Sure why not... I think my other favorite is the PPD: Powered Armor Cops, before I did the Legacy Chain this group was the most challenging. Very difficult to go exoskeleton without leaking into cyborg/robot territory. |

I have a much greater appreciation for the time and energy it goes into making these NPC groups that's for sure. There's a bunch of awesome details that I know, I missed when beating them up. My RO mates really like this group a lot. Although on this batch I noticed too late that I had the blues flipped on the armor padded bottoms. Lighter blue background, darker blue pads.
Oh my gosh, those are EPIC! I'm especially impressed with the job you did on the Hard Suits. I think I'm going to have to "borrow" those helmets. Any chance we can see more, Alt?

Wyvern would be 3rd toughest challenge due to the custom armor pieces and quivers. I created 3 different costume variations, but for the sake of space here's only one with an image of the NPC group.
Talon Agents (Orange), Fang Agents (Gray), Sting Agents (Red/Red), Raptor Agents (Red/Black)

Yes and they didn't work as well to bring out the two tone colors of the boots on the exoskeleton. Enforcer was a bit too robotic, and doesn't have the nice reflective surface so I chose to use the Cyborg boots instead. I did use many Enforcer pieces when making an alternate Vanguard costume, they worked well for that group. It's tough and I flipped through several choices. But naturally costumes are subjective to taste so at least on these, my RO mates are able to download the costume file and adjust to their liking. |

I saw your PPD SG thread (Good luck!
). I also lead a PPD themed SG, based on the Psi Division, which is probably the very first time I had to create costumes for anyone other than myself. This was a bit before the AE though and I had to look images on paragonwiki. Thank goodness for the AE, I can view all the NPCs very closely. Of course making the PPD Psi Division costumes was fairly simple in comparison to the Armored Corps.

Thanks for the invite, but I probably won't have time to run with a static team. Good luck to your team. Running as the PPD is fun.

So in another fit of sleepless nights I decided to try and tackle task of recreating the Carnival of Shadows costumes. Madness, I know. We all know what the issue is, there are no full length dresses available to Players. Carnival is known for their fancy garb. Well, I think I cracked this particular nut...at least I hope.
I modernized the Master/Illusionist and gave them legs as well as a shorter but still fancy dress.
Master Illusionist
Illusionist
Here's the whole set of Carnies NPC recreated.
Attendants
Harlequin Fencer
Harlequin Juggler
Strongman
Seneschal
Illusionist
Dark Ring Mistress
Master Illusionist
Not bad Dude they are pretty good look alike, try Circle of thorns next.

Definitely liking this thread!
Very nicely done. Always fun to recreate the canon costumes.
GIVE TANKS DARKNESS/ELECTRICAL MASTERY! =3

Here's the zip file of some of my recreations, if folks want to play around and alter a few things. They are tagged as F, M or H to indicated body type. The numbers indicate a variation on the same outfit (1 2 3...).
Carnival of Shadows (Female, Huge body only)
Carnies.zip (21.78K)
Legacy Chain (All body types)
Legacy_Chain.zip (41.3K)
Wyvern (All body types, 2 costume styles)
Wyvern.zip (20.99K)
PPD Powered Armor Cops (All body types)
PPD_Armor.zip (8.42K)
Enjoy!
My character Bluff is a shapeshifter so I've recreated a few NPCs for her to change into, may have to borrow these costume files for some too
Currently she has Ms. Liberty:
Back Alley Brawler:
Blue Steel:
Hero 1:
A random Skull:
And a random Hellion:
I'm aware the color and body shape are slightly off on BAB and color is a little off on Blue Steel... plan on fixing that soon. Hero 1 is as close as possible, I found out the hard way his suit's blue isn't available in the costume editor's color palette.

I love them! I wanted to share my own recreation, hope you don't mind. This is my carnie character Jesteria.
Impressive work, Risko.
Okay, since I won't be the first I guess I'll post my latest here too - here's my take on a Soul Mage:
Gonna be my demon summoner, when I get around to buying GR. And dying for a wizardly skullcap to put on his head. Jay has been notified.
What, no Longbow love? This is my Longbow character who continually gets griefed OVER and OVER by folks who mistake him for an NPC. I love it! He has added another couple costumes by now, which I have to get screenies of, the "Sergeant"(?) costume with white banded boots and gloves and the door guard at the D with helmet and cape.
Hey Cookie Monster, if "C" is for cookie, what is "N" for?

This thread is epic if only for the oo and ah factor. I can't wait to see more.
My 'odd one out' ex-Nemesis Adjutant, Kayla Drake;
Loving some of the designs, the Alpha shoulders would work great for the Legacy Bosses.
However, I do think the 'replica' Hero 1 doesnt...ah....doesnt work? :P

Hero One is pretty specific, but ultimately generic. The lack of several key pieces really prevents us from selling the costume. Most notably the cape with the Jack, his center chest piece and helmet.
Having said that, your Nemesis outfit is crazy. I realllly wish I could get on and get a screenshot of my clockwork (prime), I am very proud of Glitch.
As an aside I REALLY wish I had more robot options. I would die to remake a more accurate Mech Man for my former 5th Column bot.

Also, use of the Boxing boots will get you closer as well. Maybe use a blue from the far right of the palette?

As you know there are NPC (Non Playing Characters) that have special costumes that players don't have access to. So for my RO mates, I've been recreating costumes of some select NPC groups and having a blast doing it.
So far I've re-created costumes for:
Legacy Chain
Longbow
Goldbrickers
Malta
PPD: Awakened
PPD SWAT
PPD: Powered Armor Cops
PPD: Psi Division
Vanguard
Wyvern
I thought I would share one set that I worked hard on.
The Legacy Chain Bosses
I make a costume file for all 3 body types and often different variations for those with and without special costume packs. The one I'm most proud of is Legacy Chain but I'm sharing it really for the, "Hey I made something I think is cool" value but also to see if there are any suggestions for improvement.
Each time I do a recreation I think its the toughest one, but the Chain was really difficult the base costume is rather easy to make but the coming up with a accessories was tough.
