 Here's my first costume for Terminal Velocity, it's a full on nanite armoured version, my understanding being that through his control over the nanites he can moderate how armoured he appears to be. I'm just working on the second costume that will hopefully show a different facet of this character.  |
Last day bumpage.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
Trying to keep it more in line with a tweaked costume as opposed to a complete overhaul. I think it's a cool costume to begin with.
Winners have been chosen, may not have been posted, but entries are closed.
Edit: I will edit the winning costumes as I like.

Kinda funny, I looked over my toons and got some inspiration for a costume, right after the contest ended... 
Well, atleast I have my level 40 slot now.

Oh, that was totally gonna be my next submission! But no, that actually looks pretty sweet. I was trying to find a way to make the praetoria police gloves work, but I gave up on it. Those look good, especially since that little blue-circle in the palms match well with the lightning.

Thanks! Basically just mixed two of my toons together and this was the result. |

I was going for a slightly more armored version. The two costumes that won were almost completely different.

I think the confusion comes from the phrase about it being a Praetorian version of Terminal Velocity. I probably should have just left that part out.
TV, correct me if I'm wrong, but the character that was up for a makeover is named Kinetic Barrage, who is a Praetorian version of your namesake, Terminal Velocity (like Tyrant is a Praetorian version of Statesman). The idea was to create a new costume for Kinetic Barrage, not a Praetorian version.
I wanted to show off the sketch prizes thus far to 1) show just how good Naz is and 2) maybe get even more people involved with the contests.
Here is my namesake, Goblin Queen:

Here's my entry for Baron Blitzkreig!
Claiming the Isles (The Nemesis Strike Force), Arc 448371 - Rogueish action from the Prussian Prince of Automatons himself!
Okay I know I commented here yesterday but it has disappeared!
Great arts Naz! I am super jealous of the winners now! I still have my bust sketch you did of Bully the Clown on my desktop at home!
A slightly different take... more linear, more modern...
Here's my redesign for Baron Blitzkreig. I was adamant i didn't want to use the full helmet and think i went through just about combination of hat/helm/face pieces until i came up with this fairly simple headgear. I've tried to maintain the era of the costume too, although this is supposed to be an update, he's still very much a golden age character. Hope you like, cheers H.
Keep 'em coming!

Posting this design for my husband, he's at work so he asked me to post
Pretty much stuck to the original design, 'cause I thought it was good enough. Just changed the color patterns a bit to be more to my liking (yellow as most of the costume didn't strike me as manly) and.. tada. I think it looks pretty good. I'm particularly fond of the helmet, 'cause I had to toy with the scales a bit to make it look like a more natural fit, rather than a big ol' pot he was wearing on his face.
Envee I really am digging that costume! I wish they would make that face detail glow a bit from the eyes without using eye beams.

EnnVee, who's your hubby (so I have appropriate info when writing up the results)? Will you also be joining us? I seem to remember you being a semi-regular with the color palette contests.

I bought the GR pack last week and completely forgot I can add auras. DOH! I'll check that out! Thanks Henri!

And the second is more of a silvery-aged version. I liked the simplicity in the original costume, so I basically attempted to keep this one simplistic as well.
Here we have the profile shot:
And then an action shot similar to the first one, of him overlooking the city.
Personally, I preferred the second costume, despite it being chromatically challenged.
