  1. Very minor suggestion but I'd really like if Martial Assault could get the gut punch animation from Martial Arts Storm Kick as a backup animation for Thunder Kick. As of right now Martial Assault is all kicks and shuriken, it'd be nice to have a punch animation in there for are all around martial artists.
  2. Thank you kindly. I really like how he turned out. Another quick project character Snow-Dragon, an Ice/Martial Dom, trained by the same monks of the four winds that Ice-Mistral was before slaughtering some of their ranks, now out to stop her. Could use some input though, do you guys like the blue mouth or just the all white mask?
  3. RhinOhm, an Elec/Energy armor brute. For some reason I got the idea that lightning rod would be a fun way to simulate a Rhino style character crashing into a mob.
  4. Indeed we did, think we actually talked about Darkness control a bit. Glad you're enjoying the set though, it's one of my favorites and one of the first I latched onto when starting homecoming.
  5. I took the most interesting of 3. First roll was a Necro/Cold MM, second roll an Ice/Ice tank which seemed a little boring for a random challenge, third was paydirt AR/TA Corruptor. Jungle Ace, Son of an eccentric millionaire who took his family on an African expedition only to have their expedition killed by poachers. The boy survived and escaped further into the forest learning to hunt and survive on his own. Years later he'd be found by people looking for the missing millionaire family still and brough back to Paragon. Inheriting his family's estate and pretty much set for life, he grew bored without the struggle for survival and was still trying to get readjusted to the outside world. Seeing the rise of crime in Paragon, the Jungle Ace decided it was time for him to hunt Paragon City's big game, super villains.
  6. Doctor Particle: A scientist kidnapped by Lord Recluse to build a particle accelerator. He waited for a group of heroes to rescue him but as days went by hope dwindled. With no ways out and not wanting Recluse to have something so dangerous he built it with a fatal flaw. Upon completion he threw the switch with Lord Recluse and his inner circle present to watch however a nearby Fortunata picked up on his thoughts and saved Recluse and Co while the scientist was bombarded with particles, seemingly being vaporized. Presumed dead and with his lab abandoned, no one noticed the strange particles gathering in the old lab for months before forming a full person. The scientist had been reborn. He's a human form peacebringer whose powers are colored differently to make it look like he's changing the molecules/particles around him to do different things. Light Form even works as him focusing heavily and turning himself into a mass of particles.
  7. Recoloring SoA powers, underarm wings, a kind of V-chest option ala Brother Voodoo, and the techknight belt style piece that hangs off the back to cover the front as well, so many mystic character designs that I can't quite do.
  8. Hey all, currently struggling with a costume for a Bane Spider. He's an inventor who creates his energy staff that allows him to fly, shoot bolts, bend light around him to turn invisible. I'm a big Jack Knight Starman fan, and wanted this character to be more the golden age style though, going for a Doctor Mid-Nite, and original Starman look but everything I've come up with so far hasn't made me happy. His name Lantern-Keeper based on the light of the staff he carries.
  9. Been on an alting spree lately and it's time for another character dump. Character 1: Dr. Sandman, Time/Seismic who uses the sands of time. Character 2: Living Leech Psi/Energy, Scrapper mutant who feeds off the energy of those around him. Character 3: Ensouled with two costumes, homage to Adam Warlock, Dark/Energy with all powers colored yellow for soul powers. Character 4: Atomic Bunker, FF/Rad defender, the survivor of a nuclear accident, now radioactive, Atomic Bunker is sealed away in his suit to protect those around him, along with force field technology to shield team mates and civilians from his nuclear powers when he's using them.
  10. Hey, just wanted to let you know how much I loved this character design. It inspired me to create my own dead super speedster. A plucky hero named Finish Line, goes up against a villain way above his power level trying to open a portal to Hell. Finish Line's only option, tackle the villain into the portal. They both die but Finish Line is able to escape Hell with his super speed and comes back with new powers as Dead Sprint.
  11. Atlas Park has some skyscrapers that look amazing to live in, especially the one with the arboreum at the top. Second choice, downtown Steel Canyon, Blyde Square area is awesome as well.
  12. Thank you kindly. I don't usually run the uber builds. My favorite toons are the ones where the theme and costume really come together. Watching them in motion in this game just seems to make them fun no matter the power combos.
  13. Got addicted to Marvel Snap, took a break from City of Heroes and for some reason got stuck on an idea of a Thermal/Beam defender that I had to make. Heat-Ray..I originally started with kind of a goofy golden age style costume (think Abestos Lady), came up with his second costume that I fell in love with, then decided to try and do costumes from different eras for the same character. picture one is 90s, with the unneccessary straps and pouches everywhere, picture two, golden age style, picture 3 modern day armor, and 4 classic/80s look.
  14. Been waiting for Illusion Doms and originally planned on making a spooky themed Illusion/Energy but with the Halloween event going on all month I went in the opposite direction. This character had some of the biggest costume/theme changes that I've had for a character and actually stuck with. Started out as Spectrum-Man with a Dr. Light style black and white costume before being renamed to the Prismatic Man and kind of running wild with the colors for his costumes.
  15. I actually hope not. I dusted off an old FF/Elec that I had stalled out with in the 40s. Decided to play him to have some fun with Force Fields before the set gets mangled to something I don't recognize. Had an amazing time pinning mobs to the door Trick or treating, keeping the mobs off the team while we did banners and enjoyed soloing even. Going to miss Force bubble a lot.
  16. I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of these changes at all. I understand people saying that dispersion field is the iconic power of the set, but maneuvering mobs is a hallmark of the set and people using force bubble well is what got me into the set in the first place, after never being interested in it on live. I was excited to see Force Field get some love but after playing with it on beta I'm not playing the set again if it releases with these changes. I almost never took force bolt, so those changes don't bother me as much. I appreciate adding -res to try and give it something. Repulsion Field: Terrible power, radius is too small, knockback is unpredictable. I like the end drain removal but will gladly take it back to have this power reverted to it's previous form. I don't do the high end content that these changes may be for, but it was perfectly serviceable on live. You could pin bosses against walls, stand next to your blaster to protect them, or slot KB/KD and stand in the mobs if your build could handle it. Force Bubble/Dampening Bubble: Hate this change the most. Force Bubble isn't just a troll power, if done correctly it's one of the best mob placement tools in the game. You can trap entire mobs in the corner, move mobs into each other and a bunch of other things. Making it a weird Faraday Cage, doesn't even make it feel like Force Field to me anymore playstyle wise.
  17. It's been a while since I uploaded any pics of any new toons. I took a break for a bit and since coming back I feel like I've made some of my favorite characters/costumes so far. In order we have Manta-Man, a Marine biologist turned hero who uses a hydro-electric suit to bolster his meager power, the ability to continuously exude water from his body. Elec/Water defender Coyote Knight, a Native-American hero chosen by Coyote to be his champion for the people using Coyote's mystic bow and quiver of tricks as a TA/A defender. Gallowmyr, a forgotten knight of the round table placed in a long slumber, reawakened to continue his battle with a warlock. Baneslayer, a DP/Ninja blaster. A member of the Midnight Club, Baneslayer has no magic powers but comes from a long line of monster hunters who use magical weapons such as silver bullets, holy water anointed revolvers, and Excalibur itself to keep evil magics away. Finally, Bat by Night, a biologist bitten by a Crey serum injected bat. The screenshot doesn't do him justice. As a Symphony/Savage dominator, when in motion he looks amazing. His symphony powers are a faint blue meant to represent a mesmerizing sonic/sonar screech. Inspired by Morbius memes, and my love of the schlocky Werewolf by Night comics from the 70s. He was a random idea that took off.
  18. Thank you so much for the Ice control buffs and all the sonic changes. I love those sets even though they're usually the redheaded step children of the game. Thank you guys for all the hard work you've done.
  19. Ice is just as bad for that and yet we still have it for doms.
  20. Turbans, Hoodies, Feathered/Winged arms I.E. Falcon's original costume, animal pelts, "Tech cannon" style pieces. I wanted to make a sonic/sonic blaster that had sound cannons all over his shoulders and two on his wrists but the only thing close was the cyborg shoulder cables.
  21. Thank you so much. Adam is basically an android created in the 50s to help fight the rise of super villains. A.D.A.M. is Android Designed to Assist Mankind. No power source seems to be strong enough to sustain it though so Adam is just kind of buried in a bunker and forgotten. His original creator finds out his son had died while secretly being a super hero. Distraught he steals a strange gem Portal Corps found in another dimension and slaps it into Adam. The old scientist has a heart attack while Adam comes alive and gives him his only mission to protect mankind.
  22. Thank you for the extremely kind words. I know what you mean, when I first turned the shader on a lot of my old costumes just looked flat and ugly. Took a while to find things that popped with the shader.
  23. Power Grid Elec/Elec Defender Martian Mentor Psi/Pain Corruptor Nova-Hawk Traps/Energy Defender Cryo-Clasm Thermal/Ice Defender Masked Hornet Poison/Elec Defender Steel Sumo Kinetic Melee/Invuln Speeding Bullet Kinetic/Dual Pistols Adam Tomorrow Gravity/Energy Dom
  24. I don't take Frostbite on Ice Doms. I feel like enemies running from Arctic Air continually is more mitigation then arctic and holding them in place. Ice controllers, I'll take it for setting up containment solo.
  25. Illusion Control/Psi Assault
