Here she is:
Lady Goldfish

You can see the costume better in these pics:
Lady Goldfish2

The basic idea is that she is a college student/animal rights activist, who is studying to become a marine biologist. She was working her way through school with various part-time jobs including a pet store clerk. One day, there was a accident near the store involving some chemical waste. You can guess the rest.

She is a FF/Sonic defender. I imagine her battle cry involves "flushing" the bad guys.

Clever use of the force bubble! Who needs to breathe when you take your atmosphere with you?

Ok, I decided to try my hand to see what I could pull off. No name, as I don't have a concept to fit with her, but I was trying to see how close I could approximate a fish.

Fishy!

I got to the point of "you know, if you squint really hard, then maybe a little bit".

I had this same problem trying to come up with a "creature from the black lagoon" style of villain. I ended up with something that was really only creaturish if you used your imagination. *heh*

What the heck - 'Lectric Eel and his little pal Moray!

Well, it seem I couldn't make anything I actually liked. Here they are--just so you know I did them--but I'm out of this one.

I really like Lumerian, that's a nice design.

Here goes nothing. My entry, Pacific Storm. A mean little Crey experiment at the beginning of a journey to meet her idol, Capt. Mako.

Okay, that one wins!

The /em camera emote pulls out an old-fashioned flash-bulb camera. You should get a pose of him flexing on the beach for a photo-shoot. You just need a helper to be the photographer.

I'm curious what elements you used for Ms. Storm's face. Take away the horns and the mohawk and paste it onto a huge frame and that's a pretty good approximation of what I was hoping to accomplish for the "Creature" look.

Her ears are the Demon selection, and the face is Viper with the Gills mask over it in a slightly lighter color.

I had another aquatic idea:

The Bather

Love it!

Well, it's been over a week for part two, so I thought I'd gather up the entries myself, if Chisoku or anyone else wants to judge this round (Slick seems pretty active in this thread ) And, I'll throw in my suggestion for round 3 to get a change of pace going.

Round 2
Aquatic

Memphis_Bill:
Coral Crusader
(My personal favorite here, but I always love the bio costume set)

ArticPathos :
Lady Goldfish (Alt pic)

Hectic:
Emperess Tide

Bubbawheat:
Fishy!

SlickRiptide:
'Lectric Eel

ddgryphon:
Three pics, and the Bather
(My personal #2 and #3 here, with the bather and Lumerian respectively. Who doesn't love old timey swimsuits, and Lumerian is simple, but effective)

PeteyCat:
Pacific Storm

Next up, round 3:
Poisonous

Have fun!

Ack, I killed it

You could always make an entry instead of voting.

Was poisonous just a bad choice?


 

Posted

Ha ha ha! No. My judging anything around here is a bad idea for the time being.

You gathered 'em up. You judge 'em.

For some reason, this thread didn't show up as updated for me until just now.

Give it a couple of days. It's hard to take an abstract concept and embody it in a costume, unless you've just deliberately made it easy by choosing Patriotism or something.

ok, so poisonous huh. . . ok here is my go at it Poisoned EnnVee

Lady Hesperus

L. Hesperus is a species of Black Widow spider. The female Black Widow will sometimes eat the male once they've mated. Only the original Lord Hesperus left a grave behind. No-one knows what happened to the other eleven husbands' bodies...
