09/09/2017 Adam Cole - Available now on PSN! | Defract's CAW Thread

[Mister23Kennedy]

Wow, you're nailing these guys this year.

[bbrittain84]

I liked the original preview's face alil more actually- he almost looks too happy in a straight faced way in the update if that makes sense? Its NOT bad tho, dont get me wrong- i was just really liking the look of the original.. One other thing is the hair looked better in the other version cuz its not so flat to his head like in the slicked back update- it even had almost the same cowlick in his hair (i always thought the word sounds like callack or calik)

[JonnyKarate]

Defract what are Thorne & Miller's celebrations after the match?

[Codes.]

Reworked Cole as I wasn't happy with the face texture.

Credit to HiPCavallo for the logos

Suggestions:

- I feel like Cole's head is the right width, but his face itself has been compressed

- His eye are lacking the slant on the top part which is critical in capturing his likeness

- You could due to make the nostrils themselves a little wider, he's not post op Michael Jackson  

- The corners of the hairline need to be rounded off a little

- The forehead needs to be a little shorter

- His upper lip needs to be a little thicker in the middle

- I think the chin might need to be a little longer

- If possible make the ears stick out a little less

Refs:

Also, I should mention that I'm going to be hoping for you to make Roode as I feel you're the only person that could do him proper justice.

👆 I dunno about the forehead cuz Cole kinnnnnnda DOES have a "fivehead" 😆 & i didnt C any issue there myself..

& OF COURSE Defract WOULD do a Top Notch Bobby Roode -i think a couple guys HAVE done some really nice work of em already on CC

Anyway anybody else wit me that the original captured his likeness pretty damm well? Defract- I TOTALLY have faith in your creativity & i hope u dont take it the wrong way -i just figured if i didnt say anything.. well then u wouldnt know..

Added blown up versions of the original & updated previews

[NickBreaker]

Good suggestions by Codes. I think the new face is way better but I feel what that guy was saying about the hair style - I'm guessing this one opens up the forehead area more, which is key for this caw.

I think even lightening this hair and giving a bit more colour would help the look of it. This style tends to look dull and dark from what I've seen. 

I think his eye size needs to go up a couple of clicks, but it really is a very advanced preview.

[Defract]

Gonna revisit this soon. Thanks for the suggestions guys

[bbrittain84]

Hey Defract just curious if u think u will go back to doing the 2nd Attire again for Omega now that they fixed the logo limit/save corruption bullshit with the Patch?

[Defract]

Reworked Cole:

[the blur]

Cole is looking really good man. Wow! Can't wait. What else you planning on after Cole?

[Defract]

I have a Will Ospreay well underway.

[skeletonrook]

This looks fantastic

[bbrittain84]

Reworked Cole:

wow! 😲 the update looks amazingly accurate mann/spot on- i am REEEEAALLY impressed! 👍👍

[Honor Me]

Fucking incredible dude. 👌🏻

Black and white Bullet Club trunks for the 2nd attire?

[Codes.]

Reworked Cole:

Suggestions:

- Angle the end of the eyebrows up just a little more. They dip just a little too low

- Fix the inner part of the eyebrow on the left so it doesn't dip so low.

- I would invest a little time into really getting the shape of his jawline down. It looks a bit off. The issue appear to be the chin.

 

[Defract]

Updates, I have reworked Coles jaw/brow area but it may not be visible in such a small preview:

 

[Codes.]

@Defract What does Cole look like during his entrance? I want to see if something is a morphing issue or a shadow issue.

[Browncoat Alex]

Ospreay looks good but his hair definitely needs to be darker.

[Bob_Van_Dam]

Ospreay looks good but his hair definitely needs to be darker.

Don't think so, he bleached his hair.

[Codes.]

After looking at some refs, the only thing holding that Cole back from being the most accurate one I have ever seen is the hairline. It just need to be brought done a smidge in the middle if at all possible. If not, it's still fucking fantastic Defract. 

[Browncoat Alex]

Ospreay looks good but his hair definitely needs to be darker.

Don't think so, he bleached his hair.

Ignore me then, I'm out of date haha.

[Defract]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

The Adam Cole is insane- im loving it!! 🤘🤘 & the hair looks fine- actually i think it looks great! i def wouldn't touch it personally..     👍👍

Ospreay looks amazing- i had thought the other one on CC looked pretty good besides the face & body skin tone not properly being blended UNTIL i seen this! 😲 & im not really a fan of his new bleached hair mayb just cuz its new i dunno buuuuuut that IS how he has it these days- so i get it! 👍👍

& Naito ✊ is my favorite non WWE or Bullet Club Heel in the Industry & im very happy ur doin em again- coming along 👍👍 this face ya got is F'N spot on mann buuuuuut one thing im not loving- i do NOT like the boots at all (i know they dont got his proper boots to choose from but sometimes less is more) i REALLY like how the 2k16 version came out with those boots ya had chosen- heres alil reminder:

You have gotten so much better since last year. Easily my favorite thread this year. Awesome new stuff every time I check. You still plan to eventually do DIY?
