    I've started a separate thread with a list of all the costume revisions in this one, since it is getting a bit unwieldy in here. Azuria is definitely in the attempted revisions lead.

    Since this is probably a better place for it anyway, I decided to index the current City Life thread where we have been coming up with updated looks for the existing flattish NPCs. I've also linked to some similar posts in other threads and will add more such links as I find them and time allows. Feel free to note any cool omissions.

    Gregor Richardson doesn't respect magic, he bends it to his will. I figured playfully juggling magic while observed by his trusty familiar (the little red guy in the bottom right) would best represent that. I liked his purple shirt (I carried the purple over to a runes hand aura and to faint magical tattoos on the forearms), but still went with more professional threads, which I think makes him look sort of like a stage magician practicing between acts.



    The Code

    { I just noticed that part of the label for the beard was replaced with a breakfast food by the forum swear filter. So to use this code you'll have to replace "Van_PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE" with something more appropriate }

    While that was my thought it turned out unfortunate when I finally tried it myself. On the other hand, darkening it the darkest blue I liked results wise. Here is an image of that along with an experiment I conducted on my theory of a more solid helmet.

    Looks good. But I'll probably be happy as long as he doesn't use his super-senses to spy on the mother of his illegitimate child at home. Because that was super-creepy.

    That's what I would think to try. Maybe a blue at the midway point between the light and dark blues you are using currently in the rest of the costume? Not sure how that would look without being home to try it myself though: Might end up horrible.

    In other news, according to the latest Dev Chat Highlights the Dev's have "noticed the threads popping up about redesigning Azuria and John St. John-Smythe and they're talking internally about putting action to those suggestions." Go team!

    I'd could see them making her hover as well: Its not a common move on fashion run ways, and would reinforce her name.

Getting rid of the headband rig was a good idea, but I'd almost think a half-helmet might might be a batter place to go, to give the head a little "wearable airplane" bulk and provide the mounting point for sensor / wing details.

    On a seperate note, your Serafina build is awesome.

    How about running on stupidly long stilts of ice extended from the bottom of the your feet?

    Quote:
    Would all of you really want an iceslide before, say, other flying platforms, some kind of mount, etc.?
    Depends. For instance, if Nemesis Ponies are even a possibility I'd say they should trump any sort of fancy ice movement power.

    Caitlin Murray-Davies: Prodigy computer tech and represented currently by a red hat (that we can't use) and a generic dress: Not much inspiration that. I was initially debating going the "Freakshow butchered her during captivity" angle but that didn't appeal to me (I already cyborged up her husband Rick Davies, which is more then enough limb chopping for one family). Instead I came to the conclusion that if she is still around after the fall of Galaxy she might end up just sharing the Atlas DATA offices with her husband, and so I gave her a variant of the general worksuit I ended up experimenting on with him. The goggles are intended to regain the bit of red lost with the hat's removal.



    The original model has unpleasantly yellowish skin I couldn't find a good match for. Not that I'd want to. Anyway, here is the code:

    Potentially it might have had a better reception in a thread more based around redesign (like the other one I've been frequenting). Since this thread was by started Noble more about "How do various costumes make you feel?" the reaction could tend to be more emotional then that in a thread tending towards "What are the best choices to cement this character?" Just my guess.

    As to technical thoughts on KnightErrant's design: I'd say drop the wings (and try to photoshop the existing drapery to see how it would look, maybe photoshop the traditional head on to with its cool feathery bits), replace the sleeves with something less floppy (a bracer tinted white perhaps, to help serve as a wrist mount point for the drapery), maybe try the side slitted skirt rather then the solid side one, and probably lower the chest size by a few notches since the shading on that top already makes things seem bigger then they are. I do like the top selection a lot though, since it sort of evokes the transparency of the existing one while being technically less revealing, and at that color level does look sort of feathery to me.

    An EMT in a city regularly hit by alien bombardment and invaded by zombies better be totally ripped. Anyway, your Paco is great: I did a search for EMT and the first image that came up was a bunch of people dressed exactly like him. Any chance you can get his legs a little shorter and raise his overall height to compensate though (you might have already done this some, I'm not sure without being home)? His torso just seems a bit to short for that leg length.

    Well, Zwillinger posted saying he was going to tell El Topo about this thread a week ago so that hopefully means it has some level of attention. Admittedly it doesn't have the most fetching / descriptive thread title though. Should have been NPC Revision Suggestions or something...

    I like the costume piece choices you made a lot, though I'd prefer her build slider wise to be a bit bulkier. The belt in particular I think really fits well with the character, as I can visualise it as the nanites "base camp" (so to speak).

    Also, seriously, those wings have to go.
    The Enforcer piece with the wierd ear things could be an interesting alternative, though it comes with that crazy chin piece...

    Actually I came to dislike that costume within 5 minutes after I posted it. It seemed a lot nicer to me in the editor, then something just unclicked it my brain. I think it was that I was avoiding the Valk parts to hard just to make a point. Objectively I think what I want is something more a hybrid between the one from OminousVoice and the one I just did. Specifically the following (and I tried the Valk skirt in both builds and it just goes out to far for my preference):



    p.s. Oh what I wouldn't do for Valk boots without the knee globes...

    My vague issue with heavy use of the Valkyrie parts for Valkyrie is they tend towards a high fantasy vibe (appropriately enough). Since her current armor is tech (to go with the whole rebuilt-by-nanites thing) I'd almost rather see something like the following, even if it doesn't look as awesome.

    Personally the Clockwork parts (other then the face) don't start registering to my brain as Praetorian unless there are multiple ones on the same character. That being said they probably are a bit to smooth to match with the Robo-Claw hands, so I switched to Piston and updated the image linked in my earlier post: What do you think?

    For villains the Clockwork King will always be my favorite looking character with his cute wobbly little eyes and big brain floating in the B-movie fishbowl helmet. Drek is pretty striking as well. For the hero set Huntsman has a nice hat and Sister Solaris has awesome... parts.

    In a less Iceman look, I could also see frost characters floating around on a chunk of ice that's giving off a lot mist. Not as "logical" as an ice slide but heroes and physics are archenemies anyway.

    Rebecca Brinell the Science contact from Galaxy: Assuming she doesn't retire or get squashed when her zone is shredded. Since there wasn't a tremendous amount to work with background wise, I decided to keep her fairly close to the original design. After this one I've added a headset (that doesn't interfere with glasses) for standard head detail, picture ID badge for chest detail, and some sort of bio scanner emote to my costume wishlist.

    I actually modeled him specifically off Lord Woot from an old web comic called Elf Only Inn. I guess it just shows that I favor playable nonsense. Back on point I think there need to be even more bizarre rigs but they need to be able to be used by the players via temp powers or wierd specialty archetypes or the like. Imagine how awesome it would be to run around as a Rularuu Watcher, Arachnos Tarantula, or PPD Drone? Sure you couldn't emote right but who needs to wave or drumdance when you are giant floating eye that shoots energy bolts.
