I got a picture in my head already.
I have creative OCD if I can see it in my head I have to make it whether or not it turns out okay is up to interpratation
I just wish we had collanders, trash can lid shields, towel-textured capes, and baggy longjohns for costume equipment...
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

I would totally dig on having longjohns and towel-capes. That would be hysterical.

I would suggest using the samurai helms as a makeshift colander. There's really nothing else in the game that's going to look at all similar.

You have to be level 20 before any store in Paragon will sell you a towel, but you can buy all the cigars you want.

You said he was a kid with a colander on his head so I went with the idea that his access to costume materials would be pretty much limited to what he could scrounge up. A tee shirt, gym shorts, cape made from a cut up bedsheet, that sort of thing. So here is my take.
Nice job, Clobber... Is that the military helmet you used? I was thinking that may be a good base to start from if/when I got arond to giving this a go...
Yes, it's the old style military helmet. I wish I could put a mesh pattern on it to represent the strainer's holes, but got to work with what they give us.
I am hoping creative costume gurus might take an interest in designing a particular look that I'm having trouble with. I have a design worked out, but I'd rather not show it for now, in the hopes of drawing out fresh and better ideas as to how to get the look. I will show my attempt later in the thread if there's any interest.
The concept is simple; executing it in the costume creator is harder than I expected.
A kid wearing a colander on his head. Yeah, a spaghetti strainer.
He either gets his mental power from the colander, as if it were magic, or thinks he does. The rest of the costume should be relatively "clean" (not crusted with doodads) and if possible, naive or idealistic.
If you can come up with anything that portrays this concept, I will be very happy. This isn't a contest or anything, I'm just soliciting ideas and creativity.
Thanks for taking the time to read, and for anything you care to share.
