Heh.
Soooo, X2 weekend saw this guy all the way to 49.
I never really felt happy with his look. I do like it, just not for this character. It's most likely due to the fact that I have a lot of Power suit guys and they all remind me of each other.
So, I decided to explore another look. I don't often go for tights. Nothing wrong with them, I just enjoy the visual excitement I feel comes from the more complex options. I do that pretty much every time though so I thought, "wth let's try tights".
Goals were still pretty much the same, looking for that asymmetrical look. Having a character that leaks radiation really begs for a snazzy aura too. Often I think auras take away from a strong costume design though. They cover things up. It's so tempting to want to use every option available. Most of the time if I use an aura at all it's pretty subdued. This time I really wanted to make the aura a major part of the design. You guys know who Sunspot is?
I've always really liked that. It relies very heavily on the aura to make it work though. It's the epitome of a simple design. There's nothing there. In the end I added a tad of color. The fire pattern to represent his primary and a Rad symbol for his secondary. The aura only covers his hands and head to keep that off balance look I like. The glowing eyes are a nice touch as there is no color at all on the head so it concentrates the green in that area, giving a bit of focus to the face. The gloves actually fade from green at the elbow to white at the hands, this is covered by the aura a bit and the end result to my eyes is that the aura seems to grow "hotter" as it extends down his arms. To think, soon I'll be able to throw neon green fire as a radioactive rain pours from the sky! *shudders with antica...(SAY IT!)...PATION!*
I wouldn't be too surprised if this guy gets a new name sometime. I'm not satisfied with Gammaforge really, but his costume is DONE....
We, I'm pretty sure anyway...
Thanks for looking. 
Heh. I spend more time trying to come up with a name that fits and isn't taken. I have no costume talent, so I never get anything as awesome as you.
That's what they need... Beside the Random button, there needs to be an Awesome Button... >.>
