Discussion: Conan Costume Creation!

Posted

Those of you who stay up late to catch the nightly talkshows might have seen a recent episode of Conan where the off-the-wall host had a famous animator draw him as a superhero: the "Flaming C." It is a creative design, but it got us thinking: could our players, using the robust character creator in City of Heroes, create a better Conan superhero?

Here is your chance to design a better crime-fighting (or maybe crime-committing?) Conan O'Brien. With all of the costume creation options at your disposal, let's see what you can come up with! And who knows--perhaps the show's writers might stumble upon the contest and feature some designs in a segment!

I might be inspired to do a video for it with whoever comes up with a winning design.

I don't think it's going to be that difficult coming up with something better than the original. Hell. I've seen better looks come out of the random button

Although it was drawn by Bruce Timm, Conan designed it, so "random button" is a pretty accurate descriptor, actually.

The first thought I had when I saw that design was whether or not I could re-create it in CoH. Of course this isn't so much a redesign, but an adaptation:

I'm with CoCo.

sorry for crappy video card and img quality lol. i didnt know we were recreating the actual drawing so I made up my own conan costume, went with the moon emblem and brooch 39 for the cape. oh and i was going through screen shots and saw this. tell me it doesnt look like Planet Express from Futurama.

Thought I would also take a crack at this. Was thrown together with great haste... Have a look see

Now what we really need is the Conan character attacking the Leno character. Gotta' keep up with the times now!

I went a bit more literal with the Flaming C name, as well as a bit more villainous.

So do we just post our submissions here? if so here is mine...

him using his powers...


his battlecry, which i think is typical Conan, I had better ideas, but none that fit into the limited space the battlcry has to fit into...

There is my Conan Hero, cause he obviously is a Hero, and uses Comedy to disarm his foes... too bad comedy is not a powerset, so I went with Sonic Resonance/Sonic Blast...


MARTy is proof positive the DEVs hate us...

Here is my attempt, wanted to do a before and after. I included the "Jeggins" that he wore on the show a few weeks ago.

That would be really difficult, GG. There's no Chin slider big enough.

You have to host it on a website somewhere. I use imageshack, but that is just one of many possibilities.
