New Pack, New Thread: ANIMAL PACK

Electric-Knight · 02-10-2011 04:02 AM

Yep, I was hoping for some Faces as well...

Regardless, here is my first costume. I wanted to see if I could create something non-earth-like, and/or to what extent (while using one of the new cat heads).
The heads are so specific, and while it doesn't deviate far at all from earthen creatures, I do like the creation I ended up with.

Ozzo The Grand

Gotta admit... I do like that ragged wolf tail!

And here is a surprising potential makeover that I did not expect to come from the Animal Pack...

I use the Smoke - Hair Aura for my villain thug Super-Jerk.
The Beastial Rage - Breath aura just may take its place...
Although, while more accurately coming from the mouth... it does not seem quite as obnoxious... So, I am not positive.

And remember kids...
Only Jerks smoke!!
(yep, that's what I said!)

This pack is going to be awesome. My friend and I made a tag team of Wonder Twins meets Beast Boy. He's Omnimorph and I'm his sister, Polymorph. We're going to be turning into birds, lizards, monkies, cats, wolves, etc with his pack and look good doing it!

And here's an actual original costume:

I call her "Cow Girl" for lack of a name and any reasonable level of thought put into her, but I was going for sort of a tribal/barbarian look, which I doubt I succeeded in, but what is the ever. No real concept for the look so far.

Thank you

Though I'm not sure what Minozan means.

I'll definitely be making this one on Live come the animal pack, which means I'll probably have to sacrifice Attack. Which is all the same, since he can't be played anyway. I have NO idea what to make this one, however. Sword/Shield was just for the screenshot. I have a Sword/Shield Scrapper already. Maybe if Brutes ever got Broadsword...

Which broadsword is that then?

Ooh, I have that. My Broadsword/Fire scrapper needs a make-over (not an animal based one, although I may nick the cigar smoke trick for him).

Electric-Knight: Great use of the breath aura!

Samuel_Tow: That is a pretty awesome character there!

Cool pack, way better than the past few, still not going to buy it since I'm not into furries. The beast run is pretty hilarious though.

I don't have my reference pics on this PC, and Google seems determined to not show me any decent ones, but I was shooting for a sort of tribal/native cowgirl sort of in the Tauren style. Upon reflection, Sword/Shield was not a good call for that one.

This is something I want to make a point of. We've gotten a lot of Costume Packs over the years, and in a lot of cases they just have one or two pieces that are better than the equivalents we already had, like a better gas mask, or better rubber gloves. For the most part, I can see a few pieces I want to swap in on my existing characters, and that's about it.

The animal pack is SO much more than this! I literally CANNOT use any of the new pieces on any of my existing characters because the concepts these pieces permit are so new and unprecedented that I honestly just don't have any even attempted. Because I COULDN'T attempt any of them before, for lack of options. In fact, my Cow Girl is a design I started and abandoned because we lacked the pieces and her costume sucked.

More packs like this one, please! More packs that open up more options, instead of adding redundant pieces to old options!

---

Incidentally, is it too late to ask for furry hooves? The ones we have right now can only ever be skin, and that REALLY sucks for bovine characters.

Out of curiousity did you not like looney toons as a child because they were furries too? :P

In fairness Bugs Bunny in drag was pretty scary (and yet oddly alluring).

I've said too much...

I'm actually pretty meh about the beast pack, mainly because the scope of the new pieces doesn't seem that broad. I mean with the Science, Magic and Mutant pack I tend to use an item or two from them in a lot of cossies regardless of Origin. But the Animal pack seems more limited in terms of options. The only thing I could see myself using would be the auras, maybe.

Considering just about the only thing I use from the Valkyrie pack is the boots and the only thing I use from the Martial Arts pack is the Ninja Gaiden helmet plate... That sounds about right for me.

No, because Elmer never caught Bugs.
