He looks ok.... the gray hair kinda makes him look washed out, in my opinion. Also, you might want to make the edges of the alpha map less jagged... you can especially see jagged edges along the bottom of Ramuh's robe. Also, the red crystal in his staff doesn't really go with the whole Thunder = purple theme. I'd probably make the purple deeper and more saturated, and bump up the glow if that's possible. Maybe even change his eye color to bluish-purple or gold.

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

I would have agree Ryad there. While the silver hair fits in more with the idea of thunder, it just lacks contrast with the face. Maybe if you turned the eyes white (allowing you to change the staff) you could have Vana'diel's first black Ramuh. . . :-D

Or you could just make the beard a bit more salt n' peppered and add a slight tinge of purple to help differentiate it from the face. I'd still change the eyes though.

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

titan is gorgeous, im forcing all the smn i know on PC to download and switch the .dats. I have trouble seeing more than the more detail you added to garuda but switched that as well. Maybe ill go fight the prime to see. If carby is done can we have that too? and are you doing shiva and ifrit sometime soon? shiva/ifrit/fenrir would be nice to have better looking avatars for Keep up the good work

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

Excellent work re-texturing. Some comments on Ramuh:

The extra darkness you've added to his skirt seems too much. The detail that was found in the original model appears to have been swallowed up by the lack of contrast between the main colour and the detailed lines. The skirt and the waistcoat don't match up, though I'm not sure if that's to be worked on or changed when properly alpha mapped.

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

Finally! An update!

Just a little WIP shot for Leviathan. I changed the pink to green and I tried to make him a little shinier so he would look wet. His new texture is only about half there so far-I'm planning on giving him better defined scales, and probably going to darken up his stomach a bit so that it's not so blinding. (His bottom half is untextured so far.)

Oh, and I think I'm going to scrap Ramuh's bottom half and try to do it over, as well as adding more contrast to his head. (Will not give him goth makeup...will not give him goth makeup...)

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

When you do shiva - would it be possible to give her a different coloration? Maybe more like how she looked like from other games? Less purple (that color is so ugly on her..) and more blue/teals/white? Like whitish-blue skin with blue and teal hair? and if it was possible to change how her costume looks like to look more the ones from previous games. I've attached a few pictures of her from various other Final Fantasys.. though I think she'd look better if her hair could be remodeled. More or less make her look less like a blue and purple elvaan and more like she was carved from ice

Hope this helps inspire you.

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

Ask and ye shall receive.

Guess who's supposed to be doing homework rather than reskinning avatars...and who is reskinning avatars anyway?

Um...yeah...anyway... I was inspired by Selenity's post and started working on Shiva. I'm trying to make her look more icy, parts of her are working (namely her chest) and parts of her aren't. (Namely her thighs...which I'm going to remodel anyway. Because, honestly, they scare me. )

I'm actually tempted to leave her naked, because I'm so happy with the way her torso turned out. And I wish I could manage to log into the game and find out how it actually looks, but, ah well.

So I give you: Shiva! (aka: My avatar hath no clothes!)

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

Wow, she looks much better already! I can't wait until that skin is ready!

[Selenity]

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

Wow she's looking much better already! - Is there any possibility that her hair could be remodeled to not be those weird .. hair.. tenticle things - but one solid piece of hair?

Re: Project: Avatar reskinning

I think I like the whole blue skin look more than the hume skin look I've seen over at the japanese modelling page XOOP or whatever it was called.

I want!
