    Here are my original characters, Crimson Angel and her primary enemies (and siblings) Beta and Omega.

    I do like the premise of these characters. However, speaking strictly from an editorial point of view, you should consider changing Omega's contrast color from red to blue (or green). I suggest this because, in a crowded panel or a long shot, it might be possible to confuse Crimson Angel and Omega because they both have costumes that are black and red. 

     

     

    These are cool designs, as I said, but side-by-side they seem a bit similar. At least to my tired old eyes! Cool concepts -- looking forward to seeing more. 

    That is deliberate. They are identical twins, and Omega's outfit(which she would really only wear occasionally) is meant to mock Crimson Angel's. I can't say much more, because I have most of the story worked out, and don't wanna give anything away... Just in case I ever do make the comic.

    Okay -- that's a good reason. Thanks for filling us in.

    OMG THE HERCULOIDS!!! Where is the rest though? But holy crap is that frikkin GREAT! I like how they are more realistic without changing the designs at all.

    Was wondering if anyone can offer some recommendations to make a decent Deadpool character (kitbash I think is the term).  I currently have Super Hero and Super Hero Equipment by Smay which is a pretty good start.  But Need to figure out how to create the mask, buckle, etc.

    Thanks!

    There is some free stuff for M4.

    I know there was a thread somewhere listing free super hero stuff, but I keep searching and can't find it.  I was definitely leaning towards G2 and using Smay suit since I already own that, so not sure how M4 stuff could work with that.

    I have a clone that alows G1 to wear G2.  Using auto-fit I mixed and matched the G2 and M4 stuff on a G1 guy.  Here is an example:

    This was done using Smay's Super Hero Suit for G2M (https://www.daz3d.com/super-hero-suit-for-genesis-2-male-s-and-michael-6) and Super Hero Equipment for G2M (https://www.daz3d.com/super-hero-equipment-for-genesis-2-male). I had to make the belt buckle myself. It's just a disc with a texture map. The mask is one of Smay's morphs with G2M's face black and his eyes made white. Eyelasses are hidden.Pictures are attached.

    Great minds think alike.  I actually figured out how to do the same thing and made the exact same buckle for mine!  LOL

    I actually am having a blast using Smay's awesome SHS for G2M!  I wish I could learn how to modify the texture maps and other elements.  This suit would be perfect to make all sorts of comic characters.  Here are a few quick renders of some comic presets I created so far.

    I really like what you did with Deadpools mask around the eyes. Is that a custum transparency map or one of Smay's? The boots are terrific. I also did a Daredevil. Smay's stuff is awesome! I have many of them and have used them to create several superheros; Mr. Hyde (Hulk), Slinky Suit (Emma Frost), Genesis Supersuit for G2F (Rogue) and Leather Jacket (Wolverine). I'm sure there are other posibilities.

    The mask I am using is by someone called 6and6.  It is really awesome and has several presets and morphs for lots of characters.  The boots are Treadz for Genesis and the gloves are from some sci-fi suit.  Can't remember which one.  Also added wrist straps with leather shader on them.

    I want to try to make a Flash next, but can't figure out how to make the lightning bolts for he helmet and chest emblem.  Also don't know how to customize Smay's suit to make the design right.  Do you know how to modify the seams and color placements on it?

    There are head wings on SharCG http://www.sharecg.com/v/59411/gallery/11/Poser/Flash-Head-Wings-for-M4  I use a combination of Carrara which has 3D painting and Photoshop for texturing.    I rough out the design in Carrara then clean up the textures in Photoshop  it works pretty well

    Here's my latest. Two Face was an interesting challenge. He's not perfect but the flaws don't show in most angles. Turns out I'm better at producing a good looking character than I am at placing that character into an interesting scene.... but I'm working on that. Yeah, this is dark, but Gotham City's supposed to be dark. It's my first pass at a full render of this scene, although it took dozens of false starts to get it to this point. I'm trying to figure out how to reflect more light onto his face - it was too much work not to show it off more  :)   The scene was rendered in 16:9 so I couldn't get a reflecting pane close enough to make any difference. I even turned the pane into a light source itself but its output must not be high enough. I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm liking it so far...

    I actually went a different route with the ear wings, mainly because I couldn't get the 52 style ones you suggested (thanks BTW) to fit easily with this character.  The bolts on the suit took me quite a bit of time to figure out as well.  What do you think?

    Thanks John.  I found a good bolt symbol to use as a 3D obj.  Then added a primitive and grouped them together.

    Thanks!  There are two thing I am now trying to find a solution to.  First is that using the Super Boots for Genesis, the very top edge always looks weird.  I can't figure out why.  Second is with Smay's Super Hero Suit mask, where if I use the material option that has the open mouth, the opening is two narrow and doesn't show enough of the lower jaw to align with this helmet.  I decided to hide the head bone of the mask to keep the neck, but that edge isn't ideal either and leaves a blank spot at the top and on the back of the neck.  Naturally I could just fix it in post with photoshop, but I am trying to get as close to right inside DAZ itself first.

    Sadly it's not free, but the Ultra bodysuit it comes with is extremely versatile. You'd love it. Maybe now that it's two generations old, it'll go on sale. Keep an eye on it... https://www.daz3d.com/ultra-bodysuit-for-genesis-2-female-s

    Thanks.  Unfortunately I don't have much money for any new products currently.  Couldn't even renew my PC+ Membership at this point.  So just been using what I have already installed and what I can hobble together with free stuff online.  But thanks for sharing that.  I added it to my wishlist.
