The amount of detail put into the watch is ridiculous, i love it. 

The fact that it uses an in-universe brand and the arrow from GTA SA it's the icing on the cake, Pedro is god.

Wait 'till you see the Tommy update! Mr Harwood Butcher really looks like the man himself. He makes the previous version above look like a distant cousin who wants to go bowling. Pedro is the man though, I agree!

Made an account just to say how thankful I am for your hard work. This is amazing stuff and I cannot WAIT till you release this mod. Where do you post your mods? Nexusmods? Mixmods? Anyways, again thank you!!

 

Edit:

The fact that your Tommy Vercetti already looks like the art still makes me wonder how GSG messed it up so badly.

I really appreciate that you took the time to do that. Thanks, it means a lot.

Nexus holds some of my mods but mostly for cyberpunk 2077.

My og San Andreas mods were mega upload or dropboxz Google drive etc. and posted here GTA V mods on GTA5mods.

A lot of my stuff is unreleased.

 

To answer your question, I'm thinking of giving mixmods a try this time.

I get what you're saying. It has my own interpretation mixed with the original.. This is the new one, it's almost identical to the original. I don't know... I really like it.. It seems so faithful to the original. 

I got around to reading the whole forum and the progress. I like this one because it's soo faithful to the original. THE DEFINITIVE EDITION OF TOMMY. But after seeing what you have done up to now(the one with the most votes/WIP) It does certainly look like the artwork that I posted above. Is it possible for you to release this version as well?

This one does look good from the 3/4 angle but from the front he looks extra creepy because it is so so accurate. I realised an artists interpretation may be the best way forward (If they reference concept art etc) I think the newest unseen version is the perfect blend between concept art, in-game model and my artistic input. I'd like to see everyone's opinion.

You should add me on discord. I'll have a chat with you n show you some unreleased screens if I have time buddy. I'll message you my username.

 

This invitation goes out to anyone, just message me and ask for it.. but I do get a lot of random requests so please state your name and where I know you from with a link to your profile.

Check the time. I implored him to do this. I made sure the design fit GTA lore, had an easter egg, fit an 80's rolex style and checked the og texture and found the colour and reference that matched the reference I believe they used. Then El Pedrinio delivered massively. He's a crucial asset to this whole project for me. 

 

 

Just wait until you see the trainers. We did the same process as above.

Wait a second. Are you saying that El Pedrinio's Crowex will actually... show the current time? That'd be too good, you know.

[toomanynights]

@almico Oh man, I'm very sorry to be doing this. But I can't unsee it now.

It seems that El Pedrinio's perfect Crowex has got but one flaw...

The SA arrow slighly misses the center of a top mark. It's of course a small thing anyway.

I didn't mean that, although that would be a fine detail if we pulled it off. I meant the time it's self is an easter egg

Manufacturers error haha. It's passable for me. He will likely see your comment but I don't think it's worth making him do extra work for a pixel or two.

Agreed. In any case, the watch will be so small in game that this thing will be impossible to distinguish.

(Although the NPCs will know that Tommy wears fake Crowex )

No... that's not El Pedrinio that's Junior_Djjr. I am friends with him too but not as close. My friend is more of an off the radar kind of guy.. I actually met him on gta forums many years ago and we stayed friends ever since. That was under a different name. 

[toomanynights]

@almico That's quite a tension you've built here, bud! Throwing news like "disregard all previous versions, this one will be LEGENDARY" and then keeping it away from everyone's eyes!

Let us take a peek at Tommy 2.0, the suspense is killing me!

[ValterUdarnik]

I love your model, I really do and it is a million times better thatn the sh*t GSG provided us with.
Still, there are some things missing to give the ultimate Tommy look. I know you feel it aswell.

 

I am certain however that this 90% level is grinding you as it is me and other fans, so I know you'll work improve you reach it.

Thank you

I think Tommy has more tanned skin and hazel eyes.

You don't need to apologize, your health is more important then anything!
Just take care of yourself, the mod can wait a lil longer!

We're not going anywhere, dude. Will wait as long as needed. Go heal that hand, that's what matters now.

- Yes I suspected the eye distance question might have been just an illusion, but I figured I mention it

- Initially I meant the part under his eyebrows, but now that you've mentioned it I was aiming for the part above his eyes

- There might be a misunderstanding here, I was not aiming for the transition between cheek and mouth which in the original was darkened by texture to give an illusion but the outer part (I market it with the red line in the pic)

- So it's not just my perception, I'm relieved

 

-Yeah I noticed also that the jaw was a bit to chunky.

 

I did some maniupulations to the picture, maybe you'll adapt some things if they seem right to you:

 

-on the left you can see the cheek slope I was talking about. Seems to me that the difference results from a more "swollen" above eye part

On the right:

-I made the nose smaller (seems too short now)

-I moved the whole jaw part down since I noticed that gave him more of this "smug" look

-Replaced eyebrows with the ones from the original (I know, texturing is probably coming later)

-Tried to make the eyes look more closed to give him this "grumpy sleepy" look, but still didn't give the desired effect

 

edit: I noticed there is more "skin, bone, meat" between eyes and nose in the original which gives the illusion that the eyes are further apart.

Progress is a little slow as you all know my circumstances with my f'd up hand. I was unsure about putting anything out yet but I decided I'm going to put a little teaser image out before I go to bed.
This is still a WIP, so with that in mind, remember everything is subject to change. Me and El Pedrinio still have things to do. I wont go into specifics but some obvious things are his chain etc.
Ok I present to you, Tommy Spaghetti. I mean Vercetti. 

 

Edit - decided to remove progress pic for now as I need to make a few changes

Well, holy sh*t, i gotta say... i am very impressed, this new interpretation of Tommy is actually incredibly good!

Does this new model look/feel any more like Tommy compared to your previous model though?... I doubt it.
If i were to put this new model next to your previous model, i'd say they are both equally accurate to Tommy's actual appearance, the difference being, is that both models are going for complete polar opposites styles.

Your previous model was going for a more "stylish", exaggerated approach, just like in the actual model from the original game.
While the new one is going for a more detailed, realistic approach, while maintaining that "Smug Criminal" feel that the original artists were going for.

I don't really care if you keep the new approach or go back to the previous model, both look like Tommy and i'm happy with either one.

I feel like people are going to be somewhat divided whether this model is better or not.
But as for me... I love it... I mean, how could i not!... It has "Tommy" written all over his face!
So hell yeah, with all that said, i'm on board with this!
