Reviving 'show your best costumes' thread

[MisterMagpie]

I missed it, and now that we've got a souped up costume creator on our hands, I'm gonna start us off again.

Here's mine:

I made human versions of my mastermind's robots. Well, three of them:

Heidi the assault bot.

https://images.weserv.nl/?url=hero.thefannish.org%2Fimages%2FTurnarounds%2FHeinrichgrimm.jpg
Heinrich the protector bot.

https://images.weserv.nl/?url=hero.thefannish.org%2Fimages%2FTurnarounds%2FHansgrimm.jpg
Hans the battle drone.

Show me yours! This was my favourite thread to look at back on the old forum.

Here are some of mine.

Now you have me curious about the "OHGODWHAT" costume.

Now you have me curious about the "OHGODWHAT" costume.

I will admit I am somewhat crazy with file names.

EDIT:

Sending you the pic via PM. This isn't NSFW or anything, but.. it would tarnish the purpose of this thread.

I might make a separate thread for "freaky costumes", seeing as I found I have an edited costume with civilian animations on it.. with no legs.. :o

[The Fifth Horseman]

Your pics don't show, Arachnion. :p

[MisterMagpie]

Ooh. I like the Data Corruption Mage a lot.

A bolt of lighting hits a Crey junkyard, full of old discarded technology.  And Scrapyard Bot is born!   Mace/Shield Brute.

https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/scrap_zps90d80968.jpg



I created this character not long after I watched "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" - modeled after Quartermain.   Very, very surprised the
name Safari was still available.  AR/Fire Blaster.

https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/safari_zps70b710ce.jpg



An Elemental Spirit with command over the Earth's vegetation and weather.    Plant/Storm Controller

Neverglade

https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/neverglade_zps1437de2f.jpg



I created this character fairly early, mothballed him, then finally leveled him to 50 when I heard the game was going to end.  My Dark/Dark defender-
Doc Midnite.


https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/midnite_zps198306c0.jpg




My Dark/Dark Corrupter,  Lantern.    I got into a nasty argument with the GMs when I tried to reroll him as a blaster, and found changes to the naming filter wouldnt allow me to use the name I already had.  They insisted that "Lantern" was too close to "Green Lantern".
I let my subscription run out for several months, I was so furious.  The last GM was fairly nasty with his responses.

Kazam!   One of the few toons I had on Virtue server.  Always had problems finding teams there, which is why she never got max levelled.
Electric/Electric Blaster

https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/kazam_zpsf10f0d2d.jpg



My Nature Affinity/Ice Defender, Flora Frost.   Nice effects, but the combo just didnt work well together.

https://i1351.photobucket.com/albums/p797/krkestner/City%20of%20Heroes%20Reference%20Shots/flora_zps3dcf9b29.jpg



The Boz Man.    A really evil, evil man.   :) Never could bring myself to bring him over to the Light Side.   Thugs/Traps MM.

Waxon Waxoff  - based off the Karate Kid.   I was once in a PUG for almost about half an hour, when someone in the group sent me a tell.
"You know, I just now figured out your name!"
I almost fell out of my chair laughing.  :)

I had a few favorites...

In the "classic bodysuit" category, Aken the Peacebringer had a look I really liked... and the distinction of using four colors rather than my usual three. (The suit's dark bits are dark blue, while the armor's are black. That's hard to see in this screenshot.)

Under the "looks like a space pirate" heading, it's a tie between Hadrian (the only guy in my crew who managed to make that hair look good-) and Whisper (Who just rocks that coat in ways none of the other birds did-). XD

In the rolls of "looking like he wants to eat something's face", my much beloved tank Palrah and his spikey Rularuu "true form" have to get a mention...
https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F2-SoldierOfRularuu.jpg

My favorite attempt at making a player character look like an NPC? That has to be the Electrical Dominator version of Red Cardinal, my red-side stalker's Adept side-kick...
https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F3-HavingAWordWithTheBoss.jpg

Favorite martial arts outfit? That would belong to Shade in Shadow, my Loyalist Praetorian KinMelee stalker...
https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F3-Shade.jpg

I only had one character who managed to pull off the flashy Incarnate armor... Mostly because she didn't wear much of anything else.
https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F8-FlashyArmor.jpg

... and finally, my favorite "fancy" outfits. The Nemissary and his Unquiet Bride, in their "Courtiers of the Queen of the Dead" outfits. The Bride's has the distinction of being the only costume I ever won a costume contest with.

Didn't have a name yet, but, had this mocked up for a Rad/Rad tanker.

Love him!

Here's the ones of mine that got the most compliments:

Those frog costumes are right on the money, MisterMagpie!

I'm not on my computer, and I don't even think I still have the files if I was... let me see if I can dig it up on DeviantArt...

Again, I'm not at my computer (nor will I be for a while), so I'll have to give you a link.

My main in (close to) her final outfit. I was always fiddling with it, but the best variations were always the ones that were closest to the original. TBH I ruined the outfit some of the time. After this was made I changed the chest plate to the small IDF one and I'm pretty sure that I'd changed the darker part on the belt to match the lighter to streamline it, but I still like how this looks.

(If someone would be so kind as to give me the image location I'll edit this post.)
(For those interested, I do have one poor photo of her after the aformentioned changes: http://www.virtueverse.net/vv/images/7/79/BulletBarrage1.png)
