DC Request Thread

[kssaints]

Thanks for the compliment JakeW. I am still kind of tinkering with her color scheam a bit. If anyone has any advice here is the three variations I came up with. Which one should I release? Or should I do all three? Any opinions would be helpful.

[jtharris86]

All three, they all look great. The more the better  :D

[Ganymede Zero]

Awesome Killer Frosts Kssaints! I think you should release all three since there all great!

[kssaints]

Well I uploaded 4 versions of Killer Frost and Superman of Earth10 to my 10th Yahoo group. Along with a few others that weren't requested in this thread.

[Cyber Burn]

Since this has been such a great thread, I just want to give it a little Bump. :thumbup:

[BentonGrey]

Okay guys, I am still very pressed for time, but with things calming down a bit, I am finding my thoughts drifting back to my abandoned stories.  I don't have the time to work on the DCUG just yet, but I am hoping that after the next few weeks, I'll find myself able to get back into it.  In the meantime, I thought I'd repost my list.  KS has continued to chip away at it with ridiculous speed, but there are still a few characters who need doing.  I've also added a trio of Aquaman villains that I'd like to revive.  Thanks guys.

Villains I need:

Marine Marauder I:
This guy was a fairly promising villain that never got enough attention or follow up...like so MANY of Aquaman's villains.  Anyway, I have some plans for him in the Aquaman story, but they require this early version of him as well as the later armored form.  I have a concept for a redesign courtesy of Heromachine, but I'm completely open to artistic interpretation.  I want him to look like a special forces guy, and I'd like for green and red to be his dominant colors.  I'm pretty flexible.
http://www.inaneasylum.org/users/bentongrey/Default/marinemarauder.jpg
And here is his original look=
http://www.comictreadmill.com/CTMBlogarchives/2007Images/Adv449Cover.html
Red Panzer:
Great Nazi villain, this guy can serve as both a Golden and Modern Age villain in my DCU, and that's just too good to pass up.  I'm afraid there aren't many good pictures of him.  Maybe the Male_SuitV2 mesh?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Panzer
The Awesome Threesome:
Tropedo, Claw, and Magneto (no, not THAT Magneto).  That's right, mega obscure Aquaman villains, and all together cool character ideas who were inexplicably never used after their first apperance.  These robotic assassins will be serving a very different function in my Aquaman mythos...if I can ever get around to doing it.  Claw might be do-able on a Mech-Man mesh, but I'm not sure about the others.

http://www.comictreadmill.com/CTMBlogarchives/2006/2006_Individual/2006_04/001081.php
Piranha Man: Aquaman villain in need of a better name.  I don't really know what mesh would be best for him, but it should be something that can take swimmer keys as well as land keys.. ;)
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Character.asp?UniqueId=882
Matter Master:  I have a feeling he's around somewhere.
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Character.asp?UniqueId=1043
Piscator: The fellow with the veil.  He should work on a TV skope.  As a matter of fact, the Atlantian soldier skopes by Unkoman included with the DCUG would work great as a base for him.
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7671/aquamanv63705zv8.jpg
Carapax:  I don't care a lick whether this guy looks like this or not.  He's a minor villain in a tin suit, I'll take suggestions for anything I can use for him.  There is no need to make anything for him.  I was thinking, maybe a Crimson Dynamo skin or mesh?
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Bizzaro2.asp?UniqueId=1033
Catalyst:  I thought that this was a neat idea for a character, and he's got some potential to be interesting in a fight.  Maybe a skope of Tommy's Superboy Prime?
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Character.asp?UniqueId=1034
Firefist:  I LOVE this guy's motivation.  Haha, it's so ridiculous, but it kind of makes sense for a nut to do this.  I'll take pretty much anything I can get with him too, so I'm open to suggestions for something that might fit him.
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Character2.asp?UniqueId=1085
Muse:  Once again, another villain I want to use because of his motivations.  I guess he might work well on a DS hex?
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Galactus.asp?UniqueId=1038
Ian Karkull:  This guy just looks plain scary.  I'm open to suggestions here, maybe something similar already exists?
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Character.asp?UniqueId=436
Airstryke:  Someone that Hawkman can tangle with in the air, simple as that.  DEFINITELY needs to be on a Sauron mesh...as a matter of fact, if no one wants to do this one, I'll just use Sauron.
http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/RapSheetMain/Bizzaro2.asp?UniqueId=1039
The Eel: I love that glowing eye....the guy all in black
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7671/aquamanv63705zv8.jpg
Marine Marauder:  The red guy in armor.  All I really want is just really an armored guy, I don't care about the tail or anything, just something scary looking.
Ion Mask:  This fellow is an Atom foe that I'd like to use one of these days.  I don't really know what he'd work well on, so I'm open to suggestions.
http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=20086&zoom=4
http://www.inaneasylum.org/users/bentongrey/Default/atom rogues.jpg
The Panther:  This fellow has got the makings of a great story, even if his costume isn't exactly inspiring.  I have plans for him, an Atom adventure coming your way soonish.  He should work well on Ren's Wildcat mesh.  I will need two versions, one with the red accents on the mask, and the panther on the chest, and one without, so that I can have the leader and the rank and file gang members be different.
http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=20397&zoom=4
http://www.inaneasylum.org/users/bentongrey/Default/atom rogues.jpg
7. Mr. Element: The first identity of Dr. Alchemy, and a character whom is part of an interesting storyline in the comics.  I would really like to touch on it in my own work, although I may never get to it.  Still, I think Mr. Element is sorta' cool looking and would be fun to use in the RR.
http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/alchemy.html

Secert Identities I need:

Bruce Wayne:
http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/batman/btas/bios/batman/51.jpg
Barry Allen:
Blond, blue eyed, not too much subtlety there.
Barbra Gordon:
http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/batman/btas/bios/batgirl/03.jpg
Female Civ will work fine.
Dick Grayson:
http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/batman/btas/bios/robin/33.jpg
He'll do fine on the Nick mesh.

Heroes:

Aquaman in dragon armor:  Since we've got a skoped Aquaman with trident, how about an Aquaman that is all armored up as well?  Here are some picks:

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3011/jlaourworldsatwarpg273ob.jpg

The Sea Devils: I'd like this group of pulp adventurers to show up in the occasional Aquaman tale, but to do that, we'd need to have them skinned.  All of the male members can be skinned on the PV_Diver hex, but I suppose June will have to be skoped.  Actually, Nicky should probably be shrunk just a little as well.

[kssaints]

Hey Bent,
I'm glad to hear everything is slowing down a bit. I already have a Torpedo done from a while back. Just forgot all about him. But I'll tackle the rest of the trio as well. Also Muse and Piranhamna interets me as well. So I'll update you on my progress. Oh yeah still trying to get the glowing part to the eye of the Eel too.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks KS, I should have known you'd be familiar with the Awesome Threesome.  Man, their name is just plain fun to say!  Ha!  Ohh, if you're still having trouble with the Eel, you might ask Tommy about it.  He's been really helpful with DCUG stuff, and he might be willing to slap together something that could work for you.  He's pretty busy, but I imagine it would be an easy thing for him.  One more thing, did you ever take a crack at Matter Master?

[jeremy355]

Tap did Red Panzor, but it's not in his yahoo group.  :(

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Jeremy, at least now I know where to look.  Does anyone happen to have this skin?  If not, I suppose I can PM Tap. 

[kssaints]

Hey Bent old friend,
Matter Master is almost done actually. The only thing giving me a slight problem is the symbols on the hat. But I think I've figured out a fix.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks KS, that's good to hear.  I can't wait to see him man. ^_^ 

[danhagen]

Phantom Stranger has the Sea Devils in his third Yahoo Group. They're under "Forgotten Heroes."

[BentonGrey]

Thanks man, those will do nicely!

[BentonGrey]

This semester is almost over, so I'm just about ready to get back into this stuff again.  I'm working on the first Aquaman mission, and I need a version of the Marine Marauder as the villain.  Thanks guys!

Villains I need:

Black Manta:
I'm looking for a new skin for Aquaman's greatest foe.  I want something that captures just how awesome and deadly Manta is.

[Cyber Burn]

For Carapax and Marine Marauder, FLASH_22798 skoped a Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man that you could check out.  They're both for FF1 but are easily converted to FFvt3R.  They're located here:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Skoped_Meshes_By_FLASH_22798/

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Cyber Burn, a Crimson Dynamo would probably work really well.  I'm afraid that those two aren't in that group, though.  Does he have another one?

[Cyber Burn]

Sorry Benton, try this one:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Second_Rate_Characters/

[BentonGrey]

Awesome!  Those two are PERFECT for those characters.  Thanks CB!  I think Titanium Man makes a rather exceptional Marine Marauder, and it stays closer to his original color scheme.

[Cyber Burn]

I'm working on a skope for the Aquaman armor, but I don't think that I can reproduce the helmet.  Any suggestions?

[BentonGrey]

I'm really glad that you're taking that on, I was hoping someone would try it.  That helmet is going to be tough, though.  I can't think of anything remotely like it.  TV has tons of helmets, and we may just have to choose something that looks OK rather than accurate.  Maybe the top of one of the MACH helmets?  I'd suggest posting a question in the hexing forum, one of the more experienced skopers might have a brainwave.

[BentonGrey]

Hey, I was thinking about Hawkman villains, and I remembered I.Q. and his gang.  I seem to recall seeing them done by someone.  Does anyone know where they are?

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p68/DCHawks_photo/hm-49-017.jpg

[thehod]

I'm not sure if they've been done, but has anyone created Fire and Ice in their JLI costumes.

I would do a search for them, but you get about a zillion responses if you search on "fire" or "ice".

I do know that they have been done by a few people, but mostly in their global guardian versions.

Here's how they look for those not in the know...

Fire (in the middle)

Ice

[daglob]

I think Italianpornastar has them on his site.

[Cyber Burn]

I think I got the basics down, as well as found a solution for the helmet (except for the ribbons or whatever that hang off the back). If there's anything you want changed let me know, otherwise, I just need someone to skin it.

[thehod]

I think Italianpornastar has them on his site.

Any chance of a link?

(Unless of course, you're going to give me a link to a site with lots of Italian porn stars, and then I'm prett sure i could find those myself) :D

[detourne_me]

Check Grenadier's Tyrant mesh for weird dangly things for the aquaman armor.

[Cyber Burn]

Thanks detourne_me. I'll check that out.

[BentonGrey]

Wow CB!  That's really impressive!  I was completely unsure that anything approaching that helmet could be found, fantastic work!  I can't see anything that needs changing.  Really top notch man, really great.

[Cyber Burn]

Updated thanks to detourne_me's advice.  Now all it needs is someone to skin it.
