Help Update the DCUG!

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Dean!  That'd be a big help!  I'm sending it to you via email.

Howdy folks, I'm looking for a big monster!  Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could use for a big, menacing monster something akin to this?:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aquaman-56-the-creature-that-devoured-detroit/4000-11303/

That's obviously a fairly vague shape, and this creature could go a lot of different directions.  The basic idea is that it is something either created by an experiment gone wrong or awakened from the sea.  So, lots of options possible.  The obvious solution is to use one fo Val's kaiju, but I wouldn't want to use something so recognizable, at least without a new skin.  What do y'all think?

By the way, I had privately mentioned to him making a possible bigger version of the clayface mesh (probably with bits removed), and make even mapping that onto one of the huge mesh's keyframes.
I do not know the logistics of that, it was just an idle though. People more informed can say if that will never work!

As to a skin, if you could find a plain enough mesh, a temporary skin could easily be done. Throw a few textures on something, and bam. If necessary, I can do that for you.

Alternatively, if you get a different big monster I can try changing the original monster to match more.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Unko!  After reflecting on it, I think what I'm going to do is use Chemo for the giant monster.  He's already in the mod, should prove an interesting antagonist, and opens up some story possibilities. 

I think I may end up trying the Clayface idea for the regular Fire Trolls, which are apparently not in the mod yet, somehow.  I swear they were at one point in time....

Hey guys, anyone out there willing to skope me some minions like these guys:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aquaman-31-ogre-strikes-again/4000-9058/

Alternately, can anyone suggest a helmet that would be kind of like that?

[Panther_Gunn]

The helmet looks similar to GI Joe's Bulletman, or the old Fawcett/DC Bulletman (less so), or even Bullet! 

Don't know if the antennae could be attached, or just skinned on.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks for the ideas, PG!  What do you mean by "GI Joe's Bulletman"?

I think DC's Bulletman's helmet is too slim and pointed.  Maybe DC's Guardian's?

Here's a new one, guys.  Has anyone ever made the Sgt. Rock villain "Iron Major?":

Thanks for the ideas, PG!  What do you mean by "GI Joe's Bulletman"?

https://gijoe.fandom.com/wiki/Bulletman

I'd never heard of him before I did a search on the Bulletman I knew of (DC) to make sure I was remembering the right name, and how he looked.

DC's helmet has been portrayed a couple different ways over the years; some are slim & pointed, some are closer to the Shining Knight.

Guardian has classically been shown as a rounded top as opposed to pointed (being originally a polo helmet), so that may not be the way to go (dependent of course on what skope-able pieces are available).  None of the listed DC options have the eye-holes already built-in; the Joe and Bullet ones do (but I think the latter is more rounded, and may not be adjustable in size/dimensions).

[BentonGrey]

PG, ha, I had never heard of G.I. Joe's Bulletman!  I guess that's from before my time.  yeah, that helmet is pretty close.  Has anyone made him?

My take on DC's Bulletman's helmet comes from the meshes I've found.  They tend to be very pointed.

DC's Guardian isn't a perfect fit, but that might be the best I can find.

[deanjo2000]

I have an idea, I'll look into it and let you know tomorrow 

[BentonGrey]

Awesome!

[deanjo2000]

I cant find any pics online of O.g.r.e so going off that 1 pic iv'e done this.

It's skoped over cyber's excellent ninja foot soldier skope so he's still helping us even now

[BentonGrey]

Wow, that's awesome, Dean!  He looks fantastic!  I have two small tweaks to suggest.  Can you bring the collar up tighter around the neck, more like a tunic?  And can you add an offset seam for the jacket on one side, like a motorcycle jacket zipper?

Yeah, these guys only appeared in a few issues, so there aren't very many pictures of them.    Comicvine has a few, but that's the exception.

[deanjo2000]

Like this?

[BentonGrey]

Ha!  That is PERFECT!  Thanks Dean!  O.G.R.E. is all set to make Aquaman's life miserable!

Ohh, where did you find that helmet?  It's exactly right for those guys.

[deanjo2000]

I'ts the centre piece of lp's defensor helmet.

[BentonGrey]

Nice!

[spydermann93]

Dean, it's incredible how you make even really basic minion designs look exciting, haha

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Spyder, that is exactly what I wanted to say but couldn't parse.  (AP scoring has me braindead!)

[BentonGrey]

So, here's a new one, guys.  has anyone made the sorceror Deimos from DC's Warlord?  Alternately, is there anything out there which could sub for him?

[Podmark]

That is awesome! Especially the fabric on the shirt.

[deanjo2000]

He's actually on my list I wanted him to go with my travis Morgan, I'll bump him up

[BentonGrey]

Awesome!  He and your Travis Morgan are scheduled for guest appearances in one of my campaigns! 

[BentonGrey]

Okay guys, here's another new one: 

I've got an awesome skinner offering to create a new Wonder Woman for the DCUG, but I need a skope.  There are a couple of great WW meshes out there, but I am looking for a version based on the New 52 look, which has an armored skirt instead of the usual bloomers.  I'm wondering, where can I find a piece/pieces to skope onto a mesh that could work for this?

https://starbaseatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/wwatb73441.jpg

[deanjo2000]

The skirt from jack of hearts should be ok for part of it.

Also this is what i have for deimos.


Plus some more aquaman goodness.
Murk.

[BentonGrey]

Wow!  Dean, those guys look amazing!  Man, they are just fantastic!  The detail on both faces is amazing.  The lines and character in Deimos' face, the scarring on Murk's, it's all really impressive.  I also love the detail on the fabric of Deimos' tunic.  They're great! 

On the WW skirt objects, it looks like Jack_of_hearts skirt could work as a base, but his loincloth is rectangular.  What I need is a piece that is pointed on the end.  Anyone got any suggestions?

:EDIT: Hrm.  I thought I had it with Tommy's Ozymandius, but his pointed loincloth, which would have been perfect, is part of his whole tunic!

[BentonGrey]

Dean, you're reading my mind!  Haha, I JUST discovered that one last night and was getting ready to post about it!  Yes, I think that one is perfect!

[spydermann93]

Funny how long it took us to look to one of the Justice League pastiches to find parts for an alt Justice Leaguer costume.

[BentonGrey]

Right?  In fact, Gren's work is so good, I'm thinking I may just build the skope on that mesh.
