    Cool concept, but you better let that poor girl heal at some point! I'm all for scarification of characters, but this is just mean.

    Also, to get better control over the opacity/edges, try using GIMP. Keep the marked man textures underneath the her normal skin, and then right click on the top layer [her skin] and pick "add layer mask". Painting on the layer with black acts like an eraser, and painting it with white will restore it/bring it back. Just paint black where you want the marked men wounds to show, and it'll blend with her normal skin a little more naturally.

      Hi! Er... you might not want to look at the update I posted last night.

      Yes, I actually arrived at a similar conclusion yesterday, make the Marked Man layer the background and just poke holes in the regular skin where I want it to shine through. If I get that how I want it and the edges are still too sharp, I'll just take the flattened DDS and use a blending tool on it.

      It's good to see you here. Just sayin'. Stuff like this is what happens when you're away. Only you can prevent Ramona abuse and get her sent on vacations and stuff.

      Oh, I saw the update. I'm just expecting you to make it up to her in some way... Maybe turn the Sierra Madre into an old world spa instead of a casino.

      And ahh, careful, I might just have to stay around then. I got two and a half weeks left in this semester, then I will definitely be around nagging for vacations and the like, no worries.

      Well, I'll have an entry posted sometime tonight. It's written and all I need to do is upload images, substitute links, and post it. Maybe the next post will make it up to her with two bottles of whiskey and three of Scotch?

    Well, this is a really interesting but rather disturbing turn of events. You're doing one heck of a job on the Marked Man skin textures, but poor Mona! However, it's going to be great for you to illustrate the damage when she gets it. The textures are, erm, great.

      You aint' seen nothin' yet, sister! I promise to only use the effect when it serves a purpose.

      As for the textures, you'll be blown away when you see how far they've come today thanks to Anoxeron.

    Nice work on the armor, and you sure are hard on Mona

      I actually got some more work on the armor done to remove the collar from the undershirt and tightened up the back. I'll be posting an update soon.

      I'm hard on her? She's the one that put on the Marked Men's helmets and absorbed their bad mojo. Now it's beginning to show like I wanted to in the last story entry.

    Ramona has got to find that seriously disturbing, especially since the Marked Men's appearance was due to their skin being flayed off. As long as her mutations don't cover up distinctive scars or tatoos, all is good

      Yeah, I'm working on that. Actually, Anoxeron is helping me work on that, and doing it at least 3000% faster than I would have been able to.

    Catching up today. Well, she's picked up a little something from just about every place she's gone. Better her arms than her face.

      Hiya! Glad you stopped by! Yeah, she's certainly become a product of her environments hasn't she? I've always believe that what doesn't kill her makes her stronger and there are plenty of near death experiences planned for her if/when I get around to writing all the stuff in my head.

      As for her face... I'm not done yet.

      BTW, I arrived at Lake Geneva last night -- for about 4 weeks.

    Looks really cool, as you said, needs some blending with her regular skin, but I really like just this small little peak of a WiP. Looking forward to seeing the end result!

      Thanks BN! I'm kinda looking forward to it too, to be honest. As with most of my customizations, this was inspired by a future scene I've been thinking about. The more it stews in my head, the more detailed it's getting and ... Well, I think folks might enjoy it when it happens if I can pull it off properly.

    Wow wonderful as always my friend and i'm loving the awesome skin changes and the removed sleeves. by the way check out this mod for a retexture of that outfit and more. Blachnick90s Dead Money Survival Pack by Blachnick90 ( http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47557/? ) it has three diffrent colors and they all look great it will make Mona even more awesome than she is already As we all say Next Please.

      Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the peek. I'm familiar with Blachnick90's work (helped develop, translate, and test The Book of Rarity). Kinda sad he's not into modding much anymore, just posts to DeviantArt often enough to remind folks that he's still alive.

      Er... Sorry, got distracted. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll work in one of his textures in the future. The next two entries are already shot, I just need to put words to them.

    Ohhhhh...neat!

    I like your interpretation of things from in game. I like she has a solid backstory forming up. Well done!

      Thank you. It's funny to think that I've been at it for several years now and have cranked out over 120 story entries. Her actual backstory took something like 29 entries and starts here if you'd like to catch it from the beginning.

    Always interested in seeing what you come up with I've always been fascinated by getting a peek at how things are made instead of merely seeing - and maybe using- the finished project. The way you explain it it makes a lot of sense and I am curious to see what comes of it

      Thanks Bernt. Anytime you want to learn, just give the word...

      Oh yeah, I guess I could release the suit. I'll have to check Madcat's perms as I'm using his version. Nope, no perms specified and I haven't seen him or Annie in these parts for a while, but he left his email address on the mod page. If there's demand I'll bother him about it.

      I'm sure you'll see the finished product soon enough.

      Thanks! Heh, any chance I could talk you into remapping the Marked Man skin over a T3 skin?
