I don't think the Evil/Holy concepts are needed. I love the full burst look, and if he was mine, I would make regular mode be normal clothes except for maybe gold bands on his wrists that disappear when he goes full burst!

All the buckles on the regular look now for arms and feet are a distraction, that take away from the flames details. Those areas should be solid, without the buckles. I'd also make the hair normal or white/white, perhaps change the color of his skin instead to stand out under the black.

I think you have a pretty good eye for costume design, as all 4 are (IMHO) pretty cool. Number 3 is my favorite...

The costume pieces are well done and the colors are nice as well.

The problem I see is that there isn't much variation in the colors that you picked. The Evil and Holy outfits are the big offenders as they are basically the same two colors used over and over. Even though the colors look good together it gets a little monotonous, you know... too much of a good thing. Unless this is really what you're going for (which may fit the Evil outfit well) I would suggest adding a spot of color somewhere else on the costume.

One easy suggestion is to make the hair and skin a different color than the outfit. In real life it's very rare to see someone wearing an outfit that exactly matches their skin and/or hair color so when it occurs it seems a little strange to the brain. Separate the character from the costume with color to make the character look more alive.

Regular - Change the hair color to something that breaks the color "theme" you've got going on. Changing the color of the belt and bandoleer may be helpful as well (maybe a red color if you want to stick to the theme.)

Evil - Black and white, very cliche but can also be effective. Changing the aura color may be enough to give him a real eerie look. On this costume anything that isn't black or white is going to be a focus point so the aura will really stick out if you change the color.

Full-Burst - A quickie fix here is to change the chest detail color. (Maybe dip into the reds.) Looks pretty good though so I can't suggest a lot.

Holy - The red and white looks pretty striking but it's like tartan camouflage. Where does one body part start and end? Again, go for a different skin and hair color to pull the character away from the costume a little; colors that will break the theme. Depending on your desired effect consider changing up the colors on some of the more secondary features, like the little baggy thing that's on the front of kilts, the upper arm area, and the upper leg area. You can keep red and white but maybe darken the colors a bit to make them more distinct... or pick a different color entirely (gold maybe?)


Anyway, like anything else you read on the internet feel free to ignore all that. =)
