Seeking Opinions on Costumes

Hiya, wondered if I could get some opinions and suggestions on costumes I made for my Stalker 'Kumo no Akurei'

This is the first costume I made for her, and I liked it because it in part reminded me of a customized Blood Widow outfit.

I tried to think casual for an Arachnos-lackey from Japan.

This was the best I could come up with to fit the Spider Crab Helmet I got stuck with.

This is based heavily on the screen shots of the shoulder mantle.

This is going to have the Arachnos cape with it, matching colors of course.

Usually when people post multiple pics of costumes I have a hard time finding something nice to say about them, but yours all look really good. They each have a strong design theme to them which you didn't over-clutter. The tried-and-true red and black color scheme is pretty common, but you've used it well.

That said, Kumo3 (Crab Helmet) is my favorite, with Motorcycle Kumo coming in a close second, probably because you veer slightly away from red and black.

Good job!

Yeah, the red and black fits Arachos, though looking at it...maybe I should darken the red spots to near-black. Hmmm...maybe make the last one all white like an Arbiter

I too vote for 3, seen the rest enough...

Probably 2 and 3, for me.

If/when you get some Vanguard costume pieces, you might see how those look - there are some helmet pieces you may be able to add, and the shoulder, glove, boot, etc pieces have a few combinations to look at and try...overlaying them on different tops can make some interesting combos.
