AfghanAnt Artistic Advances 7/8/16 - Marvel Adventures Exclusives

[Bloodshadow]

Tanarus looks great AA,but I gotta say Shepard is sweet!I love all the detail on the folds in his clothing and I agree with Cyber,white is tough to get looking right and you did it nicely

[Xenolith]

I love visiting your thread.  Every time I visit its like a magical world of superheroes that could exist.  I love how you continue to improve your designs and refine your vision.

Okay, that's a lotta love in one paragraph.

[Outcast]

Tanarus looks great! 

[AfghanAnt]

Really quick skin (I think it took 30 minutes). Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I made a very few adjustments - added a little face hair, booties and changed out the gloves.

For a quick skin, that looks pretty darn impressive.  Heck, for any skin, that's looks pretty darn impressive

[Podmark]

I like the expression

[ShortFuse]

I like it. I also like seeing you back "into the swing of things."   

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, the expression is great!  Who is this fellow?

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks guys, I think I might add a smile since he's more of a lighthearted hero.

Yeah, the expression is great!  Who is this fellow?

He's a original character by Unkoman. I think in a lot of way he was the precursor to the Weird World idea.

Man AA, that is a great Skin, and the fact that you did it in 30 minutes is just amazing. I'm glad to see you wanting to get back in the swing of things.

Looking at both pics, just a beautiful representation of the Unko's original design.

It is a beautiful skin. As always, I'm jealous.

For the hair, have you thought about using the hair from Ink's version of Oracle, maybe re-sized? I'm using  it for the quiff on Paradax.

You know that's not a bad idea daglob. I just went with the original skope Unkoman did and didn't think to improve that much on it.

[laughing paradox]

I really dig that facial expression. That looks sweet.

[windblown]

I love the face, and I'm glad that you are getting back to skin

[BentonGrey]

Haha, awesome!  I thought so, AA!  I adventured quite a bit in CO with Unko, and he usually brought that fellow along .

For sure! I remember Unko using The Corpse a lot. Good times.

Very nice work AA, love the facework.

[AfghanAnt]

Wow this is my first skin in 8 months.

I was inspired by all the new stuff and thought I would dust off PS and try my hand at this skinning stuff again. No plans for more, but I will be releasing some stuff that has been sitting on my hard drive before it goes out again.
Costume design based on Ivan Reis' art from Multiversity #1.

[spydermann93]

Looks great like always, AA!

Glad to see you back at skinning, even if it's a one-off

[daglob]

Excellent!

[ghazkul]

Very nice! Multiversity is a very odd, but great, book. Any thought bunny plans?

[Cyber Burn]

Fantastic AA, you have not lost any of your magic touch.

Question...Is that Belt buckle a shaped Mesh piece, or did you Alpha the Skin to get that look?

[SickAlice]

Lovely though I expect no less from you. Thanks again for getting me reading Earth 2 and Worlds Finest BTW, really enjoying those books.

[Podmark]

Awesome skin. Great to see you skinning again.

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks everyone. I'm really into Multiversity and the character designs so who knows - I might start skinning them all.

Question...Is that Belt buckle a shaped Mesh piece, or did you Alpha the Skin to get that look?

Alpha'ed.

[John Jr.]

Impressive work, AA. Great to see you skinning again and it's a bonus to see your take on a Multiversity character.

[BentonGrey]

That's a really lovely skin, AA!  I think the details on his costume are particularly nicely done.

[murs47]

Absolutely love that face

[windblown]

It's great to see you skinning again AA! The skin looks fantastic, especially the face.

[Cyber Burn]

Question...Is that Belt buckle a shaped Mesh piece, or did you Alpha the Skin to get that look?

Alpha'ed.

Wow, when I saw it, I was wondering if you had used the "S Shield" Mesh piece (By Bearded, I think), just re-sized. Very nice. The double bands that you used on the wrists and ankles and for the belt must have been a pain to line up correctly. I did something like the belt on one of my Skopes a while back, and it frustrated me to no end trying to line it up correctly. Once again, very inspiring.

On a side note, I hope you don't mind me asking, but on your Blog, you had previewed a Character called "Miracle", I was wondering if you had ever finished/released him?

And yes, I know I'm odd, I actually read some of the Blogs our Community posts.
