I don't have much time for it, but I've been trying to skin here and there.
Here's one that I've been playing with for a while: http://www.atlasarchives.com/images/phoenix_1.jpg
Efforts from a couple of years ago:

Right now I like the bottom face better. And the leg stripes are not symetrical, so I have to fix that.
Anyway, please discuss.
I agree the secibd face is better, it's very distinctive and full of character.
Is that DarkJared base? ^_^ I miss the Skindex.

Skindex.... omg that was a time :rolleyes:
for your first attempts, those are good. I like the beady eyed look of the first one. hopefully we'll see more skins from ya ;)
I like the general design of the costume.
I personally prefer the first face, actually. It seems more intense.
Thanks for the kind words.

With my skins, I poach from a lot of released base skins. But for the flesh base, I have combined elements primarily from Googleplex's and DarkJered's bases. I'm still a bit too ham-fisted to try my own faces, but I am consciously trying to avoid C6's faces. If anything, I am devoted to recycling and keeping the legacies of early contributors alive.
I like the 2nd face. Nice job.
I like the first face. The eyes seem a bit too wide in the second. Like he is going mad.
I like the base used. It stands out. It's good to get your own style.
This costume is interesting. Neat lines. A suggestion, don't let where the foot meets leg be cut so abruptly. I know, it's a mesh thing, but try to add some shadow on the foot or something so it looks more natural. Same with the waist. Trust me, it'll look a lot better, and really isn't hard.
Also, is his costume suppose to be metal or just shiny? For shiny it looks fine, for metal you'll need higher contrast and stuff, but ask somebody else. I stink at it.
Good job. Keep it up.
First face looks better for me too. Giving it additional highlights and seams could make it look even better. :)
