For the dress costume, I mean. I want to swap out of her existing boots/pants combo and use the Thigh-High boots, those look best (at least to me) when paired up with the Witch long gloves, and those are unavailable under sleeved jackets. We already have confirmation that we'll get sleeveless Steampunk jackets at some indeterminate point in the future, though.

Isabella feeds on human emotion, and occasionally on humans. Generally, she feeds on emotions of either love or hatred, as generated by intrigues generated in human form, of which a powerful evil lady can make many. Usually when people see her true form, her hunger is moved on from one about emotions to one about flesh

Incidentally, the story I wrote about her on friends' forums turned out to be so unpleasant I had to scale it down quite a bit. Suffice it to say that AzureSkyCiel has about the right reaction to that "thing." And I couldn't be more satisfied with how that particular villain came out

Here is Doctor Praetorius, who was once a man of SCIENCE! before his studies led him beyond the boundaries of things man was meant to know, where his soul was fused with that of a Warshade



And for his more overt crimefighting escapades, he dons a mask and cape, along with a sightly rougher jacket.




And then there is the Magical Gumshoue known only by the cryptic moniker "Occult .45":



This Girl is currently looking for a good name, as "Countess Quintessence" is one letter too long. Her dear departed father left her in posession of some super-science gloves that allow her to manipulate the elements

Doodled with the steam punk stuff but I havent really been able to tie a concept with this costume.

Here's Uthra Naddijath, one of my other preexisting characters whom I've given a quick costume change...

Not entirely sure if I like all of this - trying to decide what to do with it, but I've always liked her as a character. There's something about her outfit I just am not quite sold on, and I've been trying to work it out. Until then, here's what I've got!

the worlds only elec aura stalker



and this person

I used the pieces to enhance a couple of my existing characters. I love the new jacket and face for my troller "Eire Elemental".







I already had this brute "Scrapyard Bot", and the backpack plus falling gear pieces aura just was the perfect finishing touch. Now, if they'd implement across the board asymetrical costumes (like I've done with the arms), I could really do something with him.

I didnt went for the magic cape with collar as its clipping with the sleeves too much for me.

This is Elizabeth (Bathory Erzsebet) in her normal look and as vampire bat. Including bloody claws.

Thanks you! Unfortunately, Isabella doesn't work very well with others, on account of her tendency to eat her associates, be they human, supernatural or mechanical. Either that, or get hurt trying and disappear from history for a few hundred years Trust me, you don't need that creature anywhere near you.

Yes, the sleeves do clip, but the shoulder fur masks much of that. Also, if you make the sleeves the same colour as the cape, they look more like cape ornament than like clipping. I'm still waiting for the sleeveless jacket version, however, so I can use the Witch long gloves.

Thank you, this settles it - I need to use the Thigh High boots for my own Isabella. And possibly the Long skirt as opposed to the Pencil one. Seeing them on your character is all the proof I need.

Half the Court are creatures like that. I think only the Court can handle you. Liz herself is one that likes to eat someone she doesnt like.

That is why i figure were the only sg that would fit her.

Head Detail 2. I kind of wish we had a separate option for collars, and more options to choose from :[

Yes.. we now have collars (neck options) under head details 2, shoulders and chest... It needs to be streamlined to one location.

Collars and necklaces.

I did a slight retouch of Isabella's costume in preparation for the sleeveless jackets fix, but for the moment, this is what she looks like:



This one should be a bit easier to see, as both the gloves and the boots have specular highlights on them from the leather texture. Not much has changed, though. The booths are Thigh-High, the gloves are Smooth Leather and the skirt is now Long instead of Pencil. Oh, and Isabella is slightly more plump

And as long as we're on the subject, here's her new costume that has nothing to do with Steampunk:



I wanted to show a different side to her temptress persona. A more contemporary, less classy side.

Pretty cool Sam, hopefully you can tie it all together with a power and a costume change emote in a macro.

I have a kinetic melee/energy aura brute and I've tied his energy cloak power to two macros. I use dimensional shift (cce 01 dimensioshift$$powexec_name energy cloak) to cut the power on and energy morph (cce 01 energymorph$$powexec_name energy cloak) to cut the power off. Great fun as the macro switches between the two costumes with a little bit of drama

I have sort of a ritual when switching I use EvilLaugh to swap between costumes as I like both the laugh and the flaming costume change. When changing from dress to monster, I'll do a Howl emote immediately thereafter, sort of to signify the change in personality. When switching from monster to dress, I'll do a DustOff emote (the "I wash my hands of the whole thing" one) to signify that the dirty business is done for the moment.

It's kind of complex in terms of keys, but I've developed a habit of keeping the Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+0 keys bound to character-appropriate emotes and the Shift+1 to Shift+0 bound to costume swaps, so it's not THAT complex

Excellent idea. I simply must run it by my friend who was already planning on using the backpack for his Ghostbusters homage.

Well, her name IS "Double-Dealing Diva" (with a taste for thievery - she'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China, tell me where in the world...?)


...Yeah, when I found the name free I couldn't resist, really.

spent a while fiddling around, think I'm content w/ this outfit for my cold/ice def



I assume the bottom piece I'm using is the layerd half skirt, but I seem unable to find the leather bustier, it really doesn't help that these are labeled "classic steampunk/victorian" instead of what the store says what they are...
