Some of AA's work on deviant.art

[Randomdays]

Not sure if these are available elsewhere, how old they are, or even if downloads are possible, but I found some of AA's stuff on deviant.art under his "ultrahumanite" profile

Once Tomato gets the replacement for Freedom Force Forever up and running, I *think* it should all be there since AA was on Heroforce.

I may have all of that stuff somewhere. I will start looking when I get the chance.

[WyldFyre]

Yeah, I think all of that was on Heroforce. I have most of it archived if there is something specific you are looking for.

There used to be a link to AA's older work on Heroforce as well. Does anyone know what that website was? I want to plug into the Wayback machine and see what I may be missing from there.

Old site addy for HeroForce was:

http://heroforce.freedomforceforever.com/

Checked Wayback machine and it has copies on it.

The one he spinned off of HeroForce was this one:

http://freedomforceuniverse.com/

There are some things there too but I know for a fact that none of his originals from that site were saved via Wayback...they were completely scrubbed.

[Randomdays]

Well, the Archive section of FFU is complete empty, if that's what you mean by "originals",  but there are some zips in the other areas there.

When Ewwzy was here back in 2021, he did some major wayback searching and re-upped what he found in one spot to make things easier to find (a couple of gigs worth of data)

For AA zips, 5 or 6 from Gamma Patrol, and there's 115 zips total on Freedom Force Universe, with most of the pics intact.

Here's a copy of the Marvel page;

Checked a couple of downloads and they seemed to work fine

A link to everything Ewwzy found for downloading is here;

When AA first took the site down and for about a year afterwards, you could still get most of his Marvel and DC skins via the Wayback Machine.  Later on DG started looking and things were starting to disappear slowly but surely...so that is probably what happened with FFU.  I do know that you could NEVER get AA's original skins/skopes - the AA Universe stuff he had on FFU - that were there after he shut it down..he wiped those completely clean of the site and it's history when he took it down originally.

Not sure what was in his original universe, but I do have a large zip titled "Afghan Ant Characters" which looks like it has some original characters - 106 total. Here's a pasted together list - are some of these the missing files? I know at least some of them were on Hero Force.

It looks small but if you zoom in you can read it.

[WyldFyre]

Thanks guys, this helps. I have a lot of stuff archived away, just need to sort through it to see what I've got.

This was from a zip file I put together of AfghanAnt's original characters. I renamed the files to be in the different groups of his universe. For example, Q-Men was his version of the Original 5 X-Men, NA was his North American-themed Justice League analog, and WW was his Weird World characters with Unko Man (imagine the cast of the National Enquirer as superheroes).
I think I kept all the different versions of characters he made multiple times,  like AA, Lady AA and Nox Blatta.

[WyldFyre]

Any chance I could get a copy of that zip? I'm working through skins and obviously am missing some of them.

[Randomdays]

Wyldfyre, They're on dm's backup of imported meshes. There's a link to it at the bottom of his post above.

Thank you all for saving this stuff for me! I was extremely excited to reinstall FFVTR last night and start playing around with these characters again.

I really wish I still have the WW characters Unko and I did, but I lost those in a crash unfortunately.

[WyldFyre]

AA!!!!! Great to see you on the boards again!

Unko still drops by from time to time. A lot of your creations are still around on Heroforce and elsewhere.

I am attempting to save as much as I can and upload it to the FFMuseum. I'll look and see if I have any of the Ww stuff saved.

Again. Great to see you around!

[BentonGrey]

AA!  Awesome to see you again, man!  I hope you're doing well!

I think I started following you on DeviantArt 11 years ago but I only recently started using my account.

AA!!!!!! Wuts up guy!!!!!

[AfghanAnt]

Hey everyone! It's awesome to see so many familiar faces still here! I dropped by to look for my old Q-Men skins and ended up diving into some X-Men content for an X-Men '97 inspired Danger Room session. It's really cool to be back on the forum and see how active everyone still is!

[BentonGrey]

It's crazy how much gravity this place exerts; folks just keep coming back around.  It's such a wonderful community (and of course, a wonderful game), that many people never quite forget it.

Aren't those '97 skins great?  I love that we're still creating such wonderful stuff.

[AfghanAnt]

Yeah, I got inspired and decided to fired up PS, download Nifskope, and try my hand at the cast.

[BentonGrey]

Awesome!  Jean looks great!

[deanjo2000]

Very nice   also good to see you.

[WyldFyre]

Great looking Jean!

[style]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    

[AfghanAnt]

This was fun to throw together. I might actually make a few more and release them now that I have a feel for Photoshop and NifSkope again.

[BentonGrey]

That's wonderful, AA!  I love the work on the face, and the detail on the jewel around her throat is really nice.

[Randomdays]

 

[WyldFyre]

More AA goodness! You've still got it!

[John Jr.]

Great to see you again, AA.
Amazing work with the Jeans Greys.

[AfghanAnt]

Thanks!
