I think that looks excellent
Volt Sentinel Reference
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but lightning does the work.
Yeah, I liked it too, but it just does't quite feel good enough to me. I've seen some amazing costumes around (I lurk a lot 
) and I always want to see more. This time, I just happen to want to see it applied to my costume idea, as I really feel like I'm in a rut (re: my boring blend of 2 colors for my other 4 costumes).
The other thing is I was maybe hoping to pull off a "futuristic/hi-tech/cyber" look withought having to go with a full out armor costume like I've done. But I've realized I'm nowhere near as creative in the costume editor to take full advantage of its options. Thats why I came looking for some help.
But glad you like that rough idea
It is a good costume yes. The problem? It's blue and white. Again.
A good 75% of his costumes [across all characters] are blue in some manner. Our dishes are blue. The shower curtain and bathroom rugs are blue. [The "accent wall" is a nice shade of dark red, but it was that or an ugly brown color.] Hell, even a nice chunk of his real clothes are blueish.
Anything but blue.
What's wrong with blue? /:l

Nothing. It's just a lot of blue.
Nothin' wrong with change, either.
I cannot tell what face you are using but Here's something for your consideration. It almost looks like the suit is powered to me. I removed the chin armor in far right shot for optional look.

Interesting. I like how you've got the colors blending into one another. Not sure I like the eye plugs, but its definetely an interesting piece. Thanks for giving me stuff to think about Starwind.
Face 13 is the one I'm using, for anyone else that wants to take a stab at a costume
Ok, came up with another concept
Variant 2
Again, very blue based, and, as has been noted, I use a lot of blue. Nothing wrong with it, just that its in the majority of my character's outfits. I was thinking maybe going green/gold/white or green/gold/black, or some combination therein. Of course, I'm open to any color combo, I had just thought of green after fiddling with this last costume.
But, maybe I should wait. Apparently there is a very hardsuit-esque set coming to the training room in the next patch. That might give me some more ideas. But please, feel free to post any ideas you may have, the more ideas I get, the more unique my costume can be. And it'll help me with my Costume Editor skills for new alts
Maybe I'll try to come up with something for you
Hi all-
I'm looking for some help on what will be my 5th slot for my Katana/SR scrapper, TruEdge. He is of magic origin, as the blade he wields endows him with his warrior prowess. Short backstory, he was an exchange student to Japan, and was living at a shrine. At the shrine was a blade, used by the priestess of the village about a thousand years ago to defend her village from demons. She succeeded, but at the cost of her life, and due to her sacrifice the gods contained her essence of duty and honor into the blade. Destiny (being a spiritual entity) decides that Tru is worthy of wielding the blade to battle back the forces of darkness, and "coerces" him to take it from its pedestal for inspection.
What I'm looking for is a "cyber" suit, if you will. Something tech based, to go with the Talsorian Katana when I can get enough merits to afford it. I have a rough idea what I'd like to do, but that doesn't really signify what I want. So I turn to you, oh good people of the art forum. Help me come up with something good, maybe a decent 3 color combo and rather tech-ish. Use whatever you want, be it Vanguard (I'll get the merits) and up to the 30 month vet rewards. For other reference shots, please see his other 4 costumes located here. Forgive the small size, i'm no expert when it comes to posting photos on the web.
Thanks!
