Title: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: 0nehanklap on December 18, 2012, 01:19:28 AM
As long as we are talking Champions, how about a look at one of your current toons;

Maybe a bio, pic, build, or just conceptual stuff:

I'll kick it off with Greysun, a lev 28 Force-based Freeform build I'm currently enjoying as my main.

CONCEPT:  A being of pure energy, able to convert and channel that energy in powerful ways.
BIO:  Greysun is a being of chaotic energies, born in a remote cosmic nexus, during a convergence of the Multiverse.   The form he takes is simply a matter of convenience, enabling personal interaction with other sentients.  His life-force is somehow linked across space-time to his other selves, and he has learned to channel their power through the space between dark-matter, enabling him to do marvelous, superhuman things.   
SUPERGROUP: Shards of Virtue (edited)

Build Info:   Not ready to post the full build, but he's nearly standard force, with a couple of things swapped out (Dark Transfusion as an energy builder gives me a fully loaded opener, and ego storm as a pbaoe damage+control power, other surprises to come... So far the build works very well in everything I've thrown at him. 

Add him if you like, usually willing to help out a Hero.

This was about the closest approximation I could come up with using the options available to me as a free player:

I did a collage (excuse the size if they turn out huge and my weak photo-edit fu; also some are slightly out of date (ex: CO-GeeForce has a darker blue to match CoH-GeeForce)).

Evolution of Knight'Hawk (CoH)/Night'hawk (CO)
(https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z297/MetalRacer78/COH%20To%20CO/EvolutionOfNighthawk-COH2CO.jpg)

Knight'Hawk/Night'hawk costumes

My other heroes (vigilante in the case of Dark'Falcon)
(https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z297/MetalRacer78/COH%20To%20CO/COH2CO.jpg)

My villains (I went ahead and made those costumes for Nemesis/Foundry use (if we get it))
(https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z297/MetalRacer78/COH%20To%20CO/VillainsCOH2CO.jpg)

And finally, my first original character in CO - Emerald Eagle
(https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z297/MetalRacer78/Champions%20Online/EmeraldEagle2.jpg)

For the most part, I tried to get close, though some like the 2nd costume in the evolution pic I was able to realize what my original vision was for that costume/character. I'm also not the most original person on Earth, so a couple characters and a costume are "inspired-bys". Anyway, if you see any of ^them running, swinging, flying, cape gliding around it's me. :)

In CoH, Todogut (http://todogut.deviantart.com/gallery/40710163#/art/Todogut-reference-sheet-339099202?_sid=4f26ec9e) was a Brute with Super Strength and Invulnerability. In CO, he's a Behemoth (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Behemoth).

Human Flame-Thrower (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Human-Flame-Thrower-reference-sheet-392342209) was a Fire Blast/Fire Manipulation Blaster in CoH. In CO, he's an Inferno (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Inferno).

I think I may have done this before here somewhere, but what the heck.

This is my main 50 over in COH - Cyberman 8. He wasn't my first character, but he became my favorite.

http://www.virtueverse.net/wiki/Cyberman_8 (http://www.virtueverse.net/wiki/Cyberman_8)


In City of Heroes -

(https://i.imgur.com/oBFi5r0.png)(https://i.imgur.com/G9VcnAJ.png)

And now in Champions Online -

(https://i.imgur.com/smcTKK2.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/UBnt8KU.jpg)

His helmet in Champions is the best compromise I could get. His original in COH had that Jaunty "Swept V" ornament on all versions. But there's nothing like that in Champions. The closest you'll find is the "Mecha V" top option, and that's way too big and straight to work right on C8. (Works perfectly on my character Robot Ronin though. More about which later.)

So - taking into account that some of his helmet designs in City of Heroes used face/eye shields instead of the "Samurai" brim for the helmet, I went ahead and used the "Sci-Fi" close fitting helmet and visor in Champions. Coloring to match the theme, if not the details as closely as possible. Overall, I'm pleased with the design, and the fact that the texture options allow a more glossy metal look to him. (Though I'm tempted to drop that back to a more Matte look sometimes.)
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: Atlantea on January 07, 2013, 05:25:40 AM
The first toon I made in Champions back when it launched was also a take on a COH character. But probably one few of you would have seen.

There was a time, back before the servers were all consolidated in Texas, that there were times on Virtue Server when there was TERRIBLE latency for a few months. In fact it affected the whole East coast. (May have been at least part of the reason for the server consolidation, in fact.)

During that time, my friends and I put together some alternate toons on Infinity server, which was more stable back then.

This was Stalnoy Volk, a power armor hero from Russia.

(https://i.imgur.com/akOnIbL.png)(https://i.imgur.com/MrGF4Jk.png)

I was very definitely going for a cross between the tendency of Russian tanks and other equipment to have a "brute force" approach that shows in their lines, and yet show off a bit of the aggressive sleekness that Russian Aerospace designs have. I think I wound up with more of the "tank" than the "fighter" in this design. But I was pretty pleased with it. It's a no-nonsense look. Rather like "War Machine" from Iron Man, you know?

When Champions came out - one of the things I loved about it as compared with COH was the powered armor powers and the look of power armor in general. One of the things I think Champions DID improve on over COH was the way you could construct power armor and robots and really give them real weight and chunkiness. My first attempts at building a good looking character there were a little frustrating at first as I learned how the proportions worked. In the meantime, I knew just what character I could bring over where I wouldn't have to worry about modeling the face, at least at first.

So this is Stalnoy Volk as he first appeared in Champions.

(https://i.imgur.com/80kvErr.png)

This time a little more of the Russian Fighter Plane showed through with the design. I was really liking this. Especially since you can build yourself to be much more durable than a straight blaster in COH. In CO as power armor, you can actually build yourself as a "Ranged Tank" build. Putting the ARMOR in power armor.

Oh - and actual boot jets with the ports on the bottom of the feet - oh HELL YES.

(https://i.imgur.com/da5eOh0.png)

Later I tweaked the design some more. Added the circular port on the chest when I added "Chest Beam" as a power. (Didn't make sense for there to be something firing from no port). I really like the color too, more of a "gunmetal" grey.

(https://i.imgur.com/K9R417w.jpg)

Have I mentioned how utterly cool the power armor weaponry is? Check out  that authentic "Itano Circus" Missile spread.

(https://i.imgur.com/MlZIKAM.jpg)

Why yes, the repulsors include a license fee to Stark Industries. But they also have a lifetime warranty!
(https://i.imgur.com/Ukd86eg.jpg)



FIRE EVERYTHING!!!!

(https://i.imgur.com/AnU0TFM.jpg)

Later I came up with a specific look tied to his "Tank" mode. This is a heavier armor to reflect more durability in Tank Stance.

(https://i.imgur.com/KssduQi.png)


And here's a "testing frame" inspired of course by the scene in Iron Man with Tony Stark in the garage testing his boot jets.

It's been a month since I started playing CO, yet I am still unable to get past level 10 with any of the toons I've rolled. Wherever I go, my severe altitis seems to follow. I do spend a lot of time in the character creator though. Here are two characters that actually managed to get past tutorial (yay!).

Violence (freeform: supernatural claws/regeneration)

Here's some of my main hero Jason Phoenix. He's currently behind a Silver lock because I went Gold and haven't decided how long I will stay Gold, but I suspect I will eventually convert him. He was a fire/rad troller in CoH, he is The Inferno for now in CO.

Comparisons between CoH and CO for two of his costumes.

Alessa and her costumes. She used to be a claws/sr stalker.  Now she's erm... I don't even know.  Free form, most of my powers are from bestial supernatural. My passive is one of the martial arts ones, and my energy builder is from the set with claws for weapons. Yes! I am a noob, thanks for asking.

This is Obsydian Song. She was the character in CoH I built to solo AVs. She was a Dark/sonic defender.  In Champions she only has her dark powers.  I still named her Obsydian Song, though, because she's a singer as her day(night)job. And again I don't know what the sets are called that I chose for her freeform build, but I used the one that's close to dark that has holds and fears and whatnot, and the healing/blasting set. (if that makes any sense at all) You can't see it in the picture, but instead of having the feather cape, I used the bird tail which makes her look like she has a feather bustle, basically.

And here's some shots I took for fun during the winter event.

I was enamored of the Teddy Bear becomes.  It looked hilarious doing the snake dance.

Post by: Atlantea on February 19, 2013, 07:20:03 AM
I feel like contributing to and renewing this thread before it becomes "old" so here's another character of mine.

This is a robotic character that I could never do proper justice to in COH, I believe. I might've been able to make a really tall "Huge" frame robotic character. But I don't think it would've had quite the same flair or sense of size.

Anybody remember Shogun Warriors toys?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogun_Warriors_%28toys%29 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogun_Warriors_%28toys%29)

If not, maybe you're at least passingly familiar with some of the Super Robot shows that graced Japan's airwaves (ex: Raideen, Danguard Ace, Combattler V, Gaiking) before Gundam turned the whole genre upside down. Then decades later, Evangelion deconstructed (rather brutally) the whole genre (son pilots robot designed by genius father who's a bit of a crackpot etc.)


Well Marvel comics got the license to both Shogun Warriors and Godzilla in the mid-70s and set about making comics of them.

Needless to say - as a wee tot I was in love with em. No matter how bad they actually were. :D

Anyway - appearing in the pages of the Earth 616 Godzilla was another piloted robot clearly inspired by the Shogun Warriors/Super Robot type - Red Ronin.
http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/redroninrobot.htm (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/redroninrobot.htm)

Around September/October of 2011 I was playing around with the CO character creator and came upon a combination of Robot face and "mecha wings" that sparked my memory of that old series and Red Ronin. So I made an homage.

He's in the game as "Robot Ronin".

(https://i.imgur.com/Lqzs23e.jpg)

I use alt costumes to represent the pilot of Robot Ronin - Kenji.

(https://i.imgur.com/tMFrHPS.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/3al8sqT.jpg)

The following is his bio as it appears in the game:

Quote
Robot Ronin (originally designated Robotic Combat weapon SJ3RX) was developed with the assistance of  Harmon Industries by engineers and scientists Tamara Hashioka and Yuriko Takiguchi, and constructed in Detroit, Michigan. It was intended to be used by PRIMUS as a combat instrument against the monster Cazulon.  Takiguchi's twelve year old grandson Rob accidentally "imprinted" on the control interface and became the only pilot the robot would respond to.

After the Qulaar conflict was over, the Robot was put into storage "dry dock" and occasionally brought out to help control the "kaiju" sized monsters on Monster Island.

Present day - the 2009 Qulaar conflict. Rob's own son Kenji was exploring the old test facility when the Qulaar attacked. He decided to try piloting the robot, and it accepted him.

After subduing Cazulon (whom the Qulaar had expanded to full size again) the robot was restraining the monster when Microman's shrinking beam caught both of them.

The robot (and Kenji!) are now slightly 'out of phase' with the rest of the world in regards to their size. The Robot is now 1/10th the size it was before. So is Kenji when he pilots it! He can return to his regular size by disembarking.


As you might guess I take full advantage of the Supermagnifier device -

(https://i.imgur.com/c9wWopg.png)


 - As well as use the 0-Point Growth Advantage on Enrage He's got perma-stacks of 3 normally. Can max it to 8. At which point he's getting pretty huge!

He's mainly a Devastator build, but with some power armor abilities mixed in. Invulnerability for Tanking, if I need to. The Energy Shield with the Laser Knight advantage. Mini-Missiles, Plasma Beam, and Fire all Weapons. He's not THE most efficient build out there. But he's DAMN fun to play!

(https://i.imgur.com/56zsO6F.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/3n1YPXN.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/s5dq8Dd.jpg)


I recently got him past level 35. And was initially stumped for what secondary travel power to take. But I decided to try out Rocket Jump, under the logic that - he's already got jets/rockets in his legs. If he just pulses them in overcharge mode, he can jump instead of fly.

HAHAHA... I fell in LOVE. It's ridiculous! But it's AWESOME!. Giant Kaiju sized Robot BOUNDING over the rooftops and CRUNCHING into the pavement? WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? :D

Oh but the fun doesn't stop there.

I couldn't think of a legitimate alternate "costume" for Robot Ronin. So I started fiddling around with OOC Robot Tributes to fill his alternate costume slots. I'll break them out for friends or just to show off.

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from Transformers.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

When I was in high school, a foreign exchange student from Japan joined our senior class. His name was Takashi. I showed him some science fiction/fantasy movie magazines that I had, which featured articles about Japanese movies and TV shows including giant robots.

Takashi was embarrassed--mortified, even--to be discussing these movies and TV shows because, he explained, they're for children.

Yeah, but, to a geeky nerd, like me, they seemed pretty cool.

You could always make the version from the very first episode before it got the original head blown off, but that wouldn't be nearly as awesome.

As a free Silver account player, I was limited to two character slots. However, I earned enough Questionite to exchange for Zen in the Questionite Exchange and buy two more character slots.

I recreated my character, Golden Shaft (http://todogut.deviantart.com/gallery/40710163#/art/Golden-Shaft-reference-sheet-351582811?_sid=66f88bd7). In City of Heroes, he was a trick arrow/archery defender. In Champions Online, he's the Marksman (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Marksman) archetype. Finally, he has a quiver--hooray!

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/GoldenShaft_CoH_CO3_zpsbfa6dbbf.jpg)

Airhead (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Airhead-reference-sheet-389948810) was a psychic blast/mental manipulation blaster in CoH. In CO, he's the Mind (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Mind) archetype. However, when I discovered that the Mind is a support character type that mostly heals other players, I deleted Airhead to make room for another character.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/Airhead_CoH_CO2_zps417aecf3.jpg)

Doctor Outre (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-Outre-reference-sheet-392615194) was a dark miasma/dark blast defender in CoH. In CO, he's the Grimoire (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Grimoire) archetype. He looks much more vivid in CO. Plus, he uses the teleportation travel power, which is implemented in a much cooler manner in CO than in CoH.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/DrOutre_CoH_CO_zps33079c80.jpg)

I'm having so much fun playing Doc Outre that I'm starting to agonize over carrying out my original plan for him. I wanted to try out the Mind and the Grimoire and use them along with my three other characters to grind for Questionite in order to exchange for Zen and buy the Fist (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Fist) archetype. Then, I planned to delete a character and create Red Dragon (http://todogut.deviantart.com/gallery/40710163#/art/Red-Dragon-reference-sheet-339466483?_sid=5e4936f), who was a martial arts/super reflexes scrapper in CoH.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/RedDragon_CoH_CO3_zps551ad41a.jpg)

Long before City of Heroes was released, I played the Champions pencil and paper roleplaying game with a group of friends. Red Dragon was my main character. (Airhead and Golden Shaft were characters created by friends in our gaming group.)

Back then, I liked to draw pictures of our Champions characters. One day, I decided I wanted to revise Red Dragon's costume. His original mask was inspired by Marvel Comics' Iron Fist, but I wanted to make it look more like a dragon, very elaborate and ornately detailed, like costumes worn by performers in the Peking Royal Opera. However, I quickly learned that I did not possess the drawing skill nor visual imagination to achieve my goal. This was before the days of the Internet, so I couldn't just Google search for reference images of a dragon mask from a Chinese parade.

When CoH launched, RD was the first toon I created. In CO, he finally gets his fancy dragon mask!

y'know, questionite is useful for lots of different things - but I think it would be better to use it on those other things, and just open a second acct to get 2 additional silver slots...   nevertheless, the toons look great ;)

We played these characters in City of Heroes, and now their adventures continue in Champions Online.

Sadly, a snafu on my end resulted in the loss of all my CoX Pictures, so no comparison shots. But here's my current (first) CoX Refugee:

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/Thoughtforce001_zps006cc9af.jpg) (http://s17.photobucket.com/user/GuardConvoy/media/Heroes/Thoughtforce001_zps006cc9af.jpg.html)

Thoughtforce

Originally a Mind Control/Force Field Controller back in Issue 5/6, then became a Psi/Psi Dominator when Villain Archtypes got rolled over into CoH.

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/Thoughtforce005_zpsa4840a6d.jpg) (http://s17.photobucket.com/user/GuardConvoy/media/Heroes/Thoughtforce005_zpsa4840a6d.jpg.html)

A specialized suit of power armor, Project: Thoughtforce was part of the US Government's Super Hero Initiative back in the 80s, the Powers Project. The goal behind the Powers Project was to create a Federal Super Hero team that could act in a official capacity and be a Public Relations boon to the Country. It turned into a fiasco in short order after the team devolved into covert ops work and was eventually disbanded. The armor was mothballed and lost in the decades that followed, eventually coming into the possession of a retired Air Force Major.

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/Thoughtforce003_zpsa79f4ee5.jpg) (http://s17.photobucket.com/user/GuardConvoy/media/Heroes/Thoughtforce003_zpsa79f4ee5.jpg.html)

The Thoughtforce Armor amplifies psionic abilities in Human Pilots, granting them abilities on par with any psychic presently cataloged. The interior of the suit features a reactive psionic gel that transmits brain wave impulses into the correct "ability" that the armor then serves as a foci for. In effect, the Thoughtforce armor can mimic many basic power armor abilities despite all of it being controlled by the mind of the individual piloting the suit. The sole exception is the armor's ability of flight, which is achieved via a rocket pack on the back. During testing, the strain of maintaining a telekinetic field required for flight for more then a few minutes often resulted in mental fatigue or even "stress fractures" on a pilot's psyche.

The armor is only as powerful as the mind operating the suit is. While the suit does not actually grant psychic abilities, only a person who is sensitive to psychic energies can even hope to command the suit to do the most basic of tasks.

Post by: Todogut on April 20, 2013, 06:46:58 PM
I earned Questionite and exchanged it for 1,400 Zen and then purchased two additional character slots. So, I got two new characters (on the same free Silver account) without paying any real-world money.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/GlacialMassCoHCO_zps2bdb17d6.jpg) (http://s754.photobucket.com/user/Elenlanta/media/GlacialMassCoHCO_zps2bdb17d6.jpg.html)

In City of Heroes, Glacial Mass (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Glacial-Mass-reference-sheet-391107636) was an Ice Armor/Ice Melee Tanker with high-tech armor that generated ice powers. In Champions Online, I reconceptualized him as an ice elemental using the Glacier (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Glacier) archetype--now, no worries about his armor suit being damaged.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/StarboltCoHCO_zps3df41b88.jpg) (http://s754.photobucket.com/user/Elenlanta/media/StarboltCoHCO_zps3df41b88.jpg.html)

Before City of Heroes, my friend invented a character named Starbolt back when we played the Champions pencil-and-paper roleplaying game. When CoH launched, he played Starbolt first as an Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation Blaster and later as a human-only Peacebringer. In Champions Online, my friend played Starbolt as a freeform character, and now I'm playing the character to try out the Radiant (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Radiant) archetype.

I was quite surprised at the options presented in the character creator for CO.  I'm still tweaking them, but I have been able to recreate most of my favorite characters from COH.

Guardian of the Pit: Formerly a Titan Weapon/Willpower Scrapper, now The Devastator.
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.ladymoiraine.com%2Fforum%2Fgallery%2F35%2F2147-210413224422.jpeg)

Serkana: Formerly a Katana/Willpower Scrapper, now The Blade.
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.ladymoiraine.com%2Fforum%2Fgallery%2F35%2F2147-210413224556.jpeg)

Thunder Hooves: Formerly a Martial Arts/Regen Scrapper, now The Fist. (More like Thunder Thighs now, Amirite?  :roll:)
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.ladymoiraine.com%2Fforum%2Fgallery%2F35%2F2147-210413224628.jpeg)

X-357: Formerly a Electric Blast/Electric Manip Blaster, now The Tempest.
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.ladymoiraine.com%2Fforum%2Fgallery%2F35%2F2147-210413224734.jpeg)

Void Summoner: Formerly a Dark Control/Martial Assault Dominator, now The Void.  Overall I feel that this character turned out the best, as she became more like what I wanted her to look like in CO than in COH.  This is the only character I have leveled past the starting area as of yet, but I might reroll her as a freeform.  I do like the Void Archetype very much thus far however.  In Void Summoner's bio she was basically an experiment by Crey scientists in an attempt to create their own Nictus.  As I am new to the CO lore I do not know of a semi-evil corporation that would be able to create some secret super-being.  Anyone have any ideas?

My top two would be ARGENT, since they're a giant corporation along more or less the same lines as Crey, and VIPER who're the giant terrorist organisation along much the same lines as the Council or Arachnos.

You can find parallels for most of the CoH groups in Champions lore, due mostly to how CoH began. Rumor has it CoH was going to be a Champions game, but they couldn't get the license for it so they adapted some of their own tabletop campaigns to create a new world. That presumably happening after much of the game was designed if not built likely influenced their enemy groups and such to fall into similar patterns.

Here are some... don't have pics to compare all of them, sadly and some are actually new chars to Champions universe

Condor:

This one was very easy to translate from oen game to the other, only thing missing are proper shields on Champions.

(https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CondorAzul4_zps0e6e197d.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CondorAzul4_zps0e6e197d.png.html) (https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/Champions/Characters/Condor3_zps1de9e1e9.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/Champions/Characters/Condor3_zps1de9e1e9.png.html)

Violet Darkmoor:

There was no way to make the hooded costuem look right without glowing aura for the eyes onChampions... so I went into making a completely new costume but keeping the theme. I think I did it quite nicely.

(https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/VioletDarkmoor03.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/VioletDarkmoor03.png.html) (https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/VioletDarkmoor01.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/VioletDarkmoor01.png.html)

Psychic Silk:

Same with Silk here... sadly I could not replicate the awesome purple costume, so I went to something that captured her spirit.

(https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/PsychicSilk02.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/PsychicSilk02.png.html) (https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/PsychicSilk03.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/PsychicSilk03.png.html)

Anemona:

This one was easier than the others, I just had to check how Atlanteans fit on Champions universe and made some minor adjustments.

(https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/Anemona02.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/Anemona02.png.html)

Puma:

Another one that was easy :)

Tralka:

This one needed some work but basic colors remain.

(https://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/Characters/Tralka01.png) (http://s277.photobucket.com/user/Baronesa_1980/media/CoH/Characters/Tralka01.png.html)

Here's my guys:

(https://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii554/newtonro/Costume_dynamojr_BlackJak_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_407802695_zpsfc5b7aa0.jpg)

Being Silver, I finally saved up enough for swinging, which is this character's true travel power. Whoo hoo! Costume in COH is meant to be a black union jack, of course and there is no way I can see to do that in CO at all. Go figure. So I had to retool him totally.

My other character is Dynamo Jr. I am currently re-redoing him. He was a sidekick from WWII who got accidentally time travelled to COH present. I remade him, at first, into a robot construct with the originals personality. Getting tired of the robot-ness, so I am re-remaking him with the premise that his powers changed in the transfer to CO (he gained SS/INV on the trip from WWII originally, so....) and now will be able to change into living metal like Colossus. If I can get the metal to look ok. Sometimes it is too shiny and looks plastic to me.

In City of Heroes, my Electrical Melee/Electrical Armor scrapper was named Taser Fists (http://todogut.deviantart.com/gallery/40710163#/art/Taser-Fists-reference-sheet-353322396?q=gallery%3Atodogut%2F40710163&qo=2&_sid=5a1f1250). In Champions Online, I recreated him using the Tempest (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Tempest) archetype. However, because the Tempest uses mainly ranged attacks, I renamed him as Human Taser.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/HumanTaserCoHCO_zps86a165f8.jpg)

Here is his profile biography:

Quote
Millennium City police officer Dave Wright was a noted expert in taser stun guns. His job duties included conducting training seminars to instruct fellow officers in the use of tasers.

So, when the MCPD weapons research division developed a new experimental combat suit using electrical taser weaponry, Dave was assigned to test it in the field. He does so as a deputized hero, Human Taser.

As of logging in right now, we have 492 members.  Rarely are more than 20 on at a time though and I don't know how many of those are alts.  The most members online are usually Sunday nights when we host our Costume Contest or for raids and such.

Do not really have a story behind this character; just came up with the character concept in DCUO and was rather disappointed with the costume pieces available for a "power suit" look.  Thankfully CO has this covered.

I like these two the most.  And you are very creative with your character names!

Updated Void Summoner's suit after unlocking some of the Cybertech pieces.  Which brings me back to the days in the I24 Beta with the Cybertech pieces from CoH.  :-\

A different character named Serkana, as I couldn't get the original Serkana to my liking in CO as I could in CoH.  But the name "Serkana" means "Warlord," so it is a good name.  I like how this character turned out and I love the third eye that I added as an afterthought.  Also, yay to good screenshot timing; I love the pose.

This is long overdue but I only upgraded my graphic card yesterday. This is my toon Paragon that I created back when I found out that CoH was going to be shut down and is the toon I played while helping as many players as I could get adjusted to playing Champions Online. Paragon's original look is on the left and his newer look (the one to make sure I don't get in trouble lol) in the supergroup costume slot is on the right.

I grinded alerts to earn Questionite and exchanged it for Zen, enough to buy the Mountain (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Mountain) archetype for my free Silver account. Then, I created a new character named Geo-Strata (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Geo-Strata-reference-sheet-339083318).

In City of Heroes, Geo had been a Stone Armor/Stone Melee tanker. Of course, his Granite Armor form looked the same as every other stone tanker. Here's how he looks in Champions Online.

I have to admit, once you figure out how the CO costume creator works, it's pretty robust...
Here is my red-side demoness, Vilinia and what she looked like in CoH (or as close as I can get her via the ICON) and what she looks like now on CO...

After grinding for Questionite and exchanging it for Zen, I bought two more character slots on my free Silver account. I created a new character, named Samantha-Quasar.

In City of Heroes, she was a human-only Peacebringer (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Peacebringer). In Champions Online, she's The Radiant (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Radiant) archetype.

The character is based on my niece, if she had super powers. When I first created the character in CoH, my niece was 14. Now, she's 17 and has a driver's license.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/Samantha-Quasar_CoH_CO2_zps3f1e0011.jpg)

Here is the profile text I typed for her:

Quote
Hi, my name is Samantha. At least, it was, until I met Quasar.

One day, I was walking home from school and saw a gleaming ball of light fall from the sky. It crash-landed in my backyard! I was scared, but I could tell the living light was injured, so I approached and asked, can I help you?

She explained that she was an energy being from a far-away world. She told me her name, but I couldn't pronounce it. I called her Quasar, 'cuz it sounded a little like her name, and I had learned in science class that quasars are light sources in outer space.

Quasar told me she was dying and asked to bond with me in one body. It sounded scary, but she seemed nice, and I felt sorry for her and wanted to help. So, I said, yes.

I'm really glad I did! Quasar is like an older sister, always watching over me and helping. Plus, we're a heroine, which is way cool!

I told mom and dad, don't worry about us--being a heroine is fun!

Ok I made a new alternate costume for Paragon That I'm hoping won't look like a copy of any other CoH characters.

It is essentially just a hybrid of his original Statesman like costume and my first attempt at an alternate costume that was meant to be Paragons own look. I didn't want the alternate costume to be mistaken for Tyrant anymore so I'm hoping this new version looks good.

It's a magical artifact that is the source of his powers. Paragon is a guy who was inspired by Statesman to become a superhero and is actually a native of champions earth who used to play a City of Heroes PnP games until the game went out of print. He's only recently learned (some time after becoming a superhero) That Paragon City existed as a real place in an alternate reality and that some super powered people from that world have appeared on champions earth for various reasons.

I just saw Pacific Rim this week. I'm STILL gobsmacked by that movie, and I AM going to go see it again - this time in IMAX if possible.

Naturally - what's one of the first things I do? I run home to both the Icon program and Champions and using Gypsy Danger as inspiration I fashioned a couple of homages.

The Champions version is actually in the game as a Behemoth AT. And I've decided to do a shout-out to a great comic from the 1980s about a similar robot also piloted by a team of two and named him after that robot: 


DYNAMO JOE

My newest foray into Champions...

The Iron Eagle

Erik Ackermann was a German Pilot during World War II. Making a reputation for himself as a combat ace, he was tapped for an experimental program named "The Iron Eagles" - a directive to outfit ace pilots with "Fighter Skins" - basically molded fighter craft that fit the shape and profile of the wearer. The purpose of the Iron Eagles was to be bomber defense - they were low profile targets and armed with super sharp bladed weaponry, could quickly dismantle enemy attack squadrons while being nimble enough to evade aggressive fire.

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/ironeagle002_zps06ab1f8f.jpg)
Iron Eagle with Wings deployed

Before the program could ever really get off the ground, Ackermann and the prototype Iron Eagle suit were abducted by an extra-terrestrial race, intent on using Ackermann and other super beings of Earth to help them fight a Civil War.

Despite "help" from Ackermann and his fellow abductees, the side they fought for lost the conflict. For their own role in events, the abductees were placed in Cryogenic suspension, to serve out sentences for aiding the enemy. 70 years later, their sentences have been served and all the abductees have been returned to an Earth they barely recognize.

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/ironeagle003_zps599df4a3.jpg)
Wings Retracted

Some have acclimated well to the new face of the world. Ackermann has set out to make a name for himself in Millennium City, deciding against going back to his homeland for obvious reasons (Most notably because Germany itself isn't quite sure what to do with men and women like Ackermann).

(https://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/GuardConvoy/Heroes/ironeagle004_zps106c1d53.jpg)
Taking care of business

Others, however, have not taken readjustment well. Major Thomas Redding - also known as Major Victory - is still adamant to fight a conflict long since decided and has taken to harassing the likes of Ackermann and the general population. This has earned the man a new moniker - "Freedoom".

So - a follow up to the previous post above in regards to my Pacific Rim inspired robot design. I decided he was fun enough to keep around and upgrade to Freeform after I decided to re-sub (hey - 10 bucks a month for 3 months - I figure why not?).

But I always hate to have my bio field empty, and since I was using the name Dynamo Joe, I figured I'd mash-up the two giant robot concepts in the background story.

You probably already know anything you want to know about Pacific Rim (and if you haven't seen that movie yet - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?) but if you want to get the basic gist of where the Dynamo Joe elements come from, here's your reference link. ( http://comics.wikia.com/wiki/Dynamo_Joe (http://comics.wikia.com/wiki/Dynamo_Joe) )


So here's the character with the mash-up bio. Plus screenshots of Dynamo Joe and his pilots. Hope it entertains/amuses you.


After the Kaiju Wars, humanity united and colonized the solar system. Civilizations rose and fell for hundreds of years until the discovery of hyperdrive and the second great Diaspora began.

Two other advanced spacefaring civilizations were discovered in the local star cluster: the peaceful, cat-like Tavitans and the Imperium.

Then the masters of the Kaiju returned, the Mellanares.

Faced with a nearly unstoppable foe, the Terrans fell back on an old technique for combating them, Mecha soldiers to match the enemy strength for strength. The Dynamo Class Jaegers were crewed by 2 pilots once again in a symbiotic link with their machines.

One such Jaeger crew - Dynamo Joe - piloted by Alan Garana of the Imperium and Domru of the Tavitan, found themselves in combat with a Mellanare Space Kaiju near a subspace anomaly. They defeated their opponent but were drawn into the rift.

They found themselves stranded on an Earth on a different time and space axis from their own. Not only does this world seem to be thousands of years in the past of their own, but it also seems to be on a different timeline as well.

And the physics of the universe are even different! The universal scale of themselves and their Jaeger seem not to match the local physical environment. They are at least 50 times smaller than they should be. Microman has worked with them to develop an excursion belt that can expand one of the pilots at a time to normal human scale.

Still - they are heroes. Together with Dynamo Joe they can help where they can until they find a way home.

-SNIP-

Firstly, Pacific Rim is awesome.  Secondly, this character and bio is Beyond Awesome!  I like how you explain why the Jaeger is not taller than most buildings.  And Dynamo Joe is certainly a nice homage to Gypsy Danger!

Random character I've had around for awhile but recently updated her look:

Diabolic Wrath: a Reptile/Demon creature of some sort.  Sadly have not come up with a bio for her yet.  As I cannot really play her as a villain I was thinking that she was just released from prison for a specific reason; she was released from prison to assist the other heroes in Millennium City and instructed to "play nice," or its back into prison for her.

So no, she is not very happy about her situation, but it is still better than being locked up.

I like how her costume turned out.

That's a terrific look, there! And that last pic of her you really picked the perfect setting for the shot. Love the combo of vaguely reptilian look combined with the shackles. Makes you wonder what she can do once she's really free!


A little update on Dynamo Joe - I've got about 6 extra global costume slots free so naturally what do I do?

Tinker.

Here - check out the original source material for the actual Dynamo Joe comic (from the artists website):

http://derschtudio.com/dynamo-joe/

And then you'll get where I was going with the design below.

I'm not sure if this is any kind of "canon" look or not. Best notion I can think of is based on the original idea - that this is the space armor version - that the frame is the same, just the outer plating and equipment is more geared to space maneuvering than the ground-pounder above.

Then again, heck - I might just make a different character entirely based on this design.

I still want to know why punching those robots repeatedly causes them to spontaneously disintegrate.

Built-in safety feature.

The only way to insure that their technology isn't stolen is to leave no parts behind when one of them is destroyed. So, a feature was built in that senses imminent destruction and then triggers the machine's own complete destruction, leaving nothing behind that can be reverse engineered and rebuilt.

That's how Destroids first got their nickname. You'll never catch'em alive.

Actually that's a hell of a good "No-prize" explanation there. Nicely done. In the book canon Dr. Destroyer's tech does this ALL THE TIME. When he leaves a battlefield, one of the things that always seems to happen is a final signal is given that self-destructs any tech that can't be removed. 90% of the time or better this works to perfection. Only very seldom does UNTIL, PRIMUS or anyone else manage to salvage any of his tech to try and figure it out.

Mind - this is NOT Dr. Destroyer. Cyberlord is sort of a wanna-be low-rent version. But I see no reason why he wouldn't do the same thing.

(Though you're incorrect about the Destroids. They're just called DESTroids cause Doctor DESTroyer makes them.  :D )

It's been like this at every evil overlord robot factory I ever worked at.

It's an ingenious double-play on words known only to Doctor Destroyer himself. Well, and me of course. And now you too!

In City of Heroes, my Gravity Control/Force Field defender was named Gravi-Metrik (http://todogut.deviantart.com/art/Gravi-Metrik-reference-sheet-353619939). In Champions Online, I recreated him using the Impulse (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Impulse) archetype.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/GraviMetrik_CoH_CO_zpsd8950a08.jpg)

Here is his profile biography:

Quote
My story is pretty typical for a super-hero.

I'm a researcher at the physics department of Millennium City University, leading a well funded project to develop potential uses for gravity control. Thus far, the chief implementation of the technology is the body armor that I'm wearing. I use it to do good deeds.

And that's really all there is to tell.

During the recent Double Questionite Weekend (cha-ching!), my characters grinded enough Questionite for me to buy Zen on the Questionite Exchange and purchase two new character slots and still have a sizeable Q surplus. A bit more grinding since then and I was able to buy the Squall (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Squall) archetype.

To try it out, I created a new character named Windstorm.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/Windstorm2_zpsa985c656.jpg)

Here is her profile text:

UNTIL Metahuman Registry

Code Name:
Windstorm
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Real Name: Gale Windstrom
Place of Origin: St. Paul, Minnesota, USA

Notes: The subject and her father, Dr. Kurt Windstrom, are meteorological scientists. They developed technology for controlling wind and weather. She wears a cybernetic suit that enables her to command gusts of wind, freezing cold, and lightning storms.

She is a registered heroine and currently operates out of Millennium City.

If you made him blue something else, or some other colour of jay, it'd probably let it through.

Thanks to Kaiser Tarantula for posting about the Champions Online Alienware Promotion - get the Devastator AT for FREE (http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,8911.0.html). I took advantage and created a Devastator (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Devastator) character, named Dragon Princess.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/DragonPrincess_zps9e806c2c.jpg)

Here is the profile text that I wrote for her:

Quote
My name is Betty Yee. I'm a graphic designer--although, I may not look like it right now, dressed in this ancient, magic armor.

I bet you're wondering, where did I get the armor? Well, my dad is an immigrant from mainland China, and he runs a laundry business out of our house. One day, a crate was delivered for him. We didn't know who sent the crate, only that it came from the old country.

I helped Dad open the crate. Inside, we found an ancient helmet. I picked up the helmet, and--as if by magic--I felt compelled to put it on.

Presto-change-o! I was magically transformed into the Dragon Princess: wielder of the Dragon's Eye Staff (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Heavy_Dragon%27s_Eye_Staff_(Weapon)), righter of wrongs, and all-around do-gooder.

The best part is, when I wear the magic armor, I don't need my eyeglasses.

I still wish they'd actually make complete costume sets. The dragon armor bits lack boots, because the boss they came off doesn't wear boots. I wish they'd made boots for us to use though.

Post by: dwturducken on October 08, 2013, 12:05:34 PM
I think I remember this being specifically mentioned in the official forum thread that was started by one of the devs from Cryptic North. There are bigger problems with the game that are being addressed, but Trailturtle was actively looking for specific problems with costume pieces a couple of months ago, shortly before the announcement revealing Cryptic North's existence.

Post by: Todogut on October 08, 2013, 08:51:26 PM

Yeah, unfortunately, there were no Dragon Armor Boots available, so I had to pick some other kind of footwear for Dragon Princess. Currently, she is wearing Gladiator Boots. She tried on some other boots, but, meh, nothing looked great.

Similarly, there were no arm accessories for Dragon Armor. She chose Chiton Arm Bands, which have a similar texture to the Dragon Armor pieces.

Update: I changed her footwear to Arcane Long Boots. They look better.

Thanks to CO's Black Friday weekend sale, I bought the Master (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/The_Master) archetype and created a new character. It's an homage to a hero from a 1975 Chinese movie, Infra-Man. (Check out the movie trailer (http://youtu.be/rLlecrotn0Q).)

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/Infra-Man_CO_RL_zps185545c8.jpg)

Here's the profile biography that I wrote for him:

Quote
When Demon Princess Elzebub awoke and unleashed her skeleton ghosts and giant monsters to threaten Hong Kong, Professor Chang of the Science Headquarters transformed a brave volunteer, Lei Ma, into a cyborg kung-fu superhero--the man beyond bionics--Infra-Man! After saving Hong Kong, now Infra-Man has come to Millennium City to protect the world!

As shown in the trailer, Infra-Man has the ability to grow to giant size in order to battle against giant monsters. Hence, I equipped my CO character with the Super-Magnifier (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Super-Magnifier) device, which enables him to grow to three times his normal size.

(https://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/Elenlanta/Infra-Man2_zps536d7e78.jpg)

Lots of fun. I particularly like the Thundering Kicks (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Thundering_Kicks) power, which unleashes a three-kick combo.

(https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z297/MetalRacer78/Champions%20Online/Nighthawk90s_zps50d039b9.jpg)

I've had this costume for a while, but the addition of those 90s Foxbat costume pieces (particularly the mask) really completed the look. I tried to go as overboard as possible with the belts, the muscles, the stubble (which you can't really see), and really try to capture that Kelley Jones art-style. Just need another two feet of height on the head piece, and half-a-mile worth of cape. ;D

Wha you're Gold and made an AT...?

If you don't want to choose your own powers yet you can still make a FF and make it just like The Glacier. That way, you don't have to choose your powers because you can copy them from The Glacier, and, you will have 2 extra powers because you chose to make a FF instead of an AT annnd when you get comfy with the game, you can retcon your powers around/out/in however you want.

Don't Goldies start with at least 1 FF slot?

Just a thought..

Otherwise, what Brou said, and, welcome to CO! Fun stuff. Hope you enjoy.

If you were on last night you would have been witness to what was possibly the longest Grond rift ever.

Wombat-Man is my FF. :) I'm having more fun with him. Next up is Phil, aka Filius Sathani, the Son of Satan. In CoH, he was the "son" of a Demon called up by the Circle of Thorns that got free and went insane. Said demon thinks he actually is "the" Satan (he's not). Phil is a homage to heroes like Marvel's Son of Satan and DC's Blue Devil.

In City of Heroes, he was a Fire/Fire tank.

In CO, I made him up as a hybrid Void...completely different in powers and function, but I'm enjoying it.

When I was in high school, I made a few panels of a comic called Kombat Wombat. This was around the time (hipster moment) that TMNT was just a black and white comic book, so it was something in that vein. I made him into a PnP Champions character, but I've lost all of that hardcopy to scan. I tried to make him as a rifle blaster in CoH, but I couldn't get a build that was true to the character concept but didn't suck. I should try again with the Soldier AT (I'm still a free player).

Don't Goldies start with at least 1 FF slot?

They start with eight. Even better, every time you hit 40 on a character while subbed, regardless of if it's AT or freeform, you get a free character slot.

Xev is a new build and (currently..) looks pretty close to Leezard who has the first CO costume I ever walked into the game with. I can't find a pic of the original Leezard from CoH who was the first toon I made when coming back to CoH and inspired me to make and play and PL and raid and farm with all kinds of melee toons which was a turnaround for me due to I generally played dps or support until then, The original Leezard was inspired by an iksar (lizard. edit:  Lizards were available with the 1st EverQuest expansion, Kunark. I made Deth on the day Kunark came out) Necromancer named Dethangel who was probably my first uberish toon.

If you can't get the internal CO screenshot to work, just press your screenshot button, go to another program (like Paint), and paste the screenshot in there.

Is that head size normal for CO? The rest looks good, but his head looks sort of like one of those pins that a minifig's full size head fits onto. It's also much less shiny, almost like it's from a different picture.
(If i'm being offensive to microcephalics with that question i apologize.)
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: Xev on September 14, 2015, 05:09:47 PM
I dunno about the shininess due to the lighting and kinda small pic. Have to check when I go online again. Everything should be metal but I coulda goofed.

I can see the head size thing now that you mention it but am probly ok with it. Have to look online now that you've pointed it out. Until now, I thought Giz had a large melon (he's really small, too) but I hadn't noticed Jooc's overshadowed one - I focused more on his eyes I guess.

Gizmos is a name I actually managed to snag and keep in CoH. Lava was another good one but when I went away and came back it got changed. I had Ka-zar too but that got changed. And...  hrrrrm.. I forget atm.. Gizmos was a gem tho for a game with unique names. He was Assault Rifle/Devices.

The giant default size wreck it Ralph ham hands and clown shoes feat always bothered me more than anything. I made a template body I would load up everytime I made a new character so all of my characters basically have the same body. (except for a few that I want to be taller or shorter)
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: Xev on September 26, 2015, 12:51:01 PM
I've got a few body templates too. Huge, Beefy, Medium, Medium Small, and Giz will be my Small as soon as he gets back from melon reduction surgery. Load them up and start changing costume pieces.

Jooc and Koz (he gets costume compliments *shrug*) are Beefies, IDAK and Meaty (another CoH name snag) are Huge, Xev & Leezard are medium small (original template), everyone else but Giz are mediums. They all started from the original who I remember had real long hands before I was done with him... I spent a long time in the beginning trying to get my guys more like what I was used to in CoH.

I think what makes Jooc's head look small is that he has big armor and a plain bald head. I played around with it some before my bandwidth ran out a few days ago... *grumble* ,, and ended up leaving it. I'll probably end up finding something to emphasize it more equally eventually. Costumes never stay exactly the same as they started. Leezard is my exception. He was my first and I never have changed him and use an altered version (just swapped weapons) to play Xev.

Jooc 3.5


(https://app.box.com/shared/static/qv0i4nyd9xonp01cdvqu2ah1byyzrf7c.jpg)

The yellow fits a solar theme from the original Jooc who was "Solar powered, Baby!" and also brightens things up again. A psionic aura I had laying around (not seen here) fits him very well tinted yellow. I have it going off during combat for now (but I might try it always on which also looks good and combine it with electric aura during combat *shrug*) and it gives the effect I want. He starts to get the feel of the original Jooc, even.

The original Jooc started off bald with dark blue themes and glowy eyes too but ended up being in jeans, with a t-shirt, backwards hat, and that electric lollipop weapon (Titan Weapons). Joo know? This Jooc will probably end up with something similar to switch to at least.
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: Xev on December 05, 2015, 11:35:16 PM
'Solar' Psionic aura.

Sparkstorm gives off an aura that combines with this and I might swap Psionic to Always on and put something like legacy electric as the Combat aura. The original Jooc had multiple aura effects too.

If you care about size/proportions I bet you could get even closer to your drawing with the size/proportion sliders.

He looks ~ Gizmos' (one of my toons who is 4' something)  height to me w/ ~ the same muscle tone but he has larger proportions.

Only other thing I can think of is the cape. Have you looked at the Star Power 2 cape design? From the front like in your pics?

Just tossing that out there  : ) You captured him fine as-is.

yeah, i've been meaning to tweak his proportions a little more than i already have, but thanks for the feedback! :)
i won't be at my pc again until the 23rd, but i'll make sure to try your idea for the cape when i do

The muskels look right to me and you've already captured his look but if you are trying to match the overall size/proportion I really think shortening him a foot or so and increasing his mass a little might do the trick.

It's too bad there isn't a deeper purple skin tone. I tried 'full masks'/cloth skin with a deep purple and black emo hair and 'simple' mask for the eyes and liked the face color better but I couldn't find stubble and didn't see a way to uncover the facemask from his lips.

i guess i can't really make him shorter since i have a set height for him (6'2"), and i think the colours are fine? my art style is pretty cartoonish but i'm trying to make my character fit into the more realistic style of the mmo, so i suppose the proportions are fine too???
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed

I hear ya. I didn't know if you were trying to duplicate your drawing as well as possible....or....if it was more of a representation of the spirit of what you have in mind - which is an image only you know and we must imagine.

As one who is interpreting your drawing and the spirit you transferred to CO and CoH.... I would say you got it on both of your toons and they both have pluses and minuses in comparison to each other and the spirit I interpret in your drawing. Of course you have to be the final judge.

One thing I've noticed in CO is that just one or two uncommon costume pieces can really make a difference. One of my main guys wears 40G worth of Takofones (3) pieces  (that he won in drops and put on and I said OH HEY that's what I needed...) and he finally has a lot more of the look I had in my mind and was trying to create when I made him. Not that this applies to you at all.. Just saying.. It's early. I ramble.

Hat's off to people that are gifted with Costume Creators.. It takes me years per toon to get a look I like.


oh btw....

my art style is pretty cartoonish but i'm trying to make my character fit into the more realistic style of the mmo

Whaaa? What mmo are you playing? (I'm jiving with you don't get mad..) There are some way cool cartoon/out of this world looking toons in CO. If you made your toon look exactly(ish) like your drawing I think it would be pretty cool.

Sorry, I skimmed over that part on the first read  : )

I'm surprised no one else has chimed in yet but then again it's been quiet lately. It's fun fooling around with the costume creator sometimes but I have to be inspired and mostly still only have a small fraction of the costume pieces available in game.

Anyway, don't forget to try out that cape : ) I think you'll like it from the front but the back may not be what you want.

Yw again! My pleasure.

This would be a kinda dark but I liked it anyway pic of Reks, who, is about to ding 40, will probably get two pieces of Justice for the effort, and, is the first FF toon I have used a powerset (Electricity) twice with. Jooc is all about Gigabolt & 100' range. Reks, like Deeps, is more up close and personal.

Word is.... Reks is about to get his I dunno how many times total retcon. Every single time he changes powersets and looks, it fits, just have to see what happens next..

Meanwhile, Jooc has taken Reks' build and Deeps has taken back parts of his look. Rex was a child of Deeps and Jooc. He got an inspired variation of a look I used for Deeps for awhile and an inspired variation of a build from Jooc that was part Deeps' playstyle. That then inspired me to make Jooc even Joocier and his look and playstyle got an inspired upgrade and Deeps got his first major costume change since forever and finally has on shoes and put away his tail. As a nod to said tail.... he is wearing tails.

Anyway, word's spreading... there's a new Deeps in town.

Tyvm Kaos.

Deeps is my #1 so it is especially rewarding and fun to finally come up with something new that fits my vision of him. He for sure will not be losing his two-toed barefoot and rat-tail look either. Deeps is Senge from CoH. Senge and Jooc were always fighting for the #1 favorite spot in CoH and both had their own big shiny FUN button I could push whenever I played them. If Jooc carries on like he has, this tradition may continue. *fingers crossed* and new Jooc screenie coming  : )

This is the best I could find for Senge..

I can barely make out the bone & Skull boots and skull gloves and the yellow eyes in the belt skulls. He only has a red skull himself to simulate heat. Deeps has flaming hair since the beginning so I gave him the burnt skull that I always pictured with Senge.

*squint* It's a tiny pic but your toon seems to have a huge tongue. Slap a cape and some boots on 'em and he should be gtg.

The Darkwing Duck series... isn't it a series? A movie? The animated whatever that had Darkwing Duck.

...but it's not a reference to that anyways.

I had web pictures turned off

How does one do that?

But sure, Darkwing Duck was a series years ago last I heard, possibly a movie also.

tools/internet Options/Advanced/Multimedia/Show Pictures is how you turn off/on web pictures in Internet Explorer. It's a decent trick for saving bandwidth if you need to. I was getting random 20ish meg downloads from The Weather Channel's webpage just checking the weather due to their webpage is so bloated with videos and whatnot. It helps (usually!) when checking this thread too. Usually I can just r-click on the placeholder of the pic I want to view and hit 'show picture'. For some reason I didn't see the placeholder this time and I thought I turned pictures back on and refreshed too due to I was like 'where is the pic??' but I guess I didn't.

Latenite...

Dangit I already LOL'd twice on this. Once when I wrote the original comment and pictured smileyman with a cape and boots and once when I explained what had happened. Now it's like one of those jokes where if it has to be explained further and with more illustration then it musta not been that funny to begin with.

Sorrrrrry Nos..

Deeps is already perfection, when it comes to playing with Fire, however, since playing with Fire is just so darn fun..

I had not looked at Goldilocks for awhile but now that I do I see I stole from his costume. Some of the furry parts make nice Flame images.. Sorry GL! I know I'll end up changing..

This costume was made on my second account that has 1 Freeform slot that I finally decided to use. It has only the default Silver account costume pieces as far as I can remember. Sol is currently level 11.

First of all... For some reason I can't do screenies without the UI. Again. This problem comes and goes. Screenies with the ui just aren't as good. These are just some quick snapshots in Ren Cen and this costume looks way better in game, but, I like it so much I had to share whatever I had and this is it!


First of all... this is old Kos(moz)

(https://app.box.com/shared/static/8tljvng0i7ajgagfiznwnwnyfpxrwv9i.jpg)

And now the glorious new...

The blue is off on his tail in the last pic for some reason - it looks like the other new pic in-game. The blue on his upper shoulders (sides are white) is off in both new pics. It matches his skin in-game - looks closer to original Kos.

I intended to play as a being of cosmic energy in raw form but I didn't really intend to run around naked.

Soooooo...

Kos evolves..

(My screenies are messed up again.. I have to take them with the UI or else they come out blank. Screenies With the UI come out dark and crummy. I touched this up some but think it looks way better in game).
Title: Re: Champions Toons Revealed
Post by: Xev on November 24, 2016, 10:18:07 PM
HA! I think I just figured out why my screenies come and go.. If I turn on Post Processing (I never do but I found it on recently and turned it back off), in Video Options, my screenies work again. If I turn Post Processing off... yup, blank screenies.

Post Processing makes the above pic look way worse than being dark. The water is just a bright blue glow.

fwiw...

I am perfectly happy with the original Matchstix, but, there are juuuust enough clipping issues (mostly out of sight) to make me want to try some changes. I then tossed on a Hi-Pan aura and went deer hunting. This would be the result.

Oh and his right eye blinks, which, is pretty cool. It can be seen blinking from the back or front. I almost went with the old-timey monocle, but, the blinking eye won me over.

This would be how I spent my holiday season this year 'irl'. It started the day after Christmas and culminated on New Years Day (a Sunday, no less..) with the destruction of a ... once very useful 60' oak outside my window, and, the log bombing of landscaping, new and very old, surrounding where I live (sorry no pics of that loveliness. I only took the ones I did because my old AG professor wanted them, and, I just happened to catch the tow truck driver and the log bomber are why they are there).

https://app.box.com/s/3clukaq8wpdnilsvakefi67uyt3pdch0 (shared online storage folder with nothing but harmless .jpg's..)


First I watched ancient forest that used to belong to my grandparents get levelled to make way for a new... garden. On the less muddy side of the fence would be a tow truck driver paid by my mentally challenged dad, and, my truck, which was pulled away After log bombs were dropped from more than 30' above (pic 4).


Meanwhile, (about right in the middle of the above action) this fun moment following a Smash was brought to you by CO....

(https://app.box.com/shared/static/au5yo8ekik1j5gfu73xrnxb3ic03hyqj.jpg)


And it is one I'm proud of. At the time I was only playing this guy (I remember having the conversation in my head "This is my least uber guy, why do I play him?") because I liked looking at him. I make mediocre costumes sometimes but I was really happy with this one and it just fits. I like his out of the ordinary build that manages to work, sometimes exceptionally well (after some practice..), too.

His name is Matchstix and he has swirly lil match heads surrounding him as his always-on aura. When he attacks he lights up on fire with a fire aura, and, his weapon is a large wooden stick with a red ball on the end.. Kinda matchsticklike. And, the stick makes fire. He can also make fire by stomping his foot (Absorb Heat) and has a couple of Fire based powers that make his lil matchstick hands flame up. He's 4' tall, his matchstick weapon is like 6' tall.

What a fantabulous game it is that it could entertain me, make me smile, and even be a lil bit proud even in one of my darker hours. Thanks CO!
