Thanks Hide. I hope it turns out well alright. I like the Skaarj pack but feel it could have been a lot better. The first in this is much better than any in that. Had two I left out of the other pack so might work on them more and put them in this too :D

Nevertheless I am humbled by the master :notworthy:

Thanks Kronos :D It's a given there will be a MechaSkaarj in this. Was asked to do it long ago but never got around to it. Forgot it in the Skaarj pack (along with Skaarj3 I think). I'd expect to also do a Merc Female (Satin/Sapphire), an Egyptian male (Roc/Hyena), Alien male, a few more Skaarj, a robot/two that I haven't done yet and the other merc with the mask in ECE (can't remember what he's called). :tup:

Cool. :D

Oh, and the "other merc with the mask in ECE" is the Barktooth/Karag model (a.k.a. "Metal Guard"). :)

It's my brain, Starry... Sometimes it just doesn't work ;) I rarely if ever use the default bots so that explains how I'm not all that familiar with them. It's amazing how little I know after all this time. Must have a proper look through them later to see exactly what I'll do.

Tomorrow I expect to get started on the Xan Kriegor (lol) one :tup:

[EDIT] [Update] Having had two off days where I couldn't skin to save my life, I juggled with the idea of doing the MechaSkaarj, then proceeded to start and dump 2-4 other Skaarj and eventually gave up as inspiration wasn't forthcoming... Don't you just hate it when that happens?

So, I decided to play around with Kaang and create another one. This one's named Jok, whether he appears in the final pack is debateable as I'm sure I'll dump as many as I make (as usual). Just started by giving him new scaley skin and playing around with Kaang a bit to get a different look. All that's in my mind while making this is 'from the debts of hell comes...' Will probably go all out with this as with Ashur ;)

Very early pic in uPaint (as I've just started) while deciding what to do next;

I like the black muscles and mixed with that brownish/orange color and with those metal parts. Well it does it for me. Jok is looking good ;)

Oh yeah I do know. I'm not coming any further on any skinning right now. I hate such peroids since I'm having alot of them.
Oh well we can't all have everything.

Thanks twitchey :D

rex I've been having those periods a lot for the last few months which is why I think it's time for me to throw in the towel and do something new. I want to make new worlds for my characters to play in now ;)

Another update;

I tried numerous things with Jok but still have a block so rather than beating my head against a brick wall, I started on an Alien. Provisionally called Indra - I'll give him a new name when I think of one fitting a necris Gen Mo'Kai. Only the face is done, I'll do the body later on :tup:

Hey Klasnic? Is it me or does Ashur look alot like Marduk?

Not that it really matters. He just looks really familiar to me.

They are close, Marduk has a tatoo on his right cheek. It was the hair and the stripe across that eye that got me.

That one really impresses me klasnic. But why are those round things there? I would rather have them removed since they look ackward when he's having an open mouth and they just stick on his jaw.
The metal work on that one is awesome. and eyes are cool but lacks some definement on the pupils. Maybe a darker rim around them? Hmm well it's up to you anyway it looks good ;)

@ Kronos apologies for missing your post above, even the big txt didn't attract my attention :eek: No worries, I will do a MechaSkaarj or two as soon as inspiration hits me. Have everything ready to go for him/them so as soon as I'm inspired I'll start. Moshanyana is the name of the first ;)

@ Turret that's gotta' hurt :lol:

@ Majik cool to see you got here. Did you register just for me? :D

For the curious, Klasnic took his "Marduk" skin, made him look much more like a Necris (like he was originally supposed to be), gave him four Team Colors, and renamed him "Ashur" (so that he won't conflict with the "Marduk" skin for Gorge/Frostbite in Flytag's "Necris SkinPack 2" anymore.

Absolutely right. The first version of Ashur is here

Nothing at all wrong with the skin though the skin tone (again) wasn't quite right and I forgot Race="Klasnic-Corp" in the .upl so when I started this pack it gave me reason to make a v2 of him. Now I've nailed him alright and imho he's among my best now.

@ Rex you may be right. I'll start the body soon so before doing so, I'll remove the roundy things and see how he looks. You could be right too about the eyes - that was really the first thing I done on his face. Necris aren't supposed to have pupils. I left a very faint one on Ashur and did this the same way. I'll try it less white and see if that looks better too :tup:

@ SaD dittoed... Welcome to the boards MajikMyst, oh great one :D

Awesome as always my friend.
In your final skinpack are you gonna do the 2 cybernetic skarjj Skirlax and Mekkor?
I got your pheonix 2 and I can tell I'm gonna love it :)!
These robots rock and keep up the great work!!!
When ut2007 comes out are you gonna skin for that game?

No probs, Kronos :)

Hey graboid glad to see you made it here too. I've already got you on the mailing list for this ;) Was wondering what had happened to you.

I'm gonna' do two MechaSkaarj(s). Skrilax(?) and Mekkor are two skins of the same model so I guess I am doing both. At least I'm gonna' skin the same model twice. One will be animated (as I'd always planned to do), the other will have a different look :)

I won't skin for UT2007. I'd decided that a long time ago. Unless I have a major change of heart. I'll do two models for that game but I really wanna' see the game first before deciding what I'll do. I'll probably just practice mapping after this pack and do that for that game. I need a challenge and while I could certainly take skinning to even higher levels with the new engine (and this) I'd rather do something new altogether :D

[Update] Done as rex suggested and here's the second version of the Alien's face;

Thanks °»ßLîÑD«°

Yes there certainly will. I mentioned him previously but dunno' when I'll get started on him as he's one of the more complicated ones I'll do. I haven't really seen a decent Xan (teapot) skin (except Exile II) which is really why I'm doing him. Called Xu. I'm gonna' put a lot of work into him and already know how I'm gonna' do him but because he'll be so complicated I really don't wanna' do him yet. Incidentally, he'll also have a new abdomen so I've already repackaged the animation file to accomodate this.

I reckon the way I'll do this pack is a new one here and there and updated ones in between. That way I won't get bored and will feel like I'm getting somewhere ;)

Watch this space...
