Description This is my latest and possible final entry to this months Deviant Universe Challenge. I decieded to copy a cover to one of my favourite marvel series of comics before it kind of went bad. The Exiles! Here is the original cover. [link] by Mike McKone (thanks xdante619!)

This one was a nightmare to make if I'm honest, but I'm very pleased with the end result. I put my machine to the limit with these characters, as it was prone to crashing and once I lost two of the characters since I forgot to save it. As you can tell, Watchamacallit was the most challenging, and I had to hide his hands and legs really since I couldn't replicate the hooves and what not. Hope I did the big guy some justice.

Phew! Need a breather after this one, I was hoping to get this done yesterday in short time... turned into hours of work. If I could change something, it would be replacing the positions of the Empty Suit and Rufus, but I had that much trouble posing I had to settle with it the way it was. But like I said I am pleased with the final result. Hope you guys like eet!

Thanks a lot! Was a pain in the backside at the time to work on trying to get the poses right and getting the post work all sorted for the likes of Wat and 42X, but it was definatley worth it and despite some mistakes I'm pleased with the final product

Glad you like eet!

You really gave 42X a good and realistic look.
As for Wat, I remember you testing your skills on him once before, during the Secret Wars. That was a good one already, but I think you improved here

Wow! This is pretty impressive! I can't believe you managed to make a Watchamacallit! Obviously I can never get enough of this version of Vigil, but the others look good too! Great stuff, nicely done!

thedude255 In reply to Kostmeyer [2012-05-22 11:00:41 +0000 UTC]

Cheers. Vigil, Empty Suit and Blaze were nice and easy, the other three always take some extra work post image XD Still, despite some errors here and there I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Hope you don't mind me using your art for the icon >_>

Talking about a semi Reunion of DA Secret Wars!
Wow! Wat in 3D is Amazing!

Yah, I never thought of that. I think it was only Rufus who did not take part? Could double this up quite easily as a Secret Wars poster with a bit of manipulation

But yah, I think Wat takes the spotlight in this image, its a shame I can only make his upper body

D3kaB1u3 In reply to thedude255 [2012-05-22 19:46:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! you could replace Rufus with The Wormm and there ya go! SW Poster in no time!

But at least you did your best with the good olΒ΄Wat!

This is great! It's almost like seeing a movie poster of our characters.

I did make a mistake with 42x, I forgot to add the design on his outfit with the yellow trims X(

Alas, I'm gonna try and see if I can update the model since as it stands it takes a lot of postwork to get him as right as I can. Still, I'm glad you like the image, hope I did 42X some justice at least

mja42x In reply to thedude255 [2012-05-22 12:53:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I noticed that 42X's uniform is missing some design elements, but I figured that you are sometimes limited with your program. He still looks really cool though, and if you can find a way to update the model, that would be awesome.

No problem Exhiles was a pretty interesting idea just a shame they lost their way with it. Hopefully I'll be able to bring a similar team into DU soon

Yah, it was so good for a long time. I think it was during House of M that it began to slump, then it really just lost its way

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your entry.
