    Cool. Your welcome.

    Add in an eye visor and you have Cyclops! :-)

    PS. Nice thing about allot of my offerings I make enough material zones to turn off things like belt loops and even the folded tops of the boots if you don't want those visible. I had allot of fun making that set. Thanks goes out to Joe who set me on my way with his help showing me a few bits in ZBrush.

    Yeah, well, so I amped up the colors a bit. :lol: The plan BTW, is to create several (if not all) of the original team. :)

    So whaddya think? Iconic enough, "true believers"? :lol:

    Looks really good John! Adding the X on the belt buckle and the eye visor did the trick.

    Great job, tjohn! Really loving that classic Kirby style! Can't wait to see the rest of the team.

    Here's my only attempt at designing complete clothes prior to my Wonder Woman pic (BTW, deepest thanks to Isi for being the one person to give me feedback on that one here!). It's the Question ...his overcoat, pants and mask built in Hexagon.

    I'm not familiar with the Question, but I like what I see! Great skills with Hexagon, LS. I can model a little in Wings3D which I find fairly intuitive but so far Hexagon makes me pull my hair out, LOL.
    Nice comic book thug, too. :)

    Thanks tjohn! While I have lots of love for Kirby, got plenty for that other original Marvel artist too. :) The Question was originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton who eventually sold their characters to DC. Alan Moore's "The Watchmen" was originally supposed to be about those Charlton characters but DC made him revise the characters slightly once they found out he intended to kill the Question in the story. Three of the Watchmen were based on Ditko characters (The Question/Rorschach, Blue Beetle/Nite Owl and Captain Atom/Dr. Manhattan).

    Yeah, Hex can be a bit maddening at times. I still find it a little buggy. I've dabbled a bit with modeling for years but it's like the light finally came on after I watched a couple of good Hex tutorials on Youtube recently. Still, I really should check out WIngs3D and some of the other modelers out there.

    Still working my way backwards.... prior to the Question, here's my first attempt at making dynamic cloth (just the sleeves). Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson's Manhunter (facing off against his clones here), basically a backup story that only ran 7 issues and yet it pulled in 6 major awards at the time. In addition to sleeves, throwing stars, belt, boot harness and bracers also built in hexagon.

    Wow, can I clear out a forum or what?! Is it my obscure choices or my lousy underwear joke? :)
    Still strolling backwards thru my gallery while I'm working on my tachikoma. Jack of Hearts, just because I figured his odd overly ornate costume would be an interesting challenge. Collar, lower tunic, belt, bracers and boot morph made in Hexagon. This is the one that made me realize how lacking my Hex skills were so I've trying to learn to do more with it lately.

    X-Men 1963

    Code Name: Beast
    Real Name: Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy
    Mutant Powers: Ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility.

    Beast is a brilliant man of the arts and sciences; he is a world authority on biochemistry and genetics, the X-Men's medical doctor, and the science and mathematics instructor at the Xavier Institute.

    In the beginning, Hank wasn't hairy (not more than the average human anyway), and he wasn't blue.

    Three down, three to go. :)

    Thank you so much, Tony and RAMWolff! :-)

    Way cool, tjohn! Yeah, don't know how I lost count of my X's saying you were halfway there on the last one! :lol: Good job on this one too! Now you got me curious as to whether you're going to do snowcone Bobby or crystal ice Bobby. :cheese:

    Still driving my way backwards through my gallery while I'm rigging my tachikoma. Really plumbing the depths of obscurity here. An odd little crossover featuring Flaming Carrot and Axel Pressbutton and Laser Eraser. The joke here is that Pressbutton has a psychotic hatred/fear of plants and vegetables since 3/4 of his body was eaten by alien plants. A bit of a precursor to what I'm working on now (rigging) as I did a fake rigging on this one by parenting the robotic parts to Axel's hidden (invisible) body parts. Axel's robot parts, cigar and Carrot's carrothead made by me in Hexagon.

    I hate to nit-pick, but other Watchmen characters were also based on old Charlton characters: Peacemaker/Comedian; Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt/Ozymandias; Nightshade/Silk Spectre. The latter also was partially inspired by Black Canary and Phantom Lady, and Rorschach was also based on Ditko's Mister A, as well as the Question.

    By the way, I loved your render of the Question. The thug was really well done, too.

    Here's my latest. Old Blue Eyes himself....

    Yeah... I been messin' around with ZBrush a lot lately. This IS a Genesis character with bump and displacement maps from a cobblestone texture. I cannot remember the name of the product but it was a purchased product, shape is all me. And the background is Hero's Stand - Impact! from the lovely and talented AntFarm.

    Okay...sorry... I think I made it better. I went with my own displacement map and I think I like it better.

    Will post soon...


    Damn... did I kill a thread again?

    After looking thru this thread again, I started playing around with DS lighting...... again (I usually use Luxrender) and did a couple of toon style images

    pure DS, no postwork (basically because I suck at it)

    Hello everyone, it's a long time since I follow you, and your work, have often been a source of inspiration for me. I would now like to share with you the textures of superheroes that I have created, and that you can download for free from my website here: http://hiram67.deviantart.com/gallery/39703414.
    I hope you enjoy, and I hope you will give me all the tips you'll want to improve my work. Thank you.

    Also here's an animated gif I made of Havok, too.

    [UPDATE]: Ehh. it doesn't play well in the forum, but if you click on it, it pops up and plays better.
