Freedom Player Summit-Post Apocalyptic WIP

Howdy all,

First off I would like to thank those for your input at the summit for the Post Apocalyptic Costume Pieces.

I am currently working on it and wanted to keep you updated on what I have thus far. There is no concept as the pieces are pretty much already made so Google was my concept artist ^_^. With the Post Apocalyptic pack, we’re going to try something new in the Paragon Market: A “Themed Parts Pack.” What does this mean? Well, rather than making a unified, “complete” costume set we are making a set of various costume pieces around the Post Apocalyptic theme. I think you’ll like the results as it has the potential to offer much more flexibility than a soup to nuts costume.

Here's what has been decided:

  • Cornrows
  • Nail Mohawk
  • Hockey Mask
  • Tire Shoulder Pads (6 options, spikes or plain) non symmetrical options
  • Football Shoulder Pads (6 options, double or single) non symmetrical options
  • Catcher's chest guard
  • Utility belt (2 options, with back bag or w/out)
  • Pants/Jeans w/kneepads
  • Tire Gloves (4 options)
  • Facial Patterns (Not sure how many yet)
  • Various Biohazard/Bar Code/Radioactive tattoo motifs
  • Backpacks (Golf Bag Quiver, Big Tank, 3 Small Tanks w/hose)
  • Titan Weapon (Longblade Chainsaw, like a logging chainsaw)
  • Stop sign shield (2 options, emblem or nails)
All of the pieces are going to be rather dirty and there will not be any clean versions.

Most of the pieces have been built and are being textured. I will keep you updated with my progress ^_^


Work in Progress

Not to sound ungrateful... but can we please, Please, Please get a regular quiver before we start getting fanciful versions of it?



That aside... This is looking pretty awesome.

Am I the only one who read that and immediately envisioned Noble Savage making a loud happy noise right before sketching a fish tank aquarium (3/4 full and sloshing water) with some terrified fish darting around inside of it on the back of a CoH character silhouette in 12 seconds flat?


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Non-female mask that's... ACTUALLY a mask! O_O

is there a 'clean' version of it or are we stuck with the grimy look?

I saw a large rotating turret with a 12' gun barrel

Damn!

That looks nice! You've pretty much guaranteed a sale here.

When the idea won at the Summit, I was somewhat disappointed, but looking at the great pieces thus far, I'm quite excited for the finished product! I'm all for new costume parts, I value flexibility and I can see some really nice concepts, with mixing in current pieces.I've found a great deal of use for the sci-fi retro parts and I look forward to more of your classy work Dink!

Also, I realllly hope .... and I'm looking at you Zwill >_> , that your garden path has a rosy ending.

This looks very promising, Dink!

If I may make a small request? I'd love for those jeans to have options with and without the kneeplates.

Also the chainsaw titan weapon is wonderful.

This looks good!

Can we plese please please have the Welding mask the Scrapyarders/TUNNEL Connection guys wear? Its very post-Apoc on its own and is already in game.



Rest of the set looks good. Could use a nice big pair of spiky steel towed boots tho.

Also in before "Another Mohawk for men!" rage.

EDIT: Player/Dev communication of this kind is awesome. Not through some third party site not on Twitter or Facebook. THIS is the kind of communication I like in-progress shots, concise description of the objective, and what the reason/background is. More stuff like this please marketing. Less Twitter code BS.

I see the smiley but ... Don't. Just ... don't.

Seeing those pics I have to ask and I know this is a Post Apocalyptic Setting Costume Set, but can we PLEASE get cleaned up versions of the pants?

I could use those style of pants for other concepts, but would rather they not look dirty, like the screenies seem to make them look.

*huh* Yet another where i wasn't opposed to it, but didn't feel especially enthusiastic about it until i saw the actual pieces.

*looks at Dink's screenie*
....

Daaaayummmm, now there are a few pieces i can really use and really like! Y'all just keep making stuff i want when i actually see it, somehow. Very nice!

Gotta agree with Kirsten on needing more chainsaw and rusty weapons as well. Actually, a scrapyard bow would be pretty nice. Rusty leaf springs, bolts, ragged wrapped grip and lots of pulleys... (^_^)

Edit: One caveat is that the only piece that i think is sort of redundant and silly is the nail mohawk.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
