Papaschtroumpf Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 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.

Shocktacular Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Papaschtroumpf: 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! 1 Want more from Praetoria? Check out my level 40+ Praetoria missions in AE! I've got 3 complete arcs so far. Praetorians can get to AE in Pocket D by going through Studio 55.

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.

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.

BasherBot Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Green Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 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 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) 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!). Edited May 2, 2020 by Cutter @Cutter So many alts, so little time...

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. 2 1 Want more from Praetoria?

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. @Cutter So many alts, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasherBot Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 @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! 1 @Cutter So many alts, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
