Costume Request Thread!

[Christopher Robin]

 

Not sure who you are or why you are on someone else's account instead of making one for yourself but I can tell you from

experience a gorilla is definitely possible if you get creative.  I've made one and I have seen others make them as well.

I don't think a thong will work though (yay?) as the Monstrous Fur bottom specifically has no overlay option &

only allows a single color so even the appearance of a thong via color differentiation wouldn't really work.

So, Ukase is far too embarrassed to ask this himself, so while he was on a call, I snuck on here and typed this out. He's at his wit's end coming up with a gorilla with a thong for reasons that escape any rationale I can think of. 

So..this is gonna sound super strange - but what he wants is the closest thing he can get to a gorilla. And, heaven help those whom he teams with, a thong. 
He claims it's impossible to have monstrous fur and a thong. Nor any gorilla/ape/monkey type heads. But he wouldn't really know - he just hits the random button most of the time. 

But, I'm sure some of you know the costume creator better than he does. Maybe it's hidden in there somewhere. 

I will see to it that you're rewarded if you submit a file I can download for him when he's not looking, if yours is chosen. 

 

Thanks!

 

*Heavy sigh*
Doesn't work if you're going for fur. Also thong is unfairly only available on the female model. So without stopping to ask if I should, I give you Steampunk Bikini Gorilla. I now know how Dr. Frankenstein felt. . . this creature shall torment my conscience for the remainder of my days. Please. No reward.

Oh, but it gets better:

Since you're using the female body type and neglected to cover her chest, she's a Topless Steampunk Bikini Gorilla!

A gorilla in a top? Ridiculous!

[Papaschtroumpf]

Lol I like it. There is a side "ear vent" kinda piece that works well for monkey types too, can't remember what it's called and no game access atm.

Hi all,

 

I was listening to the radio the other day and they played 'Electric Dreams' by The Human League, I found myself remembering the film of the same name (which the song was also played on) about a computer that falls in love with a Cellist....anyway I digress.

 

Suddenly I've found myself desperate to be immersed in as much 'eighties' as possible, thus was Gozer the Destructor promptly cloned.

 

In addition I am trying to put together a Ghostbusters outfit on the character designer but cannot for the life of me find a jumpsuit so....I'd be very interested to hear any ideas or advice about costume parts I could use that might best represent the Ghostbusters uniform.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Neil.

I got something semi-okay using the Jackets option with the Official Shirt and Pushed sleeves.  For bottoms, it was a toss-up whether to go with regular pants, tight pants, or baggy pants, although I used the "Cargo" option in any case.  For the belt, I used Leather Eyelets, although there are several options that approximate the look in the movie.

 

I hope this helps!

There is a hairstyle under "standard" called "topknot", which is what I think you're looking for...

 

 

 

Not thrilled with the mask stitching, although it's not as noticeable from a distance, but otherwise got it close to what I wanted.  Thanks!

Anyone got a good costume, or idea for something Victorian era inspired? I know we have the steampunk pieces, but was just wondering if anyone was sitting on a good one they'd like to share for inspiration!

[Moonxtal]

Funny you ask that after I made an alternative outfit for Creepy Girl

Normally she looks like Samara from the Ring, but today I decided to make her into a creepy Victorian ghost child.

I don't know how well this embraces Victorian dress, but here's my attempt - "En Garde 'n Unmarred":

Perhaps you'll find your interest piqued by the very latest technological marvel of the modern age?

All the top futurists agree: by the end of the Twentieth Century, advances in new technologies such as "electro-nomics" will make the need for pants a thing of the past! Primarily because they would be ignited by the fires from the coal-fed rocket packs everyone will be wearing.

thanks so much peeps, you continue to fuel my desire to keep making stuff on this game xD

Any suggestions on how to make a bear head in the CoH costume creator? I know there is not a costume part named Bear Head per se, but I think I have seen characters in-game which looked like bears, so presumably people have combined some of the other costume parts to make something bear-like. Many thanks in advance.

 

And yes, the reason I ask is that this thread inspired me...

Just got the name 'Protect' for a retiring police officer that turned into a PB.

 

I also managed to snag the name 'Serve' when I was coming up with a name for the initial character and figured it would be better for a MM or controller. Any thoughts on a costume? My initial thoughts were for a mummy who could raise the dead around him, but I couldn't really come up with a costume more than just a guy with a mummy head. Also thought about a demon summoning MM but it's pretty up in the air at this point.

[Nerio72]

Protect and Serve huh? You a cop man?!? You know you gotta tell us if you are!🕵️

[Shocktacular]

'Serve', huh?  Is this a heroic character or a villain?  Either way, a pissed-off waiter/waitress could be a way to go...

So I created this character, called "The Drawbacker", who is an archery/temporal manipulation blaster.  I like her design, but it is missing something, therefore I am here asking for some input from you fine folks.  I'd love to see if any of you can add a bit of flair or pizzazz - something to give the costume a bit more interest.  My only request is that you keep the waist-cape and chainmail.  Thanks for reading!

For pizzaazz without changing much you might consider nothing more than slightly less muted color settings:

 

 

The left side is the costume with no changes other than a slightly more golden hue in the appropriate places. 

 

The right side is my frustration that the waistcoat is part of the belt settings as Archery/Temporal screams to me to have both quiver and clock. I tried Trenchcoat to get the look but then the belt option wasn't available (and changes would have been necessary to the chest but I think that could have gotten close).

 

I may fiddle with it some more as the day progresses.

 

Edit: Forgot to add the costume files.
