Title: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Bloodshadow on December 03, 2010, 04:12:31 AM
Its been a little while,but I'm still skinnin' ;)
Couple originals for my own Golden Age story,1st is the son and sidekick of my hero Gold Eagle,Silverhawk.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/Silverhawkv2.png)
Next is the Gold Eagles main villain,The Reaper
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/Reaper.png)
So whatcha think?
Next up is some Flash villains I've been working on, a very colorful one 1st ;) A redo of the very first skin I made :cool:

  Very subdued and dark colors with a certain elegance to them. I like them very much actually.

Great work man. Very clean and sleak design for Silverhawk but I gotta ask...where's the silver? :P Just the chest emblem? I'd maybe make the lighter gray areas silver and possibly loose the belt.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Podmark on December 03, 2010, 02:09:33 PM
Very nice, both of them.
What mesh is Silverhawk on?

He's on Renegades male_teen_14

I had thought about that when I was working on him,didn't because I thought it might be too flashy,but now since you suggested it too :cool:I think I'll do another with silver and see how he turns out.
Thanks for all your input guys,see ya soon :D

Post by: laughing paradox on December 03, 2010, 05:03:56 PM
I really like the Reaper. That's a very cool design.

I like Silverhawk, too. I agree with BCasanova's suggestions about putting the silver in Silverhawk.

OK I said it was gonna be Rainbow Raider next,but I hit a snag and am restarting him,in the meantime here another Flash villain,Weather Wizard
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/WeatherWizard.png)
I'm on a Flash villain kick right now but after that I think I'll start on some Titans villains,anyway what ya think?

Love your skins Bloodshadow, they always look so clean and crisp.

Thanks for the comments guys :D
Today I have a WIP,very early stage,I just wanted some opinions on what I have so far.This is my 1st true attempt at a base skin so it will probably take a while to do,plus I have a lot of fur to skin ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/c1.png)
Many thanks to Daglob for sending me Beyonder's awesome bunny :cool:
His name is "Clover",I already have 3 fx made for him(yep my first fx too :D)and a voice pack is well under way.I have 3 skins planned out just need to do his base 1st.
Mainly though I'm not sure if his belly button looks right or if I should move it down some and do his eyes and nose look ok?
Thanks for any help guys and gals :cool:
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on December 30, 2010, 08:52:45 PM
I like the face, I agree that the belly button should be a bit lower, and the toes kind of seem a bit off. This is a really good start, I look forward to seeing the progress on this.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: martialstorm on December 30, 2010, 11:26:31 PM
Really like your original designs Blood, very iconic and clean. The textures look very good on your Weather Wizard as well.

Hi Bloodshadow,

Your rabbit base is looking very nice!   :thumbup:

I can not wait to see the finished product.

Great skins, specially Reaper. The rabbit is very nice too, my daughter loved him.

Thanks for the input guys :DAnd glad to hear your daughter liked Clover JJ :cool:
Clover is coming along but I got sidetracked with a redesign idea that I think turned out really cool,My speedster "Blindspot" and his former friend turned arch enemy "Road Rage"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/Blindspot.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/RoadRage.png)
Whatcha think guys and gals?
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: BentonGrey on January 10, 2011, 07:24:44 AM
Ha, I love the name "Road Rage" for an evil speedster.  That's good stuff, and I really like the basic design of these two guys, however, they are so similar that I feel like something isn't quite right.  They look like two members of the same team, rather than a good guy and a rogue.  You've got some great work here, Bloodshadow.  I really like that Weather Wizard!
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on January 10, 2011, 07:54:57 AM
Great job on these two guys. I like how seemlessly the chest/neck area flows. I do agree with Benton on Road Rage though. I think it's the color, yellow and red are just too close on the color charts (IMO). I would seperate them a little more, kind of symbolic of the seperation of their friendship. But either way, I would love to see these guys in game.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: martialstorm on January 10, 2011, 11:33:54 AM
The speedster designs look great Blood, i'm picking up a bit of a Flash/ Reverse Flash connection between the uniforms which works for me.

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Amazo Version 2.2 on January 10, 2011, 09:46:31 PM
the flash/zoom similarities hit me at frist too. but after looking over the costumes again, i think the colors may have been a bit better suited to just being flipped. but i think you have some great designs here. the design is really strong as well as streamlined. nice.

Unfortunately the reason I haven't replied sooner,my hard drive crashed. :angry:Now I have a new comp,but its going to take a long time to reload everything,especially since I have to get used to windows 7 now :angry:
I lost a lot of my recent skins and my new power fx :angry:
I did manage to save Blindspot and Road Rage thanks to a friend so its not all bad news,just mostly bad :(
I should be back skinning again soon though,talk to ya then.

Wow,its been a long time since I posted here,I previewed my Wasp skins and a couple others at TOF a couple months ago.I'll post some pics here soon along with my second series of Wasp skins previews soon.
For now I just want to say a very big Thank You! to Grenadier for making a dedicated She Hulk mesh(and the other 44 Halloween treats ;))I've been wanting this for years,so here is the 1st in my new skinpack starring the Sensational She Hulk.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/SheHulk1.png)
Be back soon and have a Happy Halloween ^_^

Now for the Wasp previews I promised......
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/WaspPackPt1.png)
Those are all the 1st pack and are available at my yahoo group,the second pack is almost finished and I'll preview a pic as soon as they're ready.

You gotta give your self more credit here. The face has a real arrogant look to it as well. Nicely done.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: ShawDAMAN on November 01, 2011, 08:33:05 PM
I hesitate to suggest anything, but if I had to, maybe just lighten up a bit of the darkness under the eyes? Just a thought.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: BentonGrey on November 03, 2011, 03:53:19 AM
Yeah, the little smirk is great.  I do agree with ShawDaman, though.  You can improve her face, and I think lightening up on the shading you've done around her eyes will help that.  At the moment, I think her brow is too heavily shaded.  You're sort of losing the eyebrow in there.  The costumes are excellently done. :)

I just finished Nemesis Kid and am about half way on Chameleon Chief.
I would like to do all of them but a couple would definately need a mesh made like Zymyr and Hunter,so I probably won't get to do them :(

P.S. Would anyone have or be willing to make a skope of a male_basic_fx with long hair?(for Sun Emperor)Any help or suggestions are appreciated greatly.

There IS a mesh for the Hunter. Tommyboy created it.. it's in his Legion mod. I have to re-download that.

I can skope some hair onto a vxHuman_Torch, if you'd like. You can skin Sun Emperor and Mist Master on it. I'll skope it up and send it to your email.

A big Thank You to Laughing Paradox,Now I'll be able to skin the whole LSV except Zymyr :D
Here is the next three,Mist Master is on the Sun Emperor skope LP made for me(Sun Emperor is already started).Nemesis kid is on a hex of Grenadiers Vision mesh,but now I have Tommy's Nemesis Kid mesh so I'll be doing an updated version later on for Tommy's mesh.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Bloodshadow13/LSV2.png)
Be back soon with the next three,only 17 more to do :P

P.S. Check out my cool new pony avatar,Big Thank You to Tomato for making it :cool:

Just an update,I'm still working on more Legion Of Supervillains (getting back to them now)but I've been doing more originals and spending a lot more time at the drawing table.I'll have some previews of some of my new originals in a day or so and probably more LSV within a week or so.My friend that was helping me make our mod dropped out,so I'll probably just preview and release the skins,fx and map here pretty soon as the mod probably won't ever be made :(
back soon with some preview pics.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: UnkoMan on February 19, 2012, 08:30:24 PM

You could always release everything AND the mod story and see if somebody wants to do the coding. I mean, if the resources are already done, right?

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Bloodshadow on April 23, 2013, 06:17:48 AM
Wow,its been a while,had to look a little to find my thread :P
I decided for my first skin coming back it was time to finally make a new avatar,Thanks to CyberBurn's fantastic skoping skills I give you the all new Bloodshadow
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/Bloodshadow_zps9d5c5dbc.png)
This is a work in progress,I still have a lot more I want to do,just wanted to show off CyberBurn's awesome skope and get a little feed back on my new design.This design took me a long time to really get the look I was going for but I am more than happy with the result.(which was difficult because I was competing with an unbelievably bad a$$ design that Courtnall6 created for me years ago)
The overall design is an amalgam of a lot of personal loves such as....
the Red &Black color scheme=my love of the Chicago Bulls
the Batcape and glove blades=my love of DC comics (Batman)
the dragon symbol and fighting skills=my love of Marvel comics (Iron Fist)
with all that in mind I also wanted to make a full origin story and rogues gallery and really put some time into the development of my avatar.I've already got quite a few villains in the works and will be posting my origin story here when I post the final version of this skin.
Just wanted to give you guys a little idea where I'm going with the whole idea,Thank you in advance for your comments. :cool:
P.S. Just wanted to say Thank you again CyberBurn,This skope is great :D
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Helix on April 23, 2013, 01:26:16 PM

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on April 23, 2013, 05:52:36 PM
The new Avatar look great Bloodshadow, but you're giving me way to much credit for the skope, it's just a stripped down Batman_Gren mesh with some extras added on.

Glad to see you skinning again too, I hope to see more.

I didn't comment on this already? what?

Love the new avatar design, and I'm always a sucker for red/black costumes. Skin is nice and clean, about the only thing I'd change is maybe ad some depth to the belt, but it looks fine as-is. Also, props on the cast shadows from the belt and hood, they really do add to the skin.

I like the first 3 quite a bit.
Not really digging Road Rage though, which is odd since he's a reverse of Blindspot 2. Must be the colours.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread

Blindspot 2 is a really strong design. I especially like Golden Eagle.

QuoteI like the first 3 quite a bit.
Not really digging Road Rage though, which is odd since he's a reverse of Blindspot 2. Must be the colours.
I'm with ya on that,I went with orange and black to resemble a road hazard sign but never have been totally happy with him thanks to the colors.Color combinations seems to be the hardest part of creation for me.
QuoteYou know that I'm already a fan of BlindSpot and RoadRage, but I think that the Streak is my new favorite.
That is so cool,he's a pretty basic design but I really like him and he looks really good in game.

I definitely agree with this.

EDIT: Just wanted to let everyone know that Bloodshadow skinned and sent me an ALT Avatar. It looks really great! I would love to see it get previewed here.

This is my alternate version of Cyber Burn's avatar,which I made because I wanted to start doing some avatars to give a little back to the community here that has been a part of my life for 10 years and who better to start with than Cyber Burn.He has helped me many times when I've needed skopes done,I see him constantly helping other members whether it be skoping,character ideas,sending skins,etc. and the guy NEVER asks for anything in return.I can't think of anyone more deserving of recognition,Thanks for all your efforts Cyber :cool:
P.S. I'm really glad you like it,I tried to stay faithful to your original design but at the same time put in some of my own design style and I think it turned out pretty cool. :D

Those speedsters are very nice, I really like the logo on the Streak's costume. The alternate version of Cyber Burn's avatar looks great, that's a cool redesign.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Helix on May 16, 2013, 10:04:49 PM
I have to agree; I love the simple elegance of the Streak's costume!

And nice work on Cyber's avatar! It was really cool of you to do that. You're right...he consistently bends over backwards to help out his fellow FFers. I think most of us owe him a great deal of gratitude for one good deed or another.

Cyber, you've been a great friend and member of the community since you joined, and I don't think there's a single person who has earned as much respect around here as you have. I think I've mentioned this before, but I have never seen the members of this community as upset as they were that one time someone tried to take advantage of you... I thought Benton was going to start chewing the furniture.

This redesign is brilliant work, very well executed, and one of my personal favorite Cyber Burn designs so far.

I'm back with another Avatar,thought I would take a shot at this one just because I really like his name and it inspired me to make a skin for the really cool skope Afghan Ant made for his own character Raijin.And so I give you.....Windblown
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/WindblownAlt_zps1356e829.png)
I'm working on an original villain team I'm calling "The Death Squad" right now,I've got Skullcrusher and Pyre done,but still got a lot to do on Ritual and haven't even started Apparition yet.I should have a pic up within a couple days though,til then what do you think of Windblown?

Post by: deano_ue on May 19, 2013, 05:46:26 PM
the designs are great and the lines are clean as the can be.

but and i guess i'm gonna be the bad guy they dont seem to have any pop factor. the colours of some like CB's red or the whites on windblown seem kinda flat, and its a very easy fix they just need a little bit of highlights. it would offset the dark tones and give it a bit of more punch
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Helix on May 19, 2013, 10:13:35 PM
Ultimate Evil -There's nothing wrong with that assessment. It certainly doesn't make you the bad guy. I think most of us are open to constructive criticism from other skinners.

Personally, I think highlights are a double-edged sword; mostly, they are great and they add depth to the skin, but they can be way overdone too. For example, sometimes I see a skin that has a highlight or two in impossible places. That kind of thing gives me a facial tick.  :banghead: In my opinion, I wouldn't change Bloodshadow's Windblown skin, because (to me) it just looks like it's made of a less reflective material than the design features on the chest and arms. I think the contrast looks kind of cool. It would look cool with seams up the sides of the solid blue part, though. The new Cyber Burn avatar, however, I might have used a muscular base for the white parts of the costume and beveled the edges of the red parts.

All in all, Bloodshadow, that Windblown skin is absolutely my favorite original design ever: It's clean, it's elegant, it's not overdone...and I hope you release it so i can play with it!  :thumbup:

I'm having some problems with my last two Death Squad members and my next avatar is taking a little longer than I expected so until one of those is ready I give you a redesign of an old original of mine called Flashfire.
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/Flashfire_zpsb15063dd.png)
I'm not real happy with the hair so I might do a redo if I can find a mesh with that type of hair :unsure:
Whatcha think?See ya soon :D
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on May 22, 2013, 08:16:48 PM
I think it looks good as is in regards to the hair, and the mask is really well done. But if you really want hair on the mesh, if you happen to find hair that you would want on it, let me know, I could try to skope it on for you.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: daglob on May 22, 2013, 11:17:54 PM
Beyonder's "Male Hair Bangs" looks a lot like that. It uses male Basic kf. It has also been converted to FFv3R if that's what you need (for those of you who don't know, early attempts to convert Beyonder's "hair" meshes did not work).
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Helix on May 23, 2013, 02:45:18 AM
Bloodshadow - I have a vxFlash_West with hair skoped onto it (thank you again Cyber Burn!). All you'd have to do it hex off the ear thingies. Would you like a copy?

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Podmark on May 23, 2013, 11:58:44 PM
Flashfire has a cool design but I definitely think you should skope on some hair. Either Beyonder's male hair bangs, Ink's Kyle Rayner or Zeigel should do the trick.

I like your nice clean line work.

You can find those *fixed* Beyonder "Hair" meshes here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/laughingparadox

Post by: Bloodshadow on June 06, 2013, 02:37:53 AM
ok,here is a couple that I've been working on,the first is another old Champions character of mine called the "USAvenger"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/USAvenger_zps7086bc3b.png)
I'm not completely happy with the eyes,might change that but I'm happy with the rest of him.
Next up is one of my favorite originals and now updated to a look I really like,I give you "Chill"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/Chill1_zpsf554fa14.png)
I have a frozen version as well and I'm using Laughing Paradox New Mutants Magma skope (very cool skope :cool:)
Last is another addition to my Legion Of Supervillains(yes I'm still working on them :P )and so....Esper Lass
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/EsperLass_zps44147f67.png)

hey guys,I'm back up and running again two computers later.The first was my fault and the second was the computer but now I'm on a new system,a lot more organized and backing up way more often so I don't lose stuff again.
I've got a lot to preview over the next few days so I'm just going to go a little at a time but most of it is DC characters and the rest is a few new originals.
First up,just to get him out of the way because he's the only hero among all these skins and because I'm very happy with how he turned out.He is on Afghan Ant's Beast Boy skope in the outfit from Judd Winick's "Old Friends" storyline in Titans,and so Beast Boy
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/BeastBoy_zps39217d90.png)
Next up is the beginning of another big project I'm working on(I love Red Lanterns)done on Sick Alice's skopes using his extras just touched up by me(with permission)
and so Pt.1 of the Red Lantern Corps
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/RedLanternsPt1_zps1c66aa1c.png)
I will be back later with a preview of where I'm at with the Legion Of Supervillains which I'm anxious to do because Sun Emperor turned out awesome! :D
See ya soon guys! :cool:
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: AfghanAnt on January 31, 2014, 06:33:57 PM
These are great. The only thing I would change is where the red and white meet - add a highlight or slight shadow to make the line work pop. I can't wait to see the rest Blood.

As for the Legion Of Supervillains previews I promised....

So there is where I'm at on the LSV which is almost half of the team,still a bunch to do :P
Next will probably be Silver Swan who I am currently working on and then on to some originals :D
After Silver I'll finish up the LSV first then I've got about 10 more Red Lanterns to do ;)

already started-

Hunter
Ol Vir

left to do-

Radiation Roy
Chameleon Chief
Lightning Lord
Saturn Queen
Titania
Terrus
Tyr
Micro Lad
Cosmic King

I probably won't do Tarik the mute or Zymyr because I really have no interest in Tarik and Zymyr would need a mesh made.

(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/Bloodshadow2-14_zps05628941.png)
I really like how he turned out,still got some work to do to his belt but other than that he's about done.The main change is his symbol which I changed because I just didn't like how the last one looked on him.

Your avatar looks so good. I love it. It's so sharp and clean.

I love the seam work around the chest logo.

Sinestro looks really good except for those wrist bands. Try to use gradients on them, so it has both dark and light tones of the color represented. You can do the same for his belt and arm band, too.

You really nailed his face.. it's perfect.

No idea how I missed your avatar (normal and lantern varieties), but he looks flippin' awesome, Blood!

The Sinestros look great, too!

Thanks for the input guys but I have to give credit where credit is due,I'll take credit for the design but the skin only looks so awesome because of Murs fantastic base,most of the credit goes to him and Courtnall on my skins.Without these bases I wouldn't be making anything good.

I planned on doing more detail work on the extras for him and the Sinestro Corps version as well but definitely plan on adding more depth to the bands on both.About the face,Thanks!that is definitely the most alteration to a base I've done and I was amazed it turned out so good :D
I will probably release the base along with the others in the pack when I'm done so that anyone who wants can use it to make their own Sinestros ;)
I'm working on Indigo Sinestro and Rankorr at the moment,be back soon with previews :)

The face work on Sinestro is spot on awesome. I love seeing custom facial work on Skins, it adds a lot of depth to the characters. Also, I would love to see that released as a base, hopefully it will encourage other people to make an attempt at Skinning.

Still working on my Sinestros,I even started a Red Lantern Sinestro of my own design,after that I'll be doing a Guy Gardner pack and Red Daughter of Krypton plus somewhere in there I'll be doing my Red and Black Lantern versions of my avatar as well.I also want to skin all the New Guardians(Saint Walker,Star Sapphire,Iroque,Arkillo and White Lantern Kyle)yep,I'm gonna be busy skinning lanterns for a while ;)

Post by: Bloodshadow on March 21, 2014, 09:08:50 PM
Thanks guys,I haven't posted anything lately because of some really frustrating problems with a few of my Sinestros and Larfleeze.(not burnt out,just frustrated :banghead:)
So I took a little break from doing Lanterns and made a bunch of originals,some I will preview in a day or two but there are a bunch that I want to wait until all three teams are done before I preview them.I've made 17 skins in the past week and have about twelve more to go on an idea that just sorta happened a week or so ago ;)
It started as a small skin project for fun and has sort of grown from there into a lot of fun.It started with the idea that I wanted to match my team of originals up against the Xmen in the danger room,when I did it just didn't feel right having my originals taking on established mainstream characters so I decided to create my own original versions of the original Xmen, I finished that team and it sparked some ideas for the team from Giant Size Xmen and so began the second team which I'm about done with but now I've got a bunch more ideas for a third and possibly fourth team as well :wacko:
I'll be back soon with previews :cool:
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: vorelliwiseau on March 22, 2014, 02:23:36 AM
Good luck on the original versions project, Bloodshadow! I'd like to do my original versions of some comic book characters, too, someday.

Also, 2-4 teams? This project of yours seems really big! Please keep us updated.

Post by: Bloodshadow on March 22, 2014, 06:22:32 AM
I will start with a general history of where I'm going on this little project,The concept I'm working from is that an alien "superman" named Mister Amazing by the media arrived on Earth in the early 1930s and defended America and Earth as the world's first superhero.shortly after World War 2 ended Mr. Amazing disappeared,unknown to the public he had been betrayed by his government and locked away for experimentation to determine the source of his superhuman abilities and try to replicate them.And so began the secret government program called "Project Genesis" which produced its first team of superhumans in the 1990s called "The Night Guard"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NightGuard1_zps5cc9af59.png)
Left to right- Brute,Taylor Kane (T.K.),Gabriel,Red Eye and Coldsnap
In the summer of the year 2000,Mr. Amazing,insane from decades of captivity and torture,escaped from the facility where he was held and went on a murderous rampage until The Night Guard intervened.In the resulting battle Mr. Amazing,now calling himself "Sovereign",killed Coldsnap and Brute,crippled Red Eye and Gabriel and left T.K. in a coma from psychic feedback  when he shattered her telekinetic shield.Sovereign,weakened by the battle,was recaptured shortly after when The Cosmic Powered hero "Morningstar" arrived and defeated him.
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/JCMorningstar_zps5ec5b262.png)
Project Genesis began picking up the pieces,Red Eye and Gabriel were saved by the project's cybernetic division and T.K. was moved to a secure medical facility where she is supervised constantly by the project's psychic division.Two new teams of Gen Actives are authorized to fill the void left by the Night Guard's absence and a third trainee unit also.The Night Guard's "Alpha Team" forms around the newly cybernetically enhanced Gen Active and survivor of the 1st team called "Red Eye"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGARedEye_zpsda2f07a2.png)

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on March 22, 2014, 03:16:24 PM
You, sir, have a great flair for costume design. Not only are the costumes all very well implemented, but the story concept is very interesting. You have me eagerly awaiting the next preview, and more so, you have drooling for a release.

I think the stand out here is the Cybernetic "Red Eye", if you don't mind me asking, what Mesh is that on?
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread

QuoteI think the stand out here is the Cybernetic "Red Eye", if you don't mind me asking, what Mesh is that on?
It is Tommy's Tharok_T, I have always liked that mesh for a good cyborg character,just never had a good idea for one until now
Next up is a skope of Grenadier's Fang mesh,My version of Wolverine,"Wildman
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGAWildman_zps1d098a9e.png)
This one is my take on Nightcrawler using Podmark's Nightcrawler skope,"Brimstone"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGAElBrimstone_zps996fd927.png)
Next is one that was born of a deep desire to use Afghan Ant's amazing skope.My version of Banshee and another cybernetically enhanced member (going with the idea that his sonic powers are uncontrollable and his 1st use made him deaf,Cybernetic voicebox and ears were created to help him control his sonic powers) And so I give you "Outcry"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGAOutcry_zps0fb8ed20.png)
I'll be back soon with more,doing some touchups on the next three and then I'll preview them.Next up is Iron Curtain (Colossus) Fallout (Sunfire) and Weather Witch (Storm),then I'll begin previewing the Omega team plus I've got some designs going for both looks of Mr. Amazing/Sovereign.

Thanks for the comments guys :cool:
First up today is another drastic alteration of the original character (Storm), I'm not totally happy with the result so she might get redesigned and remade before I release the set and so.....Weather Witch on Grenadier's Arcanna mesh
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGAWeatherWitch_zpsd0f38523.png)
Next is my version of Colossus on Grenadier's IG_Neutron mesh that I call "Iron Curtain".I already have some design ideas for some alternate skins for this guy so you'll be seeing more of him soon.
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/NGAIronCurtain_zps93e8ef75.png)
I've been busy with a living room remodel (that was supposed to be just a new paint job,the wife got me again :doh: ) so the next couple days is gonna be busy for me but I'll be back with some new Red Lanterns mid week or so :cool:
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Cyber Burn on March 31, 2014, 01:22:28 PM
I'm not a "Storm" fan, but this updated re-design looks great, much better than the Character that she is based on.

"Iron Curtain" looks great, I'm a major Colossus fan, so I'm always eager to see something new done with him. Great job on the hair and beard. I can't wait to see the alternate costumes for him.
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread

Today I have a new original for you guys,I've been wanting an archer for a new group I'm working on,The colors are a nod to Hawkeye and Green Arrow but also because I'm trying to play around with color combinations that I haven't used much or at all before to make a more colorful group.And so here is the archer I named "Arrowhead"
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r793/MJSchaefer513/JCArrowhead_zps5e59ae23.png)

Your Line Work just never ceases to impress, and I've always been a fan of your original Characters. Is that Gren's "SSup_Black_Archer_Gren" Mesh? Did you skin the Sky Cycle as well?

Also, if you don't mind a suggestion, I think the belt and leg strap would greatly benefit from being Skoped on. I think it would add a little more definition and depth to the Skin in general, but like I said, it's just a suggestion.

And lastly, I really have to agree with ShortFuse, the color combination works very well.

I will not hesitate to admit that I am really looking forward to the release of all these Characters that you have been previewing.  :D

I would love to add the belt and strap but don't have skoping ability and I hate asking you guys to take time away from your creations to help with my originals ( I really need to get back to reading tutorials and practicing so I can swap parts myself )
Thanks for the input guys,I'll be back in a couple hours with a couple more previews and should have all the stuff previewed lately up on my yahoo group by mid week.

Throw him onto a Mesh with some Particle Emitters, and Hell Hound would be perfect.

Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: bearded on May 29, 2016, 06:46:16 PM
There you are! Which ones? I'd like all of them! I know that sounds greedy. I love alternate versions of mainstreams, and you have done quite a few of them. I'm imagining I could use hero files from the mainstreams. With interesting adjustments, of course. I saw a storm analogue, and a green hawkeye.
What about Hell Hound? What power sets do you think he could have?
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread

Personally, I would love to see your "Night Guard" released.  :thumbup:
Title: Re: Bloodshadow's skin thread
Post by: Bloodshadow on May 29, 2016, 07:19:07 PM
Thanks for the interest guys, I will zip up all the ones you mentioned and upload them to my group ASAP.

The Night Guard group has been changed to "The Power Corps" so they will be in their own folder because really the whole idea blew up into something way bigger than I originally envisioned.I now have four teams that make up the PC Alpha,Omega,Gamma & Delta, each one is patterned after an X team lineup so yeah you can definitely use pre existing Xmen hero files although one of the teams is based on the Brotherhood.

Hell Hound when created was envisioned to be a mix of Sabretooth & Red Hulk, a bloodthirsty killer that puts off more and more heat the angrier he gets. I hadn't put much more thought than that into him, kinda hit a roadblock on ideas for him :(

I've created a whole bunch of new characters and storylines for them over the last couple years with most of the design work in my sketchbook, but I've recently returned to skinning to bring them all to life now in FF, some are definitely just alternate versions of preexisting Marvel and DC characters but some are my own original creations and designs. Some of the groups....

My Originals-Strange Family, Reapers, Void Raiders, Pest Patrol

Alternate Marvel/DC-North Guard(Alpha Flight)
                              Outcasts(Outsiders)
                              PC Alpha(Xmen GiantSize lineup)
                              PC Omega(Brotherhood)
                              PC Gamma(New Mutants/X Force)
                              PC Delta(Exiles)
