Hi, you might remember me from the old days of FF. I was an early member of NPI, but I disappeared in order to go to college. I've since graduated and while looking for work I've started skinning again. Instead of talking your ears off I'll just post my start here.

Dr McNinja is my favorite webcomic. I'll be doing more skins from his universe soon.

Download Solitaire (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/07/new-freedom-force-part-1-solitaire.html)
Solitaire is from the Ultraverse. More about him at the download link.
I've been doing a retrospective of my time as a FF Skinner on my blog (http://blog.ewzzy.com) as well as posting new skins there. If you want to see just my FF related content you can go here (http://blog.ewzzy.com/search/label/freedom%20force). I'll also be posting my WIP on FFCenter and releases here on FR. Feedback is much appreciated.
Doctor McNinja! Hey man, long time no see. And nice job there.
ohgodohgodohgod.....
How could I not have thought to request this?
Dr. McNinja!!!
Now do Dan McNinja. Ill request a Ninja mesh with a special "somehow eat a bagel without removing your mask" animation.
Hey! I was gonna do Solitaire.
(Whew!) Another one off my list. :kingbe-thumbup:
Solitaire! Nice.
We need a LOT more Ultraverse skins around these parts.
Very nice Dr. McNinja! Great job!
Hey, I have a "Raptor Bandit" model I've been kinda working on... if you would like it, it's yours.
@The Hitman: Oh heck yes. That'd be the coolest.
@Laughing Paradox: Then you are in luck. I've got several more Ultraverse skins that will be released over the next week.
@Daglob: I actually had a skin of Solitaire from my old run as a skinner. But all my work from those days has long since been deleted.
@Scorpion: You too are in luck my friend. Check out my thread at FFCenter and you'll see my WIP Dan McNinja skin. In game, using an active defense called "Can't Catch Me If I'm On Fire" is one of the most joyous things in the world.
@Kommando: Thanks for the kind words old chum!
Very cool, really like how the button up shirt came out for McNinja
Thanks Murs!
Well I was gonna save these for later today, but I'm in a posting mood.

DOWNLOAD PRIME (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/07/new-freedom-force-part-2-prime.html)
It was daunting skinning Prime because the default skin for the mesh was Prime as done by C6. He's a tough act to follow.
Oh God, the fire thing....
Imma make a Judy herofile out of the gorilla mesh. One of the attacks will be "Fill out these forms". Itll be rad burn with very low damage and very, very high stun.
And of course a crazy rage state called "WHO ATE MY HOT DOGS!!?!??"
Hey, look who is back!
Great Prime! I'm looking forward to your upcoming Ultraverse skins.
OMG
Welcome back, Ewzzy!!! :thumbup:
@Scorpion: You'll love what I'm working on now.

How can you go wrong being named Bob?

I won't even point out there is a vxAtom_Bob
Awe crap. See that's what happens when I copy past my ReadMe files. Shameful. I'll re-up a fixed version. [EDIT: Done]
...wait there's a vx_atom_bob? Where? I've been out of the loop for waaaay too long.
Don't know what to tell ya, all my stuff is uploaded to new Champions site... but sadly we're not ready to open yet.
Dark Smoke Puncher.
How can I recreate mad beet gruzzling in-game? Hmmmm...
And Dan McNinja WILL shoot poison out of his eyes. Theres just no doubt about it.

I probably should have put together a better mesh for him, but I skinned him before I tried skoping together meshes from other parts.
@Vertex: It seems everybody is looking forward to Champions. I'll have to update my skin when it's up.
@Scorpion: I tried DSP out in game and gave him some technomage based powers in addition to punching and kicking. I forgot about the poison eyes for Dan. What powers do these guys all need?
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SnIJKTHCddI/AAAAAAAAJbQ/ZkNZJshevCg/s800/mcninjas.jpg)
Moustache of Authority: Area stun/rally effect.
You gotta do a Martin skin.
Attacks:
We Pass the Savings on to YOU!: Big Punch attack
Two For One!: Combo Attack.
CRAZY LOW PRICES!: Rage State.
And of course, Dan McNinja's KNIFE EYE ATTACK!!
Any chance of a ghost wizard? Or Robot Dracula? Or....well, really, I could go on and on...
I'm not familiar with the characters (with the exception of Prime), but there's a very crisp quality to your skins. Very clean. :thumbup:
@Gremlin: Excellent idea! Keep em coming!
@Scorp: Martin is on my list. I'm not sure if my skoping skills are up to the task for some others. Toss me some mesh suggestions to move these guys higher in my queue.
@Burn: Thanks!
Gordito!

Just a preview.
YAY I AM SO HAPPY NOW.
Other characters:
Yoshi: Irrational's raptor with a saddle on it.
Franz Rayner: Male_muscular with a ponytail skoped on.
Chuck Goodrich: Male_suit and male_astronaut (or whatever it's called...)
Beeman: Male_alpha or male_cape
Hortense: One of the vx_females with a short hair piece.
You know, I have to tell you, Gordito and the McNinjas are awesome. But you need to know that its not just because youre the firstone to make these awesome characters. The skins themselves, the detail and work you put into them are by themselves amazing. Like Gordito. Thats a really nice skin by itself.
Thanks for your stuff, Ewzzy. You really are great.

Dude, seriously, Rayner needs a optional jerk-Bag Chin Beard hex to go along with the mesh.
And, oh jesus, Bearclaw.
Oh, if only Valandar was still around. You could count on him to make a kickass Paul Bunyan Syndrome victim.
Dr. MC-FREAKIN'-NINJA! Ha! Awesome! I can't believe you've also got a Gorditta skin and skope as well. These look great Ewzzy, welcome back!

Martin in full rage mode!
I hexed on some teeth to make Renegade's Incredible hulk look more like him. I'm trying to find a good mesh for the smaller, half converted Martin.
Don't worry I'll be releasing my Dr McNinja skins soon. There's 2 more days of Ultraverse releases before my backlog is empty. After that you'll get new toys to play with.

God, how do you do up the Doc so it does him justice? By singing the tune to the Ghostbusters theme, he can actually punch ghosts! How the hell do I do that in the game?
Scorp, it's hard to create a hero file for him that does him justice. I try to focus on the dual ninja/doctor thing and give him healing powers along with death dealing.

Martin! I loved making this skin. Half transformed Martin is so sad, but the stretched out shirt and tossed aside tie look better than I expected.
Only one more day of Ultraverse skins. Does that mean the end of my reign of daily releases? Tune in tomorrow for TOPAZ!
Ghoul! Nice job.
Looking forward to Topaz.. and don't stop the Ultra-love. These skins/skopes are definitely appreciated.
Great work man, I love the Ultraverse! You reminded me of the Ultraforce tv show so i just watched the whole series at once lol. Are you gonna do some Ultraverse villains soon?
@Ghazkul: I've considered doing an Atalon of the Fire People skin, but I've been teasing a long term McNinja project. This might be the end of my Ultraverse skins for a while.

Hortense is Dr McNinja's ex-girlfriend. She appears to be working for King Radical.
While i am not familiar with the character, Topaz looks amazing. Good work in this whole thread.
I love "Half-Transformed Awkward As Hell" Martin.
You gonna skope a disconcertingly large wang on the fully transformed Martin? Extreme powered Panic Area attack.
Hortense is cool, but Im not a hug fan of her character. Not.....distinctive enough, I guess. Thats not to say that the skin looks spot on.
The thing I like the most about Doctor McNinja heroes in Freedom Force is that you could put them up against anything, litterally anything, and it would fit the thematic of the series.
Your love of the comic is truly admirable. Now, if only a brave skinner would man up and do a good Ray Smuckles....
@Vamp: Gracias!
@Scorp: Martin is one of my favorite skin's I've made. I'm glad you like him. Sorry, just shadows for the monster. I do release all my skins/skopes under the creative commons so you are welcome to alter him however you wish after he's released. Hortense was designed by [urlhttp://carlymonardo.blogspot.com/]Carly Monardo[/url] and like all her stuff it's more focused on the face and hair details than the costume. Of course she also designed King Radical. I personally love having the Dr Characters fight giant dinosaurs, robots, and frost giants all at once. It's chaos. I've never had my love of a comic admired before... it's humbling. ;) I just love doing untapped characters and the McNinja's are there.

The Chainsaw Ninja! They aren't chainsaw nunchucks, but I'm way proud of them nonetheless. It's a scope of Texas Jack's male_2hammers with chainsaws from Tommyboy's Dr_Pym mesh. This is seriously one of my favorite things ever so I've decided to make him my avatar till I figure out what who I am.
YESSSSS
This thread makes me so happy, Ewzzy. Just so you know.
Chainsaw ninjas! That is so unbelievably awesome, it defies all description.
Dan McNinja is also awesome, mustache of authority and all that, but even he can't compare to the pure glory of seeing a chainsaw wielding ninja in Freedom Force.
How can we have had Freedom Force out all these years and never before had a chainsaw weilding ninja mesh before? It boggles the mind.
And you got Dan McNinja down pat. He never doesnt look angry at you for not being a good enough ninja.

Dont really have to worry about me hexing a wang onto the Martin skin. I was joking, of course.
The Chainsaw Ninja really looks like it turned out great. Its really gives me hope that the Tennis Temple Snake-Droid Warrior could actually be done.
BTW, anybody want to do a menacing horsie? Its important to the community.

It's Gren's giant with Ren's accessories and my skin. Paul Bunyan!
(For those who don't know Paul Bunyan's Disease is a thing from Dr McNinja. I don't skin giant lumberjacks without reason.)
Good work, I like the shirt. :thumbup: But pants looks like it's from one of Gni's meshes though, is that only a placeholder?
Have you been doing any lumberjacking? ANSWER ME!
Wow. So many new skins in just a short period of time. The quality of these skins are really good! :thumbup:
Really great stuff. I particularly like the Bee-Man and the ninja with chainsaws. So funny.
@GGiant: You caught me! Gni and I used to share a lot and I still use his bases for my clothes. They're usually a lot more modified than that. I'm not done with Paul yet so their still some work to do on them.
@Scorp: Grr...pine! PIINNE!
@Outcast: I really have no idea how to take my time. I'm used to doing graphics for live sports where there is no such thing.

Death as personified as the only waiter at the everlasting restaurant of the afterlife.
Mesh is a heavily modified PV_gentleman_ghost with the skull from The Bard.
Oh ok, btw that dead waiter guy looks cool.
Perhaps an alternate version of Death in swimming trunks? Hmmm?
Oh, and Mitzi is getting a direct attack with very high knockback called "Precisely Aimed Demolitions".
Really Beautiful skins here Ewzzy, and fantastic skopes aswel. Both combined bring these characters (that I had never heard of) to life for me - theres just so much personality in each one. really great work!
@GGiant: Thanks.
@Scorp: I tried to whip up some trunks but finding pants to put on over a skeleton mesh got way too complicated.

Decent.
Can Ben Franklin 2 be far behind? I hope not, but what he's gonna do in Freedom Force I have no idea.
Perhaps some attribute that has him come back to life over and over? Like that Russian Doll thing. Hmm....
Or maybe a Direct Attack called "Bestow Dukehood" which has a high stun cuz gettin cussed out by Ben Franklin dont happen every day.

And how in the name of God am I gonna recreate Franz's butt-weakness into the game?
Weak Spot, or whatever the name is. It works, even if it won't specifically be on his butt..... :P
Great lookin' stuff Ewzzy!
You've made quite a comeback.
@Scorp: I'm not even close to being done, but here's a preview.

@Benton: I think the flawed invulnerability trait gets is better. Though oddly it makes the best tactic against him to be just to keep using quick fast and cheap attacks until you hit the weak spot. After he loses half his health then you hit his as hard as you can.
@AfghanAnt: Thanks, that means a lot coming from someone as talented as you.
Now onto something fun. I spent all of yesterday looking for meshes to continue my work, including a man-shark mesh from Webrider. Out of curiosity I downloaded his Bob mesh from Reboot. As the standard skin I found my old bob skin slightly modified by Cardmaster.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SoRnv5buLPI/AAAAAAAAJrU/dXI44WfmBXE/s800/bob.jpg)
This was not only one of the first skins I ever made, but also one of the first things I ever did in Photoshop. I made this way back in 2002.
Nice musculature on that skin man! :thumbup:
That last skin is incredible.. fantastic job on it. Good skope, too.. did you end up using Pyro's hair?
Now use some more of that talent back on Ultraverse! ;)
I wish I could take all the credit for this guy. I'm using Googleplex's bases with a fair amount of tweaking.
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SoTILnzsfYI/AAAAAAAAJr4/LupbUk7jsEU/s800/adman2.jpg)
I used the liquify tool in photoshop to shift around the musculature and then used the surface blur tool to blend googleplex's harsh lines.
I followed that up with some gradient map action to give use skin tone and then a green photofilter to give it that olive look.
I redid the face completely and blended the neck so it would look more attached to the body.
I'll ask what I asked in the requests forum in here too. I'm looking for a male_basic mesh with pants that isn't Gni's (his won't copy over in a skope) or based on Tj's PV (that shoulder doesn't look right at all without at least a shirt) and isn't a separate skinned piece?
I spent sometime away from Dr McNinja characters on a character from the good Dr's inker's comic Nedroid (http://www.nedroid.com/).
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SoTFz6uqBeI/AAAAAAAAJr0/Vcj2F5vlMe8/s800/4iw69vxr.jpg)
Harrison is always sad because he doesn't go on adventures. I made sure he'll have plenty of adventures.
(note that this is a preview and I haven't even looked at the shark head texture yet)
Comparing your old skin with your latest skins, you've really come a long way since then. It's a huge improvement. :cool:
I love the jetpack jerk, but I'd recommend a more orange hue to his skin. He would no doubt have a TERRIBLE fake tan.
Ah, but were is the tasteless, ostentatious gold chain?
And can a Beartato mesh/skin be far away? My guess is....yeah, no, itll probably never get made. Dont know how Id use him in the game anyway.
Shrug.
@Outcast: Thanks! It's shocking how big a change seven years can make.
@Gremlin: I'm sticking with the current tone. It's based a friend of mine's tone.
@Scorp: I have a plan to make Beartato, but we'll see how that goes. Oh, and the chain is right here on the finished skin.

NEW RELEASE!

DOWNLOAD MONGO (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/08/freedom-force-mongo-chainsaw-ninja.html)
New releases running daily all next week. Stay tuned!
I am so stoked about the McNinja Projekt.
Howabout you do some Kate Beaton skins?
WHOSE WITH ME!!! :thumbup:
@Scorp: Such resounding silence! Apparently people are about as interested in a Kate Beaton skin as Tesla is in women. "Ladies! Ladies! I'm not interested in your romantic advances but in science! Control yourselves."
I spent the weekend tinkering on my avatar skin. You see, I can't claim to be Mongo the chainsaw ninja for long. Instead I shall be Ewzzy once more.
NEW PREVIEW!
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SonvuWPMayI/AAAAAAAAJxA/yNhU4s87NsM/s800/ewzzy1.jpg)
I skoped one of Renegade's Luke Cage meshes into the Tombstone mesh from Irrational. I swapped the guns out for the hand cannons from the Pulp_Versatile mesh by Texas Jack. I hid the lightning and spent an hour trying to get rid of the LOD transformation. That's the thing that makes mesh go low poly when you zoom out. It would make Ewzzy transform into a low poly version of Tombstone if the camera got too far away. I finally fixed that and then I found that the guns had a reflection no matter what I did. My only fix was to black out the lightmap so nothing on the mesh can reflect now. After all of that I feel as thought I can preview him here.
He's based on my first decent avatar.

Not on my recent failed attempt at a futuristic avatar. That one makes me look like a d-bag.

I promised a big announcement yesterday and now I deliver. I know it's hard to browse my blog looking for skins so I've put together a website to better organize my Freedom Force content. It will be available on Friday along with the release of Ab-Man. In addition to that I'll be opening a yahoo group to archive everything.
great news! :thumbup:
PB and Beeman are really kicking some arse here. Your avatar is really nice too.
You really seem to be on a tare here. How long can this go on before you get burned out?
BeeMan and Paul Bunyan are amazing, your avatar is as well. Great work all around :)
Thanks everybody. I figure I'll get burned out as soon as I find a job. Ha! My skins are getting a lot more complicated and detailed and that might cause me to burn out first. We'll see when I crash. Following this thread will be like going to a Nascar event.
Speaking of being more complicated and detailed:

See you tomorrow for another new release! Oh, and feel free to criticize my work. I'm trying to get better at this after all!
For some reason i look at that skin and i think.. "Grim Fandango"...
Reminds me of The Corpse Bride, and I'm a huge Burton fan. And I would love to see a Michael Jackson, Thriller Zombie, skin

That is actually addressed in the comic alt-text.
Fantastic work as usual Ewzzy!
Love the detail on the MJ skin - really awe inspiring work. And Your new avatar is especially well done. Love everything so far. I really hope you don't get burned out!!!
@Artemis: Thanks for the support, I hope I don't get burnt out either.
@Scorp & Baroness: There is just something about skeletons in tuxedos that screams fandango.
@Primus: You won't be disappointed.
I'll get to Michael when I'm done with Ben Franklin 2!

I went through a dozen variations on the skope before I felt right. I'm still not sure about the shoulders. They seem alright, but if you get close they clearly aren't part of his jacket.

The shirt on your current avatar came out really well.. great job on that.
Keep on skinning!
The Frans skin is insane!
The subtle veins and the great crease/folds on his clothing. Another A* skin Ewzzy. And MJ is coming along super!
yours skins are just great love the the style of the clothes
@Cascarudo: I have a tendency to make characters in pant and not tights. I've developed a shirt and pants base now that works for most clothes with some tweaking.
@Artemis: It's all about choosing a good base. He's based on the Strangefate base (http://www.strangefate.com/Freebies/index.htm) with a lot of tweaking to fit him in with the rest of my characters.
@Paradox: Keep skinning? Only because you said so!

The best part about making this skin was blending together Googleplex's base skin so it looked less inked and so that it had proper skin tone.
NEW WEBSITE! (http://www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com)
Oh yes it's true. www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com (http://www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com) is now the place where you can get all of my skins and look at some retrospectives of my old days doing skins for FF. It's worth a quick look over. The visual style isn't even close to final. Heck, my banner is just a picture of LA from the Getty Center.
NEW YAHOO GROUP!
(http://gamesource.groups.yahoo.com/group/ewzzy/)
I realize that the reason that none of my old skins have survived is because I failed to make any sort of backups. As a result I've posted all of my skins and skopes to my new yahoo group. http://gamesource.groups.yahoo.com/group/ewzzy/ (http://gamesource.groups.yahoo.com/group/ewzzy/) I'm already at 41% capacity so we'll see how long till I have to make another group.
Dude, love the website. Actually the first Ive seen with little advertisements, essentially, under the skins. Its that little something extra. I like it!
I dont remember you from olden times, from before you got back into the game. What sort of skins did you do?
Thanks! If you click on the retrospectives on the site you can see the surviving screen shots of my skins. I started skinning when the game was first released without any clue what I was doing. What was the old site that hosted everyone's skins? Guy Gardner: Warrior was my first skin and it was awful! I didn't even use the character tool. I drew right on the base skin with no layers, saved, and went right to playing in game. I spent awhile as a part of "The Marvel Hunters" a group started by "Kraven" with the goal of skinning every obscure Marvel character. My heart wasn't exactly in that, but it was good for experience to have a multitude of characters to skin. I even did a skin of Crusher Hogan, the wrestler Spider-Man beats up in his first appearance. Then I got into creating originals with NPI I created a bunch that are lost to the ages but my favorites were a team of teenage international super-powered refugees called The Revenants. I did a bunch of Ultraverse and Green Lantern skins too because I was a big fan of them. Ron Marz's run on GL was what got me reading comics regularly for the first time. I was getting to about where I am now skill wise before I quit skinning to go to college.
Wow I get long winded when I post at 3 in the morning.
So I took a break today from doing Dr McNinja stuff so I could try out some nifskope stuff. To create my avatar I did a full body transplant. It's difficult making those work, but the results can be fun. I spent used Irrational's male_trenchcoat as a base to build a new versatile mesh. I stole a bunch of hats from Pulp_Versatile along with some guns from it and the freeze gun from the Ice Soldier. The bodies of Nuclear Winter and Sukhov didn't want to transfer but I made it work. Male_Heavy doesn't work well, but with some nifscope trickery he's in there.
MALE_TRENCHCOAT_VERSATILE

I know with the advent of nifskope that versatile meshes haven't been as necessary, but I figured it was worth a shot. Any other pieces you'd like me to skope on?
That looks AMAZING! I can't think of anything you can add...maybe minuteman's hat?
Not everyone can skope that well, so i think that your male trench coat versatile could be very useful. The more accessories and weapons the better i suppose. :P
Great work on the skope. ^_^
I love the Trenchcoat versatile! I wish he had been around when I was trying to get Harvey Bullock skinned. ;)

I didn't know if you planned on doing one yourself but I went ahead and made a chainsaw throw FX for personal use. I haven't made a readme for it yet so it can't technically be released to the public but if you want it released I can do one.
@area: I can't believe I forgot to post my chainsaw fx. I made some, but never got around to releasing them. They look basically the same as yours but the chainsaw isn't transparent.
@Benton: Maybe it's time you gave him another shot!
@Outkast: I've been digging deeper into skoping. Adding pieces is fun and easy, but swapping skeletons can be maddening.
@Artemis: Thanks for the support, I was inspired while working on the shadow side project with you.
Real life has been kicking my butt, so my output has been on a swift decline. Nonetheless I'd like to preview my new Thriller 4 pack.

I cannot for the life of me make non-zombie MJ look right. I've tried 5 different photoskin faces and none work right. For anyone who doesn't read Dr McNinja that is Ben Frankslin II next to MJ.

I love you. Im not kidding. I want to have your children.
Moonwalker!
Yeah- The transparency is a video card issue. If I run the game in high res is solid but if you've already got an FX pack you should release it. There aren't many people who do FX anymore.
that is just awesome work man...wow :cool:
im not a huge mj fan at all, but those are incredible. makes me want to try and skope a beyonce mesh lol. fantastic work as always.
Hmm, this DOES bring up the question of what the appropriate keyframes to use for him would be.
I have no idea.
take the run animation, flip it and slow it down.
Great skope/skins.. the detail on the jacket is fantastic.

All these and Trenchcoat Versatile at Ewzzy's Freedom Force (http://www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com).
Usually I stratify my releases over the course of a week on the blog, but I decided to dump all of these on my Freedom Force sub-site.
As far as animations for MJ/BF2 I was working on a mod of male_hunter 'cause it's animations are great for this. I never finished it though.
Sorry Scorp, no babies.
That mj skin is sweet! Nice work!
Good work on that Bee FX :blink:
Oooooohhh!
Damn man. Nothing hurts worse then a chainsaw to the back of the head.
BEE-utiful!
@Delorean: Thanks, it might be getting a facelift thanks to Bearded.
@Electro: It had to be done. The man shoots bees.
@Scorp: Absolutely nothing!
@Artemis: Bwa-ha-ha! After seeing Laughing Paradox's female-male body skope technique I went to town creating an approximation of the request you asked me about a while back.

It's not quite the same, but it works pretty well. The biggest difference is chest size, Shadow has *ahem* filled out.

I think that skope would be a sweet start at a sidekick for Tomstone. Just my oppinion. Btw, what keyframes does MJ take?
:blink:
Crap dude. I really like your new meshes.
@Artemis: That's a lot of hearts. :D (What's this about Katie Price? Artemis, you've lost me.)
@Delorean: MJ can take any Male_Basic keyfames. There aren't really any out there that do him justice though.

@Artemis: That's a lot of hearts. :D (What's this about Katie Price? Artemis, you've lost me.)
I was refering to Shadow's 'filled out' chest. I suppose the reference would be lost on anyone not from the UK.Katie Price is a famous/infamous 'former' 'glamour model', who is known for her HUGE assets...and is currently seeing herself fall out of public favour due to her divorce from heinous 'popsinger', Peter Andre.**
Ok, enough UK celeb-gossip trivia.
---
Shadow Looks great re-skinned. Maybe you could do more FF characters? You're nifskoping and skinning skills would definately add alot of character.
Looking forward to all the new skopes - i forgot how cool Red Son's keyframes are
-------
** I realise i used alot of inverted commas ' ' - it's because I'm certain that the descriptions i gave you will be void when Miss Price needs some more money.
Sorry for the partial thread hijack
Nice Necron dude! Seriously. You aint in to 40k are you?
@Artemis: I managed to a)forget that Amber Autumn is Shadow b) forget she was a model and c) have only a passing knowledge of Katie Price. Now I know that Katie Price is known for a) implants b) name changes and c) super-villainy. Safe in this knowledge I can say: ' :lol:'
@Scorp: The Necron is ENTIRELY the work of Lord Ehmsidy. I just mapped the keyframes so he could better use his gun. I'm afraid I'm not a big Warhammer fan, just a fan of Lord Ehmsidy's meshes.
<:angry:>
Well. I guess I wont be getting any totally sweet Space Wolves meshes off of you then.....
There is a Space Marine mesh...check the mesh list.
I spent a big chunk of my day learning how to use gmax and blender to alter meshes. I never quite got gmax to work but I figured out how to import nifs into blender, alter them, and export them again. It's actually pretty easy once you've done it a few times.

In order to make my new shadow more like the original and less like Katie Price I shrunk down her chest to more natural proportions and smoothed over her face to make the mask. This has a great side effect of making a perfect Question mesh.

That is just really friggin' cool.
That's looking really good. Nice skope.
that is really good :cool:
Amazing ... I hate that character, but that is great work.
Never ealised there was a second question. Looked her up, looks great!
the question is, did you read 52? she's really good in that.
does your mesh work for :ffvstr: ? that is the question.
why do skopers hate :ff: ? and that is the question. there must be a way to convert from :ffvstr: to :ff: , when the mesher doesn't mind. that is the question.
and a threadjack a little, is there a vic sage skin or mesh? that is a question.
what is the question?
Bloomin' Brilliant Work! Fantastic all round!
@Artemis, @Delorean, @Jakew, @Murs, @Paradox: Thanks!
@Bearded: So far 52 is the only thing I've read with Renee as Question. I hated the idea of it but by the end I really liked her.
The mesh works quite well in :ffvstr: but not in :ff:. Skopers hate :ff: because you can't mix parts from differently exported meshes. The easiest way to fix that is to use EZNifConvert and make everything :ffvstr: compatible.
I've tried to use blender and gmax to create :ff: compatible versions of my meshes. I've got it appear but not to animate. Does anyone have more experience with these that I should talk to?
As for Vic Sage, there is an excellent Question mesh by Gni available here (http://membres.lycos.fr/gniz713/PageWeb.htm). Now I've answered the question.

Dude, I dont even like the new Question, and now I want to use this skin/mesh. Its really swanky.
Yeah. You heard me. Swanky.
@Scorpion13mk2: Swanky is all I want to be.
@docdelorean88: Were it not for Gni, O'Connor would be the natural choice for Vic Sage.
@daglob: Glad I could alleviate your burden.
Now, as a result of my efforts in Blender and Nifscope on the Question Montoya mesh I built these two versatile creations.
An alteration of the Crymsin mesh to have a bunch of different body variations including: female_big_chest_heels, female_pants_shirt, female_pants, female_small_chest, female_small_chest_heels, female_no_mouth, female_no_face_pants

Not that you can really see which one is which based on my preview. The list above isn't even in the right order.
I also spent a while on this: I give you... Gni Versatile!
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SqW8ev7l8fI/AAAAAAAAKAo/dJYXVxDoMD4/s800/Gni.jpg)
I took all the parts on Gni's male_basic meshes and combined them into a single mesh. There's so much variation within the mesh that I had to post that collage just to show the possibilities. I also removed a bunch of bogus parts, translated some french piece names, and dug up some hidden parts like Gni's mask and sword. This should make life easier for skopers to make Gni based variants AND it's compatible with :ff:.
[edit: I didn't that collage really showed the mesh off.]

In order to keep keyframe compatibility I split the mesh into regular and jedi editions. The key difference being lightsabers. Everything else is the same.
There's so many pictures in this thread now. Labor Day clearly meant I had nothing to do.

Renee Montoya : Question, Tombstone Shadow, Male Gni Versatile, Male Gni Jedi Versatile, Female Basic Crymsin, are all available now at Ewzzy's Freedom Force (http://www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com/).
Awesome work Ewzzy on these latest batch of new skins and versatile meshes. Thanks for making things Ewzzy for us...i mean easy for us. :P
I'm glad to see you're still keeping busy after I moved out.
Keep it up, this stuff looks fantastic!
I like the gni mesh, i just think the kfs are so stiff, the idle is stiff and the meleidle is the boxer bob, i think we need an actual JLUquestion mesh soon!
@Outkast: Glad, I can make things Ewzzy for you.
@Locke: That had better not be your last post. Just cause we're not roommates is no excuse.
@Delorean: Well the mesh is Male_Basic compatible if you don't want to use the weapons.

There aren't nearly enough Invincible skins out there. Not nearly. I guess it's time for me to solve that.
Awesome! I've been waiting for a Rex Splode.
Question is very awesome too.

Nice job on Rex! :thumbup:
Love it - the colours are really great - kind of like inks....they're bright and bold without being overpowering. Really nice.
@Podmark: It's too bad he had to die, but at least he took out an evil Invincible in the process.
@Murs: So we agree. Excellent...
@Casanova: Wait till you see what's coming next.
@Artemis: Getting yellow to look right is the most arduous thing in the world. He spent a full hour of the process looking completely pastel.

Dang! That is a really nice Rex!!! Well done!
Thanks for the support everyone. Here's a vision of what I'm working on next.

:o
these are all really impressive ewzzy. the colors of the skins are just really crisp and vibrant. i'm becomming a huge fan.
I've been using a slightly different coloring technique on these to create a slightly more cartoony look. I guess that's just how I see the Invincible characters. They're very archetypal with very vibrant hues. Emotionally and storytelling wise, there is plenty of gray, but not in the characters.
Time to meet Allen.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/Sq6hp3HYvBI/AAAAAAAAKHM/VFdO5vuBuyc/s800/alan2.jpg)
Expect next week to see releases of all these guys and probably two more.
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/Sq6Zo94OB4I/AAAAAAAAKGY/iCEDS2h1sM8/s800/untitled.bmp.jpg)
Awesome. Way back I'd wanted to do more Invincible skins, but ended up concentrating on other things. It's great to see someone else skinning them.
Are you meshing at all or is this all skope work?
Lookin awe inspiring as always.#
They're really tall. Is everyone in Invincible a giant?
@Podmark: I've been using Blender to tweak here and there. I went a bit overboard creating the head for Allen. The proportions and accessories are all done in Nifskope. Its still almost completely a skope. (I'd never consider myself a mesher.)
@Artemis: That's just a trick of perspective. They're all male_basic height.

Is it easy to work in Blender? If so I might give it a try.
Honestly, the toughest part is getting it installed properly. You have to install six different things to get it to the point where it will read and write nif files. After that it's pretty easy. Mind you all I know how to do is move vertices and smooth/grab/inflate/pinch with the sculpt tool. I have no idea how to actually model an object from scratch, but I'll create a download package and tutorial sometime if you're interested.

Ditto.
Ewzzy, let me give you and advice, why don't you add a 3D Eye and eyebrow to Allen?
Ewzzy, your stuff rocks. I really like Allan and Rex-Splode's skope is insane.
@AfghatAnt & Daglob: Then it's unanimous. I'll get to it soon.
@Miguel: Why don't I? I'm terrible at modeling. No clue what I'm doing.
@LP: Thanks LP. Rex was surprisingly easy, actually. The body is Gni's male_jedi including it's sleeves. I took the collar from TJ's Aim agent, and the pouches were cribbed from AA's Shatterstar.

As Invincible is my favourite superhero comic at the moment, these amazing skins make me very happy :thumbup: If you keep releasing characters like those, I'm going to playing this game for awhile longer!
Just a query though ... how tall is the Allen skope? He's pretty big in the comics ... bigger than a tall human, anyway.

I'd be into it too? ;)
@Blkcasanova247: Hey if that's what you're into.
@Jakew: Invincible is actually the only comic I'm reading regularly anymore. I've never been one for buying monthly books and since Ron Marz left GL Invincible has been it. I realized that my Allen isn't tall enough after I took that screenshot. He's going to be fixed before final release.
I've posted the much requested tutorial on using Blender to modify meshes. Check it out here (http://freedomforce.ewzzy.com/blender.php). I don't want to jack my own skin thread so I created a thread (http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=51508) for discussing the ramifications of this in the hex forum.
In the tutorial I walk you though creating this weirdo.

glad your making him taller.the right heigth/build for a character is important.
nice, thanks for making this tutorial ^_^
Love the Invincible work my friend! May I make a small request though? can we see some more> I'd love a Dupli-Kate, Wolf Man and all the kick-butt bad guys.
Terrific job on Rex and Allen, Ewzzy. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:
Jeeze, between real life, writing that blender tutorial, and Scribblenauts I just haven't had enough time for skinning. I spent some time today making two relatively simple characters. Check em out.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SrbI7XxaC0I/AAAAAAAAKUM/cHk8_YKR01E/s800/duplikatemultipaul.jpg)
Dupli-Kate and Multi-Paul!
Expect releases of my Invinci-pals this week.
very very nice :cool:
After watching the Cowboys vs Giants game (go Giants!) I started working on a new skin. Before I knew it, I was done. Take a look.
The Immortal!
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SrcRFi23grI/AAAAAAAAKVA/L1jz2lvTozU/s800/the_immortal.jpg)
The toughest part was figuring out the back of this costume. He is drawn wildly inconsistently. I think I've got stealing Cory Walker's colors down.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
That is AWESOME!!! The Immortal is kind of a punching-bag in the comic, but his costume is undeniably one of the coolest.
Good colors, and his face is perfect. I think he could use a little shading between the colors, however. Right now he looks a little flat.
@Jakew: I've been a big fan of The Immortal ever since
Spoiler
they hinted he was Lincoln
. I love his costume because it's one that I would never think of despite it being relatively simple.
@Gremlin: I couldn't sleep so I opened Photoshop back up and adjusted some contrast levels. How do you like this:
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SrcvsvpevxI/AAAAAAAAKV0/BoJ0gpedhQw/s800/the_immortal2.jpg)
I'm still partial to the flatter style, but I can see why you might want the darker hues.
He looks awesome! :thumbup:
Dupli-Kate! YAY!
Thanks man, you supply all the characters on my wishlist! The copy-twins look great, and the Immortal is cool to. Are you planning any more characters frm this community? The Wolf-Man say? Or Pitt? Or even a few bad guys!
Here's hoping ^^
they are great skins love allen, the immortal and that killer rex-splode
I have no clue who any of these characters are but I do like distinct flatness in the color - it mimics the source art well. Dupli-Kate's face is very nice. Is she and Multi-Paul related? If so, why not try to make them look more like each other (I know the nose on the mesh you chose could be problematic).
Great work again, I'm dying to use your blender tutorial I just need some free time .
The Immortal is my favourite of the three, and I like both versions - the flatter colours do seem a bit odd at first but as AA said it channels the source material and that's a very good thing.
@Spyderman: :thumbup: Right back at ya!
@Ghazkul: Your wishlist lined up with what I wanted to do. I'm not as interested in Wolf-Man or Pitt. I'm trying to focus on characters created in the Invincible book.
@Cascarudo: Thank you armored catfish.
@AfghanAnt: Yeah, there supposed to be twins. I'm god awful at skinning faces and can't seem to make them look alike.
@Artemis: There you are! You haven't been around much lately. The tutorial can be completed in a half an hour if you don't get too experimental.

@AfghanAnt: Yeah, there supposed to be twins. I'm god awful at skinning faces and can't seem to make them look alike.
Take her face and either cut it and overlay over the male mesh or use the distort feature in photoshop and align using the wireframe of the mesh.
Sweet the Immortal. You're going a great job here.
In terms of character design, I'd say Brit and Titan (the Invincible bad guy with the stone skin) would probably be the simplest designs in the Invincible universe.
I've really wanted to skin the Noble Causes characters for awhile ... I may try when I have time. You're inspiring me with this Invincible stuff.
@AfghanAnt: I'll try it!
@Podmark: Thanks. I swear the only reason my skins seem like they're any good is because I try and skin characters nobody has done.
@Jakew: They're simple designs, but because of that it's difficult to make them recognizable. It's easy to make a stone guy in pants but to make it be Titan is another matter. Their looks just aren't iconic like Invincible and The Immortal.
I almost made myself a liar, but sure enough here's a new release today. Download Rex-Splode from my blog (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/09/freedom-force-rex-splode.html).

lol that's been my strategy for years!
Hmm...I like the color of the flatter hued skin, but the texture of the darker hued one is a lot more interesting, methinks. Although AA's right--it DOES look like it came straight out of the comic that way.
@Podmark: It works pretty well doesn't it?
@Gremlin: It's kind of like how C6 went though a black period where every skin's darkest parts were pure black. I'm avoiding using black or white altogether.
It's not midnight here on the West Coast (yet) so I'm still posting this in time for my release-a-day schedule to stay intact. I fixed the height since you saw him last, but otherwise not much has changed for Allen the Alien.
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SrmzqDmGfUI/AAAAAAAAKX4/At25E2vVLp4/s800/allen-the-alien.jpg)
DOWNLOAD ALLEN (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/09/freedom-force-allen-alient.html)
I fixed up this skin a lot before release. I couldn't stand the colors I had in my previews. I think I could still do a lot to this, but I don't want to complicate it more than I already have.
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SrqqeSfrm4I/AAAAAAAAKZk/pbZZMoqjjrc/s800/robot.jpg)
Robot is available on my blog (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/09/freedom-force-robot.html).
These characters have extended the play time of FFvTTR infintely for me. Thanks!!! :thumbup: Great interpretation of the comic book colouring, too!
Damn you!!! I've had to buy 7 volumes of Invincible because your work is so good (and my individual issues are in storage), keep it up!
Any viilains on the way by the way? The Lizard League, Furnace, Bi-Plain, Battle Beast, Mauler Twins, Octo-Boss, Conquest etc.
Also, even though the design is a little.... "awkward", what do you think about Kid Omni-Man and Monster-Girl?
@Jakew: I guess I'll just have to keep stinging you along with more Invincible.
@Ghazkul: Owning issues, trades, and ultimately hard covers I know your pain. I'm working on a secret non-Invincible project right now, but Monster Girl is next on my list. After that i'll be working through Invincible like I worked through Dr McNinja, with no discernible pattern.
I changed these two a lot since you saw them last. I tried AA's face matching. Ultimately settling with changing her skin tone to match his and using and altered version of her eyes on his face. I also changed Multi-Paul's mesh to male_basic to give him a more adult look like his sister.

Get them on my blog (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2009/09/freedom-force-dupli-kate-and-multi-paul.html). Tomorrow, with the release of The Immortal, there will be a new Invincible section at my FF site (http://freedomforce.ewzzy.com/).
Much nicer than the originals. From Rex Splode on I think you've been doing quite well with this flatter cartoony look. Robot and Rex Splode are highlights for me. Allen's leg muscles seem a bit much. Same with some of Multi-Paul and Dupli-Kate's. Maybe you ought to just go ahead and make your own base.
Come on, you can do it!
But, yeah, I'm loving where you're going here.
I think you really did a fine job in using the flat colors to make these characters seemingly jump right out of the comics. :cool:
Oh, and great work on the faces of Multi Paul and Dupli Kate. They definitely look like brother and sister now. :)
Yeah I have to say, I really like how these two turned out. Keep them coming :thumbup:
@UnkoMan: My attempts at making my own base in the past revealed a few things. I can't draw and have only a tenuous grasp on human anatomy. I'm not all there on Allen's legs either though. Of course, anybody is welcome to re-interpret and re-skin these. I release all my stuff under the creative commons for that very purpose.
@Outcast: So it's unanimous; they look related now. Excellent.
@jtharris86: Keep 'em' coming, I shall!

Wow! The ideas keep rolling in. At least I know you all have a relative grasp on pronouncing my name. (and can then make puns based on that)
I've been working with Benton on bringing a character of his to life for use in the Patriot City Tales/Liberty Bay universe. I give you now a time tossed hero from ancient days: Odysseus
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SsE5VJxN6JI/AAAAAAAAKd8/tCYdtWpSCc4/s800/Screen%20Captures.jpg)
Benton has had this write up (http://libertybay.freedomforceforever.com/Odysseus.htm) on the character available for a while, but no visual rendition for quite some time. I'm proud to help him bring his creation into a playable state.
...but there's a problem. You see, after extensive skoping and skinning I was ready to create my reflections. (usually the last step in my process) It didn't turn out right. I've exaggerated the problem here with a green lightmap.
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/SsE6Af_taGI/AAAAAAAAKec/pHtaLIv3Pic/s800/Screen%20Captures1.jpg)
The mapping is incorrect on some of the pieces but only on their reflections. I did alter the uvmap on almost all the pieces to fit into 2 extras textures. Does anyone know how to fix this? The problem is only on the shoulders and the belt. Both of those had reflection before I skoped them on.
dude,i'm so glad youv'e done that character! :thumbup:
Ewzzy, as I've said via PM, he is absolutely perfect! I had only a vague idea of what he should look like, but you've taken my concept and given him really fantastic and distinctive life. Thank you so much for taking him on! Now he can appear in the future versions of Liberty Bay, and in the next Episode of PCT!
Cool.
the hair/beard/facial look screams...hercules!!! :lol:
Wow, that's one great design.
OMG! I loooooved reading the odesey as well as the trojan war! I was so excited to see the description of this character, but there was never an acutal in game character. Cool design true to the character! Great work!
Fantastic job. I love the mythological characters
Dude! Could Jason and the Argonauts be far behind? Perseus? Mythical Hercules?
Howaboot the Ray Harryhausen versions of these characters? A Harryhausen Jason or Perseus? Sinbad too!

When you move the UV map, you also have to move it for the Refl (aka Gloss) and Glow layers. When you have the UV editor window open, right-click on it and you'll see a command called "Select Texture Slot". From there, you can switch the view to the Gloss and Glow layers, and move them so that they match up with the main skin.
...oh snaps.
I'm gonna have to find those old shooting scripts...
Yes, very nice. Thanks for doing this.
how about "you like me because i'm EWZZY!".....thats all ive got. :)
@Herodad: I'm glad that you're glad. I wanted it to scream Odysseus, but Greek's Greek ya know?
@Benton: I don't do requests often, but I'm glad I could work on this with you.
@Podmark: Cool.
@Harris: I don't like designing my very often because of my indulging bad habits of over design. I tried to keep this one as simple as possible and avoid that.
@Delorean: The Odyssey was probably my favorite bit of assigned reading in school.
@SteamTek: Thanks!
@Scorp: Very very far behind. As I said, this is a rare request job. I love myths as much as the next guy, but I've got a long list of characters ahead of them. (very long)
@JKCarrier: That worked perfectly! :thumbup:
@Gremlin: That, you will.
@Cat: You're welcome.
Thanks to JKCarrier's perfect tip I was able to finish the skin's reflection and ship it out.

Out of interest, would you be up for skinning and/or meshing Skaar, Son Of Hulk? I started a request thread for him a few times but no one seem to like him. I think that you however would be able to do great things with the character.
Bad Ghazkul! No requests! We need to keep him fresh in case he wants to do any more Liberty Bay stuff! :P
very cool! I'm very excited
Mmmmm.....MMM!
That skin/mesh is mythlicious. I loves it.
that turned out real nice
That is a VERY nice design. I dig it quite a bit. Can't wait to see him in action.
Must say, Ewz, this is the first time in a long time I've checked up on this. You have kept yourself busy.
Though I'm incredibly impressed with your Incredible skins (for some reason Robot jumps out as the best done after his color tweaks), I must say the Odysseus skin is, in my opinion, your best work yet. I know you're great at interpreting from the comic format (the more cartoony look of the Invincible series is stunning) this makes me hopeful that you're even better at designing original characters. Do that more, because my god Odysseus looks fantastic.
Keep it up, dude.

What he said.
Nice skin/skope, Ewzzy.
This is great! :thumbup:
Veryyyyy nice work on a great character! In particular, the dosage of classical Greece and comic book feel is to be commended.
Thanks!
Again, awesome job on the face here Ewzzy. I also like the little details you've added to his armor. Nice sandals too. :P Looks great all in all. :thumbup:
1000th post? Well here's hoping you'll add 1000 more posts to it. :P
Thanks everyone. I'm sorry to announce this, but I'm taking a break for a while. I've hit a though time in my job search and it looks like I might be moving cross country again soon. I might do some skinning here and there, but my output will be approaching zero. RL is hard, you know?
PS: If there is anyone in the Dallas area who knows a place where an occasionally brilliant young digital artist can work I'd love to hear it.
Good luck man. Thanks for all the hard work and great creativity over the last few months. I'm sure when there's "real" time that your ouput will increase and then we can all enjoy your talent again.

Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that Ewzzy! I've been in that position, and I actually spent a year working odd jobs because I COULDN'T move cross country to find a job in my field. I spent many a lonely night working in Blockbuster, wondering how Mrs. Grey's bright young son had come to this. That's what happens when you're married to a lovely lady who is partway through a doctoral program, it rather cuts down on your options for employment to whatever is in the immediate vicinity.
Good luck man. I know things are tough right now, but you are a talented guy. I have no doubt that you'll be able to find something, even if it does mean a little enforced sight-seeing.
Thanks for all your hard work Ewzzy. Hope everything works out for you in RL. :mellow:
please dont leave :puppyeyes:
Thanks everyone. The main reason I took up skinning this summer was because I could only spend so much time job searching. I still haven't found work but LA has proven to be a bad place for me emotionally so I'm moving in with some friends in Dallas. I appreciate everyone's kind words. Freedom Reborn means a lot to me because of people like you. Don't worry Murs, I'm not leaving FF entirely. I'm working on another project which you can see here (http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=51685.0). It isn't my usual fare but you might think it's cool anyway.
Thanks for your Invincible stuff, Ewzzy ... it's great! Still can't believe I can finally play with Allen the Alien in FF!
best of luck on the job hunt ewzzy. hopefully dallas treats you better than la.

Every time I think I'm back FF keeps pulling me back in. If you haven't been reading El Gorgo (http://elgorgo.com/) then you should know not only is he a gorilla, "He's a Rock Star, a Professional Wrestler, a Historical novelist, and a Freakin' Superhero" (and the world's greatest surf guitarist). I won't bore you with where I've been unless you really want to know. Lastly: is there a good mesh for a Luchadore gorilla?
Looks interesting! :thumbup:
I'm gonna have to finish Santo now...
Awesome! I was really sad when you retired before Ewzzy, but this just proves my point. We're all FR'ers for life. :D I love that mask, very cool!
That style is really cool ewzzy! I know nothing of the character but I like what's going on so far. I'm glad you're back too. ^_^
Got to echo others statements, that is a really cool style.
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBhbfjsMHsI/AAAAAAAAMQs/5G2Twpctejs/s800/Fullscreen-capture-6162010-125759-AM.jpg)
It feels good to whip up a new skin. How does he look?
He looks barefoot, so maybe a mesh with toes would look stronger. I think Johnny Patches has a Beast_with_toes skope on the Champions site. Also I wouldn't mind seeing how this would look with the belt and bracers skoped on. Otherwise, I'm really liking this skin. I think the face is great (understatement).
Always happy to see people coming back Ewzzy.
El Gorgo is looking pretty good and accurate to me. :)
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBjr09Kv7VI/AAAAAAAAMRg/JJUXO6dBV2c/s800/Fullscreen-capture-6162010-110303-AM.jpg)
@Amazo That beast mesh was just what I was looking for! Now he looks much more like El Gorgo!
Thanks for welcoming me back everyone. Can I get a mesh suggestion for a guy with a fireman's axe?
Holy crap! You skin very quickly! Very nice might I add.
As for a fireman's axe, I have no idea where to find one. Sorry.
Tommyboy's TV_Meshes may have something you could use, or at least something that can be altered to match your needs.
Very nice, love the face. :cool:
Hey Ewzzy.. welcome back!
Nice skin, too. The mask came out great.
Oh man... I love El Gorgo. That's awesome!
Fireman's axe, huh? I bet I can guess your next skin...
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBku1ngK6fI/AAAAAAAAMRw/rU_ohD2F2Bs/s800/Fullscreen%20capture%206162010%2040616%20PM.jpg)
I've barely begun but this should expose my plan (http://axecop.com/).
ps: Thanks Daglob for trying to find me an axe. I actually pulled this one from Fallout 3 which runs on the same engine as FF.
Good to see you back Ewzzy! :thumbup:
Holy crap! That looks realy nice! Keep it up :thumbup:
So what? Is your thing now to like, do skins and meshes of webcomic guys?
Cuz thats AWESOME.
Omg, looooove the webcomic work!
Ha! Very cool!
Ive been reading that Axe-Cop thing since you posted it last night and dude...what the hell?
You know, only a 5 year-old kid can be that random.
It makes Dr. friggin McNinja seem sober and starkly realistic in comparison. The artwork is fantastic on it. Im enjoying.
I really like your color palette and cellshaded-like skinning technique. The combination of the skinning and meshing together on El Gorgo looks especially fantastic.
Another thing, your inspiration for skinning is so unusual that it makes the work even more interesting to look at. It's not another Spidey or Thor, it's small publishers, indie, and web comics. It's neat being introduced to all these characters I'm not familiar with.
I can not wait to see Axe Cop completed - I read one strip and I had to bookmarked that site.

Yeah, I just got done reading. Avacado Soldier? Uni-Baby? Vampire Baby Man kid? Sockarang? Bad Santa? Come on now!
I just noticed right now something on Gorgo's hands; you Kirby-ed them. NICE. I dont think Ive ever seen somebody do the Kirby style side of fingers/fist shading thing.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBq5JnXFBTI/AAAAAAAAMSI/7r8z8Fx7h5w/s800/axecop.jpg)
There is still a bit to be done, but this should is basically what he looks like.
@Scorp: I didn't actually do a lot to get that effect. I used "Surface Blur" in Photoshop which, in addition to cleaning up noise, flatten out gradients. The rest is just the high contrast of the fur and the big hands on the mesh.
@Spyder: Axe Cop is amazing isn't it? I've heard some people out there try and claim the kid is psychotic but he's just a kid thinking like kids think. The fact that his brother is actually a great artist makes things like Sockarang seem totally natural.
@Afghan: That means a lot coming from such an amazing artist as yourself. I know good and well that I can't compete making any big names when guys like you and C6 are around, so I dug my own niche.
@Everyone else: Thanks for the support!
Amazing details all around. :cool:
(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBrQ1t6C49I/AAAAAAAAMSw/dmuqL449Gcc/s800/axecop.jpg)
I don't know why I post incomplete updates. I always seem to do it right before I unleash the final version. This time only Murs made it in before I delivered.
BTW: I will be releasing these on my site soon. I hate to leave you waiting.
I must say, that's awesome! :thumbup:
So are you doing Uni-Avocado man?
Sockarang is clearly the way to go.
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBuJJZ4UlGI/AAAAAAAAMTY/aVbIy-jEUhY/s800/mustaches.jpg)
Mustaches.
Axe Cop is now available on my blog. (http://blog.ewzzy.com) Of course if you followed my blog you would already know that.
Holy DAMMIT.
A battle for the ages.
I love how in that comic EVERYTHING has the same properties of werewolves/zombie. If you get bit by something or have it's blood touch you, you become a were-thing. Even stuff like, avocados. EVEN ROBOTS. This thing is lunacy. I love it.
Look at this. You might like it.

YAY Ewzzy is back with more amazing skins!
Love axe cop, again, your skoping skills add the extra flourish and bring the character to life.
And El Gorgo is beautifully done, great linework and texture.
Glad to see more work from you. :)
Time for more of the most thrill filled skinning action this side of Betelgeuse!
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBwVtysop3I/AAAAAAAAMTw/CWwhjnmz6v8/s800/EddieDevil1.jpg)
"Like El Gorgo, Eddie is a freelance agent for LUCHA LIBERTY. He?s a blue-colar luchador and total gearhead. His name is inspired by the legendary guitarist Eddie Angel of Los Straitjackets."
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TBwVvU9bwiI/AAAAAAAAMT0/PpCq-v-y_Es/s800/EddieDevil2.jpg)
That right there, with a little tweaking left might be my favorite skin I've done. Does anyone know of a mesh with cigarette smoking animations? Anything close?
Texas Jack has one that has a smoking FX that is here http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TwistedEarth4/files/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TwistedEarth4/files/)
Daaaamn man, I love them!! El Gorgo is one of my faves!!
Have you ever eread Spinnerette? (http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/ (http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/)) It's kind of new, but still amazing!! I've tried doing sum webcomic stuff, but I wanted to start there, but failed.
I hope there's more El Gorgo stuff!
@Tap: I ended up not going with the smoking feature. I'd have to leave it in his mouth or hand and even then the smoke was a bit too powerful.
@Ghazkul: I've never heard of Spinnerette. I've heard of the band Spinnerette (http://www.spinnerettemusic.com/). In fact you can see on my last.fm page (http://www.last.fm/user/Ewzzy/charts) they're in my top 10. Based on name alone I'm going to give that comic a good look.

Here's a preview of my next skin. A no-prize to who-ever figure out which corner of the web she's from.
I can't imagine a naked lady getting less of a reaction. You may not have cared much for my skope preview but you'll bow down before, Penny Devlin, Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N. (http://www.actionagecomics.com/?cat=13)

very nice work on this fine lady Ewzzy. Even the guns look beautiful.
Very nice! :thumbup:
I was gonna say that your skope looked an awful lot like Penny Devlin... GREAT JOB!
I did some more work on Penny, but the only real improvement is that her boobs look better. Yay me? You'll see it later.
I also was working on effects for Axe Cop but my scale was WAAAAY off.

Final version of Eddie Devil
I just uploaded all my new skins to my FF Sub-Site (http://freedomforce.ewzzy.com/) along with my new essay on skin compression.
Really liking both of these. Nice texture on Eddie's shrt and jacket. And to answer your question... :lol:
Fantastic work, Ewzzy! I really like Eddie Devil. You made his colors really "pop." Good work on the girl's face as well, she's got a pretty intense expression.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_5lIbUH5s9lc/TC46UtZ58JI/AAAAAAAAMwg/IOUYwMHLJZg/s800/Fullscreen%20capture%20722010%2031212%20PM.jpg)
I spent a while in Blender trying to export this guy correctly. He started as a male_basic mesh. I'll probably try and skope a trench coat and guns onto him before I'm done.
@Benton: I actually didn't want her to have such an intense expression, but I'm really bad at faces. I had a much more subdued palette at first on both of them, which looked more "realistic" but that's the only thing at all realistic in what I do so i through it away and added a "vibrance" filter to force the colors to pop. You can see the difference if you look at my first draft of Eddie to the final release.

Both Solomon and El Santo are amazing! Keep up the awesome work!
And I don't know what it is, but I love the way you skin your characters. They have that 'webcomic' feel to then.
Very nice, the cloth work on Solomon is especially well done.

Ahhh! Beat me to it. Looks good. I guess I'll just have to finish the Masked Medic and release him.
Any chance we can get a turtleneck-and-slacks or leisure suit variant on El Santo?
I could have sworn I commented here recently, sorry Ewzzy.
You've established a really strong niche for yourself here by skinning so many non-mainstream characters, and eveerything that you have skinned shows an amazing quality in it's detail and depth. Beautifully colored, as well. Really impressive Ewzzy.
@Cyber Burn I actually thought for a while that people must just hate Solomon Stone since nobody replied. Ha!
@Hitman I intend to put together a turtlneck-suit version as well as El Hijo Del Santo from the cartoon (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2010/07/santo-contra-los-clones.html (http://blog.ewzzy.com/2010/07/santo-contra-los-clones.html)) including Jet Boots and lazer cuffs. That will probably be based on Ren's Owlman mesh.
@Daglob I thought I heard you mention you where doing an El Santo. I've just been on a real Lucha kick lately so I couldn't resist.
@Murs The cloth work is distantly related to skins I did a long time ago based on Gni's work. I just keep recycling parts from my old work until I start thinking it looks bad or I lose the PSD.
@Spyderman I'm not sure what a "webcomic look" is but really I just try to make my skins really vibrant with smooth lightly texture surfaces.
NEWS: I had my work machine's windows installation die last night, but re-installing windows has become a seasonal event for me anyway. (last time was around Christmas) The good news is I save all my work to an external hard drive. Better news is I actually have a new machine coming that is top of the line and will greatly enhance my ability to work on skins. (more importantly my freelance graphic design jobs)
I also just noticed that my Penny Devlin skin doesn't seem to work in game. My skoping must have gotten out of hand. I'm likely to take another stab at her and re-release alongside my finished Solomon Stone skope. I've gone all out with him and you'll really enjoy his extras. I've got big plans in the future which may or may not come to be.
Spoiler
El Santo y Blue Devil, The Middleman and Wendy Watson, selections from The Venture Bros cast, and a preview of my own webcomic!?
Ah!
AH!!
AAAAHHH!!!

Nice. I really enjoyed the El Santo cartoon when it aired (mid-2000's Cartoon Network Mexico?), and can't wait to see that version of him done, as well as the ridiculous "business casual" look. I've been a big fan of your work for a while now, and this recent batch of skins are excellent. Keep up the great work!
(And a new webcomic? Awesome!)

All as great as I have come to expect from you, Ewzzy. You know, there is something about your style that reminds me of the original FF characters...and that is a really good thing. I'm really impressed with that Solomon Stone one. Great work, especially on his face and shirt.
The colors just look so vivid, really just pulls the eyes towards them.
Amazing clothwork in El Santo, Axe Ninja and Woman of Action. The faces are very impressive too.
