Hi, everybody! I know the ranks of skinners/meshers/skopers are fairly limited, but I've got to ask this question, in the name of one of DC's best characters from the 1970s: Black Lightning.
Will someone take pity on this classic superhero and create his children, Thunder and Lightning?
Thunder's stint as one of the Outsiders ended recently, but she was a long serving member of the team whose new costume was, as far a I know, never skinned. It's pretty cool, methinks, and here's a link to a photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e0/Outsiders35pg15.jpg
As for Lightning...well, hell. I'm hunting for a picture of her as we speak. She's appearing in Justice Society of America, but it appears that she hasn't had enough appearances for a good reference pic to appear. Gah!
But if anyone is interested in uniting Black Lightning with his family, step forward! Please! It's the right thing to do, really. :D
I could have sworn one of these had been done... :unsure:
Yup, Alycat had skinned the Outsiders a few years ago. Her Thunder was pretty cool, and Grace was a standout too. I'm not sure where you'd be able to find them now though.
You are correct, gentleman: AlyCat did, indeed, skin Outsiders Thunder and Grace, and they are, indeed, fine skins.
The only issue is that it's Thunder's first costume...and while the skin is perfectly fine, well, let's just say that the DC Editor who approved the design of the first costume was either drunk or colorblind. Don't take my word for it, look at this, and you'll know why Thunder needs new duds!: http://www.mykey3000.com/cosmicteams/outsiders/_docs/thunder.html
I mean, seriously. Pink, purple, blue and yellow? WTF, DC? Who authorized that?!?!? :D
Ah, but the question is are they still available?
To be honest, Da Glob, I don't know that those skins were ever widely available -- I certainly don't want to speak for her, but Aly didn't skin mainstream characters overly much, and I don't know that I ever saw them in a Yahoo group. She might've only done those by request...it's been a few years, and now that I'm thinking about it, I might've been the one to ask for at least one of them! :huh:
I still have the Grace skin, I know, so if anyone wants that, PM me and I can send it out -- it goes well on one of the meshes on Dreamerzoid's site, IIRC, that was basically a Female Shorthair Muscular.
I backed up a CD with Thunder on it, but I later found out that some of the file transfers didn't take, and Thunder's was one of them. Ah, the horror of the backup that...doesn't. That's why I've been trolling about for Thunder's newest look -- not only do I not have that one, I don't even have the original anymore. :banghead:
I can send you the AlyCat Thunder skin if you'd like. On a side note this skin and her other mainstream skins were at the old NPI site.
