The Murda Lair: LOWM Edition

[DialM4Murda]

Decided to start up a separate showcase for the LOWM CAWs. =P Now I've got 2 showcases, ftw. lol Anyways, I haven't really done a lot of CAW stuff besides importing some 2009ers into the mix. But for now? My main project is The Bad Guy, Razor Ramon. Anyone who knows me knows, knows I'm a huge Razor Ramon/Scott Hall fan. And well... Decided to take a crack at making him myself for LOWM. >.> Even though he should have been in anyways. lol This is still a work in progress, but I wanted to get some fresh pairs of eyes to take a look at it for me. Feel free to give suggestions, tips, comments, etc. It's not final. So, if you see something that could be improved on, feel free to let me know. I haven't tried to make a real person in a long, long time. Mainly cause I don't think I'm that good at it. Which is why I mostly only do Originals. So... Yeah. Fire away. ;D

[spyder78]

That's a good start man heading in the right direction off the bat... I am not good at making real wrestlers unless they are masked, that way I can hide their faces XD

Here's a real good ref pic site for Da Bad Guy

[J-PyRo]

Not to mention you can probably get away with him not exactly looking right. I mean, those in game wrestlers look like a pharmaceutical company is operating out of the back anyways. Is the crotch blur still in this one? Or are you able to actually do some Razor tights?

Plus, he needs more stubble. Try taking one of the full beards and putting a trans of like, 10 on it.

[spyder78]

No crotch blurs in this game my good man

Not mine BTW just wanted to show ya a Razor caw for a ref

[DialM4Murda]

*wonders when Razor ever had tassels on his vest*

There actually is a crotch blur in this game. >.> Unless the 360 doesn't have a crotch blur and the PS3 version does. Cause I definitely have crotch blurs on my game.

I'll work on the facial hair to see if I can get it better.



This was the pic that I got the facial hair from. It's a premade template one. Want to get the face as close as possible. Body wise, I might exaggerate to meet the beefed up LOWM versions of the legends. But facially, I want to get accurate as possible. >.>

;D Started a few others today too. Got a Legend mode 187 in the works as well as Jack Douglas in his prime. Also got plans for Smiley and Dante. But Razor is the only one I've been working hard on.

[DialM4Murda]

Time for a couple of originals that I'm quite proud of.



Out in the streets, they call him.... MURDAAAAAAAA! lol Tha Infamous 187, baddest mothafucka in the business. Imported and modified to fit the LOWM roster. Unfortunately, this is a version of 187 that I would love to have 64 layers to create. I had to delete 2 key layers for 187 in order to finish it. I removed the facial scar since there's face paint and you wouldn't see it anyways with it on. And I also deleted the body scars in order to finish him. Would need 34 layers to complete this. But without the scars, still get the same effect. Put on The Punisher skull face paint on 187 as that was a symbol he's adopted as a shirt design in the past. Put on the classic nWo styled 187 logo on the shirt that originated on HCTP. It's not an old attire from the past, but rather some past ideas implemented into a new attire for my flagship Legend character. I think it came out beautifully. ;D



Next up... We have the new Legend of my CAW roster... In his prime. Jack "Diamonds Are Forever" Douglas. A much younger, much more fit, and a much more confident and cocky version of Jack Douglas from his 80's era of wrestling. I developed the gimmick for his character on spot after messing around on the attire.And I kind of like the whole "Diamonds Are Forever" idea for Jack. It's a mixture of certain ideas like Rick Rude, Ric Flair, and Ted Dibiase. Jack Douglas considers himself a diamond in the rough, a talented superstar among the ranks. He says that "diamonds" are a girls best friend, meaning he's a ladies man kind of guy. He styles. He profiles. XD He's just your typical egotistical cocky guy who considers himself above the rest. But he's a face character, instead of a heel. I think it came out nicely. The attire has shades of his Smackdown incarnation (as well as it should since that's the present one and this is a past version.) Used a similar idea for the arms like Randy "The Ram" Robinson wore. Same ol' JD trunks. I think it's a successful blast from the past.

[chelsea.staub]

I love them both. <3 Younger Jack Douglas sure looks to be quite the stallion...XD; And the face paint on 187 is great.

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks. Jack has definitely seen some better days prior to his coming to GCW. That's for sure. XD It's a shame what a fall from grace will do to a person. And 187 is the new Frank Castle, ftw. He punishes the wicked, and anyone that just pisses him off. XD lol

[Mistah Showtime]

Michael Taylor is still waiting on his "punishment" that 187 promised back in APW. XD A feud restored? It should be.

Loving the 187 look you got going with the facepaint. Young JD looks good too. Reminds me of Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. Got a couple of my own "Legends" in the making that I plan on showing off soon enough!

[j]

Jack and 187 are looking good man. Keep it up ;D

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks. I did some heavy modifying to JD's import. Any resemblance to Ordorff is merely coincidence. XD I just took the old '09 version and did a lot of modifications to make him younger. The only changes to his face was shrinking up the jaw and cheeks, to shave off of his beard. And plenty of botox to young him up. XD lol Just kidding.

187 and Taylor definitely need to have a rematch sometime. XD That feud was pretty good back in the day. *sigh...* Gotta miss the good ol' days.

[Skull]

187 looks great, man. So does Douglas. Liking them both.

[spyder78]

Sweet work man, they both look kickass man

[DialM4Murda]

Time for a big update. ;D

First three up, was made just purely out of the fun of it. It's three wrestling legends from the Capcom world. Tried my best to do them justice, but of course I'm not going to get the exaggerated bodies that Capcom has been known to do with their characters. But I'm happy with the outcomes that I got. So here's my CAWs of Zangief, Hugo Andore, and Mike Haggar. =P







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then here's three originals from the Murda Lair.




Here we have the man responsible for ending the career of Jack Douglas. His name is "Blazing" Scott Edwards. I've mentioned him several times in past RPs as Jack Douglas. This is the man that he's referring to. I didn't have a CAW of him created when I was developing Jack's back story, but an image of him cage to mind. And I think that image really came out in his CAL form pretty well. I had imagined Scott Edwards to look somewhere along the lines of Eddie Guerrero and I think that it really does give off that feeling. Totally was intentional. =P Don't really have too much to say about the guy since he's brand spankin' new and created through Jack Douglas' own wrestling past. This is the man responsible for back suplexing Jack Douglas off of a steel cage wall onto the mat. Resulting in a career ending spinal injury for Jack Douglas. Can't say it was on purpose, but he did it. So, yeah... =P This is "Blazing" Scott Edwards.



Next up, we have my evil psychotic clown joining the ranks of my Legends roster. It's a variation of himself from an alternate universe developed in the brief world of VWA. Basically in VWA, we had our own characters in an alternate universe setting that was in a middle Earth kind of feel to it. And I RPed Smiley there, but he was known as the clown faced pirate, Captain Smiley. =D Always up to no good with his partner in crime, Maniac's creation Giggles.Causing chaos, terrorizing the alternate universe Johnny Pheonix, and owning the seas with his band of crazy clown pirates. lol Yeah. So, here is Captain Smiley in CAW form. It's a little different than the version I created on SmackDown, but I like it. I think it came out pretty well. I wouldn't want to bump into him out on the sea. XD That's for sure. lol



And finally, we have another guy from Jack Douglas' neck of the woods, Big Bob Anderson. He was another guy I commonly referenced in Jack Douglas' history when I RPed him. He also didn't have a CAW created, just an idea in mind of how I envisioned him. I wanted a combination of Hollywood Hogan, One Man Gang, and Sycho Sid. I think those three can be easily seen in him. XD It also helps that One Man Gang's jacket is in the game, but I modified it slightly to put Chain Gang overtop of it. Big Bob Anderson was Jack Douglas' rival back in the day. Big Bob's a heel character who I'm sure you can tell is a biker gang type of guy. >.> Though it sucks that Palumbo wasn't importable from '09. So no motorcycle for Big Bob. But this is another from Jack Douglas' back story that I've mentioned several times in RPs, and thought it'd be great to make him on Legends. And here he is. I like the outcome. It's a lot how I imagined him when envisioning him. >.> Too bad he has no bike to ride. lol

That's all I got for now. lol Enjoy.

[!!!PUNCH!!!]

My only objection to the Capcom caws would actually be the body morphs. They look WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to thin IMO, but the concepts and detailing are spot on. Scott Edwards IMO looks the best of the bunch. (To me anywayz) The combo of the fire tights and and tassel boots definitely work wonders for him.

[White Leather Jacket]

Captain Smiley
Liking the new updates and CAW's DM4M keep up the good work.

[spyder78]

Nice work on the Capcom dudes man... but wicked work on Smiley & Big Bob, loving the tights on Edward too

[DialM4Murda]

;D Thanks for the comments guys.

I'll try working on my Capcom guys a little more. >.> Hugo is kind of a big issue with his morphing. The guy is supposed to be freakin' 7'10'' ft tall. XD And I'm trying to make him as tall as possible, but at the same time, when you look at promotional art and the way his fighting cap appearance looks, he's got short arms and legs. So it's hard to proportion Hugo in a way to make him a giant, but give him this stubby look he has. I've already beefed up Mike Haggar a little more and I feel he looks better. =P Might even try his wrestling attire from Saturday Night Slam Masters series. Zangief, I also agree needs some more muscle mass. I know they won't get as huge as they are in the Capcom world. lol But I'll definitely try to get them up. You think their faces are pretty well done? I know Hugo's face probably needs work. I think Haggar and Zangief came out pretty well.

[*†*Oz70NYC*†*]

I don't know if the morphing physics to LOWM are exact the same as SVR, but I can shoot you the body morphs I used for this guy...



As far as scale goes, he's about as close to Hugo body shape as you can realistically get without him looking like a total mess. Of course some tweaking might be needed if the values don't sync well, but I'm sure you can improvise.

[DialM4Murda]

Morphing physics are exactly the same as 2009. It's only a matter of beefing up any 'normal' sized CAWs to match the real roster's over-sized roster so you don't look like a total toothpick while facing someone like Hogan. I've done some heavy tweaking on all three, so I might throw up some updates in the near future.

[J-PyRo]

Still 32 layers?

[Mistah Showtime]

Nope. LOWM is 64 layers for both 360 and PS3 versions.

[White Leather Jacket]

Actually it aint. Still 32 for PS3.

[DialM4Murda]

Few updates here. Here's my tweaked Cacpom guys. I think they're builds look pretty good now. I'm especially liking the way Mike Haggar came out. Zangief and Hugo look a little better in my opinion.







Next up, another original.



LOWM Edition of X-Rated. =D A major change from his original counterpart. At first, I wasn't going to do X-Rated. Didn't really feel like he was up there in Legend status, but I decided to go on ahead and make 'em a Legend. He's been around since like 2006 or 2007 I believe. I forget which year exactly. lol But yeah, anyways... This is my legend mode X-Rated. Kind of rockin' some Rico sideburns. XD lol I'm pretty happy with the attire. It's simple, but I like it.

[spyder78]

Nice the updated body figs look better on them my good man

and that attire on X-Rated totally fits his gimmick,lol
