Title: (released): Avengers EMH Tony Stark (sans armor)
Post by: ShawDAMAN on October 24, 2011, 04:24:45 AM
I thought Tony without his armor on in the recent animated series looked kind of cool so I'm taking a stab at it:

EDIT: just a few tiny alterations

this is my first attempt at doing a skin (virtually) from scratch. So be merciful and dont expect any immediate releases  :P

but thoughts appreciated.

First thoughts: From scratch...pretty damn good, especially the face. I would suggest lightening up his base outfit, but otherwise, I like what I'm seeing here. Keep it up.

Wow thanks a lot. That is a good suggestion, I intend to lighten up the base. Also, don't be misled, when I say 'from scratch' I did use a base skin/mesh, I don't want you to think I'm some kind of prodigy  :lol: but the face is almost entirely mine, and obviously the outfit, but that is still pretty crude and incomplete. Thanks :)

The face is great. Even if it is only mostly you. Ha ha, but seriously...

The only thing I can see is, and I don't know if it is intentional or not, but you have those blue glowing lines ending right at mesh seems. Even if that is where they are suppose to end, it's best to skin your own end either just above or below that seem. It's just a little extra touch to make the skin look more natural.

This is an excellent skin for your first. Don't sell yourself too short there. ;)

However, I demand immediate release.

Thanks a lot, you do fine work yourself incidentally. :) Excellent suggestion about the blue glowing lines.... they end abruptly mostly because they are supposed to be extended on his arms and down his legs to his feet etc; and I haven't done all of them yet. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

lol. Thanks a lot man, and may I say your skins are excellent, I use a few myself.

I gotta say that this would look really if he had one of Iron Man's gloves on.

That was actually my original intent, and that way it would make sense to give him a (limited) beam attack etc. But I can't really do any meshing like that I dont think... :/ and it would look dumb if I just skinned it that way on his regular hand.

Sure, but I really wouldn't know how to do even that lol. I really am a noob at all this, in case it wasn't already readily apparent  :D

Just about done with it for now, methinks. If I keep messing with it I'll wind up making it worse  :P

Shawdaman, I'll agree with what the others have said, that is a really impressive first skin!  The face looks just like the animated version, and you've definitely capture the suit.  Great work man!

Very very nice work! I also thought his under-suit might be cool in FF! I keep hoping someone does his style armor from this show.

Thanks! Yeah I'd like to see his armor done too but tommyboy's mk20 and 21 are fairly close, especially with a few slight modifications...  :rolleyes:  :P Afghanants ironman is fairly similar too.

This particular skin should be ready for release soon, if you're interested, but before I release it I want to complete the option of having one of the ironman gloves on (like in the show.) Cyber Burn has done the skoping work and I'm working on reskinning it now- should be nice :) stay tuned

Still working on it (having a hard time getting the glove/armpiece just right) but it's slowly coming along:

Hey! The glove is really cool!

Ahhh... it wasn't done. Makes sense! There are those two lines that end abruptly at the neck there. But I am a sucker for small details. I figure if you are good enough to do it (which you clearly are) might as well do it all the way.

Of course, I miss little things all the time.

Anyhow, looking forward to more releases!

You're quite right to point that out, and in a way it would make more sense to have them connecting up with something, but I based it as closely as I could on the show, which usually has them going nowhere:

(http://i44.tinypic.com/345otwo.jpg)

(http://i39.tinypic.com/2ngvrb7.jpg)

Occasionally they do have a very thin blue line circling the neck for them to connect to, but actually it's surprising, when you start looking for it, just how inconsistent the artists are when it comes to small details about the characters. You'd never notice from just casually watching a show, but when you start freezing frames to use as reference material it's very noticeable. So I just wanted to capture the basic look reasonably well. Thanks a lot for your professional interest   :D I'm sure I'll get better if I keep doing this.

Oh wow, you're totally right. I haven't actually seen the show... I didn't know! That is pretty weird!

Anyhow, yeah, keep it up!
