I've tried to use that mask but always reject it because it looks so much like it's own thing

I was in the same position. . . So I resolved to make a costume around that mask and have it not look like Howard the Duck's power armor. It only works on the female model, but if you shrink the relevant face sliders it looks like a normal faceplate and some of the eye details work with minimal clipping.

Well, I am sad. I was going to post pictures of my latest alt, but it seems I have reached my upload limit.

I think you can go back and edit old posts right? You can always reupload some images as compressed GIFs if you're feeling industrious. In Photopea you can export as gif and lower the quality slider to an acceptable level. Photoshop has a similar option I'm sure but I still use CS2 (lol) where it's listed under "Save for Web" and I'm pretty confident it's changed in newer versions.

Alternatively you could either start a new account (Rick2z?)or use outside image hosting. Also might be possible for a moderator to increase your upload limit if you ask nicely?

I used a Mac for years, and have my own licensed copy of Photoshop (pre-subscription version!) on my old Mac, along with a number of other great graphics tools. Alas, my Mac is old and more or less dead* in the water. I switched to Windows 10 as my primary computer a couple years ago, and I've been rather frustrated in trying to find suitable tools that both do what I want and are enjoyable to use. I'll keep looking.

 

* The Mac still boots up just fine, and launches apps just fine. But for some bizarre reason, once I've launched an app, I simply cannot bring it to the foreground and actually use it. But it's over 13 years old at this point, and I guess all good things must end some day.

I use a free-be editing program for photos called Art Weaver which is very Photoshop-like.

Meet the Far Out Drifter.

I figure he went crazy while covering the war, and seeing the things he saw. Then he got yoinked up into space, and saw even crazier shit, like the Rikti and fullscale invasions and occupations of planets. Needless to say it was a trip when he made his way home and saw that the Rikti had already touched down on his home turf.

Now we just need another 300 to 400 of us and then we can all sit on a hilltop drinking bottled colas while teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony.

 

(Couldn't resist having a bit of fun with you.  You did great, though!)

Just downloaded it and fiddled with it a bit. I like it! Thanks!

I should make a video of him in action. He's very colorful once the fighting starts. He's a fire/fire scrapper, and I used a whole bunch of colors so every power has a different color pairing.

Is this guy on Everlasting? I think I spotted him standing near the base portal in AP the other night. Or somebody very much like him.

 

I didn't respond right away because I wanted to recheck. But this character I made on Torchbearer, I believe. I had to check because I've got  like a million characters everywhere.

Man that's a great looking shirt. And I must admit, it never occured to me to try using those jeans. Maybe I should.

Oh, absolutely try them!  I was impressed with your guy's trousers. Malaise, I assume?  I never figured that pattern/look out when experimenting with a lot of possibilities.

Same. This is why I made a spreadsheet on my iPad to track them. I keep it next to my PC to refer to it as I play. And by “play” I mean “mess about in the character creator”. 😁

Miss!


This is so great. And “Battle Ready Yeti” is right up there with “Spaghetti Betty” for fun-to-say quotient.

I've been looking at the floating heads for a while, wondering what to do with the orb that wasn't just Mysterio. Because you really have to commit to it, and make it the focal point of the costume. Suddenly, 30 minutes ago, something clicked in my brain, and I made this:
