help with costume uniqueness

hey everybody, i was wondering if i could get some costume help for my toon Lord Porkluse. he's supposed to be like a pig lord recluse, and i think that except for the coloring i did that pretty well. i want the costume to have some kind of a unique feel to it though, and i was wondering if anyone could lend a hand


if it helps any here's his bio:
After learning that his scientists accidentally gave the Spider-Pig his powers, Lord Recluse began a full-fledged super-pig program. Upon gaining intelligence, Porkluse found that he didn't like being under the control of Lord Recluse. He slowly built up his forces, helped his fellow pigs develop their power. When they were finally ready, he decided to lead a rebellion. The group however needed a leader, a symbol, so he took the name Lord Porkluse. The rebellion wasn't bloody at all, it was actually very crispy. For the first time ever Lord Recluse realized that he would not be able to survive without fire squads, because the pigs fought so hard, and with Arachnos armor to boot, that normal weapons would not cut it. In the end the rebellion was a success, but only about 20 super-pigs made it out. Ever since Lord Porkluse has been preparing to strike at both his enemies, Arachnos, and the dreaded creature who inspired the torturous program in the first place, the Spider-Pig!

Can you explain what you mean by "unique feeling" ?

Do you want him more pig-like? Want a more recluse kind of vibe?

I'm just not sure what you're looking for, or how much you want to change.

If you want to be more pig-esque. Go for Monstrous bottoms option and choose large hooves.

If you have access to it, expeiement with the Valkyrie gloves - the pattern on the back of the hands looks very much like stuby (porcine) cloven hooves. I also agree that the monsterous cloven hooves legs would be worth looking at. Alas, there is no little corckscrew tail option. He'd be unmistakably 'pork' if you could go there .

Here's my stab at it

I didn't take much time on colors or the face, I just had a couple ideas I wanted to try. the gas mask looks a little too big, but I like the valkyrie mask (under Full masks), and the more piglike ears.

Tough choice between the chest detail and chest I chose and the one you had, with the Arachnos symbol.

I'm not sold on the hooves, but maybe they'd look cooler on a bulkier figure.

Nice job there Lemur.

I think I would go with a paler shade of pink... if there is one, and the smaller mask the OP used. Betwixt those two changes I'm nto sure what else one could do. (And the Valk Mask is a great stand-in for Recluse's or States's Masks.)
