All Things Character Art

There are really no other request I could think of than having mask textures match costume textures.

Wow, there are some great ideas here! I will have to go through this thread and make a list of stuff that is feasible. Some of the requests in this thread are not feasible due to technical limitations.

Know what? Looking at the Tsoo pic reminds me... We need better tattoos!

Also symbols should have arm, leg, back, and head options, not just chest.

hologram auras

an aura that is a glowing cylinder around the character, the shape of the star trek transporter glowing aura but looking a bit like the hologram projector in AE.



I want 3 versions
a general glowy sort of look
streams of binary numbers
streams of kanji or other characters

Sure will, was going to do that anyways so everyone will know ^_^

Big supporter of Egyptian, Native American and Aztec costume sets. Yes, please and thank you!

Also would love to see the old Body types from the old character creator given as an option. The one that had the liquid inside with arcs of electricity?



To get costumes like Chemo from DC.

as much as possible from the NPC conversion thread


-------------------


BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME WITH PORTS
costume part ports from female to male and male to female:

-crowns and bracers to males
-other bare legged options to males
-square bare leg option to females

-halloween fish head pieces [fins] to regular head options


----------------


elemental pieces beyond fire/ice/rock like aquatic, ethereal, organic[plant]

monstrous head consolidation
-also, details like horns/antennae ported to monstrous heads, probably not goggles and hats

basic indigenous/tribal pieces

harnesses/belts with packs like the knives of vengeance/talons have.

FEATHERS, feather crested bracers/boots, feathered tights/skin option, BIRD TAIL, feather head crests, new featherd wings with more pointy feathers but still feathery [unlike valkyrie ]

long thick tails. reptilian, feathered, dragon-like or a dino pack. [ill post an image later of my ideas for it ] http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=286048

better, longer, thicker hair. see: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=287890




and you know... frickin quivers. i do not need any sort of animation on them whatsoever just port the dang things already.

thanks
p.s. I LOVE YOU DINK!!!!!!

Just remember that the body is mirrored so whatever is one one side will be on the other ^_^

I had to register just so that I can take part in this awesome topic...

It seems like several people have already been asking for more support for beast characters, and I would also like to put in a vote for this (especially foxes and dragons). I'll also put in a vote for proper robes in the game, or better martial arts costumes.

Now for some of my own ideas:
Multiple tails, for a nine tailed fox. You know it would be awesome.

Ability to spread Auras onto wings or tails, so you can have characters with flaming wings and such.

An aura that creates a few floating orbs above the character. It would be even cooler if you could have them somehow disappear as if they're being expended when the character attacks, but I know that might not be possible.

-----
One additional note... when making beast sets in the future, could you see if you can make the art for the different parts that connect to the chest match up a bit better? I have a dragon character whose wings don't match the scales on his back due to reflectiveness differences, and a grey wolf character who I can't get the coloring of her head to match the fur on her back...

Metallic skin. Similar to the Metallic (Metal? I forget the exact name. The non-witchblade one) costume pieces but without the gawd awful lines.

Also (this is a big one for myself): Tool tips for the colors, describing what color your mouse is hovering over. It would be helpful for those of us who have varying degrees of colorblindness.

- Tights for Valentine's Hellenic Sandals


- Option for Valentine's Victory Laurel male & female hairs without the laurel (or better, add them like base hairs). I think there's a male NPC in praetoria that already use the hair without it.


- Vanguard Backpack, Mace, TW & Staff

- Rularuu TW & Staff
- Celestial Shield, Bow, TW & Staff


- Boots, gloves & belt


- Hairs


- Gloves (without the cuffs) & SASH!!!


- Headcom, gauntlets & shoulders (I presume that the chest detail can't be ported because it needs to be scalable with the chest sliders and it was not designed with that in mind)ed with that in mind)

Would love a scythe for staff, if not more spears.

Also, something about this type of trench coat and/or jacket has an appeal to it.



Arm would also be amazing, but I know custom arms are a pain in the rump for the devs.

First, the pack ideas!

Strong and Pretty: This pack would contain the muscular female details that Samuel_Tow was asking for, or a good replacement. It would also contain items for "pretty" male/huge characters, such as a few types of long hair and a hip sash. Finally, it could contain a frilly shirt/jacket like the Jon Pertwee wore as the 3rd Doctor.

Beast Pack 2: Mythical: It seems like there's enough support for new beast/monster parts to make two packs, so let's start with the mythical stuff. New dragon heads, dragon wings that lack the spots and better match the reflective nature of the reptilian scales. Horse head, with optional spiral horn. A fox head (I've seen more than a few Kitsune running around) and a jackal head would find a fair amount of use as well. Toss in a few arcane/ancient weapons and scaled tail that ends in a snake head, and you're set.

And now, for a few select items that don't fit in with a pack:

Mecha feet for Monster legs: Make them big enough that the large clawed feet can fit in them, and they're big enough for all the monster feet to wear. I would suggest three versions: One normal that you can put patterns on, one with glowing bits, and one with glowing bits and claws.

Top Hat with long hair: It's much easier to make someone creepy with a top hat if you can give them long hair. It can look good on non-creepy characters, too. Something like the Male/Huge long hair would be fine for how the hair should look.

Fur shoulders: We had this at one point, in the CoV Beta. It was taken from us, but I'd really like to see another shot taken at this. Great for barbarians, animal people, or (colored green) any stone people that have sat around for too long and become covered in moss.

Thank you for your time.

I would like to see different types or teleportation effects, like disappearing in a puff of smoke (your choice of smoke color), emerging from a portal (in the ground or thin air), disappearing by turning into a tightly bunched group of birds/bats/leaves/etc that then fly apart and dissipate. I would like to see a jetpack as a costume option instead of a temp power, but I would want it to look different from the ones we have now (the new retro space set accomplishes that I suppose, but that hasn't been rolled out yet). I'd like to see some more wrist band options. That's all I can think of for now.
