So, until recently, I didn't realize that there are people who enjoy making costumes for other people. It's very cool to have found this out.

Like the rest of you, I love the Cosutme Creator, but I just don't quite seem to have the knack for making good costumes with it. I tend to end up repeating myself. Like, I always end up using the Justice Plates shoulder piece when I put a Trench Coat on a character. And I almost always only use just two colors. This is probably the best I've done, using more than two colors.

I have two accounts. Both have the Default and Good vs. Evil costume parts. Neither one has the Wedding Pack, Cyborg Booster, or Valkyrie Mac Pack. My Main account has all the costume pieces up to and including the 33 Month Vet Reward, and my Alt account has all the costume pieces up to and including the 15 Month Vet Reward.

So, if anyone wants to make some costumes, almost all of my characters that could use some updated duds. I'm giving carte blanche, so have a blast!

Wow. OK, now that the Wall O' Text is outta the way, here's my list!

<ul type="square">[*]Flarestar - Fiery Aura/Fiery Melee Tanker (Male)[*]Thunder Shokk - Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation "Blapper" Blaster (Female)[*]Starwind - Illusion Control/Kinetics Controller (Female)[*]Nytefall - Dark Melee/Regeneration Scrapper (Male)[*]Krystal Storm - Gravity Control/Storm Summoning Controller (Female)[*]Neolith - Stone Armor/Energy Melee Tanker (Male)[*]Moonsting - Empathy/Archery Defender (Female)[*]Zolara - Dual Blades/Willpower Scrapper (Female)[*]Onyx Soul - Warshade (Female)[*]Linear Accelerator - Electrical Melee/Willpower Scrapper (Male)[*]Selina Nightwolf - Dark Melee/Fiery Aura Brute (Female)[*]Puncture Wound - Spines/Energy Aura Stalker (Male)[*]Gaeus - Stone Melee/Stone Armor Brute (Male)[*]Tocix Lad - Plant Control/Thorny Assault Dominator (Male)[*]Shokkwave - Electrical Melee/Electrical Armor Brute (Male)[*]Energy Drain - Energy Melee/Willpower Brute (Female)[*]Darkrage - Dark Melee/Willpower Brute (Male)[/list]
[u]Alt Account[u]
<ul type="square">[*]Arell - Claws/Super Reflexes Scrapper (Female)[*]Kheldarn - Broadsword/Willpower Scrapper (Male): The only thing I ask is that he uses the ponytail for the hair, and that it's a dark brown, since this is me, if I were a super hero.[*]Icengaard - Ice Control/Forcefields Controller (Male)[*]Kyanos - Peacebringer (Male): The backstory for Kyanos has him being an unknown human that was injured in the latest Rikti Invasion. A suit of power armor was built for him, as it was the only way to keep him alive. Onyx Soul (my Warshade) found a Kheldian willing to meld with this person. The Human host has no memories of anything prior to waking up in his armor, and bonded with the Kheldian. I gave him the Tech Wings and Rocket Boots.[*]Nightshock - Dark Miasma/Electrical Blast Defender (Male)[*]Flameboost - Fire Controll/Kinetics Controller (Female)[*]Grandfather Nature - Plant Control/Thermal Radiation Controller (Male): I just used the defualt Plant costume set on a Huge model. Woah. So creative. [*]Andine - Arachnos Wolf Spider (Female): She has her 2nd Costume Slot, so I need a non-SoA Costume for her.[*]Icefang - Cold Domination/Ice Blast Defender (Male): Icefang is an older man, probably in his 60s. I haven't exactly decided yet...[*]Cherry Bloom - Super Strength/Willpower Brute (Female)[*]Grand Cross - Fire Blast/Ice Manipulation Blaster (Female)[*]Virial - Thugs/Poison Mastermind (Female)[*]Darksurge - Dark Melee/Electrical Armor Brute (Male)[*]Zarquin - Dual Blades/Willpower Brute (Male)[*]Geofury - Stone Melee/Willpower Brute (Male)[*]Powerbase - Energy Melee/Super Reflexes Stalker (Male): I made this character partly for fun. He uses the Huge model, and I wanted Energy Melee so that his hands would glow. Basically, he's The World's Most Obvious Assassin, and because of that, nobody expects him to actually be one. He's taken advantage of that to actually become a pretty darned good assassin. [/list]

WoW! That's a hell of a list Kheldarn! I'll see what flows. Insperation is a cruel mistress - she comes and goes whenever the hell she feels like it and she always leaves the door open.

Besides...how can I not take a shot at my namesake

Hehe! I figured, "Why not just post the (almost) entire list, and see what happens?", instead of continuing to forget to post any of them. Plus, variety is said to be the spice of life, so plenty of choices.

If nothing happens, though, that's cool. At least I can say I put it out there.

Well, I've come up with two ideas so far:
For Grand Cross, I simplified the costume from the one you provided while still giving it the futuristic look the original had going. I also reduced the color scheme to three colors: White (For the ice), Red (For the fire), and Gold (because it catches your eye):Grand Cross.

Icefang sounded like an interesting character to try, so here's a new, rather simple look for him: Icefang. Obviously, the white and light blue are there to work with his ice attacks, but I added some black to it because lighter colors tend to look best when next to dark colors (Also because the neck cover looks silly with lighter colors because of how it blends in with the skin...God I hate that). I tried to give him tattered and baggy clothing as it tends to show the characters age better than form-fitting spandex. I can't say I'm exactly pleased with how it turned out, but it's something, especially considering that futuristic looks are more my specialty.

Wow. Just.... Wow. This thread has gotten more than I actually expected. I fully expected it to fall flat on its face...

Lesse, here...

Cherry Bloom - It's funny. I used the Thorn pattern on her costume, and so did you!

Flameboost - Very sweet! And you used a dusky skin for her, just like I did... Hmm... It makes me think you found my little corner of the intarnetwebs where I have images of my characters... &gt;_&gt; &lt;_&lt;

Grand Cross - I like that. I also like how the scars would give a reason for her to start off wearing her helmet, then later, when she gains more confidence in herself, she's not afraid to remove it.

Moonsting - Nice. Generally, I find I don't like the Sinister pattern, but I guess I just never found a way to use it and make it look good.

Onyx Soul - Oh yeah! I'm not sure what part is giving the Error, but that's OK. I think that will make a nice, "coming to grips with being bonded with a Kheldian" costume.

More great costumes! I love 'em! I love 'em all! And now that we can save and load costumes, I can even HAVE them all! Muahahahahahaha!
