Shocktacular

I think part of the point of a Brute is that you do enough damage that you don't need to cap def &/or res. After all, your enemies can't hurt you if they're dead. That being said... Mids is a great tool!

I came up with something a bit more... feral. I don't know what inspired this, exactly, but I went for a more impish look. To me, it looks like she's a nocturnal being who gets up to all kinds of sinister mischief. I had an alternate version of this with the Talons' bird feet, but I like this better I think. nightpixie1.costume

So do you want a VEAT costume, a regular costume, or both?

I have no idea if this is feasible or not but... would it be possible to add another row of color to the color selection palette? The jump from Dark Blue to Purple seems rather wide to me (especially since it skips over my favorite shades of purple/indigo). It also seems odd to me that we don't have an indigo palette when there is literally a character named "Indigo" in the game... who wears purple??? I was thinking of something like the Row F complimentary color shown here: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Costume_Color_Schemes

Have you tried the one-word versions or the hyphenated versions?

... I don't know if I'm psychologically capable of making a costume that qualifies. Single-color costumes (even with different shades) tend to look really, really boring/ugly to me. I checked through my characters yesterday and I have one that would maybe qualify for this. ... talk about a challenge... 😄

😮 ... whoa! These are amazing! Thanks! 😄

Long skirts, like Nadia in First Ward (and other styles, but it's a place to start).

Those pictures are very tiny...

Oooh!! Me likey! 😄

UltraAlt: This is not a dev thread, it's for players who want help from other players (I know the name is confusing). You should probably post your requests here: Cheers, and Happy New Year!

I've got one. I snagged the name "War Mech" on Indomitable and made an elec/invuln Sentinel. I already have a costume that I like, but I want some variety for her other costume slots, so I thought I'd ask you guys! She has no backstory yet, so a wide variety of interpretations of the name are valid. However, I have three stipulations: 1. Female body type 2. Leave the height slider in the default position (about 5' 8" for females) 3. This is a robot, not a person in a suit That's it! Please go nuts (if you'll pardon the machine pun 😛)!

In spite of having questions, I came up with something anyway, mostly based on the "loop" part. I included a top and belt with angles to mix things up a bit. I used the lace cape to match the mesh parts of the top. I thought about trying some colors, but I like the black and white look, TBH. It's not terribly science-y, but there's no reason she couldn't be science origin, either. loop.costume

Hero, villain, other? Any other details or aspects you want included?

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by "a living shard of Paragon", but I interpreted it as basically a living embodiment of the city and its components. I focused more on the organic elements since he "defends all life", but I have some inorganic elements in there: The left boot is a chunk of road, the right boot is a bit of skyscraper, the belt is some industrial-complex metals, the left shoulder is a heroic shoulder piece (heroes are a big part of the city), and the chest detail is a bandolier (police and civilians are part of the city, too). I did spectrum in blues for the legs for water and the right shoulder and glove for the parks and woods (chest too, somewhat, but mostly for the glow). The face, horns, hair, tail, and wings are for the creatures that live in Paragon City both wild and domesticated. I have no idea if this is anything like what you were after, but I hope it provides some inspiration at least. shardofparagonhuge.costume

Looking for advice, here. I've heard that the /sonic defenders can out-damage sonic/ corruptors due to defenders having better debuffs. Is this true? Also, in terms of survivability, which one is sturdier? Please don't say "just try both". If you absolutely HAD to pick JUST ONE, which would you choose and why?

Which origin did you guys pick for those?

Any thoughts on Dark/Sonic?

You said you'd be up for a gender swap, so I did a female character, since that's what I'm most used to. I tried to get something that's bestial-looking but still definitely human (at least mostly). The face details definitely accomplish this, IMO, but are clearly just a mask. The hairstyle and the fur on the shoulder pieces fit in with the wolf theme, I think, as does the cloth from the belt (I really, really wanted to use a wolf tail, but resisted the urge). The spikes on the knuckles and toes are for "claws". Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. I hope you like it, too! howl.costume

My main concern is that I'd end up wasting my time making something that no one will use. Since the costume creator is capable of astounding variety, I need at least some direction, even if it's just the character's name and origin. A bit of backstory or a description of what kind of look you're going for helps a great deal. I also prefer that you say so if you don't really know what you're looking for. Please don't try to get me to read your mind. It rarely works, and then we both end up disappointed.

I would be okay with this.

😮 😮 😮 ... wait, I actually WON something?! 😮 ... 😄 This made my day! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

... I should know better than to read threads like this (they feed my alt-itis BIG TIME!), but I was curious... ... and now I'm off to roll a dozen more alts. So... thanks. ... I guess.... 😛

How many costume slots do you have? I can e-mail you some Halloween salvage to get another slot opened if you like. 😄 Another option would be to only use some of mine (I gave you FIVE, after all, which is a bit excessive).

Take from these what you will. I had a lot of fun making them, and I hope you like them!
