i've been wanting to make someone new, and to counter all my mystical fellas, i'm looking at making someone more tech-based... this is the first design - opinions welcome;

Honestly looks more mystical based than tech based.

Like the archer staff power from Visionaries.

Have to agree with Cactus, it doesnt look too tech bases too me as far as powers go. Also the costume doesnt look very techy, its not mystical but its not techy either. I would recommended picking up the Cyborg pack and maybe using some of the costume parts from there. Also if Archery is planned I'd recommend something more techy.

i will never pay extra money for items that should be included in issue releases for everyone. we're all super, your ability to pay for extras shouldn't make you more so.

oh, and he's an gold robot archer. isn't that tech-y?

Reminds me of the archer summon.

Good skills as ever, but I think he needs to be slightly ‘robotic’ like to get across the tech’ you’re aiming for. At the moment he looks like a human who’s painted gold.

Also, I’m not sure if the elbow of the right arm is slightly too high. I could be wrong (and the friend who does archery isn’t answering his phone), but I thought it was ‘elbow level with shoulder’ giving a flat arm. (Sorry for being picky. )

(Well done to Cactus for bringing up Visionaries. I have all the videos and I wasn't even a child when the show first came out. I'm just a sad sad man. )
