Costume Design Contest!

Hello everybody! I've been having a spot of trouble lately, and need your help! So, with TA's contest thread winding down and stuff, I decided to start up my own little contest! Yay!

The dilemma is this!: I have lots of lovely little characters who I love, and great costumes that I spent a long time getting juuuuust right in order to fit their personalities and give them all unique looks.

My problem is that, for the life of me, I can't figure out what to do for their other costume slots! As their benevolent creator, I just can't bring myself to alter their appearance. So, therefore, I am going to let all you lovely people have at them! Haha!

Guidelines

*You can submit as many costumes as you want, for as many of the characters as you want! Go wild!
*Submissions can be in any visual format. Obviously, just opening the CoX costume creator is the quickest and easiest option, but if you're feeling creative and want to do something else, go ahead.
*Feel free to use costume pieces from any booster and anything that is unlockable. I am so close to buying these boosters, since there a few pieces in each that I am just dying to use, and I most definitely will work on unlocking whatever I can. Also, I have the three month veteran reward, so trenchcoats are okay!
*Try to keep the new costumes true to the original look! If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I won't bite, I swear.

Deadlines
Submissions should be in by 16th of this month, and the winner will be announced in the next few days after that.

Prizes!
Here we come to the part everyone is probably wondering. What do I win? Well, since I'm short on money and already planning on buying the boosters, the prizes I will be giving away are...

FREE ARTZZZ
That's right folks. The winner of this contest and the two runners up will receive a free art of their choosing! Yay!
Link to my deviantart, just so you what kind of things I draw and if you like the style: http://lexi-chan.deviantart.com/

Characters and a picture of them will be detailed in my next post!

Okay, first character for the grinder!


Mutant Ice/Ice Defender
My main on the Protector server, who I don't play very much but who is still a favorite of mine. For reference, her costume style is very conservative and feminine. Striped tights are a must and it's preferable that she have some kind of device on her costume. The idea behind her is that she's a mutant who creates ice using the moisture from her very body, so she must always stay hydrated and carries around vials of water to use in an emergency. I would like to use the fur shoulder wrap from the magic booster on her, but everything else is free for change.


Technology FF/Archery Defender
My main on Virtue, and my favorite of all! Basically, she's an amnesiac cyborg with an artificial arm and eye. Her next costume is, in the RP, going to be a more human android body. Her arm will still be robotic looking in the new body, as she's grown quite attached to it (no pun intended). Really, the only booster piece I know I want to use on her is the awesome HUD from the cyborg pack. Everything else is up for grabs, as long as she still looks cybernetic and whatnot.


Natural MA/Willpower Scrapper
Next up is NCS-Girl, a character who I shamelessly modeled after myself. You know, not to live out any hero fantasies or whatever...*cough* Anyway, the look I was going for with her is an average kid who just decides to be a hero for the heck of it and makes a costume out of clothing from her own closet. So, I want the new costume to reflect that while still maintaining some of her trademarks like the tie and whatnot, and also looking a little more 'heroic.'


Science Machinegun/Healing Defender
Next up, my Editor for the VirtueVerse newsletter. I'm really just unhappy with her costume altogether. I was trying to go for a professional, business look while still having that sexy appeal. It just feels kind of boring and far too monochrome.


Magic Zombie/Pain Mastermind
Last but not least, Dead Naught. Pretty much my only villain. She's an undead schoolgirl, brought back to life after being murdered in a crossfire and slowly rotting away as her villainy counters the holy magic that revived her. Her current outfit is the one that she died in and donned after turning to evil. The bloody handprint on the front is all that remains of her first victim. Pretty much anything goes for her as well, as long as the bloody handprint and undead-ness remains.

Well, that's all! Have fun!

Great! I am in, just give me the concepts.

Powers/Origins
Genders
Veteran level would also be nice.
etc.

Howdy,

I tried my hand at making a costume for Gene-Tech



I tried to make her skin and hair look artificial. Hope you enjoy.

When will the contest end, and when will you no-longer accept submissions?

The Editor. Professional but not too drab, sexy but not over the top.



Alternatively this could work too.

I like to keep my costumes as simple as possible so it doesn't look to busy.. here's to examples

Miss. Saturn




sorry forgot their names

Okay...

I took a stab at a few of them. I don't particularly care for the anime style that your art emulates, so if I am a runner-up or anything, you can save yourself some work, or if you still want to make a prize, I transfer my prize rights to Hericane. If needed, I saved each costume file. Most pieces are pretty recognizable though. The only thing that isn't quite noticeable at first glance is the slight circuitry pattern on Gene-Tech's face, it's a pink/purple that's around the same shade as her skin; it made for a nice subtle effect.

I know that you said that striped tights are a must, but they just didn't look good with the rest of it. The leather straps at least have stripes, just not as busy as full out stripes. As for a device, what I was thinking for this was that the armor pads under the jacket with its weave-type pattern would function as a sort of insulated moisturizing system.

Gene-Tech

For Gene-Tech, I didn't give her a ACCAHUD since I was using my second account to avoid accidentally using any vet reward pieces that you don't have access to and I don't have the cyborg pack on that account, so imagine one on her lol.

Dead Naught

For Dead Naught, you said that the bloody handprint should remain, but with giving her a shirt the handprint would have been rather small so I omitted it. Of the three I took a stab at, I'm least happy with this one, it's not really anything special, but it's something different than what you have that fits the theme.

Ok thought i might try my hand at this.

FrostAgent:
Close up, Full body, Side, Back.

Gene-Tech:
Close up, Full body, Side, Back.

No Common-Sense Girl:
Close up, Full body, Side, Back.

VirtueVerse Editor:
Close up,
Side, Back.

Dead Naught:
Close up, Full body, Side, Back.

So there they are.

Agent Goat - CoX Global @Goat's

After rereading your post on the toons i did some slight adjustments to two of them to better fit what you might be looking.

FrostAgent:
Front with fur wrap. Back with fur wrap.

Dead Naught

Now with hand print.

What do you think?

Erm. I don't think this was a "Show me YOUR costumes" contest, Spine.

So I made these a few days ago. Some borrow more off your ideas, some off of mine. Hope they help provide some inspiration.
