Stop it. Save some of the cool for the rest of us.

@MagicalAct I am not a great fan of most results people achieve with the cel shader, but somewhere in the combination between settings, color choices, and costume design your costumes really rock.

Great look!

 

What options are you using on the head? I cannot seem to figure out the specific combo.

Keep it simple and classic. Flame of Faltine superhero costume (non-infernal this time).  I've tried to focus on the classical costume of the golden age with a twist from the 90s. Hope you all like it

Thank you for the extremely kind words. I know what you mean, when I first turned the shader on a lot of my old costumes just looked flat and ugly. Took a while to find things that popped with the shader.

Thank you so much. Adam is basically an android created in the 50s to help fight the rise of super villains. A.D.A.M. is Android Designed to Assist Mankind. No power source seems to be strong enough to sustain it though so Adam is just kind of buried in a bunker and forgotten. His original creator finds out his son had died while secretly being a super hero. Distraught he steals a strange gem Portal Corps found in another dimension and slaps it into Adam. The old scientist has a heart attack while Adam comes alive and gives him his only mission to protect mankind.

Thanks for posting something about how you feel about Cel Shading.  I've wanted to vent something for a long time in that I just cannot stand the Cel Shading rendering.  I get how it gives that "comic book" look and feel - but details are lost and many of the simpler costumes look bland with it and many of the more detailed costumes look muddy.  Finding a costume that is balanced for it is rare (and some people here have done that). 

 

But even then, I'd still prefer the in-game look so I can see more clearly what the person has created.  I actually get frustrated and disappointed when I see a Cel Shaded post and I have a hard time "liking" what could be an awesome costume just because I feel like it might be incomplete and I can't see the details.  I know many others will disagree, but this is my issue and unfortunately how I feel about it.  

You all keep doing you and making awesome costumes!  🙂

As you note, its a matter of personal taste and I certainly do not want to suggest anyone is wrong for preferring the settings they like. 

 

I actually use the cel shader in game but at such a minimal setting that I suspect some people would not notice. As example, I toggled between cel shader deactivated and my usual setting  (diagonal bands with a red C) to show the difference:

The Greek cousin of Mumra the Ever-Living

...is a hero character I've had since my start in Homecoming.  A radiation blast/empathy corruptor for whom I've never found a satisfactory costumed look, though I've worked long hours on it.  I was originally going for something hooded and winged, vaguely a cross between monk and angel.  I finally decided to scuttle much of that, as the costume creator, for all its glory, lacked what I felt I needed.

 

The one thing I could not jettison was the biography concept: that he's a tortured hero, doing what he must, but grieving a lot of the results.  As a radiation user, he wields both the power to heal and the power to sicken and destroy.  People call him a "saint" for rescuing them. He cannot fully accept that due to the deaths he's caused, villains though they be.  Thus the name he settled upon: a lesser saint. 

 

So I needed to play visually with dark armor to reflect his dark pain contrasted with the light of his radiation power, partially obscuring his dark visage, which is how he sees himself: a dark soul obscured by the light every good person perceives.   I'm still not completely satisfied, but I find the current look more interesting than those previous.

I hadn't considered using the liner of the student shirt to sort of necklace-ify the chest piece. This is great!

The green goes really well. Bravo!

I really like what you've done with the asymmetrical shoulder pieces with the toga. It creates a nice silhouette.

[Erratic1]

What to do when you like the costume (not completely satisfied but getting there) but you are not in love with the character's powersets?

Had to make this New God-esque character after discovering the Ascension belt plus the Labeaux bottoms makes a perfect "cosmic thong," or maybe "The Marvelous Thong of Odin's Eye" if we're being thematic.
The wisdom thing was a cover, Odin actually gave up his eye for sculpted cheeks.

The Marvelous Thong of Odin's Eye sounds like a D&D artifact.
