Trike

+1 for the badge. 🤣

I like big boots, and I can not lie You other heroes can’t deny When a tank stomps in with an itty bitty waist And kicks you in the face Your bell’s rung Wanna act all tough But PCPD has you cuffed

Here are my attempts, going slightly different from Cutter's: https://ibb.co/DQTT4L1 https://ibb.co/n8gDGny https://ibb.co/zSrYFCm https://ibb.co/NLWYmL5 I've never posted costume files before, so I hope this is how you do it: Generator.costume Generator2.costume

I definitely think you achieved your goal, and it’s one of the more subtle designs to get that effect. The first thing I do on 99% of my female characters is to decrease the chest to its lowest and shrink the legs. For most of them I also increase the waist for the same reason you’ve given. Otherwise they look like they’ve had ribs removed.

This is what I was getting at, except not *quite* as cobbled-together looking. Mismatched parts, but more of an effort to make them all look like they go. An amateur’s honest attempt at a cool design.

I think a combination of the Steampunk Armor costume bits combined with the Black Knight ones would give it a suitable homemade, Iron Man v1.0 built-in-a-cave look. Color it brown and gray with red highlights while having it be slightly oversized to emphasize that. Oh, maybe also the Mecha gloves, since they’re square. Different shapes that don’t quite gel also lend to that whole “spare parts welded together in a garage” look. The finished/polished one is easier — just use all the sleek armor parts without seams, straps and rivets, going for nanosuit Iron Man of Endgame. I’ll make a couple when I get home from work later tonight. Probably around 6 hours from now, depending on how talky the meeting is.

+1 for using “munificence”. 😎 I wish I knew how to demoedit.

(And you’ll sing, “The party’s over”) (And you’ll say, “Ow, my head” [I’m hungover])

When the moon hits your eye Like a big pizza pie That’s a Scrapper When the world seems to shine Like you’ve had too much wine It’s a Defender Swords will swing, ting-a-ling-a-ling Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you’ll sing, “Finisce la festa” Bubbles slay, tippy-tippy-tay Tippy-tippy-tay and you’ll say, “Mal di testa”

Oh. My. God. Genius! Please tell me he has a pet named Missile Toad.

That’s a cool concept and those are really terrific reproductions.

I forgot I had this screenshot until I was looking for costume pics just now. It cracks me up. 😆 https://ibb.co/wdLvn8V

I have a request that might be possible -- a Mastermind pet set which uses the various rock shards from the Devouring Earth. I don't know if it's a straight port of the assets or requires more work, but I think it'd be cool. Rubble, Geode Shard, Quartz Shard, Sardonyx Shard and Guardian Shard. They can use various of the new Seismic powers. It would also be fun to have the Nemesis Jaegers as pets, but since there's only the one model, it would require more work to create new pets.

This is the Onyx Lynx, an artistic sculpture come to life. She gets the most compliments of any of my characters, and this is genuinely one of my favorite designs I've come up with. I was reading about rocks and noticed that the prized black and white onyx looks a lot like the Ice option. I combined it with Lynx because of the letter similarity and evoked the lynx goddess to explain why she has mastery over animals. Except they're not real animals, just spirit animals, because I hate the cries of pain they utter when defeated. (This is my 40th year in animal rescue.) So I rationalize the noise as the ectoplasm evaporating temporarily before reforming to resume their attack. Despite the demon thing about onyx (an actual belief some people had), I already had a demon MM and didn't want another, so she's Beast/Dark. Ideally I'd have her control various rock shards like the Devouring Earth to continue with the sculpture theme, but this is the best I can do with what's in the game. If I'd known this Seismic stuff was coming down the pike, I'd'a waited. The tail doesn't match the skin pattern perfectly, but it's surprisingly really close. https://ibb.co/d0Jf3jr https://ibb.co/xM47NkL

Here's one I forgot to show earlier but I quite like. He was created long before I knew of the Seismic powers coming, so he doesn't have those. Fire/Fire Brute. The basic concept is his core temperature rises as it ascends from his feet to his head, to sort of emulate a volcano's structure. So I used very dark red for the boots, slightly lighter for the legs, brighter for the torso, then Spectrum + Fire Aura for his head. I mixed-and-matched the Fire and Ice patterns to get the widening cracks, then for his right glove I used Stone (with a black and gray Blend option to show the cooling), as if it's a solidified bit of a basalt, and Organic for the left to simulate an offshoot lava vent. I was reading about rocks when this idea came to me. I also created another character at the same time. likewise based on rock. She's up next. https://ibb.co/SNmnbdF

This is Holli Day, with her primary costume, then her alternates. https://ibb.co/VJVjx66 https://ibb.co/DCtx9pk https://ibb.co/mRxX0zT And here is Christmastide. I'm not wild about this one, but until I rework it this is it. I'm open to suggestions. https://ibb.co/GkVsPzn

I have different holiday costumes for my character Badger Boy. Here is his Christmas one, next to his regular outfit. https://ibb.co/3p8PK8w https://ibb.co/59nTZKV

Thanks! The thorns bottom is really the only viable option to emulate Rularuu, but I also thought the Ascension belt was a good option, too. I flipped a coin on that. I used the smaller Organic boots to try and disguise his feet. I made him purple with darker purple Ascension aura and whatever those wings are called because they matched the default Power Slide sprint option to also hide his feet. That’s the glow at the bottom of the pics. He looks cool in Hover mode. No worries on copying; I swipe ideas all the time. In fact, last night someone I teamed with said they admired Vaarluuk (“far look”) so much they were going to copy it. I told them to have at it, since I based him on Faathim the Kind. Just more… purple. 😄

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I was actually messing around trying to make a Rularuu-style character tonight. All the shards of him are shirtless, so that's what I did, too. https://ibb.co/jTgxJw9 https://ibb.co/pwqMZDS

I made a new guy just now. I know, I know... I'm aware. Okay, so here's the convoluted brain mix that combined to create this guy: I saw the groovy hippie toons some of you posted a few pages back, reminding me of the one I made back in the day. I thought, "Cool!" and didn't think anything more of it. Over on Goodreads in the Sword & Laser book club (it's terrific, come join us, tell 'em Trike sent you), last month we read Alastair Reynolds' "Aurora Rising", formerly known as "The Prefect." In that novel one of the main locations is the planet Yellowstone, like the park. Yesterday I listened to the Seth Rogen memoir "Yearbook", which has a truly all-star cast of guest voices, but as you might imagine there is a LOT of talk of drugs. Today for no reason while I was cooking dinner the word "Mellowstone" popped into my head. No idea why, because I was listening to the Ron Howard & Clint Howard autobiography "The Boys". (Their dad was a cowboy before becoming an actor, so maybe...?) And we have these new seismic powers. All that mooshed up in my brain to create a Radiation/Seismic Defender, and I saw that the name Mellowstone wasn't taken on Excelsior, so bingo-presto, meet Roberto Blumstein, Jewish Latino hippie: https://ibb.co/TDfXVst He needed a sidekick, so I punned another national park, this time Redwood: https://ibb.co/X7NNjHZ

This is spectacular. It's really hard to make a simple-seeming costume look good without it looking plain or underdone.

So it's not actually a helmet? Interesting.

This is someone else's, but I think it's brilliant. https://ibb.co/H4X0t9g

Last one tonight. (I heard you say "thank god!" all the way over here.) This is totally inspired by my browsing this thread from the beginning, specifically Blastodon by Damoklese. I don't recall which page he was on, but I was immediately taken by him and I wanted to do my own. The joke in the bio is that he's actually an armadillo, not an aardvark, but both guys in that scenario are idiots, so... https://ibb.co/fpNrZnF

This guy is super new. Like, 2-hours-ago new. 😆 I was moving characters around, doing mini missions, and I wondered if we could put chest symbols on spectrum. Turns out the answer is yes. https://ibb.co/9Vmmxvk
