Character WIP:

Ironbear · Forum Member Joined: Nov 06, 2001 Posts: 1054

My first superheroic character post.

Meet Scorpia - a WIP chracter for "Avatar", my perrenially "in the works, never finished" graphic novel project. ;]
As lovely as a flame, as cold blooded as a snake - a corporate hired-gun: freelance assassin.

The body suit is a symbiotic implant: it can assume the texture and appearence of the background terrain, and/or assume the texture and appearence of normal skin with merely a subconcious thought. The lady has numerous built-in weapons, plus she's a living biochemical factory.

Various elements: the body suit started out as a cybersuit texture by nikitcreed before I warped it in photoshop. The cyberhand is by Styxx, the hair by Alla and the clothing items are from Xurge and RDNA.

I'll post a more fully worked out image in WIP gallery later...

Lovely render, and a really good looking character. I love the subtle reflective quality of her costume. One thing, though; her insignia is somewhat obscured by her other, um, assets...

Thanks.

Yeah, Joseph, noticed that. That's kind of why she's still "WIP" stage. I'm trying to figure out how to place that insignia so it doesn't get swallowed up in the er.. valleys. ;]

Got any ideas? I kept it on a seperate PSD layer so I can move it around and size it.

It would look nice..

It was the "Pardon me miss, but there's something crawling up your leg... " that cracked me up. ;]

*snicker*

Heh... I'd actually planned to duplicate the emblem on a set of thigh boots, but the non standard leg dimensions stumped me: on Vicki and most P4 characters, when you scale the shins in the y-axis, scaling conforming boots to match causes them to break up in the ankles and distort. *sigh* Back to the drawing board....

Well, that the way it goes sometimes in the land of the poser addicts.

I am sure you will find a work around, and get it going....it just have to be found.

That's cool... hrmm... higher up is what I'm playing with. And a hair smaller - it seems to work a bit better.

*Raises eyebrow* and what, you don't show us? shame on you.

Actually, honestly that cool.. like I said, it is a trial and error thing..sometimes you have to play a hundred tiems to get it to look just right.
