JLA What-If Week 2 - Behind the Scenes

So. Wonder Woman. Rather then try to model her usual costume, which is considerably more elaborate and would have been difficult to pull off, I used a costume variant that looked way cooler, in my humble opinion.

I couldn't find the exact same picture, but the one I referenced didn't have the jacket, so that's why my version doesn't have it.

Wonder Woman's face, though still not quite like SHSO's real female faces, is better then Moonstone and Songbird's faces from my Thunderbirds What-If.

You can also see the texture on the hair, which is not really visible in the final What-If, however I struggled to find an appropriate texture for around five minutes. I ended up blending together multiple textures in my painting program, and it ended up quite nicely.

The full-res hair texture, which you are free to use, (all textures came form various images I got online).

Closer view of the hair texture on the model.

There's obviously a lot more to say here about modeling, lighting, etc, but I'll let this movie I created do the rest of the talking.

In case you're wondering, I composed the music that accompanies this video myself JUST for the video. :D

Anyway, there's one last thing I'd like to talk about in this post.

Every time I release the What-If of the week, I change the background image to show the two new heroes I release, which is something new that I introduced with this What-If. I also put links at the top of this blog in the tab bar to help you navigate the weeks of the What-If. what will happen when both of these features are no longer there? Well, the backgrounds will go back to the way they were before, changing ore or less whenever a new hero is released to showcase that hero. The header image will be changed to a brand new one that I hope will look way better then my old one. And finally, I plan on releasing a special What-Ifs page that will give out links to each What-If post I've ever made, from my Batman TDK What-If to this one. So look for all of that soon. :)

JLA What-If - Week 2

Note: the following post is fictional, and does not represent any actual gameplay or announcements from Gazillion Entertainment, Marvel or DC.

---

Flash and Wonder Woman have been released! I was fortunately able to purchase both! :D

Makes me wonder who'll be coming next week, maybe the Darkseid mission and Green Lantern? I hope so.

WONDER WOMAN

EXPLORATION

Wonder Woman is a fun hero to explore the zones with, mostly because of her double jumping ability and her flight ability. (seen below)

I'm so glad she's a double jump hero, it'll make collecting her Hero Tokens all the more fun.

I give Wonder Woman's EXPLORATION a 5/5!

FIGHTING

Wonder Woman fights really well, due to an amazing power attack that I've never seen before, where she deflect an enemies' attacks using her wrist gauntlets. Her combo attack is a fast and furious series of  freestyle kicks and punches, followed by a quick twirl of the Lasso of Truth around an enemy that leaves them stunned and usually K.O.s them, and if that weren't enough, a flying punch to the stomach.

I give Wonder Woman's FIGHTING a 4.5/5!

COOL FACTOR

Wonder Woman isn't what I'd call a "cool" hero per say, but the wrist gauntlets and the fact that they used a newer costume of hers instead of her old one is awesome!

I give Wonder Woman's COOL FACTOR a 3.5/5!

OVERALL: Get Wonder Woman for her great attack combo, double jump and spiffy boots.

I give Wonder Woman an OVERALL score of 4/5!

THE FLASH

EXPLORATION

Flash's exploration is awesome, because he actually runs quickly through the zones! His speed in the zones is about as fast as when you get a speed boost in the missions. Just because of this, I'm willing to overlook his otherwise standard jumping ability, (no flight).

I give Flash's EXPLORATION a 4/5! :D

FIGHTING

Flash has a few great attacks, such as his Hero Up in which he runs in circles around the enemies, knocking them out. His attack combo is mostly made up of super-fast punches, which isn't anything we haven't seen before, (Superman). His first power attack is like Spidergirl's seismic jump attack.

I give Flash's FIGHTING a 3.5/5!

COOL FACTOR

Flash is in his Barry Allen costume this time around, and I certainly appreciate it. I'm not sure how good a tin hat would look in this game. :P

I give his COOL FACTOR a 3/5! :D

OVERALL: Flash is certainly a fun hero to play as, and I'll enjoy reaching max level, especially because of his EXPLORATION.

I give Flash an OVERALL score of 3.7/5! :D

I hope that after this month we'll get to see more obscure JLA heroes, and maybe even some Young Justice characters. At the very least Impulse, (a personal favorite of mine).

I can't wait to see what the next two weeks have in store!
