It took me a while to come up with an original character I really liked using some of the Steampunk booster. I think I'm finally satisfied.

Allow me to introduce Dawn Valentine,

Nice design.

I took Hercules' post to mean the new pinstripe pattern that comes with the Steampunk pack. That's the one I can't find.

The stripes in the pic you quoted are actually limited to the Steampunk pack, and that's all the ladies get. They don't get the pants that share geometry with the Resistance tucked in pants. And those stripes are only usable on Tights, hopefully they'll expand that and make them usable for at least Tucked In pants...

Hey buddy, I was told that if it wasn't brown, brass and more brown, it's not real steampunk and thus an insult to the genre

Well, find the person who said that and poke 'em in the eye, Steampunk celebrates the era that gave us Mauve, fer cry sake! The Victorians actually used a Riot of colors.

The confusion comes from the whole 'aged, sepia-toned' lens that too many artists have adopted for this sort of time-shifted art. Look at the poor Menders and their mud-colored palette. Check out the movies that portray the time period and you will see all manner of color.

Be Well!

The parts contribute to a pretty functional Commissar for Warhammer 40k fans...

Though it would be far better without the stupid boiled in always black bow tie: If I wasn't hiding it I would have used red rather then black on the cloth parts of the torso piece (often they have a some red cloth peeking out from under the chest armor piece) and would have definitely considered use of the skull bolo to add that extra piece of skull decor that the Warhammer universe thrives on. Not to mention I would have also rather had red trim on the sleeves instead of gold. But in spite of those issues he still came out pretty nifty.

For TANITH!!! The First and Only!!!
(Side note) He should have a Camo cape if it is Commissar Guant because the Taniths gave him one in book two if i recall right.

I was aiming for a more generic commissar. I might try a Gaunt-like build later today (different cape, mantle, jacket, belt, shoulders, and sliders) just to see how it comes off...

Playing around gave me this neat modern-JRPG look.

I may go and make and play that character. WOW!

EDIT: If that's OK of course.

Well, I found need for some Victorian attire, so I decided to go back to the Steampunk pack on Test and see if I can't come up with anything new. Here's Carmilla (temporary name):



That's a Steampunk jacket, chest detail, sleeves, belt and choker. The rest is the Magic Pack High Collar cape (obviously), matte gloves and low stilettos, cargo pants (closest I had to a fabric bottom) and the Disco top, which gets overridden by the fake arms from the Steampunk sleeves. The face is one of the "new ones" and the hair is that bun which I think came with the Wedding pack, but I don't remember.

The idea behind this one is that she's elegant, striking and also a complete evil shapeshifter monster. I'll obviously need a second costume slot for her transformation, but I intend to use her other form to fight. Just doesn't feel right to fight in that dress.

*edit*
And sorry about the dark screenshot, but you try taking a pic of a black costume in the Rogue Isles at night

Something about this outfit makes me think of Carmen Sandiego but in yellow, and without the hat. I like it though; the top is nice and gives me something to put around my char's neck other than a spiked collar. That jacket may become a staple in future character outfits of mine. Moreso if we can get it without sleeves.

Huh. And me with the name "Double-Dealing Diva" among my list of characters. There was even that second version of the game show where they ran out of geography questions and made her a time traveler so they could ask about history isntead...



Right when I was hurting for a fourth costume, too!

Ironik, would it be OK with you if I used your brightened up version of my image for reference in making a costume request? Let me know if you mind and I'll take it out of my post.

Also, you can get rid of the red line around the pictures by going into Snipping Tool -> Options and unchecking the box at the bottom.
Oh man, thanks, that was driving me nuts.

The only thing I like in this booster is the trail aura. I was trying to make it look like blood like sum people already did here. One could make pseudo gore if there was an ability to turn on aura when enemy drops to 25% HP or something lol. This is what it looks like.

Nice costumes.

Gaaah, if only we could use hats with different hair, I could make my ex-Nem adjutant Kayla French style Curaiser outfit using that D=

Very cool
