This is it guy we have all our entrants and the judges have been selected, this is the thread where you will post your finished assignments, which will have been chosen by the judges
the rules
Quote
- each pair will be assigned a character and mesh for that round,
- now the catch if the character has multiple costumes, if you can skin them to the assigned mesh then you have choice in costumes
- if the mesh has hidden items then you can hex but no skoping.
- if you win you will progress to the next round of the tournament where you will be given a character
- characters will be randomly drawn from all sources including avatars
- all entrys must be new work, if you've skinned the character before you may use elements like extras but the skin but be 90% new work, if questioned you may be asked to show comparison picks
- you will be given a week's deadline from the day you are given the assignment, so if you get it on a tuesday you have 2 weeks to to complete the skin and get it to the judges, if you miss the deadline you are disqualified and your opponent is give a bia to the next round.
- if both entrys miss the deadline then both are out of the contest
- there will be no excuses, but with exception, if something serious in real life happens we're not gonna be heartless
- the final image must be posted in this thread, no works in progess.
- the final image must contain a front, side and back view of the skin
now onto judging and marking, the easyiest was to do this is with a group of 3 judges,
- a judge will mark each entry out of 10 and average of the 3 will be your final score.
e.g if judge A marks an entry 6, judge B marks it 8 and judge C marks it 4, making 18/30 so 18 divided 3 so the final score is 6/10 - now a judge can enter the competition his/her self, but they can not mark there own work. to combat this the other two judges will mark the skin out of 20 and divide the total by 2 instead of 3
- what the judges are looking for are
- faithfulness to the source
- use of techniques
- skill of the artist
- the judges will each assign the characters
- The prize for the winner will be a selection of they're skins hosted on hero force, along with a profile and the right to be classed as the skin off champion until the next contest
and now the people who will be basically nitpicking over all your work our judges

I seriously need to update my AV.
Two threads with identical names, really UE? :P
Also do we get to see a list of the participants?
I don't know what you mean pod, and the list is there.

You need to finish NPI first. Slacker. *shakes fist*
Who's against who first TUE? Me and Billdamn?
"you will be given a week's deadline from the day you are given the assignment, so if you get it on a tuesday you have 2 weeks to to complete the skin and get it to the judges, if you miss the deadline you are disqualified and your opponent is give a bia to the next round."
I need some clarification on this. Is it two weeks or one? If it's one, you should disqualify me now because there isn't any way I can skin something in a week. Two weeks is reasonable.
Two weeks is a lot better for me, too.

It's a fortnight. 14 days. *shakes head at UE* :P
it's a fortnight, and the match ups are random, hopefully you should all receive assignments some time soon, i don't want to put all the pressure on the judges, but i also don't want to put out the assignments myself as i have entered and don't want to seem like i'm trying to play favourites
Oh I get it now! The judges image is supposed to resemble the American Idol (or the UK's Pop Idol) show theme :cool:
you made that connection not me FF, i'm saying nothing
I wonder which one is Paula Abdul....

the judges have made they're choice of meshes and characters, and the pm's have been sent. hopefully everyone got them if they didn't pm me
good luck everyone, lets hope this works
OK... had a slight mix up on who and how the contestants where going to be given thier assignments. :cool:
Yeah... we did the...
"Did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"That there."
"Thought you were gonna do that there."
"I did this.. you were supposed to do that"
"I thought this was that."
:banghead:
We're going to let it be a surprise to see who got what skins/meshes to work with... and who they were going against. But I will tell you the characters which will be skinned in the 1st round.
Wolverine, Green Arrow, US Agent, Captain Marvel, Luke Cage and Black Hand
We purposely tried to stay consistent with both the complexity of the skins and the mapping/style of the meshes themselves. Will likely follow a similar pattern in the future as well. I just don't want any mesher to feel slighted. It just didn't seam fair in the early stages to use meshes which had distinct mapping vs. others.
Good luck to all.
to clarify some questions i've been asked
how you produce the skin is entirely up to you, you can use c6 base, gryphon base your own whatever. the basis of this contest to to challenge your own level within a set brief.
also i want to bring up does anyone have a problem with myself entering the contest, if there is i'm stepping to one side. I have no control over anything apart from sending out pm's. the judges pick the characters, meshes and the assignments, but i don't want to cause problems or crap. the last thing this board needs is more whispering behind backs and conspiracy theories
This is all for fun we all need to remember that! :thumbup:
I can't think of any reason why TUE shouldn't be able to enter. I really don't think that he'll cheat too bad. :D
Kidding... don't kill me.
Seriously, though. I'm sure that the judges will keep everything more than fair.
Yes...fair...so I guess I should return all those gifts then...
No problem here. Its all for fun.

You started the tread because you thought the challenges were fun. You aren't a judge. This way, you get to participate also. Everybody gets to have fun. What could possibly be wrong with that?
But we probably will whisper behind your back anyway.

Thursday right? And, do we post our submissions here or PM them to judges?
Going to have to drop out I'm afraid, a new job, a computer crash and getting back into CoH means I won't make the deadline.
Sorry.
If you need a last minute entry to fill the spot, I know I'm not really a skinner, but I'll take the assignment if it will help you guys out. Just pm me and let me know.

Ehhh... life happens.
But I do ask... if there are any other drops... now is the time to say so.
I don't want to drop, and plan on working on a skin Thursday night (pusing it I know), so if you need a drop, I'll do it. I thought I'd have more time than I did.
Just re- installed CTool2 this morning... gonna see if I still have "The Touch." No drops... honest.
I'm going to have to drop, unfortunately. I'm half-finished, but I'm buried in work at the moment.
the drop outs are fine, ironically this works out
I really struggled with the cape, I just couldn't figure out the mapping. This is the first skin I've done in a while, just haven't been motivated. So thanks for giving me a reason to fire up my paint.net again. It was fun. Frustrating, but fun. :D

BTW, I just notice my assignment doesn't have a wiremap. Probably not a big deal for the body, but for the extras, I think I'll need a guide. I don't want to just paint over a c6 skin, if I can help it. Any help?
you can get wireframes for extras from nifskope... usually.

Mine did't either, so I used regular Male Basic and traced the outlines of the C6 stuff in the Extras file on a separate layer, then filled the C6 bottom with black. Not exactly a wireframe, but it seems to have worked.

I used reprints of the Jack Kirby run on GA as a source, but, well, I'm no Jack Kirby (I gave up on the knobby knees). About the only bits of Jack left are the upper lip and the chin squiggle. That mask he drew does not work in three dimensons, either. This utilized my own base skin.
I could probably work on it some more, but I don't think it will improve.
Wow, I didn't realize how rusty I'd gotten after 6 mo. of inactivity... well, here he is:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/hitmansam/SkinOffWolvieLR.png)
I chose the Timmverse base because, well... I like the look. I figured there's enough comic- style Wolvies out there, and a nice X-Men: TAS version would be interesting (And, I assumed I wouldn't get many points for Skill, so I might as well try for Creativity!). As such, my skin is missing belt loops because the TAS Logan didn't have belt loops.
This was a lot of fun, and may have gotten me interested in skinning again! And Great job Cyber and Globby (and everyone after me on this thread)!
I dunno, I kinda like that version of Wolvie. The only criticism I have on Cap is that his cape looks a little dark, otherwise, he looks good. And he kinda resembles Fred MacMurray a little too...
Wow! I really like the cartoony skins for Green Arrow and Wolverine!
It's neat.
Cyberburn, you did a nice job too! The black on the gauntlets might be a bit much, but I'm loving the Fred MacMurray eyebrows!
Looking good guys
I really do work better under pressure, so handing in my entry on the last day is par for the course.

The skins are looking good so far.
I've failed guys. I'm sorry. I thought I could swing it in two weeks, but I just never found the time.
What i've seen so far exceeds what I would have been able to do, but I never like to completely drop the ball like this.
Anyway, some really nice stuff here, I'm very impressed.
I've been incredibly busy lately so I didn't have enough time to finish this guy. Sorry about that. Well, here's what I've got:

For some reason that is kind of freaking me out. :blink:
Sorry to freak you out a little more but here is my last minute entry. Also on a Renegade mesh :rolleyes:( hope to see more)
I give you Black Hand, I had hoped to find more time. But between work and R/F I missed finishing up as much detail as I wanted. I missed finishing the feet, but I I was going for the part of his career just before he lost his hand. Hope you(the Judges :P) like it.

For the first round it was a Ren party. All of the meshes had roughly the same level complexity and were consistent as far as things like mapping and such go.
From the time this post is dated... the hard deadline will be 4 hrs. I think it'll be Friday pretty much everywhere concerned by then. ;)

I am soooo out of my league here. Really solid entries everyone.
Don't sell yourself short. You completed work within the time frame, and that's no small feat... I think this is the first contest/challenge I've ever completed to a deadline.
A few peeps will go to the next round by default. But there are a couple of real hard choices here. We're going to deliberate over the next couple of days and will announce the results for round two after that.
A few crtiques. Do not call me Simon. Or Paula (though I would luv to get me sum... never mind)
Cyberburn (Captain Marvel)
I'm only some what familiar with Paint.net, it is one of the freebies I've rated as being capable of making decent skins... which is what you've done. But in direct comparison to competent works done with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro... it's like coming to a knife fight with a switch blade vs a katanna and a machete. You have to really be on point. That said...
My biggest problem is with the line work. The black lines on the cuffs are a major distraction. The cuffs themselves are a major distraction. With the cuffs and the boots as well.. . there is a lack of detail and it seams you over relied on the reflect layer to give some depth.
Overall.. a decent skin. I think you could have and can do much better much better in the next round. (which you will make by default)
Daglob (Green Arrow)
You have a lot of subtle things going on here. But you may have gone too subtle. When I look close... I can tell where you added some wrinkles and folds to the costume in areas... but you muted them out so much that they aren't noticable unless you concentrate to find them. Subtle should be easily picked up by the eye on a second glance... and realized it was there all along. Right now... I still have to go looking for those folds.. even though I know they're there.
The mask didn't work too well for you either. I think a different approach would have netted better results.
Hitman (Wolverine)
Going foor the animated style was a good idea and for the most part you pulled it off. but I do have two problems. The first thing that stood out to me was the black stripping of the costume on his torso. Its not very crisp... and looks like you beveled it. Not the best approach. There are other methods of getting seperation which would have worked better in this instance.
The other problem is that while you did a good job on making every part of his body appear to be more 'animated' version inspired... his exposed face kinda sticks out to me. He has whiskers. I think IMO, with the hairless look of his arms and such.... for consistencies sake... the face should have been hairless as well, similiar to his animated incarnations.
I'm going to critique the remainders a bit later as they are the head to head skins which will determine the next round.
We should also have the next round choices I hope by the weekend (real life things notwithstanding)
Totally agree. The stripes were actually done with the line tool, but I think I blurred the shading a bit too much. And the whiskers area was a holdover from a previous version I did earlier in the week.
Awesome, can't wait for the next round!
Glad I didn't have to ju... umm... dang! Yes I did!!
The judges all admit that this was pretty difficult to judge. The judging was based on a 10 point scale and the total score between the three judges determined who advanced. All I can say is that there were no 10's nor any 1's. I believe critical critique is essential to improvement and all of this works towards that excellence. Hopefully each judge will drop a bit of wisdom on the skins in thier own words.... but I'll still give a few highlights about what was said on each skin.
Powerman
Carravaggio - Expected a lot more. Uninspired. Yellow and silvers lacked detail...... 5.3
Murs47 - Really wished you had finished. Nice detail in hair and skin color. Hopes you finish down the road...... 3.7
Black Hand
Ultimate Evil - Likes the mask and gloves but the rest looks a little average. Too much highlight.... 7
Tap43 - The cloth work is a nice touch. Darker colour works well. Would have liked to see a bit more highlights... 8
US Agent
Tomato - The front is way off center. Average work. Like the shield. The face and the black areas are nice. red looks too over saturated... 6
Sayg - Basic. More work on the gloves and bootcuffs would have got him a higher rating. Too many belt loops... 6.3
2nd Round Will Be
Carravaggio
Tap43
Sayg
Cyberburn
Daglob
Hitman
Next round assignments will be given out in a day or two. Expect a feminine twist.
A couple of notes.
Tomato... you missed on a critical aspect of detail. The front of the skin was a distraction and took away from some otherwise pretty good work.
Tap43... your approach was a bit risky, but over all it paid off
Carravaggio... It wasn't down on purpose, but I know personally that Powerman's shirt hit you in your weak area. Gotta work on the flowing textures more. If
Sayg... Your skin was pretty much a bit 'too' by the numbers. Would have liked to see a bit more personality (yours)
Notes:
Tomato: The face doesn't work for me. I know what you were going for...but he looks like he suddenly came across a really bad odour.
Carravaggio: I agree with HQ...work on those flowing textures.
TUE: With the size of the pic...I couldn't really tell what kind of texture you were going with. Maybe a additional zoomed in shot so we have a clearer idea.
Quick bits:
Carr, I loved your facial work (as always) and Murs, the color and sheen of Luke's skin was great.
Tap, your attention to details really won me over.
Sayg, it was really hard to judge your work for me personally because I was unsure of your skill level. I really liked how you handled the black but overall it came off a tab generic. I really would like to see more of you in your work so you don't get lost in the horde.
Well, now that round 1 is over, can I throw out something that may not have been considered in this contest? Looking at some of the output really speaks wonders of how being assigned a character one may not particularly like can affect his/her skills on a skin. So, for future reference, maybe be a bit more mindful of personal preferences and try not to stick so closely to mainstream A/B characters?
I would like to say thanks to the judges for giving their expert critiques. I do agree with all of them. As i mentioned before, i'm not very good at this. That's probably why I still depend a lot on bases and the faces that go with them. Despite all that, there were a couple of reasons why i still decided to join the skin off. One reason was because i wanted to get more practice making skins again. Since I'm very lazy when it comes to skinning, i thought this would be a good way to give me that extra push. The 2 weeks deadline was another part i liked. I've always wondered if i can come up with a decent skin within a short period of time. Lastly, the idea of being assigned a random character appealed to me since i sometimes have a hard time deciding which character to skin.
Ok. I really don't know how i ended up going on to round 2 but it seems like it did. Somehow. So to the judges, all i can say is that i can't promise an improvement overnight but i will certainly try, not to suck too much once again. I am considering trying a different approach but i'm not that confident i can pull it off. Round 2 will be an interesting challenge for me in a way since i haven't really attempted skinning a female character before.
We'll have the second round match ups and such in a couple of days. I know AA has been very busy helping to champion a cause as of late and, while I've likewise been busy trying to get the power on in this joint. :cool: And well... Court is just... doing the Court thang. He'll probably preview a half dozen skins by the weekend :P

I don't think any of us is expecting you to change over night but of me personally I'd like to see some manipulation of the base. Try to make if you own by changing the eyes or adding depth to it.

Thanks AA, your suggestion is very much appreciated.
Just thought it important to make a quick notice concerning the skin off we started. I'm pretty sure I can speak for the judges when I say we haven't forgotten or jst dumped the idea...... we simply postponed it for a while. Our collective focus, along side another dozen or so skinners, meshers, skopers etc our sites up and running. New Power INC is up... but far from being completed, while looooong anticipated Champions of Freedom inches ever closer to its debut. and trust me... you won't be disappointed with all the goodies the guys are putting together.
The Skin Off will be back...
Honest - I totally forgot about it. I do look forward to it's return.
7 month bump! :ph34r:
If there is going to another Skin-Off I'd been interested in taking part. I like the idea of doing a random skin that I have no attachment to the character. I think it would be good practice.
