Racers Upgrade Pack

[Olivus Prime]

Over the past week or so, I've been attempting to make a pack of skins that not only features texture corrections for two of the game's characters, but also features several classic minifigures to replace the more boring body parts (i.e. the racing suits, Majisto's body, the regular moustache/sunglasses/skeleton heads).

 

The pack provides a corrected chest texture for Commander Cold, and textures for Black Knight that match the actual Black Knight minifigure (no more mish-mash Fright Knights and Dragon Knights parts...). This includes a new face, chest and swapped helmet colours. The MAP has also been modified for Black Knight (Commander Cold doesn't need one). Meanwhile, here's the list so far for the additional characters, check out the spoiler at the end of the post to see them in action:

• Señor Palomar - Amazon Adventurers
• Sheriff Deputy - Western
• Spyrius Agent - Spyrius
• Space Port Astronaut - Space Port (Rocket Racers homage )
• ??? - Castle character

The last figure brings me to a question - I wanted to use the black Castle helmet in a figure, so do you guys think I should do a Fright Knight character or a Black Falcon?

 

I'll try and get the textures up by next week!

 

Señor Palomar (expressions and corrected face needed):

 

Sheriff Deputy (complete):

 

Spyrius Agent (expressions and retextured helmet needed):

 

Space Port Astronaut (corrected face and Space Port chest needed):

 

Corrected Commander Cold:

 

Corrected Black Knight (Expressions needed):

Great stuff, sir. Loving the Spyrius astronaut. As for the knight, we've already got both Willa and Basil from Fright Knights, so my vote goes to the Black Falcons character.

These are great! I do like the Space Port Astronaut.

Hooray for Spyrius and Senor Palomar! Bad people need love, too, you know?

The last figure brings me to a question - I wanted to use the black Castle helmet in a figure, so do you guys think I should do a Fright Knight character or a Black Falcon?

Neither Fight Knight, nor Black Falcon, in my humble opinion. Dragon Masters were my favourite faction, back then. Their wizard doesn't count. If DRagon Knights are out of the question, another Fright Knight would be desireable, though.

Loving the Spyrius Astronaut.

Hooray for Spyrius and Senor Palomar!

 

Thanks for the comments guys! I did find it kind of strange that, what with there being a brickset and track featuring Spyrius, there were no Spyrius parts in the character builder. He was one of the first choices.

 

 

I do like the Space Port Astronaut.

 

Thanks, the reason why he features a Launch Command chest and helmet is because the chest belongs to my minifigure of me in reality , so it was the first texture I attempted.

 

 

my vote goes to the Black Falcons character.

another Fright Knight would be desireable, though.

 

If I were to go with the Fright Knight, in order for it to fit in the game with all the other skins, I would need to replace either the regular smiley or the regular female face, both of which I feel should remain. I think it's the cooler skin, though (but I'm saying this as a Fright Knights fanboy).

 

On the other hand, I'm tempted to go Black Falcon because it will fit with everything else, and will be a nice throwback to an older theme (I think the only pre-90s ones in the game are Pirate and arguably Black Knights).

 

Thanks for your opinions!

Black Falcon.

 

These are really good BTW. Commander Cold especially.

[ChromeLuigi]

Awesome man. Keep up the good work.

[Fifi La Fume]

I would show you my texture work, but I am afraid you've probably already have been exposed to it.

If you need any help with expressions, I'm your man.

[Rock Monster]

If I were you, I'd do Black Falcon, definitely. 

 

By the way, do you think you could let us download these textures????? Thanks.
