Art request: Hypnoswirl Aura

Posted

I was tweaking my Dom's costume the other day and was looking through the auras and realized I really wished there was an aura available of that swirly effect they often associate with hypnosis. As a full body aura, I think it'd look better being set behind the character, but for more focused emanation points, like hands, eyes, head, and chest, it'd look good in front.

For those that aren't familiar with what I'm talking about, here's a 2D example:

Obviously I'm pretty sure our art folks can do better

Roll a Time Manipulation character, you'll get plenty of swirly effects.

Do keep in mind, though, that there is a subset of the playerbase who has issues with repetitive motions like the one in your request due to conditions like epilepsy or migraines.

... or just finding them really annoying.

I actually happen to be a member of that subset. Part of the key is to make sure you're not letting the image you're viewing dominate you field of view... as an aura, something like this probably won't be taking up somebody's full screen unless they really want it to. Also, as for a repetitive moving pattern, it's really no worse than the stars that circle around you when you have the faction base emote (I forget their names), and frankly, not much different than the Sparkles aura is currently. I get more trouble from the menagerie of power effects stomping all over one another during a big fight than I do from the auras, which are pretty subtle in the grand scheme of things. Anyone significantly more sensitive to these effects than myself is probably struggling quite a bit just to play the game anyway.

In relation to "just roll a Time Manipulation", aside from the fact that it hasn't been released yet, that doesn't really help much with my Mind Control Dominator does it?

A decent request, it would be cool to see in-game. And I agree, as long as it wasn't HUGE and obtrusive, I do not think nearly as many people would have a problem with it.

Have you tried putting a similar post in the "All Things Art" thread?

Sorry, that was just a (bad) joke. I understand and support your desire to have a Swirl Aura available on any character.

Um, if you're a Mind dom, don't you already have a hypnospiral every time you activate Dominate (one of your primary powers)? That's often enough for my controller; do you just want it All The Time?

I kinda want it all the time... in this guys case, I specifically want a pair of them swirling just in front of his glasses And the power effect isn't quite what I'm thinking of anyway. I also have an Illusion Controller who I'd like to put this on, perhaps Right Hand - Combat Only, with some tie dye acid trip colors.
