Tights!

I apologize if this was asked before, but would it be possible to put patterns on "Tops/Bottoms With Skin" options? I think it would be cool, but I'm not sure if it could actually be done or not.

It'd totally be worth it - if there's one thing a costume creator for a superhero game needs to get right, it's tights - followed by capes and masks

I didn't read all the way through, however, something came to mind.

Everyone remember the "Great Nipple Nerf?" Basically, a few weeks after release, skin colors were nerfed down to the few colors we have right now.

We used to be able to make many different skin colors, but due to tights looking like they were painted on, you could make a female with a skin color the same as her tights color....and she appeared naked.

To top it off, the breasts have pointy cones at each tip, so that it does appear the females were naked.

The color palette for skin was altered so that we couldn't make skin and the tights the same color, thus, no more nudes.

If the tights option is fixed so it doesn't look painted on.....or perhaps some tech is put in place: like you can't choose the same color skin as you do for your clothing....perhaps we could get skin colors back?

For me, there's only a few shades that look ok....besides natural skin, the pale blue and pale purple....some are just too dark for any real details to show through. (Or maybe i'm not creative enough *shrugs*)



Mr. True Shot.

How about more than one pattern? Like Statesmans costume? He has the Stars and the stripe pattern?

And three colors instead of two?

Also, the asymmetry would be nice.

I think the key to improving Tights is to make things simpler, not more complex. When I create a Gold/Silver age character, I think of of simple elements, primary colors, and basic patterns.

I'm not opposed to adding complexity, textures, and accessories -- the more the merrier. But if we're talking about just improving basic Tights (as the thread title reads), then I would like to suggest the following:

1. Consistent naming and matching of Tights options across all body elements. For example, You can select Tights Sleek as Chest, Gloves, Bottoms, and Boots, but not for the head/Mask, so the Mask's texture doesn't match the rest of the outfit. Another example: You can select Tights for Head, Chest, Bottoms, and Boots, but not for Gloves (you have to select Full). Final example: there doesn't seem to be a Tights Smooth for Gloves or Boots, which means my character (especially Male/Huge) have exceptionally muscular forearms and calves, compared to their smooth chest, abdomen, and thighs -- this makes no sense.

2. The ability to put the same symbol/letter chosen as my Chest Detail on my Cape, ala Superman. Superman's big red S diamond is on his chest, and it's a big yellow S diamond on his cape. I want that, too.

3. Simpler shoulder options, such as the abiilty to apply Tights to the Shoulders with different pattern/colors than those of the Chest. Also, simple, small, and/or flat two-tone epaulets, circles, squares, diamons, stars, etc. (similar to the Brooch options, except without needing to also select a Cape).

4. Simpler belt options, such as the ability to apply a simple band of two different colors or patterns, like Flash and/or Spiderman. Patterns could be a single color flat band; a band of circles, squares, or diamonds; a band that matches some of the existing patterns for Chest/Bottoms, like Checkerboard, Camo, Lighting, Fire, etc.; a flat band with a flat "buckle" that can select/match the Chest Detail symbol/letter.

It seems to me that these suggestions could be accomplished with existing tech, and would not require any re-tooling or re-design of fundamental costume elements. Thanks!

I think we need to stop saying "Gold/Silver age" as that kind of created some confusion in the last thread.The Gold Age and Silver age have different design aesthetics and the silver age has more in the way of patterns while the golden age had mroe in the way of "Texture" if you're putting folds and wrinkles and seams, that's golden age, if you're giving us more thematically minded patterns, and things to facilitate that like "Pattern" belts and "Pattern" shoulders, that's Silver.*

If I may go slightly off topic for a second... PWEEEEEEEZE?

Can we get rid of belt loops on pants?

1) They are lower than the belts, so they don't look right. They stick out below the belts like someone put their belt on OVER the belt loops rather than through, and it rode up.

2) Many types of pants aren't even made to be worn with belts, so don't have belt loops in the first place.


I now return you to your regularly scheduled tights discussion.

Have spent a LOT of time in the CC with all the new, really fun costume options! CoL, Celestial (new to me), along with Barbarian and Steampunk have my mind awhirl with ideas! So, first, thank you for the great new stuff. Just looking around, it seems everyone's look has stepped up a notch or two as well - am seeing spectacular, head-turning costumes on a regular basis. What fun! Great job!

That said, have had more frustration at trying to match fairly simple things, too. I know it's been said (even by me), but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add textures to what we have. The textures change the base colors, which is one of the biggest headaches I encounter in the CC. I would far prefer what we have to be usable, than to have new things added, which is saying something, because I adore new stuff.

Seriously, I would PAY (and I'm cheap!) to have the regular, painted on costume parts we already have, in textures/colors that match the rich, glossy bits on Valkyrie and Barbarian (the bra on corset)... the richer fabric texture (and color) of the Wedding Tux/Wedding dress and steampunk items... to have edges on any of the tights/tops with skin... even to have pants (with boots) that match ANY of the above items would be a huge!

Thanks again for listening. And for all the fabulous new stuff, too!

Now that we've seen the new Penny Yin model, we also need seams on the tights like she has - either on the front, back or sides of the arms and legs, and down the sides of the torso.

Having a tights option that goes up literally to the true waist (not hips) would be much appreciated. Maybe a Waist/Bare option too for those who want to be bare "chested" but have tights up to the top of their waist section.

Is there any hope of ever getting a third color option instead of just two? May give us a primary two colors for the tights themselves and a third separate for a pattern... An example would be Statesman has red, white and blue. with a stripe AND stars over his blue tights.
