Ultimate Wonder Woman Contest Finale

Vamp's Winning Design

It is with great pleasure that I announce Vamp as the winner of the contest. A blend of a military uniform and combined with a super hero costume really fits my written concept for the character. So, congrats to him.

I’d also like to thank Naitvalis and John Jr. for participating. They both did an excellent job with their designs and concepts.

I’ve got some more contests in mind with a little variety but I’m going to hold off for the time being.

Skinning Tutorial: Logo

Prev mentioned I should demonstrate my process for creating logos for my skins, so I did… in a very brief manner. It starts in Adobe Illustrator and ends in Adobe Photoshop.

Skinning Tutorial: Boots

John Jr. said:

Murs, how you did the boots of your Red Son Superman? Most of skins (including all of mine) has the boots looking form fitting, like spandex. Your Red Son Supes has a great leather feel and no muscles showing in his boots. How you did that?

Skinning Tutorial: Hair

LP said:

However, the thing that I believe all skinners could aid from is different techniques in doing HAIR, for both male and female meshes.

This same method can be applied to female hair.

Skinning Tutorial: Color

Podmark said:

I have a question Murs, how do you colour your base? Like going from your original base to the blue tone you have for the Spidey 2099 skin you did.

Skinning Tutorial: Highlights

Freedom Reborn member John Jr. asks:

“Murs, how did you make the (perfect) highlights on your Spidey 2099 skin?”

I don’t know about perfect, but this is how I go about doing them. If anyone would like me to go into more detail, just let me know.

Just a heads up: I’ve been fighting serious allergies so I’m sorry for any coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and throat clearing.

Darkest Reign

“In Darkest Reign. In undelivered plight. No Marvel idea shall be executed right!” – one of murs47′s braincells

Everyone loves an underdog. So, when I read what Marvel wanted to do post Secret Invasion I was pretty excited about the position it would put our heroes in. A villain becoming the director of the planet’s global security force certainly puts our heroes in a corner. Norman Osborn with absolute power = super-heroes dying, mutants being enslaved, or any other horrific act we can think of, right? No, it doesn’t. It means we’ll be reading about an underachieving psychopath that probably couldn’t put paper in a printer.

So what went wrong? First off, the simple decision of labeling this short era was a mistake. That in itself raises expectations dramatically. But more importantly was that there was no loss of hope for heroes overcoming this “Dark Reign”.  Yeah Norman was legally in charge but he lost every single battle in every single title. He, his Thunderbolts, and Dark Avengers pretty much got beat up by Deadpool. Deadpool is in an idiot! How is he manhandling the planet’s best clandestine operation and its most dangerous operatives? How!

Marvel , what you had in your hand was a golden opportunity to put our heroes back to square one and make them the underdogs again. Instead, you failed. Nice job!

*sigh* At least Secret Warriors is awesome.

Greetings from Murs47

FRP is proud to announce that I, Murs of 47, will start blogging about stuffage on FRP! But what is stuffage? Stuffage is a broad description of the goings on in our everyday lives. However I’ll be narrowing down the stuffage to topics that relate to Freedom Force, movies, art, comics, and Prev’s erotic film collection. Excited? Damn right you are!

Come to think of it, what does blog mean? It sounds like the noise people make when they vomit. “Oh my god dude! I drank a whole fifth of vodka and started blogging everywhere!” Makes perfect sense of course. Blogs are just people spewing out their balderdash pretending like someone gives 2 cents and a nickel. So why am I doing this then? Therapeutic treatment for my neurotic behavior? Probably. Sometimes you just gotta get things off your chest. And I still haven’t fully recovered from the emotional damage of Steve Rogers’ death. So this is perfect for me.

Anyways, more words of wisdom coming soon!
