Wow, those last two are really good in very different ways.

I tweaked Heritage's main costume and added some alternate looks for her.

Aside from a subtle face coloring with makeup 3, I darkened her robe, added a symbol, and changed her footwear.  Second costume is a color reversal on her robe, different pants with the same color pattern, and different shoes.  The original Chinese sword in my original post remains consistent in all of her outfits.  Costume 3 retains the alternate pants from the previous but returns to red for an alternate style, dressier robe (and loses the headband).

Costume 4 is her "gearing up for battle" outfit in which I FINALLY find a use for one of the Imperial Dynasty belts... combined with a Barbarian chest armor & "shoulder" armor covering the top of the Witch Wing (Tight) gloves.  Back to the sandals footwear, too.   Costume 5 modernizes her look with a modern jacket and sunglasses, but holds on to a more traditional look with her fancy hairstyle and almost the same pants (which are now less baggy).  And finally, costume 6 is a comfortable blend of traditional and modern with her original robe (sans symbol) with blue jeans and sunglasses.

Simple is something that can be pretty difficult to achieve, you did a great job here.  But, what really gets my attention are those pants.  I love them!  Too perfect.

Simple baggy pants in light red with leopard print in gold.  I wanted something fancy that would stand out as fairly unique but still fit that kung fu warrior vibe.

Let's call them her "Dragon Pants" because the leopard spots look like scales.

I didn't even know you could combine those two masks.  What an amazing look!

Running the New Regulators arc in King's Row, I was inspired by the costume of Morana, one of the Skulls bosses, so I redesigned the look of my psy/fire sentinel in a similar vein, while also borrowing on ideas I've seen in this thread of people using the chest detail pieces to look like the clasps of their cloaks. I'm rather pleased with the end result.

I'm insanely jealous of how gorgeous that design is... and I may have to steal it from you.

Totally agree, the hot pink color palette works really well as a highlight to pretty much any costume piece in my opinion.

You would think I don't have costumes of my own that I think rock but keep coming across other costumes that are great.

 

In this case unless you see it dynamically you miss out on what has been done. So its animated GIF time:

Glad you liked it.  The effects are Dark Armor (Stalker: Dark Embrace, Murky Cloud, Obsidian Shield, and then Hide) using Soul Noir with Eyes animations.

LOVE this. Also love the idea of a genderless character.

 

TBH, I’m surprised we can’t change our gender/body type when visiting the costume creator. I’d love to create a trans character as part of a progressive storyline.

You can! Just at special ones. The one in Pocket D allows that.

So good and amazing name, as always!

 

And thank you.  I feel a good name is very important to the whole process.

You can.  You need to use the correct tailor contact to change gender.  On the hero side, I believe they're the ones shown as Cosmetic Surgeon.  Not sure what the villain side calls them.
