A Freakshow Costume...

Hello, I've been creating havoc with my Freakshow Brute. I got a few costume that capture the character. Okay, she's a Freakshow bruiser with Aeon Tech powercells in her cybernetics. But, for the longest time I fail to come up with a pleasing Freakshow Tank-style Armor.

So, I'm here to see if anyone has any insights to a design. So, far this is my best attempt: Image 1 / Image 2. Which isn't even close to Freak Tank.

I guess my question is, is it really possible to create a Freakshow Tank using the costume creator? Or something that close, with a scrap-yard power armor design.

I've done other freakshow looks for Dungeon Girl: Here, here, and here. Those costume, are simple, and I think fit well.

Any thoughts or feedback is appreicated.

If I were doing this, the primary thing I'd use is the asymmetric costume pieces. I'd cram as many in there as possible, including the antenna one, the targeting reticle for eye, the robot arm, the various barb wire/chain accessories, etc.

I would also make her a weapon user of some sort, and alternate the weapons in each hand. If she's a Claws Scrapper, for instance, I've make one hand the multi-claw and the other the single blade.

Lower-echelon Freakshow seem to be more colorful than those higher in rank, too. But there are a lot of mohawks on display. Very Road Warrior.

That is funny due to me doing the exact same thing on my freak girl one hand is multiple claw the other is the solo blade.

I would stress the importance of freaky hair. She looks a too calm to be freak.

Also: my freak

Perhaps, but honestly... I'm not a huge fan of many of the freakish hair styles. I realize, Dungeon Girl is never going to sport a mowhawk because of this.

Then... sometimes you have to watch out for the calm ones.

However, I want to thank everyone who's posted and given good advice. I didn't realize that some many people had good freak show costumes. I agree that assymetry is the key to making a freakshow cyborg: that plus barb wires and spikes. Being 40 levels, I really can't make her a claw based character, sadly.

Tweaking around, I think I found a suitable Freak Armor: Here. I was inspired by the t3h S00p4rFr34k! Which fits, being dark melee.

FYI, I only wish I could have the Meatdoctor back packs for a costume.
