I've wished that there was a recurring contest that focused on name rather than palette. As an example, this weeks name is "The Pale Owl".

Hmm. That's an interesting idea...

THIS!

I love the palette contest too! It forces you to think in directions you may not normally go.

What's your overall idea for the toon? The first picture gives me the impression that he's some sort of superhero mercenary, elite officer or something (like someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. and not just because of the shield ). Foxman is the perfect codename for a highly trained operative. Personally I wouldn't make a literal interpretation in-costume of his name unless his back-story or personality demands it (otherwise you're just another player who wants to play a furry. lol ).

The best costume IMO is one that fits in with or describes in one glance that character's history. Develop a history and the costume will follow. You [u]usually[u] (not always) get very unique looks even when you take from a shared costume parts list.

I totally agree with the Dr on this. Some real nice ideas here. My initial reaction was to go ferral, so the characters background is always helpful. I'll try to contribute something!

*EDIT: The Foxman The shield integration was giving me problems, so I just left it out. I've used a couple of variations on this head design before, but the facial hair just works too damn well for a fox not to use it

This sounds kewl! Hope this is right.

Aye! I'm in!

We all seem to be in the same family. I think any of us will only get so close on this one. Here is my attempt -Mesmer Hero. Hope it sparks something for you.

Oathbound - While in the creator- hit your printscreen button. Immediately go to your art program and paste it in as a new image.

When I play I always have my art program open and at the ready for printscreens

Problem being that even a sleeveless trenchcoat blocks you from using the Puffy sleeves (or even the regular Sleeves option for gloves because it's not it's own category of top,and Trenchcoats as a whole block a lot of those options.

They really need to get that split into With and Without sleeves categories. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to use the sleeveless trench and the lil flared sleeve gloves.




I'll go see what i can come up with for the OP and post anything that looks decent.

I'm having the same issues I'm close but not quite there yet. I should have something to post tonight.

Very nice piece!

Nice scheme there!!

OK- This took me a few days. I started with a stone body and tried to work something dark and simple but it wasn't pulling together. It's primarily the Valkyrie set but I gotta say I'm pleased with it, as it doesn't cry out "Valkyrie" to me. I present for your consideration, Obsidian Bloodstone.

He has a kewl profile with the goatee I gave him but it's a bit hard to see here. I was also thinking about loosing the tail for a belt, but I liked it better with the gold accents on the perimeter of the costume. You can always play around with it.

I'll call mine Magic Lion-Knight. I tried the lion tail with it, but the cape effect outweighed the need for the tail IMO.

That is all kinds of cool.

Thank you much!

R_C - Will we see what you decided upon based upon all this amazing insperation?

WoW! That's a hell of a list Kheldarn! I'll see what flows. Insperation is a cruel mistress - she comes and goes whenever the hell she feels like it and she always leaves the door open.

Besides...how can I not take a shot at my namesake

Does he have a name or bio? Any specific colors or direction of theme in mind -Space/Magic/Caveman...etc?

Just got to this...

ToollooT - While black was specified, I thought the pink skin idea was actually a rather original approach for a demon type character. Nicely done!

EnnVee - I will watch your entire video to the end but I needed to jump out quickly to ask you how to get an image in the background of the costume creator like that! Very, very kewl!

I'll see if I come up with anything worthy of consideration.

Is a 3rd accent color OK to play against the blue and white, (ala Superman's yellow)?

And do you have any reference info? Like is he a cosmic character or caveman - you like silver age comic look or more contemporary?

This will help to focus on a direction

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah 3rd colour is ok

more like superman the tights look, with a long cape.

[/ QUOTE ]

Excellent job on the designs good people!! Let's see more

Sticking with Superman as our design platform, I found less is more for my approach. Here is a theme with several variations for your consideration. For some reason I can't escape the red cape with this design, it really brings it all together for me.

Play around with it - I hope something creates a spark for you!

Let us know what you wind up with!

Oooo - Gemstone is a great name for a themed character I'm working on! I will do the name prooud! Thanks!

I just saw this so I wanted to throw in! I'm not creating anything but rather just finding existing characters I have in my stable that fit the bill!

For the Wonderland theme - Here is Jack of Diamonds, (Mind Control/Psionic Assault/Dom):

I'm really looking forward to the new options available in the "Magic" Super Pack II!

Welcome Synapse!! We look forward to your interaction with us!

Welcome Sunstorm! We look forward to your interaction with us!

Ask Agent Ruby: Will I be able to run the Palit Radeon HD 3850 SUPER+ 1GB Video Card running Windows XP and not Vista?

Awesome job! and I love the name too!

Also reminds me of the Brood from Marvel Universe.
