@Frozen Burn, those are absolutely stunningly incredible!

Wow, excellent work in grayscale.  I've tried to do the same with a noir robot detective, but it's not as convincing because metal already looks gray.

 

Thank you both so much! 🙂

Typically, a vial holds chemicals, but what happens if you produce all manner of toxins internally, and you choose to use them toward your own nefarious ends?  The answer is that YOU become "The Vile Vial":

Nice. Reminds me of Lady Amethyst from the DC Comics 'New 52: Futures End' story arc.

@Frozen Burn super great concept and execution! We'll done making each of the looks very different. Bravo Zulu.

 

Thanks so much!  This is one of my favorite characters to play.  I don't really roleplay, but the concept is that one spirit will take control and form and use the powers of the others until another spirit's will overtakes and becomes the dominant form to use the collective power - so I cycle through all the costumes at random as I go through missions.  🙂

The brilliance here is off the charts. I thought my grayscale girl was good, but this is next level. Kudos.

Well, I am sad. I was going to post pictures of my latest alt, but it seems I have reached my upload limit. I've deleted what I can from old, inactive threads, but it appears that the overwhelming bulk of my image posts have been to this still-active thread. So I've gotten my total down, but not enough. I'll still hit the limit again in just a few posts.

Same happens to me @RikOz , good problem to have. Ive gotten better about posting smaller images. (still a tad frustrating)

Yeah, I have an Imgur account I guess I'll need to start using. Just such a pain in the neck doing it that way, compared to just dragging the pics straight into my posts from my desktop.

Okay, new Seismic Blast/Earth Manipulation blaster, Tectomancer! Kinda beefy for a blaster, I suppose, but why not? First six costumes, which I think provide a fairly good example of the progression my characters' costumes usually follow.

It's hard to see much difference between the last two. Aside from the different capes, #5 has the "Rocky Crumble" aura on his hands and feet; #6 has the same aura, but on his whole body, plus the "Seismic" movement aura.

PNGs aren't massive, but jpegs would tend to be smaller (depending on the quality setting).

 

Hmmm...had another idea. Let's test:

 

8VbFttN-min.png.67da81bc4713c2a48153f8d84aea7b08.png

 

The above is a compressed png which should be nearing a quarter smaller than the original you posted.

 

Now let's try jpeg:

 

8VbFttN.jpg.b51372add15c5748b2c45339d3c5e6c2.jpg

 

That is now down to 12% (one-eighth) the size of the original

Yeah, I just noticed while deleting stuff that they're mostly PNGs. Trying to find the setting to change that in my screenshot software.

A part of me wishes they'd use some of our monthly donations to upgrade the file storage limits of this board.  Honestly, I spend more time on the board than I do in-game since my playtime is limited to a couple of hours a few evenings per week.

Another option beside deleting would be to convert and edit in the new, smaller picture. But that would take some time and effort.

I really like how this one turned out.  Taking inspiration from Crystal, I present to you "Searrate":

Amazing.  I've tried to use that mask but always reject it because it looks so much like it's own thing (like the brain in a jar head, it's so specific and un-modifiable that it just puts me off somehow, even though I love it).  I've also tried to superimpose something from beneath it like you did here and never made that work too.  Guess I didn't try hard enough!

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.
