Title: Superboy & Aquaboy
Post by: John Jr. on March 14, 2010, 04:12:48 PM
Hi guys,
I'm working in a pet project (one I want to do since I began to mod) and need help from a real skinner. I need a different Superboy (one who looks like an older, non-smiling, version of Ren's Superboy) and an Aquaboy. Thanks to some great tips from Area  34 I could skope Superboy myself, but I can't do a decent skin. May someone give me a hand? Thanks!
EDIT: I have a mesh for Aquaboy too, so I need just the skins.
PS: If you never heard about an Aquaboy just check this great site:

What about the VX version of Superboy with C6's skin? It is a little more mature than Ren's version.

I agree with DM. I would use C6's. No reason to make a brand new skin when his would work.

Maybe, you could do Aquaboy by placing an Aquaman skin in one of the male teen meshes.

Thanks for the tips, guys.
I already used VX Superboy with C6 skin in my Legion Mod, so I wanted to use something different (and, of course, I wanted to use my own skope. It's my first :P ).
Aquaboy and Superboy will be about 18, 19 years old in my story, so I can't use the teen meshes. I believe a different skin, with a younger face, would be enough for Aquaboy (Aquaman meshes usually are not so buff as Superman ones).

Okay JJ, check your email.  I think this should work just fine for Aquaboy.

The idea for this Mod was inspired by the Superboy team ups from the 70's (DC just collected them in a trade paperback:  http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/graphic_novels/?gn=13640), specially two: Aquaboy and The Executioner (never heard about him? We'll, let's say he grown up to be someone VERY important in the DCU).
The Mod would use the heroes when they were about 18-n    years old, all facing a "coming of age".
-Superboy just lost his adoptive parents and left Smallville for Metropolis. Krypto has gone to the space, Lana Lang and Pete Ross moved away. For the first time in his life our Teen of Steel is completely alone, a stranger, an alien.
-Aquaboy is a half breed atlantean, the son of a surface dweller and an Atlantean. He knows there is a whole city full of people like him. But he doesn't know where he can begin his quest for Atlantis. Our Marine Marvel is bound and determined to find Atlantis and discover more about his mother's people.
-The Executioner? Well, he has changed from a revenge driven teen to a..., well a revenge driven teen with a plan! He knows he need to learn more and more to become the crime fighter he wants to be, but what kind of crime fighter? A policeman? A masked avenger? He needs answers and he'll find them.
A dangerous conspiracy will bring the three young heroes together against enemies no one knows about. No one, except a detective called Jones, a guy with a very strange secret.
I believe I have Executioner, Detective Jones and the villains covered, so I just need skins for Superboy and Aquaboy. Hope someone can help.

I just want to give a big and public "thank you!" to Tommyboy for his help with the Aquaboy skin. I asked some tips and he gave me instead a great looking base, with 99% of the job done.
Thanks again, Tom!
