Nice "M" mod... I wonder how it looks to everyone else?

You mean for his chest logo? How is it a mod?
You can make the same thing using the standard costume creator options.
under Upper Body:
For Chest, Pick Tights, then Tights Smooth, then Emblem Circle for the yellow circular background.
For Chest Detail, pick M and then make both colors the exact same color.

Yep. Not a mod.
I spent quite some time making various chest combos looking for one that worked, then backed into the name when the M+Circle thing looked good. (Plus he's on Virtue, so most names are already taken.)

This is one of the few costumes I've made that really hit on all cylinders and worked from the get-go. The hardest part was coming up with an appropriate name to go with the look.

if you really wanna make a good costume, try working three colors in as your mains instead of the conventional two. if you pull it off you may just find your inspiration in costume creation, worked for me.
this is my ice/cold corr Frosty Mug, i tried using orange, green and white as my main colors and i think it turned out ok. once you get the hang of it youll find using a tri-color scheme to be the bases of a great costume.
kilts help too......
I don't know why this post only said exit in it--I'm confused.
Anyway, Love the Mighty Lad costume--classic and perfect in its classic nature.

The Silver Age was simplistic, with bold colours. At most, you pick two primary colours, with a third for accent. Apply them to something that's mostly tights, with maybe a fancy belt, or a dress or something like that. Even when drawn modernly, there's a lot of simplicity in the designs of that age. For example, Saturn Girl.

You get 2 points for using Tony Harris' art. He and I are best friends. Stay groovy.

Oh.. huh. I rarely use the letter logo details, but i could have sworn the "M" didn't look like that, but i just looked in-game and... yeah. My bad. =o_o=

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
I too have been wanting to make a silver-agey looking character lately. The questions I have for the costume gurus here are:
1) Which top looks better with the flared skirt option (the first choice under skirts) - regular tights or sleek tights? I have been told sleek tights are shinier, but I have a kind of crappy graphics card, so they look virtually identical to me (as do matte and shiney leather boots).
2) Is there any simple silver-ageish pattern (like "Fat Stripe") that can be applied to tops and continued smoothly to skirts? So far I haven't found one; the pattern doesn't line up on the skirt. This one isn't a huge deal because I can use a belt to cover the transition, but I thought I'd run it by you all anyway.
Thanks!

That's a very nice look Ironik. Mighty Lad really shines. It's funny how many tricks there are in the uncommon chest details.

I haven't tried a female Silver Age heroine with a skirt, yet. I'll have to go look.
Edit: Okay, looking at the character creator now....
So far, none of the patterns have lined up. They're all slightly off. It's only the patterns that are significantly different that disguise the not-quite-connection bit. Stripe 1 on the skirt with Pinstripe on top, for instance. But that's not a very Silver Age look.
Heh... found a combo that nearly matches: Radioactive Top with Starshot Bottom. Not the reverse, though, and not Radioactive/Radioactive or Starshot/Starshot. Oh Jayyy, you got some 'splainin' to dooo.
One combo that does look good to me is Top - Pattern 2, Bottom - Sharp. So does T - Peak, B - Sharp. Hmm, also T - Horns, B - Sharp (reverse the colors). In fact, by reversing the colors on the skirt, B - Fade Line actually looks pretty good with almost all the chest patterns that become solid at the waist. Except Fade Line, ironically.
As far as texture/shine, to my eye the Flared Skirt looks best with regular tights. Flared Leather doesn't really match anything in the tops, although Armored Pads comes closest. (But they look silly together.)
Definitely think a belt is required for contiguous patterns.

heh I discovered that starshot top and bottom does indeed not line up. I had to put a belt for it to look ok on my stalker, Wherlwind (her reference shots) Never really understood it, but found that the Peak belt covered it up and looked good anyway, so its good in that case. Sucks for those who don't want to put a belt there though.

With a little experimentation I came up with a combo I liked. I can't remember the top pattern, but I think it was just "Stripe". For the skirt I used "Radioactive" and they lined up nearly perfectly. The oufit still looked better with a belt though, so I added one anyway. I'll take a screenshot and post it tonight if I can.
