Costume Request Thread!

[Papaschtroumpf]

I'm designing a bots/EA character build  it have no idea where to go with the costume or even the name/concept. Maybe something along the lines of the chronosoldier above, or maybe something alien (I couldn't come up with a good floaty wisp alien like the ruularu ones). I may try and use some ideas from the radiation costume above. I couldn't make a to it that thematically for the MM pet look. All the robot pieces are too "retro". Speaking of retro, I haven't made a retro sci-fi costume yet and have not really explored that either. It could work.

 

So what am I asking for exactly? Any idea someone wants to offer, or a suggestion for a very alien look or a retro sci-fi. 1/2 my characters are male and 1/2 female, so that doesn't matter.

I'm not really sure what you're after, but it sounds like you aren't really sure, either.   I thought I'd just post some pictures of a few costumes I had lying around to see what you think so that I/we can get a better idea of what you want.  Note:  I tend to make female characters much, much more than males, so these are all female costumes.

Let me know what you think!

retro sci-fi

Long ago, I messed around with a bots/FF concept.  He was a mad scientist type from an underground human(ish) civilization, but he'd been exiled for "reasons."  He used the stout male body, very short height (maybe four feet tall), crazy hair, oversized goggles, unbuttoned labcoat, "tucked in" pants, and massive boots.  Probably my first retro sci-fi character ever, but I wasn't exactly creative with the name - I called him "Moleman" as a placeholder.  Loved the concept and the look, but didn't like MMs that much, so he didn't last long.  If that interests you, I could try to recreate his costume and post it here.

Nice thanks! Funny enough I have a character that is pretty close to the 2nd one. 

The 3rd one is something I can work with and tweak, thanks!

 

Shocktacular, thanks for the offer, I get idea so I can probably come up with something on my own, and I'm planning an earth controller that it would fit (even the whole moleman thing.

Hey, I am working on a Archery/Atomic build and I am looking for help with the costume. The idea I had was a sentai (power rangers for those who aren't familiar with the word), with a brown and/or green color scheme.

Here's one I came up with.  I decided to add a 3rd color in there, but please feel free to tailor it to your liking.  Cheers!

Here's what I came up with.  It's a darker color scheme, but I think it's sufficiently "robotic" in nature...

I am usually not one to ask for help when it comes to costume (I tend to work my way around costume-related issues quite easily), but I've been stuck on a particularly frustrating case and I really need some assistance!

I've got a Beam Rifle/Traps corruptor planned but I can't for the life of me find a suitable outfit (and name) for the guy. I basically want to make an engineer-type hero, resourceful and prepared. Inspirations range from the Engineer from TF2, Isaac from Dead Space, George Clooney's character from Tomorrowland and the Ghostbusters in general. Not sure if I want armor or spandex just yet, but I'm not looking for something too "high tech" (the guy's a tinkerer).

Hope I'm not asking too much, but I'll gladly take any help/ideas I can get!

[Cutter]

Something to think about?

Thanks for the help, folks! Here's what I ended up going with, a mix between old school and high tech.

Solid. I really wanted that belt, but it's not available under jackets!

Is there a limit to how many costume requests you can make per week?

Not that I'm aware of but just so you know, previous requests may get buried before they get seen and acted upon.

I have a burning need to revamp my first ever HC hero, Titan's Light. He's a Dark/Shield Scrapper, and has been sitting on the bench for a while. Dunno what it is, but something feels lacking (and I've come to despise the unchangeable black on the boots - it mars the entire colour scheme). Bio and current costume presented below. I'm open to anything, with one caveat: his attacks must be bright yellow (or at least sunshiney!).

I'm not very familiar with the male costume pieces, but I came up with this.  I hope you like it, or that it at least gives you some ideas.  All the dark powers were in the same colors.  I used the Energy shield because it's a glowing circle, like the sun.  I used the Spectrum head and chest to show that, now that this statue has been awakened, the power of the sun is practically bursting out of it, making it glow.

Oops, I forgot the costume file!

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't think about spectrum for parts of it (especially with the minor blast of spectrum outfits on the best costume thread!). Definitely some elements in there to consider.

For my next request, rolling up a Dark/Cold Controller with the theme of a woman who has been tainted by the frozen abyss and is constantly fighting to push back the corruption that spreads through her body (whilst also using it to fight crime)

[Cutter]

@Shocktacular, figured I'd show off where the revamp ended up. I kept your top half entirely - the face/helmet in particular are fantastic choices. Tweaked it to retain the original glowy belt, and changed the legs to be more statue-like - showing the solar power cracking through instead of replacing the stone as on top. Again, thanks for your ideas!

Thoughts on this as a jumping-off point?

Glad I could help!  It looks great!

I built off of Cutter's idea and used the newfangled asymmetry feature.  They really need to have asymmetrical shoulders, too!

I love it... but I can agree, the glove and boots change should also be added to shoulders XD
