Cleaned up most of the lighting & detail:

The skin texture detail will come later when I'm doing team colors (if you squint you can see one texture in my previous post, around the calves). And here are the faces, not done but getting there. I'm really excited to add the color to this skin, lots of ideas...

More soon, I hope...

I like the bug. 2 quick things:
1) is this an update to an existing skin?
2) Do you have a color scheme in mind for it yet?

There was an insect warrior toy when i was a kid, like in the 1970's (so old) this is reminding me of.

1) This is a ground-up remake of my original Skinsect skin. I had completely forgotten about it until I ran across it after I updated my Diesel skin. Like Diesel, it pained me to look at the original, so I decided to remake it.

2) For the colors, I'm planning to have team colors based on insect coloration in nature
- The spider face will go nicely with a red & black/black widow treatment for red team
- The mantis face will match the green team, with some orange-ish accents at the extremities
- The hornet face will accompany a yellow/black pattern for the gold team
- For the fly face I'll attempt a blue iridescent (maybe pinkish/purplish highlights) for blue team

And thanks y'all for the kind words - glad you like it! It's hard for me to judge my own work when I'm agonizing over every pixel :wink: But working in 3D in Photoshop has really helped me with edge alignment and projecting the insect eye details so that the faces look decent from most angle.

I have a little vacation time I have to use up before the end of the year, so I'm hoping to use that to finish it for you guys in time for the holidays :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Yeah, the Xan Mk II mesh using only one 256x256 texture is not ideal. I did another pass though, got the legs & hands a little better:

Enjoy!
