Welcome to my hack gallery!
Feel free to post comments, suggestions, and if you want, requests. Just don't expect every request to go through. I take my time on textures, so I chose selectively in order to release decent hacks that people will (hopefully) like.

News/In Progress and Future Hacks

Stage: Penthouse Construction


(above: preliminary drawing)

I'm currently working on a stage using the stage builder block method. The textures are from scratch, so it'll take some time; however, I haven't run into any technical issues so far. Hopefully things work out.
Before creating the theme of the stage, I created the platforms' layout; I believe this allows a more enjoyable stage. It's a penthouse under construction; it has a balcony and sections of glass roofing, along with a chandelier box (on a pulley) and crane holding up a sort of metal scaffold. It's going to be animated (the box and scaffold move, along with part of the glass roof receding).

Progress:
model vertexing:
far left balcony (out of hexagon)
lamp (stacked capsules, rectangular prism, hexagon)
diagonal railing for scaffold and stairs (hexagon)
semicircle for window (hexagon? capsule?)

textures:
chandelier box: front/back, sides, top
walls
floor
ceiling
elevator and panel
doors
railing
crane (some parts will be 2d)
scaffold
lamp
background balcony/window/curtains
other

Other:
I made a pikachu vertex, turning him into a hamster. However, I have no idea how to export pika's model correctly; nothing seems to happen despite the directions working correctly on other models. If a method comes along that can work, or if anyone wants to take a shot at it, it's possible I'll release it in the future. Please note that the texture is not completed. (I planned to do 4 colors; brown, black, beige, albino w/ red eyes)

OLD:

I don't know if everyone reads all the threads on KC-MM, but I posted somewhere else about a tuxedo Captain Falcon in the works. I'm using a subzero body with the helmetless falcon head, thanks to AfdroMan; subzero doesn't have C Falcon's annoying collar. I'm a bit busy with school and stuff, so I'll let you all know if I'm getting close to finish. It might be like, 10% done? Idk.

I'm running into a few problems with his body still. His body has abs vertexed in his model, which distorts the contours of drawing a tuxedo on him. If someone could vertex a chest for him that is completely smoothed out/ flat along where his stomach is, and between his pecs, then I would really appreciate it.

Here's the mediafire for the model AdfroMan combined for me:

Edit: I may or may not pick this up at the moment. The whole pikachu situation has made me wary of character vertexing for the moment, so whether or not I do this in the future is still undecided.

Ideas
from most likely to least ("your ideas" at the bottom is unintentional  ):

Police Mario v2
a simple vertex revamp, mainly for the hat, along with a touch up on some textures

Cowboy Mario
Mario Party 2

Clone Troopers
Republic Commandos
Stormtroopers
(Star Wars)
C. Falcon/Samus modeltexture
perhaps by using the existing Boba Fett vertex

(Your Idea Here!)

http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=11313

Metaknight's all dressed up, wearing a top hat, white shirt, black suit, and a red bowtie. Thanks to Lensho's Count Bleck base, and Apprentice of Death for making the final model, along with numerous edits and other help. I'm really pleased how it turned out. There are two versions, silver eyes, and normal yellow ones. Hope you enjoy!

http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=7677&Moderated=All

This is my first hack!
DasDonkey team's Mario Mafio inspired me to make this.
He has a blueish-purple police uniform, with black pants and gloves, and numerous details.

That's actually really good for your first hack. Way more detailed than a lot of first textures I've seen.

[DocStrange]

I agree, very nice work, especially for a first-timer.

[toastoftriumph]

Thanks!

[Magikarp]

Jawesome.

[Asuka]

Good to see that people have liked my Mario Mafio a lot, first a PSA, people using the ugly vertex edited model, a guy who took it and just added shades and a scar and now people who were inspired by it... great. 

It's really good, specially being your first one. Keep the good work man.

...This is your fist? FIRST? I call BS. You're either pulling our legs, or are like me and you already had skills in art programs. D<

Seriously though, this is the best "first texture" I've ever seen from someone. I'm very impressed! :3

I'll be looking forward to more stuff from you. ¦3

[Segtendo]

Great detail. Great job for a first

[toastoftriumph]

Ha ha. Thanks Hyper Wave.
My high school has an art program you audition for, and I recently took a photoshop class.
I have a wacom tablet too, which helps a lot.
Thanks though. Not sure really what to do next. lol

@magikarp
I love you.

My word I use all the time is jamazing

[DocStrange]

OK, just so you know, you're download only has the pac, which is useless on it's own. You need the pcs to use it, which we can make ourselves, but only f we know how. You should probably upload the pcs.

[deadname mcredactedface]

I like this! I smell a Machinima coming too.

[toastoftriumph]

k. sorry bout the pcs.

[DocStrange]

No big deal, just letting you know
