yeah, i saw those, but i was looking for something less far away scenic and more in the room. Dark_Storm what do you think? Did you want one of those pics or a different one? I realize now i didn't color one of the wrist pads, did you want the flame thrower there or on the forearm? The sooner you respond the better because i'm dumping my computer very shortly here

+ my current no gun model:

in your user profile, you can import pics into your album (you can create this to) or just make a photobucket or imageshack account.

as for the group thing, i think Da_man is the only one that can invite people.

PS. also watch out for double posting. there is an edit option down at the bottom of your posts. use that instead of creating a new one.

Sorry guys, the nice storm that hit yesterday knocked out my power. My home internet is out so I probably won't be able to post much the next few days. I don't want to re-format until i can back everything up either so... I'll be able to fill some requests if i get them while i'm online.

and here's a avi sized cody and pheonix (they're on photobucket so I don't know if you can see them or not M@rs):

I'll get M@Rs into the group. I'm trying to figure out how I can let members invite others.
And I've also been gone since Friday. Did the whole San Diego Zoo death march with my family. :xp:
Also, as an alternative to getting rid of the whole gun, try making a lightsaber like THIS (http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/screenshots/File/84232/1)

i'm pretty much out of ideas, that's why i try getting requests for these. So i'd say until there's another request to fill, go with your own idea. I don't know if you saw or not, but if you download/save http://genliwar.googlepages.com/commandos.zip), i put in a bunch of files that i use/have used in creating them

I tried doing a no gun Model, but failed miserably. I can photoshop fine, It's just making stuff out of this air is what kills me. :lol:

EDIT: I can also create animated versions that look fairly good. If you can give the frames, I can make them into animated pics, no problem.

yeah, I go with the clone/smudge until it looks decent trick. I've had to do something like it before, but I've always been able to fake it more because it would be covered up by something else. but i totally know what you mean. Changing things is a lot easier than creating things.

i let you in, M@RS, because you had some pretty good ideas,and we need ideas. :lol:

I'll see what dark_storm does, and I'll invite him based on his pic.

Also, please use something other than paint. HERE (http://www.gimp.org/) is a link to GIMP, which is the FREE version of Photoshop, which is also easier to use.

this is the only picture I could find that was good enough

Unless this is for another game then screw it I'm done :D

Well I've ended my search, and LiWar kinda beat me to the punch. I was trying to make a commando that looked similar, but the problem was that I couldn't make the the head spikes quite right.

Okay, here is my second, and original idea...Enter ZEUS!

http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=74&pictureid=391)

constructive criticism is wanted/needed...:D

personally I think he needs more lightning, and maybe have it be yellow or orange that way it stands out more...

anyone else other ideas, if not I'll work on something else...
 Da_man

Try making the lightning stick to one part of his armor, i.e. his shin-plate thingy. I'd also make the lightning 50-60% transparent, so that you can see the details under it. I'd laso add a few more details, like holsters, ammo packs, and the like.

EDIT: Here is my version of Zeus.
http://lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=43&pictureid=392)
This is what I was talking about by adding stuff. One of the things I do to put sthings behind others, i.e. wepeons on backs, is to make a seperate layer for the background object, and erase the parts that are covered, like the parts of the ammo belt, and chunks of the Spartan laser. Creating seperate layers also helps you keep stuff organized. Also, when saving, first save as .psd, so you can still mess around with the layers, and then as a .jpg, so you can put it on forums or in your albums.

When you have a chance, scan it so we can look at it, and I think you misunderstood the concept. What we do is photoshop an image of a commando, and color it and customize it to a person's liking. Look at the request around pages 13-23

Sorry guys, the power outage and my college orientation took up the last few days of my time. I do my saber effects a little differently, but it might only be a feature of photoshop. It is the same though up to the blur, then i just do a preset effect. If you repost the pic of Knightfall without the lightsaber thing, i can add a blade for you.

btw Skiller is pretty sweet.

And watch the double posts and sig pic sizes, limit is 500x120pixels. Just keepin the mods away.

the only problem that I can see, is that the holster and saber hilt aren't lit by the light saber glow...and yes yours is a lot better than mine...:)

General Liwar, thanks for the compliment, I named him Skiller because there was a kid at my old school whos name was Skyler, our English teacher called him Skiller, Skyler really liked purple, so I used the color and name :D
