Title: Ninja Vathros skins -CP: Gordon Freeman- Clone Joe is out!
Post by: Vathros on November 12, 2010, 07:13:31 AM
A long time ago, in a galaxy... well, this one, there was a sprite comic called Bob and George -the first of its kind-, wich compelled me to try and make my own sprite comic... as soon as i saw how many sprite comics were out there already, the idea kinda died, but not before i got a taste of making sprites sooo now that i found MM8BD im gonna try and revive whatever old sprites i find in my archive and make them into skins :D

Just because you didn't edit Megaman I'm already looking forward to this.
Nice job, Vathros.

Well it's not like he's the exact same :/

In fact, I think Heavy's only similarity is the legs... I really kinda went overboard. Soldier looks more like megaman.

Yeah, but whatever. You're already workin' on 'em.

Welll...technically it's a Community line...but yes he does say it in a custom campaign...or was it when he picks up a crowbar in the l4d2 version of the sacrifice?

I was planning to do Ubersaw for my Medic, but... shooting boolet out a melee weapon? That's why I changed it.

"shooting bullets out of a melee weapon?"

thats exactly why im considering the crowbar, it would look awesome XD

allright i know this is taking more than it should but heres what i got so far

(http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/8323/gordonwiptemplate2.png)

any thoughts?

oh and i never thought the crowbar and the grav gun would be so close in the poll =D

crowbar is winning for now though >=D
Title: Re: My skinning attempt :P -current project: Gordon Freeman-
Post by: TERRORsphere on November 18, 2010, 08:49:50 PM
not bad.
Title: Re: My skinning attempt :P -current project: Gordon Freeman-
Post by: Vathros on November 21, 2010, 09:18:05 AM
hmmm im not really convinced with the color layout

(http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8857/grabbinpills.png)

wich do you think is best? the orange classic that gordon is wearing? or the one youve seen already that louis is wearing?

oh and thats a crowbar gordon is holding btw, still not sure if thatll be the weapon but ill settle that when i have to make his shooting stances
Title: Re: My skinning attempt :P -current project: Gordon Freeman-
Post by: Vathros on November 23, 2010, 02:45:01 PM
allright it was a close race but the crowbar wins!

so first ill make his crowbar stances BUT i may do a gravity gun version too (just, you know, not now :P)

and about the suits ill stay with the one louis is wearing because i realize the orange may conflict/look weird with most of the weapons (like star crash)

you may also look forward to a barney skin once im done with this one =D

The front and Back heads are missing the ears.

Other than that I can't wait for these to be finished!
Title: Re: My skinning attempt :P -current project: Gordon Freeman-
Post by: Vathros on November 26, 2010, 04:32:15 AM
i didnt thought of adding them at first cause i thought they would look weird

you mean something like this?

(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5732/gordonears.png)

i put the sideways sprite as reference

also, i was looking through my old sprites again and found this one

(http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/2756/clonejoe.png)

what do you think? should i make him into a skin? (nothing fancy, just a sniper joe edit)

most of the credit goes to the maker of the original sniper joe skin though (couldnt find it in the wiki ;-;) i just changed the head and some minor details. Thats not the reason its called Clonejoe though, thats because the helmet is based on the clone troopers from SW =P

still, it was a great skin making practice so from now on i shouldnt have much trouble making the rest =D
-ofc if the creator does not approve itll be taken down ASAP-

BEFORE YOU GO! im having trouble with Gordon's colors, ive tested it ingame and the weapons look messed up, not to mention his skin color, eyes and hair looked really dark for the game, so here's an updated version and i think ill stick with this one:
(http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3927/gordonoriginal.png)
(those are the suits original colors btw) im thinking of puting the blue and cyan only on the chest armor, i think it would look better like that.

-long post is long XD-

In general, looking at post dates before you post is important. Try not to necrobump threads that have been out of commission for a month or two, let alone three years.

I'll just lock this, as it doesn't seem like the skinner himself is returning anytime soon.
