Post your best costume designs here!

[RikOz]

I showed Aubergenerator (Electrical Blast/Atomic Manipulation blaster) a while back, but I designed him some new costumes. I like this one best:

 

 

I've mentioned before that I like playing with interesting words for names, so here are a couple new ones:

 

Callipygia (Dual Blades/Energy Aura scrapper):

 

 

And Crepuscular-Man (Martial Arts/Invuln stalker):

 

[Chrono-Bot]

One of my recurring character themes is making new members for the gangs of city of heroes! So here's some groupshots:

 

Outcasts:

 

Chronic Burn-Out
Bone-Chiller
Amped-Up
Zippzapp (big)
Quakeslam (small)
Quickfrost
Blazed
Shockclash
Rock-On (deliberately obscured, sorry about that)
Icestreak

 

 

 

 

Warriors:

 

Artemis the Archer
Myrine
Alce
Odyssia

 

[Virtual Green]

Made some changes to my previously-posted cold-blooded assassin (renamed Cryokill), to better emphasize his Science origins! (and to use the long-awaited Aeon Gloves)

 

  

[Fire Chief]

Took an old design but made a Scrapper with the power set Staff/Reflexes, and play on words...Beleague is born 😄

 

[Player2]

Pizza Cutter

Broad Sword / Bio Armor Scrapper

She's edgy.

 

Bio armor colored yellow... as extra cheese.

[Frozen Burn]

Moscato Rose (Force Field/Water Defender)

A college science lab.  A drunken party.  Several bottles of Moscoto Rosé.  An accident.  Rose Parker was at the epicenter causing her genes to mutate with the Moscato Rosé in her blood stream.  It altered her body's appearance.  And she can now create the bubbly-beverage at will to use the bubbles as shields or weapons.

Seems a little... cheesy, to me...

[Dynamo-Joe]

Introducing the latest model in the Dynamo Series of mecha suits. The MSP-95 GP-01 Dynamo Ingram.

 

 

This mecha has been designed with close and medium range weapons and a variety of non-lethal subdual options. A streamlined and slightly smaller compact build makes this unit better suited for urban environments. Proven, durable technologies and easy maintenance make this mecha suitable for inclusion as back up and fire support for Longbow, Vanguard and even local police. Fire and rescue missions can be supported with add-on modules.




The pilot is a Longbow reservist acting as a test pilot to see how the Ingram works out in Paragon. Assuming all goes well with the test unit, later there will be official variations such as the Police unit below.

Man those were right in my wheelhouse!  Two of my favorite Rogues were made by the simple concept of "Women from factions where there are no female mobs."  🙂

 

From the Warriors, Olympias (WM/EA Brute):

 

And from the Outcasts, Ann Ionic (Elec^2 Sentinel, shown here telling Meg Mason what she thinks of the PPD's work in the Hollows):

Wonderful Bios/Stories on these two!

Great concept and costume design!

Thanks.  I had a lot of fun writing both of those, especially Olympias' contemptuous take on Odysseus.  😄

When the world seems to shine

Like you’ve had too much wine

It’s a Defender

 

Swords will swing, ting-a-ling-a-ling 

Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you’ll sing, “Finisce la festa”

 

Bubbles slay, tippy-tippy-tay

Tippy-tippy-tay and you’ll say, “Mal di testa”

[Trike]

(And you’ll sing, “The party’s over”)

(And you’ll say, “Ow, my head” [I’m hungover])

Very nice!  Clean lines and great color choice!  I present my own law enforcement power suit and its pilot, collectively referred to as  "Agent Downfall":

My current main is The Tranarchist, a Magic origin Darkness Controller.

 

I don't think the costume is anything special overall, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do the anarchy chest symbol in the colors of the trans pride flag. ^_^ I hope that the black and white base isn't too monotonous, just enough that the occasional splashes of color really pop.

 

She may or may not be inspired by a Lasombra I played in a recent Vampire: The Masquerade game.

 

That character had hormone therapy before her Embrace but no surgeries, so to make her more visibly transfeminine, I used the "Strong" face shape as a base, moved some of the individual sliders to increase the overall size of her head in proportion to her body, increased her height and shoulder width, and decreased her hip width. I also gave her the same adjustments I always give to female CoH characters, dropping the leg length down to minimum and boosting the physique and waist sliders to maximum, so that she looks less like a Barbie doll and more like she actually has internal organs.

 

The "Fashion" heels are amazing. I fell in love with them at first sight.

I definitely think you achieved your goal, and it’s one of the more subtle designs to get that effect.

 

The first thing I do on 99% of my female characters is to decrease the chest to its lowest and shrink the legs. For most of them I also increase the waist for the same reason you’ve given. Otherwise they look like they’ve had ribs removed.

Thank you!

 

I admit I cranked her bust size all the way out of pure self-indulgence because this character and the TTRPG character she's loosely based on are both brazen wish-fulfillment. 😅

I do the exact same thing with my female toons... drop the legs to minimum.  Otherwise, they look completely out of proportion.  The other sliders will vary from min to max, depending on the character.  But the legs HAVE to be at minimum.  😄
