great skins awesome colors specially love cyborg face  

Yeah same here. Awesome work on cyborg's face AA. The colors are rich and bright. Gives them a great cartoony look. One thing about Raven though, I thought she had this dark blue violet color sort of like the one on your old skin..

Edit: Sorry, i just checked...it's a different costume altogether..the latest one i think and it is definitely blue...even in the cartoon..didn't notice... ...

Incredible before and after pics.  Like several others have stated, your "befores" are still top notch and respectable skins (I collected all of them), and it's really a credit that you can improve upon them.  It's funny though, when viewed side by side (over & under?) the "befores" kind of remind me of Halloween costume versions of the "afters".  Great work.

The comics version's buttons and laser are usually a pinkish to reddish hue: http://www.dccomics.com/media/product/1/1/1164_400x600.jpg

Uhhhhhh...yeah!

[laughing paradox]

AA, I'm disappointed that you didn't even care about Ravager enough to even state you are not dedicated to skin her.

I really hope Kole somehow jumps up to your Dedicated list.

[ghazkul]

AA, I beg of you, Bombshell, Ravager and Ms Martian need to be done, and they need to be done by you!!!

[detourne_me]

hmmm.... a few things wrong with that sentence if you see it through my eyes

I've got a Ravager skope with some sweet skins by Podmark from Wingzero's Ravager mesh that I may be releasing soon.

[AfghanAnt]

Ok so maybe Ravager can get on the list if DM is skoping her.

Beutiful work AA. I really like that Robin!

Not liking the total void of highlight on Speedys midriff and crotch area tho...Wonder Girl's too.

Yeah...

[laughing paradox]

I never realized before just how much those Teen Titans friggin' loved the colors red and yellow.

AA, this stuff is stunning. I really look forward to your release, when it does come.

I'm curious why you decided to skin the belt instead of skoping one on.. but then again, I know how a skoped belt can be a pain in the butt with clipping.

I hope you do decide to skin the rest of your list.. I like Bombshell and Miss Martian in particular.

[Tomato]

Brilliant. Aside from what C6 mentioned, the skinwork is perfect. I'm not sure about the meshwork though... some of Speedy's extras look off. 

[Blkcasanova247]

Really great skins there AA!

[area34]

I am curious about the belt too- but as always brilliant job.

[John Jr.]

Great work as always, specially Wonder Girl.

[Podmark]

Me likey a lot. I really miss that run. I know Bart and Conner are coming back to the team but it still won't be Johns.

My issue would be Robin's hair, looks kinda flat.

[darkknight92]

I'm glad I checked this thread...really nice stuff!

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks everyone.

Clipping usually but honestly in Robin's case I didn't feel like skoping anymore (that is just the Red Robin skope by DM with hair on it).

My issue would be Robin's hair, looks kinda flat.

Maybe it's a monitor lighting issue - looks fine to me in character tool and it's the same hair I used for SBP (I'm lazy).

Brilliant. Aside from what C6 mentioned, the skinwork is perfect. I'm not sure about the meshwork though... some of Speedy's extras look off. 

If you would like to help by all means.

[Tomato]

I don't know AA... whoever meshed that hood for you did such a horrible job, I don't know if I can fix it. Really AA, what possessed you to go with such a hack?

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Hi AA,

Great skins!  I really love the bold colors you have on your skins.  How do you produce such rich looking color?

Respectfully,

[AfghanAnt]

Apollo Redesign using Murs' skope. Superman Returns is Ink's Superman_Hammer_shield

Replaced the old Superman pic with this one that colors were saved all weird. Oh yeah and these are using Tomato's new finger meshes.

[murs47]

I'm lovin these!

[deano_ue]

the colours look stunning, i can never work out how you can do things such as the yellows so easily

[John Jr.]

Superman is just perfect. The face is so expressive.
Congrats!

[style]

AA he's on the Jazz again!

[Podmark]

Very nice AA.
What did you use for boot straps? I've seen a few designs that would need those.

[Blkcasanova247]

Really impressive work there AA! Truly stellar.
