Geez, only six so far 
Naz, I think next time you should pick the pallet, folks dont seem to like this one!
Either that or I'm just not as cool as Chisoku.
Ok so i'm not all that creative heh but I liked the colors in the pallet and created a new costume for Niviene (when she gets a new costume slot).
Zoy Bean - lighting in that pic is a little dark so I brightened it up a bit.
Looks nice, Niviene. Welcome to the contest. 
Twooo daaaaays, as of last deadline posting, people. Get'em in! :3
Love it!
.. is that all tux stuff, or just the top (I didnt get the wedding whatsit 
)?
Thanks!
Just the top is from the wedding pack, the pants are the slacks that are available to all.
aha! but you're missing the dark blue!

Oh wth <@_@> I'm back now, so... why not?
I created:
Solarian Vanquisher
Tell me if you need better screenies
*edit*
Yeah, you will; the green is on the trim for the armor, and you can't see it in the screenshot >.< I'll take better ones later today.

I need your updated screenshot ASAP!
Here's the page so far... It's far from being finished. There's quite a bit I need to tweak, but I have to take off to see Iron Man.
The page of soybean entries has been updated.
I have another palette picked out, which I'll try and post tonight. Going to work on critiques for the entries, too. Is 2 weeks too long? Should I shorten the deadline to a week?
I got too busy to post an entry But I'll be on the lookout for this next one. I might swipe your idea and do it for RO Network.
I sort of like the 1-week deadline, only because it gives folks who may not like a pallette choice a shorter time to wait before one they DO like comes along. another relevant question though, is do you want to be judging every week???
edit: ... so, I'm not sure what came over me, but here!:

I apologise for two things: 1 to Retron because I dont have your tux costume options mate; and 2) to Zoybean and Jack Daw because I dont have the one-shoulder cape options either
Edit: thanks RogueSeraphim! I added your pic to the collection
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong.
Lol here's a more fitting picture
P.S. it's hard to tell but the inside of the jacket is the darker blue.
Nice job on the group shot, Seraff. Very cool.
And now for the critique! Sorry it took so long. I ended up cramming on my final project for HTML class. And if you've tried to check the link with Internet Explorer, and can't see anything, I'm trying to figure out why that is. Otherwise, if you use Firefox or Safari - happy viewing.
Gamma Gaia -
Good consistent use of color scheme. Very Golden/Silver Age inspired. Is she an Earth troller?
Jack Daw -
Good mix of colors. It almost looks as if theres a Native American motif (perhaps if he had a different skin color). Still, nice job.
Vipertail
Is that Lock or Dagger on the legs? Well, whichever it is, I like the way it plus the brown color gives a sense of a snake-like pattern. The open-ended sleeves with the short gloves are an interesting choice. Ive never considered it, myself. The green laser sight on the bow ties it all together. The only thing thats not quite working for me is the Enforcer boots. The padded pattern would go towards the snake motif, but it might work better with the dark brown from above. The golden color could then be used as an accent on the main part of the belt. And with the boots being that darker turquoise color, perhaps you could make the gloves match it.
Green Week
This one really works well for me. The dominant use of brown and the lighter tan colors combined with the limited use of the green and blues ties everything together for an environmentally minded hero.
Cromus the Mighty
I am immediately reminded of the old CrossGen comic, Brath and the Braveheart movie (which is probably what you were going for) by this design. Ive never had a reason to use the kilts yet, but you make it work for this Celtic-themed warrior. The medieval gloves look a little out of place. I mightve gone with one of the leathers, but thats me. I doubt I wouldve resisted the temptation to make the warpaint blue. Kudos for not falling into that cliché.
ZoyBean
If the colors were slightly different, Id say her top looks like snake-hide leather. And kudos for using the big socks! Thats another costume piece Id like to work into a character one of these days. Overall, the color scheme works well, although the balance leans heavily in favor of the green. To cure that, I might consider using the capes main color on the gloves and socks. The turquoise/blue colors seem a little out of place perhaps using them on the belt would help. Also, Id consider using the main cape color on the mask.
Retron
Im not sure what sort of theme you had in mind (is he an alien, demon, or even a troll from The Hollows?), but this guy looks like a well-dressed whatever he is. Perhaps hes classy or aristocratic. Anyway, I like the color scheme here well-balanced use of cool colors overlaying neutral/earthy tones. One minor suggestion would be to change the belt to something simpler, more tuxedo-friendly.
And the winners are:
1st Place Green Week
2nd Place Vipertail
Congratulations! You both win a no-prize!
And here's your next palette!
Deadline is Saturday, May 17. Good luck and get creating!
Okay and I was thinking that last palette was impossible. This one has like ZERO contrast =/ Alas. I cannot help but to try this impossible task. Good luck too all on this. This looks all types of difficult to do.
I hope this works well, Meet Iced Latte! Hell is about to be frozen over!

I really love making golden age/minimalist costumes, and I'm staying there on purpose - I'm making a Pallet-based Superteam, see :

I wasn't looking at your collection page when writing my critique. Sorry about that, dd. It looked kinda salmon-ish to me. Were you going for Native American or just something different?
Seraff, looks like you're creating a new All-Star Squadron.
Try it at a time that doesn't include sunset nor night.
