Another thing I find confusing is that both Aurora Borealis and Mother Mayhem have the body of Aurora Scott, yet they look different. The hair color could be explained as dye, but why the heck is Aurora's skin considerably darker than Mother Mayhem? Does standing outside in IP give that much of a tan?
It's probably an optical illusion caused by Aurora Borealis wearing white (light contrast) while Mother Mayhem wears black and purple (dark contrast).

I hope not...Valkyrie is supposed to be tech based (hence her current armour), not the fanatsy/historical look of the Valk pack. Not denying she needs redoing, but it should at least fit the character's backstory...

Valkyrie armor and Tech-based are not mutually exclusive, used properly...



Now just imagine she has her signature spear and chest strap instead of the Ring Strap, and there you have it.

Unfortunately that's not "used properly". It's a horrid mess of conflicting styles that just doesn't work.

As I said in the other thread, the tech pieces look horrible not just for Val, but in general. Unfortunately there isn't anything that really suits Val in the CC. I used the Alpha pieces for my Valk redesign, but I'm not entirely happy with them. What she needs really is an entirely new set for a base underlay, with the Valk armour pieces for accentuation.
