Nicely done. I figured that, if I was gonna be so uncreative as to straight-up copy the Longbow costume (as well as the face and hairstyle of my favorite Longbow agent), I'd better come up with a decent backstory to explain it 😛 Midnight Blue is a mutant 🙂 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was an inside joke between her and her husband whom she lost to "the coming storm" and Lord Nemesis. She hated it when they were apart so to put her mind at ease he would frequently say there was nowhere she could be without him and him without her and that he would be with her one way or another. Always. His last words to her on that fateful day were that he was looking forward to spending "X-mas nowhere" with her. https://images2.imgbox.com/c3/9a/xMObniOt_o.jpg That is a grade-A usage of the Insectoid Hybrid top, CR.

I wish the beret were closer to the military style, or st least a second version that wasn't so poofy on top and laid flatter against the head on the pulled down side. "Thank you.

"Thank you. I've worked hard to become so." <sounds of rapiers clashing continue> Yeah that would make it more usable. You can deform it somewhat with the sliders but a military style option would make a good addition. Maybe add it to the "Costume Piece Request" thread? **ring ting ting ating ting sounds continue** "I admit it, you are better than I am" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christopher Robin 1202 Posted November 2 (edited) You know I am getting the sense that some people come to the Artz part of the forum but they are not actually here for the art (crazy right? ). They seem to only be interested in the "Best Costume" & "Awesome Bio's" threads. Midnight Blue Mage and his/her character Missing Cat are all over this neck of the woods in everything from the Inktober thread... To some of the Art and art request threads. Heck I even drew Missing Cat once (she is basically a catgirl silhouette with glowing green eyes) in my art thread. Kinda hard to miss her unless you never stray from the two aforementioned threads. Yes I realize that was a really long set up just for a cat pun. I regret nothing. Edited November 2 by Christopher Robin 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew that and had, after getting them to make us an art section sooner rather than later, already created "best costume" & "best bios" threads for us in here. They were some of the first threads I created for the art forums. Once they imported already existing threads with dozens of costumes and thousands of views mine became redundant and deleted. From an admin point of view it made perfect sense and I would've done the same but personally I was not thrilled with the result on the day. I'm not knocking anyone for focusing on what they like, we all do that, just thinking that since people from the "General Discussion" section are here now anyway... maybe branch out a bit. You might find other threads you love too. We have a couple good writers that have posted stories already (like @Dacy and @EyeLuvBooks), a costume help thread, an art request thread and about 10 artists so far putting up content. Come to think of it if you guys have a costume you are particularly proud of there are a couple artists still available for commissions yet (like @Flashtoo and @battlewraith) so you can have your best creations made into a literal work of art. So, you know, maybe wander about for a bit & as I oft say, Welcome to the best part of the forums. Edited November 3 by Christopher Robin 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RikOz 154 Posted November 3 4 hours ago, Christopher Robin said: You might find other threads you love too. We have a couple good writers that have posted stories Hmm ... I'm something of a writer, though mostly known in circles where pseudonyms are the order of the day. I do try to write at least a paragraph of bio for each of my alts, though with 71 alts (and counting) I have to stretch a bit to keep them unique. I could actually write a full backstory for Captain Apple since, as I mentioned, I originally created him around 30 years ago. My IRL art is more along these veins: The second photo is one of my culinary experiments: eggs, chorizo, and cheese, between two slices of french toast, drizzled with syrup. It was tasty. (I've been a pro cook for 36+ years.) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Robin 1202 Posted November 3 (edited) Nice alt suit MBM. Makes me think we need a Public Service Announcement though. Ahem... Has your cat gone missing? Good news! There's no need canvas the neighborhood or staple "have you seen me" adds with a photo and number to call... just check around at the local armory, cybernetics shopz and/or ninja dojos.

Techwright 35 Posted November 4 Mentally stuck 50 years in the past, it's the Aged of Aquarius! Not my greatest costume creation, but then the designer isn't well stocked on nehru jackets and groovy beaded necklaces. I did like coming up with a color scheme that fit the clash of the late '60s. Regardless, Aged of Aquarius as a water sentinel has been a lot of fun to play. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
