Aww, don't say that you lack imagination! You are off to a good start: The theme is dead on, you use complimentary colors, and the patterns are very uniform. I would say you have a very structured mind, not an "unimaginative" one.

I like a lot of the costumes others have suggested here. Just pay attention to what you like in the other pieces, and your own designs will start to feed off their energy. Just be patient, and your creativity will come out of its shell, LoL!

I would design you one tonight, but I'm still busy tonight (I won't be getting much sleep! )

Keep your chin up. There are so many talented and helpful designers who are willing to show you not just examples of, but how to actually make really expressive suits!

G'luck!!!

There are a ton of great (and inspiring) designs lately. I especially like the Egyptian hero. I've never seen coloring done that way.

...Keke, I just made it sound like you "filled your character's lines" with crayons!

Ria is a fire/ice blaster...

Sweetthang made this little cartoon version of Ria. I think he did great capturing her character!

I saw your "first attempt", and it totally did not look like a first attempt. In non-sarcastic Reiko terms, that means you're great!!!

This is Jammo.

Thank you Spazz! I hope this isn't asking too much!

Haha, actually that's permanent!!

I like the new style. Every piece you do is consistently better: The line work, shading, and pose all have this new life to it!

That look suits Terranna perfectly. I think it's MY turn to be jealous, hahaha!

I never knew about the Scoop until this past week. Great, now I'll be even more swamped at work after adding this to my to-do list!

Be sure to check our Index at the top of this section. Plenty of back issues to waste time on!

Haha, totally...

The newspaper layout, recipes and artwork are my favorite parts of them so far!

Wow that's nice, definitely my favorite of Gil's recent work.

Since I seem stuck with blue on blue... some ideas for
Hyperborean Wraith, if you would.

The left and right costmes are current, and keepers. She's an Ice/Psy dom. The blue skin, red hair, and face 10 (have to get the one on the right to use the right face, shouldd be the same face as the middle) are the "must haves."

I'm looking for something... *not blue or black.* I've got a lot of darker, subtle colors on characters as it is. (See the Sketch-a-day thread, last page, with a link to several shots of multiple characters.)

Available - Santa gloves. Vet rewards through the group emblems. Think she has valentines day stuff, and santa boots/gloves. (see the costume on the right.)

As for backstory? I don't have a heck of a lot of one for her. She was a researcher, heading to the arctic. The plane she was on got shot down in the middle of nowhere, the experimental chemicals affecting her and keeping her alive - and priming her to be powered. An Arachnos expiditionary team found her, the mental probing from the Fortunata leading it being the last spark needed to kick her powers in. She inherited some of the Fortunata's powers - stealing her helmet as well to help her focus, initially - and went to find who had tried to kill her.

I kind of went against your not blue policy, but I did keep your face 10 policy, so....

Don't worry if you don't like it. It was a fun costume simply to design!

I wouldn't mind getting a little advice on this costume. It's mostly the boots that I'm not enthused about, but random advise on other details would not be unappreciated. And she'll need a second, third, etc. costume someday anyway.

If the background helps, she's a mutant with powers over ice and cold (corrupter) who delusionally believes herself to be the incarnation/ruler of winter.

Silver_Echo, I really like your original outfit...she already really seems to carry the "I am Winter, hear me roar!" vibe which is really nice! Since the top and bottom already use the stealth pattern, for the boots I would try something a little cohesive, at least texture-wise. I didn't get to experiment with your existing outfit so I don't have anything too specific, sorry!

I did come up with a completely new outfit. It's a modern spin on the winter theme. If it's TOO cool for you, I'll make good use of it instead, haha!

Hi Gaderath. My take isn't as decadent as you'd requested, but I had sooo much fun making this outfit that I had to share! Those who know me shouldn't be surprised that I chose to go the classier (in a very colorful way) route!

back
action!
waiting sucks!

I chose this design because while giving off those carnie vibes, it still looks like she's a little reformed. She's willing to change her old ways yet can't quite seem to get out of her old style. The ears and overall gaudiness help give that totally eccentric pace about her.

Let me know if you're interested and would to know the exact colors or anything specific to the suit!

I hope you enjoy it!!

Congrats on the KILLER piece. That is the best texture-work and dynamic posing I've seen from you yet. Keep it up Jomaro!!!

OK, I want a make-over!

Yeoman Medic comes from an alternate reality, where there are no heroes, only soldiers (the Yeomen) fighting the 5th Column from taking over Great Britain. She was torn from her reality, brought to this one, and developped the powers to heal or hurt (Rad). She was captured by Lord recluse, experimented on, and now her powers have begun to spiral out of control (hence the green skin)

So...some type of containment suit perhaps? Keep in mind I dislike most of the armor options, and I still want her to be as sexxxxxx-ay as all getout.

Badstorm, this is for you. I'm not so content with the bottom down nor is it as sexy as your original outfit, but I tried!

This is Ria, a fire and ice blaster. You get to do a collage on City of Heroes best dressed...lucky you!!

Here's a standard pose.

Night Protector looks really sweet! The purple accents really sets the outfit off in a fun, neon way!

I was thinking of going the costume outside of the superhero costume last year, but I literally was out and about. Anyway, this year it just may happen. Even if it doesn't, let's not put a completely practical outfit to waste, K!

What arrrre I?

That is hot!! I especially like the colors and torso pattern.

Union Jill is nice!! I really like how all the thinning elements combine to make her look really cohesive and sleek!

Personally I don't have any ethnic heroines, but here are a few commissions I've done for others:

Filipino 1
Filipino 2

American - Golden Eagle

Was this ever going to be judged? LoL! Sorry, I haveto know who wins and gets the costume contest crown!

This brings back memories!

Here's a character concept I was trying to make for someone else, but it didn't go through. I'm glad I saved the screenshots!

I REALLY like your idea Quake. Sharp, balanced and oh so heroic! Great work!!

thanks Derek...

Jammo's a martial arts scrapper just FYI.

PM any outfits you have for the character you want to have made over!

Speedy Gonzales!

Just kidding. THANK YOU. I didn't imagine the beige would look so good! I love how they compliment the character's headwings. Thank you for doing both of those for me. I think the outfit goes well with wings, do you concur?
