Empathy for caring about the kids and Sonic for having to yell at the l'il bastards!  I love it!  😄  This is just great - nicely done!!

Exactly my reasoning :D

So I ended up using a slightly modified version of a previous costume I posted, but I like it so much that I felt it needed to be shared - "The Flux Mage":

That's a REALLY cool look.  The coloring makes me want to create a similar character and name him The Rust Mage.

Couple of new ones

Emp/Psy Defender

 

Water/Plant Control

 

I went Psy/Energy with this just because it's so bright, haha.

Glow looks great.  While I love detail and intricacy, I find in costume design that often "less is more" so long as it is well-coordinated.    

Is it just the costumes that are new, or also the names?  If the names as well, I'm impressed those three were available.

The chest detail & belt almost look like a turtle shell.  Really nice!

Thanks! First-Aid was surprisingly free but I’ve had the other two, those are just new costumes for them.

I was going to ask the same. Still, it’s amazing that First-Aid was still available.

Sorry in advance for the huge post. I ended up liking my Champion of Ullr concept so much that I made 10 whole costumes for him. Now you can pick your favorite champ.

Clearly, you've not seen any of my posts.  😄  ...tiny compared to mine.  lol

I am getting back to playing some character who have languished due to my periodic non-CoH flings. Along with playing comes the need to fiddle with what they wear.

 

Not a new character, but have given him some costume updates:

 

[Six-Six]

Got a couple of new ones inspired by 40k

 

 

 

 

Edit: make that three 😃

Death Korps is a petless Merc/Traps MM currently at level 28
Necron Technomancer is a Beam/Dark Corr which I may play... one of these days.
Sister of Battle is an alternative costume for one of my 3 DP/Ninja Blasters  (2 at 50 and one at 15 heeh)

This is my evolved snake species concept. I have had about 20 different toons over the years with various color combos and power sets all with similar costumes. the key design requirement is they must have monsterous feet, tail and reptilian skin, and some sort of facial feature that says fangs. My most recent is my Rad/fire brute farmer name Neutron mamba. I currently use the green&blue skin/purple/silver and the blue/red/gold costumes. The toon started out as black/red/gold with the same costume elements as the dark green skin version.  Oh how I wish a snake lower body like the snakes from Mercy Island would be added to the costume creator, snake heasd would also be nice

@Six-Six those are great looks. I love the 40k lore, and all three of those looks are spot on.

 

I'm curious about Death Korps. Why did you choose to go the petless MM route? You're limiting yourself to three attacks, and you're paying a high price in End for them. I get people going petless Demons for the unique whips weapon. Am I missing something about Mercs that makes it a cooler choice over Assault Rifle corruptor?

 

[Six-Six]

Thanks @TraumaTrain

uhh. no deep reason for the AT and power set combo. I don't have a lot of AssRifle toons so I just assigned the costume to an existing toon. The Merc/Traps is just one of my on-and-off petless projects that get stalled for months at a time. With those projects, I need an inspiring costume change to get the ball rolling again. So the costume just fit the concept but didn't stem from it. I was close to giving up on the toon since it IS pretty much an uber-gimped corruptor, and it's really tough to play. It being a Death Korps is giving me the initiative to push on "for Krieg" haha.

I, too, love 40k art and lore. I don't play it as I've never had the chance. I'd love to try, but the dice math is intimidating for my wee brain. I have a bunch of other 40k looks in my work in progress folder, like the Drukhari, T'au, and (posted months ago) an attempt at an Ork. I have a bit of trouble reconciling their presence in Paragon/Praetoria. The three above are ones that are able to suspend my disbelief enough to play them with a clean conscience. Death Korps and Sister of Battle found themselves thrown to the Rogue Isles and Praetoria respectively by the Warp; the Necron "woke up" here (so you know what comes next haha). Nonetheless, they're making the best of it.

Here's an Emo-BDSM Gladiator first draft. still fine tuning 😃

 

Let me know if you'd like some of the costume files. I'd be more than happy to share them with you. 😃

Here's Operetta. I've been working on her for a while. I'm beginning to get happy with both her looks, which come pretty much in two forms: Venetian Carnivale or French Rococo:

Broke out my "main", Flaminatrix to do some Ouro missions, because she hadn't seen much play lately (I'm up to 119 alts now and, well, they ain't gonna level themselves!) Finding that I still love the visual effect of the Spectrum body combined with multiple fire auras:

I ran across Operetta while you were in Atlas trying different designs. It was striking enough that I took a screenshot to add to my OPC (Other People’s Characters) file. I should start a thread of that.

[TygerDarkstorm]

@The Peacock Operetta is absolutely stunning! Love the way you combined all those different costume pieces to get some truly unique looks.

I saw you too! I think I saw something I liked on a toon of yours and did a getglobalname and was like: "oh, that's Trike. That makes sense."
