What do you think of my first UT2004 Skin Dante?

[Thanatos]

I've sharpened up his facial features including his ears it now looks like this:

 

[Thanatos]

I've started work on Dantes body (And yes I will think of another name when I release him...)


What do you guys think? Considering I've never used U-Paint until today.

 

[Maxx]

Hm, Dante`s armor of that pic above reminds me of Necris armor in UT(99). Maybe you take this tex for the main armor to come as close as possible

 

[UTGirl]

the face surely needs some revisions but you`re on the right way

Hows this?:

I`m always a little bit sceptic about skins totally made in upaint, let`s see how it goes.

But most skinners say they use a graphic prog.

I didn't map the face using U-Paint I used both MSPaint and Adobe Photoshop CS2

 

[UTGirl]

Photoshop is cool

 

[Maxx]

Maybe you should "mask out" some things? There`s a good tutorial here

 

[Thanatos]

Thanks I may mask out some of the things on brocks belt heres an updated image:

I've made the clothes much darker and have cut the sleves off his top and readjusted the shoulder pads so they dont appear to strech ingame.
I can't wait to play invasion with this skin...

 

[Thanatos]

I went a bit crazy when masking and I ended up getting rid of one of the items on his belt and his knee pads so now he looks like this:


I think he looks better like this the original Dante(Unreal1) didn't have any pads protecting him, well apart from the armor on his chest...

So what do you think?

 

[Klasnic_E]

cool man, nice job

 

[Maxx]

This one looks nice as far I can see here :tup: only the face is still a little bit to blured

keep it uo

 

[Thanatos]

I did a major rework on his face and have made alot of it much clearer, I've also added some much needed updating to his beard:
First from the side:


And now from infront (Look at his realistic beard!)

 

[Nines]

Good, now overwork the face and hair to make it sharper.
And add something to the legs.

Not bad for a first skin, I have to say.

 

[Kantham]

And now from infront (Look at his realistic beard!)

All i can see from now on is his eyes poping out of his face.

 

[Thanatos]

K maybe that was a bad screenshot choice... your not really meant to be that close ingame.

The whole big eyes thing is to keep it in the style of unreal 1
(see pic below

I think the eyes are the best feature of this skin because everyone elses skins are made to the default 2004 standard and this character looks like he has a bit of emotion

 

[Thanatos]

I've changed his legs and added Pockets to Dante and I've also started work on a second skin he is a remake of unreal 1's Kurgan model (see images for Dante and Kurgan):
Dante:


And Kurgan (Ignore the blue its just where I havent Alpha Masked his Knee Pads):

 

[Klasnic_E]

nice man, classics, keep up the good work.

 

[Thanatos]

Check out the work I've been doing on Kurgan since I posted he was using Brocks head so he had a dent on the top left of his head(Right from his view)
Now he is using Torchs head.
Before:


After:


What do you thin of his lack of sleeves on his armor and his bare hand and bald head?
