You know what? It's fine. You can laugh. It's funny. I'll own it 😅 The problem? I never realized before that there are no matching gloves and boots! It's "shirt" and "pants" only! (L) the original Top and Bottom pieces - the only parts that truly go together. (M) Organic Armor gloves are an adequate pairing. (R) Organic Armor boots look terrible with this. The Organic Armor gloves certainly look 'close enough' to match the style. I would be fine with this. But check out the Organic Armor boots! They look terrible! There's a huge seam. It looks like she pulled on leather boots and then either the biomass grew through them or she just glued pieces onto them to look cool. No self-respecting cosplayer would go out looking like that. OK, I'm being mean. Obv Organic Armor was not built to go with Metal so I should not judge how it looks together. But there's nothing that is supposed to go with Metal. I went through all the options twice looking for anything that doesn't look like she pulled on a big pair of rubber galoshes over her cool living metal suit. The set is straight up incomplete, I can't unsee it, and it kind of makes me want to throw away the character. Maybe a fashion genius out there has an idea on how to make it fit with something, anything? Are you that genius? Try Omega gloves and boots tinted the same color. I find it works well enough for my tastes. Even comes in stiletto heels, which can be really hit or miss as to what is available. 1

I'm not seeing an issue... (and I'm staring respectfully). But other than even skimpier options formed by combining belts and thongs, I don't think there is an alternative. All of CoH pants come up over what is known in scientific circles as "the round of the ass." Maybe in the future we'll get "low rise leggings" which fill in the space between Disco tights shorts and leggings which allow for tail-availability without showing as much skin? 1
biostem Posted October 26 Posted October 26 16 hours ago, Display Name said: Any ideas? The following bottoms allow room for a tail that doesn't appear to clip through the bottom pants/tights, (at least in my testing): Bikini 1 is very close, but clips slightly. Barbarian - same as "Bikini 1". Excess & Excess Plus Hacker Witch Bare & Witch Lace are close as well. Zombie is pretty close as well. 2
Ukase Posted November 6 Posted November 6 The character I've got in mind is from the Hawaiian Islands. As for what I'd like - something along these lines: And no, despite my better judgement, the character is not going to be called Hawaiian Punch. 2

The Hasten power (in the Speed Pool power) will provide the glow on the arms temporarily. Not sure about flowers in the hair. I know it's in the Leaves hair but don't remember seeing it elsewhere. The Sybil outfit might work for the costume. The eyes might be possible with an Aura effect. I did it on an ice toon I have. Just change the color and I bet it would look like flaming eyes with sparks flying off. The belt looks like skulls? CoH has something for that. Alternately for the arms and even abdomen you might try playing around with tattoos and cybernetic tattoos.

Display Name Posted December 7 Posted December 7 (edited) I usually try random costumes when I'm creating a toon. I'll cycle through a few to get some inspiration. This costume came up. I made it symmetrical because some of the pieces mismatched the left and right. It looks like an interesting idea for a magic toon so if anyone wants it....? There's even the tarot card aura! Just don't forget that it has a shield before you try to install it. The tailor will probably give you a "fixit" button to integrate the costume into your build (assuming your build has no shield.) Anyway, despite how much I thought that this looks cool, it doesn't really fit my picture of a Science origin Electric/Shield Stalker. Anyone have any ideas? I *do* like the face. Are there any "normal" faces that are shaped similarly? Also maybe a suit that taps the cold fusion in the Impervium shield to produce electric melee attacks? Might be a metallic Impervium-fiber suit, too...? Elect Shield.costume Edited December 7 by Display Name @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot.

Display Name Posted December 9 Posted December 9 And this Broad Sword/Shield Defence Scrapper toon could use some tuning, I guess? Hair and skin colors? Believe it or not, this was also originally random and I "smoothed it out" a little. But sometimes I desynchronize the colors a wee bit too late. I was thinking of a tragic good girl or a crazed bad girl color scheme? The Labeaux 1 (that sounds so dirty!) doesn't match the texture of the sleeves. It's easy to see while in the costume editor. boobies.costume @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!
Display Name Posted December 14 Posted December 14 And finally, here's another random costume that I "smoothed out." I think all I did was change one boot to match the other, *maybe* change the gloves to match and finally remove the shoulder pieces completely. This is a Mind Control/Thermal Radiation Controller. She's a mutant so I was thinking maybe a helmet would work well. Although not necessarily *this* helmet! Lol!

BurtHutt Posted December 16 Posted December 16 So, I see so many requests. I love me costume pieces. But, I don't think HC Devs have a member who can actually make them? I was wondering about this - people keep making requests but if it's not possible to add pieces, why bother....? Can someone fill me in here 🙂
