This isn't my character; he was posted to the "post your best costume designs" thread. But this is the one I thought of when you asked for "regal."

I like both of those! Thanks for the suggestions.
In that second pic. the boots appear to be the "Bone" option, but i can't tell what the gloves are - "Sinister with Plate" or "Bone". Any idea?
I will play around with the concept a little more tonight and post screenshots of what I come up with.
Meanwhile, if anyone else has any more suggestions, lay 'em on me.

Looks like bone to me. Sinister gloves have the spidery addition and are 'wrapped' otherwise.

And please don't outright copy his work. I've seen two outright rip offs of Crown's work on Virtue, where he's from. I know everything is up for grabs by anyone but it's really poor form. Taking some elements from a good costume you see and working it into yours with your own twist is always the way to go, IMHO.

No worries. I may be lacking creativity, but I'm not so unimaginative that I would directly rip someone off. Besides, I decided to go less for "Regal" and more for (hopefully) "Imposing".

Thanks!

Very nice! I like how the lightning seems to glow.

WOW, the color combination really makes him look like that lightning is glowing! Awesome work!

Just a suggestion, if you pick the first grey right beside the black instead ... you will have much more texture in the boots. You could also look into using one of the boots that has a nice thicked sole.
Again ... just suggestions

That sir, does not suck 
. hat guy comming at you from across the zone with bloom effects on should look imposing indeed.
Hrm...You know Mr. Majesty was always a character I really admired. His costume design really lived up to the the name. Very regal looking.
Thanks for all the compliments everyone. I did however end up changing his look a bit. I decided to make him an electric/storm corruptor instead of a necro/storm MM.
- I opted for red eyes instead of white since the electrical effects are red villainside (a pet peeve of mine).
- Since the eyes are red, I made the hair white, and went with "long" instead of "barbarian".
- Since the hair and beard are white, I made the lightning yellow (could have made it red, but that looked awful).
- I also altered the color of the belt to brown and changed the boots to combat boots.

Please give me your opinions of these changes. The one thing I don't like is that the lightning doesn't seem to "glow" as much now, but switching it back to white would be changing the hair color. Maybe black hair and a black beard would work. Either that or I'll just go back to the color combo in version 1. Lemme know, and thanks again!

Why would you have to change the hair color if you change the lightning color?

I didn't have to, I just thought it looked better if the hair and lighting weren't the same color. I decided to go back to the original color scheme though with the exception that I left the belt brown. I also stayed with the hairstyle and boots from the second version.

Has anyone created a character they feel looks regal? Like a modern king, or lord, or some other sort of nobleman? I want to create a villain (mastermind or corruptor) who was once a nobleman and dresses the part, but I'm having trouble putting the right pieces together. I think the main problem is the lack of high collars.
A few things I'm set on - athletic build, supernatural face (probably #13), some sort of longer hair (long or barbarian), full beard. Beyond that though, I'm stumped. I want him to look imposing as well as sort of regal. I don't want to put him in a tux, and I don't picture a nobleman wearing tights, at least not a modern one. The robes we have sort of work, I just wish they weren't all so oriental looking. Oh and I have completely ruled-out that goofy little crown that's available under hats. I do have kilts available though, and I'm not opposed to putting him in a kilt.
Any suggestions or screencaps of similar type tunes would be greatly appreciated!
