all, but is there a mini-series or something? I'd really like to find out more about this character.

Freedom Ring and Crusader both debuted in the last arc of Robert Kirkman's Marvel Team-Up. I've never read it though.
Looks good Pod, but I'd consider shrinking the thigh cuffs a little bit if at all possible. not a lot, maybe .2 or .3 in nifskope. They look a little large.
I really like the work you put into his Skrull version's face.
It could just be my monitor, but the skin looks a bit orange. It's probably my monitor. Something that I don't think is my monitor is that you appear to have forgotten to add the light lines on the feet? I'd actually probably reverse the seams, considering light direction of everything else.
I really like the skrull head on this fella. Great detail. Nice colour choice. Ears look rad. Very good job.

Yeah I can do that. Might change the thigh piece if I can find something I like better.

Yeah I put quite a bit of work into it. But I might still make some changes.
The human face has been modified too, but it's less noticeable.

Um...I think(hope) it's just your monitor. Anyone else noticing some orange??
The reason the light seams are missing on the feet is that the feet are mirrored. I'd get a triple line instead of a double, so I made a judgement call and keep the dark line over the light.
Looks a bit orange in both desktop and laptop.
Where is this orange you guys are seeing? The skrull face?

the brown on Crusader's skin is orangish and a dark brown. Essentially his highlight look darker than his overall skin.

Ah right, duh. I knew that too, since I've done a seam down the middle of the foot before. Sheesh, I feel dopish.
But yeah, the human skin just seems a tad orange in the midtones. I wouldn't say the highlights are darker per say, it's just a bit off is all.

Maybe I need to calibrate my monitor, oh wait Vista doesn't do that...
Nice Crusader! I am a big fan of the Inititive and I am exited about these characters your doing. And I agree about the Skrull versions face, its perfect!
BTW I'm not seeing the orange on my monitor.
I've seen my preview pic on 3 different monitors and I'm not really seeing any orange, I should note that people have on rare occasions told me I don't see colours quite right. I'll try adjusting the colour though, see if I can get rid of it.
Has the Warpath skin been uploaded to Hero Force yet? I'm trying to find the skin with no luck.
Had another look at it to see if it was orange...and yeah I think the skin tone looks like an orange brown vs a red brown or chocolate brown, but brown skin is hard to nail down. I'd look at putting a light layer of a more chocolate brown (with the layer set to colour) over the face and adjusting opacity accordingly.
And I echo AA's comments about the skrull face, it looks incredible :) great deep shadows and bright highlights, its good stuff.

The only Warpath skin I have is one wearing the Jim Lee blue and gold uniform done by me and Matrix.

I will be skinning the current X-Force version of Warpath but that might be a while from now.

I was trying to go for a lighter brown. Crusader's skin colour is wildly inconsistent. He's been coloured as white, lighter than the Gauntlet, and a regular african american colour. Honestly I'm not sure what ethnicity Z'Reg is supposed to be masquerading as, I doubt even he knows lol.
I'll play with the brown, see if I can get rid of this orangeyness. Might have a preview up later. A very cool preview....
Podmark, thanks for the quick reply for the Warpath skin. :thumbup:
Ok here's an altered face. What do you guys think?

And the big reveal:
[spoiler]
The new Skrull version:
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/CrusaderSkrullPrev.jpg)
Huge thanks to Johnny Patches who approached me with this idea, I didn't even know it was possible.
This skin also shows the new smaller thigh cuffs.
[/spoiler]
I'll be working on the Madrox and Layla touch ups next.
Wow, that look great with the skrull head!
Man that look good P. :thumbup:
Good work man!
yo pod just heard your making a morph skin, awesome
btw have you seen the one used for the exiles mod, i think that was the only mesh/skin made for morph so far.
lol Actually my Morph skins were done ages ago! For one reason or another they never got released. I need to do some skope work on the Morph mesh to release them now. They were created before it was done. No ETA on these right now.
Never played the Exiles mod, but I can guess which skin/mesh it was.
In regards to my above previewed skins, Crusader is done, I have one more fix to do on Madroxs (brown arms) and just need to make the alternate plaid skirt for Layla. Trauma I might be playing with a bit though so not sure when he'll be done. Time/motivation has been a little low lately but I'm making continuous small progress.
I've got a couple ideas fighting in my head to be skinned next. Maybe I should do some kind of poll like TUE. Get some fan input.
I do have fans right?...

I am considering it. However that won't be part of the poll (yes I think there will be a poll).
The poll is up:
http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=48675.new#new
Kinda cool, I don't think I've ever made a poll before :cool:
Ok so with the poll you can help decide which group of skins I shall work on next. I make no guarantees the winning choice will get completely done. The realities of my available time and how my motivation to skin works just means I can't make that commitment, but hopefully it will work out well.
These are all things that I have been considering skinning but I want you input in what you'd like to see first.
Timing of this is ideal since I only have one more week in my current semester, so more time should be available to me for skinning.
So please VOTE!
In his thread Megatallica was asking about my never released Morph skins and what i skoped onto them, so I've decided to show him, but I didn't want to do that in his thread - that's the place for his skins not mine.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/podmark/morphskins.jpg)
Names at the bottom refer to the artist who drew Morph in that costume. His costume seemed to change literally everytime the artist changed. I meant to do a McKone version as well but never got to it.
The skins were originally done and previewed on the Tom versaitile mesh, but once I found out Syn was making a Morph mesh I had to switch them over. For whatever reason I never got around to skinning the extras, and the skopes might need some refinements. If I were to release them I'd need to update the skins.
So there ya go Megatallica. The actual parts shown might be resized and moved a bit, and I would probably try to skope on something for that collar on the second skin. They might also need belt buckles.
---------
The poll closes tomorrow night at midnight EST.

they looks so good :thumbup:
THEY LOOK AWESOME! :o :D
X-Force won the poll. I'll start work on the skins soon.
Thanks to everyone who voted, it's cool to see what people are most interested in.
Nice work, I like his little grin ;)
X-Force? Curses... I'll get you yet Purifiers!
Although I'm sad my second choice didn't even get one vote. Poor 3D Man.
Darn you X-Force and you're epic hawtness! I guess the wait for New X-Men is gonna be a little longer now. :(
Well you'll get Elixir and X-23, those are some New X-Men right?
Purifiers will probably have to follow X-Force. I'm going to need someone for Wolverine to gut in the Danger Room.

Murs if you really wanted me to skin New X-Men then you should have created a bunch of dummy accounts and voted for them. It's called cheating and it's surprisingly effective :P
One piece of good news is that when I get to X-23 I'll probably have to do the New X-Men uniform. Once I finally have the female uniform done I can knock out Mercury, Armor, and Pixie pretty easily.

I've been looking forward to them. Speaking of Crusader, do you have plans of skinning Freedom Ring? I've been thinking about it. But if that's something you've got in the works I'll hold off.
I thought about it, but decided against it. So sure go ahead.
I'm going to update the front page tonight Pod, was it just Madrox and Layla?
And Crusader. Don't hate him because he's really a skrull, that's just mean.
