MikeM Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Uploads can be found under "BigDaddyMM" and "Caws.ws" Thanks to Denyes11 for the superb face textures for most of them. Thanks also to Rekka for a lot of the tattoo resources and some of the logos. Hope the characters do your excellent work justice. Born and raised in Hampshire, but billed from his adopted home city of Manchester, the 27 year old Edwards is in many ways the "poster boy" of IWA. Despite this, he is yet to hold the biggest prize in the federation, having been mostly involved in the Intercontinental Championship picture for his tenure. His high flying and hard hitting arsenal is clearly influenced by his idol, Shawn Michaels and AJ Styles. As a tribute to HBK, Edwards uses Sweet Chin Music as his primary finisher of choice. Most people believe that when Edwards chooses to pursue the World title, then the face of IWA will be about to change. David Knight came into the IWA as a happy go lucky rookie, who showed potential but failed to really hit success. Until he fell into the spell of Isaiah Frost, who corrupted (he would say "enlightened") Knight and began teaching him the powers of the Occult and dark magic - following a hiatus of three years, the Knightmare arrived on the scene and nearly all trace of Knight had gone. In his place was a terrifying facepainted monster possessing the agility of a cat and the power of a juggernaut. In many ways he is the Undertaker of IWA, in fact many people say that Knightmare is reminiscent of the Undertaker around 1998-9 in terms of his frame and movement. Having been privileged to come from wealth, you would suspect Richard Wolfe to be a Ted Dibiase type hated heel. However he comes across as anything but. In fact Wolfe is the epitome of class and professionalism, his wrestling reflects that, everything he does is crisp and precise. He is exceptionally well presented, both in appearance and demeanour, which makes him difficult to not at least respect, if not like. Wolfe is an old school "rassler" drawing parallels with Bret Hart, Ric Flair and Mr Perfect in terms of in ring style. Kevin "Buzzsaw" Blake is a martial arts master, using a dazzling array of kicks and sweeps to best his opponents. Originally from England (in fact he's Richard Wolfe's half-brother) Blake idolised Bruce Lee, and journeyed to Hong Kong for his martial arts training - and now calls it home. Blake also has a love of the Mortal Kombat videogames (he believes he's unbeatable) which is clearly reflected in his ring attire. He was christened "Buzzsaw" by staff at the IWA training facility, who noted his kicks were as hard as ECW legend, Tajiri. As a result, Blake actually adopted the "Buzzsaw" kick as his finisher. A new tag team formed by the alliance of Alex Da Silva, and Prince Ali Amir. Both decided that having battled each other in the past, that respect was high enough to join forces and capture the tag team championship. Alex and Ali use their speed and agility, to wrestle rings around their opponents. The Icelandic behemoths Alexander "The Disaster" and his brother Russ "The Iceman" Petersson. These guys are big, powerful and have a mean streak a mile wide. The parallels with the famous team of Earthquake and Typhoon are many, and not entirely coincidental either. They are the prime team in IWA, and resolve to flatten any team that tries to challenge that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Okay, so my font of creativity has overflowed with an influx of new ideas waiting to be realised. Big & Small - "Big" Tony (Greene) & Lenny Small: Childhood friends from Phoenix basically rose through the ranks together. Team colours will be Orange (Small) and purple (Greene) RAF (Rapid Attack Force) - Aleix Da Silva and Amir Ali, red and white attire, based on the RAF's Red Arrows colours. (Amir Ali having dropped the "Prince" gimmick and teamed up with Aleix Da Silva. (may still do alternates on original attires) PowerSurge - Jordan and his brother Chris Powers. High flying, high energy, and two thirds of the "Three Musketeers" stable with Serge Malenko (no relation to Dean) Florence X (Kiss) - Motorbike riding, black leather and short dark hair. Think a female ABA and you won't be far off. Amaya James - not really sure yet, but I like the name. She's not going to be a Daisy Duke type that her name suggests. Think I might do her as a female version of a WWE legend. I'm also going to resurrect the "Freddie Mercury" gimmick that I used for Ric Rude - although this time as an original. I like the idea of fusing him with the "magic" gif from Shia Lebeoff on SNL. So Unicorn shirt and very camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I am so looking forward to getting started now I have excellent face textures available from Denyes11, together with those great tattoos etc Rekka has sent me. I'm planning for the IWA to be an entirely CAW based universe this time, no existing wrestlers at all. Might run it in a different slot to the WWE one.

MikeM Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Started work on Mike Edwards, thanks to a system crash in CAS (selecting hair) I lost three hours work. Also I tried to use a face texture for him (Axl Rose) but wasn't happy with the shadowing on the eyes, so I've gone manual with tweaked face placements and regions. He will be coming ... Also, unrelated but I was in a costume shop on Friday and there was a "Day of the Dead" mask and costume, aside from the spirals the face looked almost exactly like Knightmare, so I might play about with his design.

Rekka_No_Ryo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 if you used axl, he would not show up anyway, since your brittish, and so is mike, he would stay home and watch the footie game on the telly. You could always try other textures ? as it's nice to have options. As for Mike, why not a clean shaven AJ styles for his look, like say 07 or such ? http://aj-styles.net/gallery/ or http://phenomenal-images.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denyes11 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Interested in seeing these! I took it upon myself to create an Axl Rose texture for you. I hope it can do the job, since you're basing the character off of his face right? Here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to use this one and see what happens - but I've got Edwards' head morphing pretty much where I want it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Update, Jennifer "Jet" Rose. (WIP) Really pleased with how she's come out in terms of visually this time. I've done some more face morphing than before, to try and hollow out her cheeks, and give her a rounder and softer jawline. I've risked it this time thanks to the mirror option, so I can get a uniform jaw line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwarrior3007 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Oh cool, I loved playing out her story with Violet and then at the end of their rivalry, forming a tag team and winning the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Oh cool, I loved playing out her story with Violet and then at the end of their rivalry, forming a tag team and winning the championship. Nice to hear, Violet will be next after I've finished Jet. She's pretty easy to do, as she's really a copy of Jet, body morphing is beefed up a little and obviously new attire and then the moveset. I've lost my Ayrton Senna face texture, so I might be reverting Aleix Da Silva back to Alex Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I like his shirt. Thanks, I did it all in game this time. Set the text to 20 embossed, and it comes off pretty nice. Used your Rose trunk logos for Jet and Violet's tag team attires as well - will credit you in the comments when they go up. Awesome Violet. Can't wait to get the Roses' back on my roster. Thank you, I'm pretty happy with her - I may try and tweak the right arm tattoo a bit before release. But they're pretty much ready for CC.

MikeM Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 All of the caws this year, really look dope. Thanks. I've redone Violet's tattoos a bit, just to make them look less generic, the general layout is the same pretty much. Now working on Knightmare. Bit annoyed because you cannot use the Ascension type tights with the tabbard, and then have Papa Shango's cape or Undertaker's entrance gear - so I've had to workaround by using what I did in 2016 - Tatanka's belt. I've also had to change his boots for the entrance attire, and cannot use a hood, so he's got a black turban (which kind of plays into the "religion / spiritualism" of the gimmick I suppose. Maybe some pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekka_No_Ryo Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 you can use the hood, my Caw Gorial has it. Though he does not have the same attire as Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 you can use the hood, my Caw Gorial has it. Though he does not have the same attire as Knight. I think it might also be his ponytail that causes the issue. Anyway, more pictures!! Last one gives you a better view of Edwards' alternate gear.

Rekka_No_Ryo Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 he looks real and creepier looking than in 18, though to be honest, as i said every caw has stood out this year than last year. All of them got taken up a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them got taken up a notch. Yeah they are, really pleased with mine so far in terms of improvement over 2K18. I'm loving the creation process again, finally going to put all that stuff you've given me to work now.
