  1. The yellow you used has too much green in it; the movie yellow has more orange in it, more like a school bus.

    The hair definitely has to be Strange, as that's the closest match.

    For the top, without that pattern she has, that's about as close as you're likely to get. I think some other patterns are more evocative of the style than that one, but it's really a matter of taste more than anything. I like Dagger, Savage, Hacker, V, Excess and Pattern 3, in that order.

    Pattern Leather looks closest to the movie costume, Tights Sleek is runner-up. Gloves are Leather Straps, Sleek as second choice.

    The belt needs to be silver.

    For the bottom, I'd use either Full Fishnets or Fishnet, with Thigh High boots but no stripe.

    My take on Silk Spectre II.

    Head: Face 1
    Hair: Strange
    Top: Patent Leather with Dagger
    Gloves: Smooth/Bare, Leather Straps
    Belt: V, 4th gray from right color
    Lower Body: Bottoms with Skin: Fishnets
    Boots: Thigh Highs

    I figure that I would create this thread cause I wanna see what inspires a person to create some of the heroes / villains that they play. I'll go first.

    Baroness Venom => The Baroness

    I've always thought that the Baroness was the most sexiest woman in cartoon history.

    I haven't made any characters that are patterned after specific comic book characters, except for using a general theme that can be said to be similar, the way "Blaster" or "Tank" are basic riffs on powersets.

    I have, however, linked a number of my characters to in-game lore in a variety of ways, because there are so many factions one can play off of. For instance, my Blaster Tommi Gunn's father is a former Family boss who turned state's evidence against them, but the scandal forced Tommi to resign from the FBI. Things like that.

    1) Did one of the male Jackets options get replaced in a recent issue? The reason I ask is, I went to the tailor last night to save a costume on a toon in anticipation of re-rolling the toon with a new powerset, and it reset his upper body from the open military style jacket to tights. It looks like the open military style jacket is still available, but that now it has an inherent camoflauge pattern. Would that have triggered the reset? I don't mind because I have more free tailor tokens than I can shake a stick at, but I was curious what happened there.

    That's a bug. Happens to me all the time. I think it *might* only happen to characters which are older, but I haven't paid close enough attention to say for sure.

    2) If I save a costume for a toon with a certain weapon type - say an Assault Rifle - and I want to use that same costume on a new toon with a different weapon type - say Dual Blades - is it going to give me problems when I try to call up that costume for the second toon? Obviously I'm not expecting the scrapper to get an Assault Rifle, I just don't want to get an "Invalid Costume" error or something.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes, you will get an invalid costume error. That also happens to me all the time, as I try to duplicate one look for a different powerset. It just means you have to do it the old fashioned way of doing a screen cap and referring back to it when making the new toon.
  5. Are you asking for someone to Photoshop the arrows into your characters? Because that's pretty easy to do. If you don't have PS, then I'm sure some free programs can do the same thing.

    While fixing most of the issues I'd had before in Vista, there's a very rare little glitch that does make for an interesting screenshot or three.

    I believe I've found what causes the problem, so I'm not quite looking for technical support - I'd be in the wrong forum if I were! - but I thought the results were interesting enough to share.

  9. Good advice already. Key tricks:
    <ul type="square"> [*]5' to 5'7 [*]Thin build[*]"Youthful" or "Intellectual" head shape [*]Choose a young face[*]Full head of hair[*]Smooth top[*]Narrow hips and shoulders[/list]
    As soon as the smooth chest option went into the game, I made my first teen character. It's perfect for that.

    My kid characters:

    Barbarian Boy - "12"

    Mighty Lad - 16

    Monster Child - 15

    Is it wrong that when I saw this post I very loudly shouted

    "HOLY [censored] [censored]!! NEW SPARKY!! [censored] YA!!"

    That's like...totally normal right?

    I did the exact same thing. Well, I belched it out, just to belch something different than the alphabet. But same concept.
  11. Another excellent issue, Sparks. Even if you did rip off my zombie cowboy idea.
  12. I've had a couple of those recently, too.

    ...hm, that may not have come out the way I wanted it to.

  16. A single attempt to catch Self Destruct mid-blammo was successful, just moments ago.

    Boom-Boom the Panda says, "Boom, baby!"
  17. That last one is really good.
  18. The name Midnight Marvel doesn't evoke Batman for me at all, more his antecedents like The Shadow, The Spirit, The Phantom... pulp era guys like that. So I'd go with trench coat and fedora, something of that ilk.

    The XP and Influence bonuses seem to work intermittently sometimes. I haven't paid close enough attention to see if there's a breakdown of radio missions versus story arcs versus regular missions, but I have noticed it now and again. No idea if it's intended to work for some missions and not others.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This seems to be true of the day jobs that drop salvage as well. Got one for a radio, not for a story-arc (end-of-arc mission) even though I still had plenty of time left.

    I've been told it is a "chance" only for a salvage drop but that seems pretty lame. Considering the limited time available it should be automatic.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That would explain why some of my characters seem to get inundated with Enhancements while others get nothing at all.

    I think the Day Jobs must still be buggy or something. The badge titles are nice, I guess.
  21. Wow, that is terrifically cool. One of the best action shots ever, right up there with Shadowrush's.
  22. Going through my screenshot folder turned up this one:

  23. I really like the colored one.
