Or maybe just mine :D I am die hard Ghostbusters fan and have been since I was like 5. So finally I broke down and made Champions version. He is currently not in game, not even sure what power set to go with. But I also wouldn't want to get banned for playing something too close to a copyright. Anyway...

    Nice look. I made Champions universe versions of all 4 of them for a costume contest.

    Dr. Ray Stands
    Dr. A. Gon
    Pete Tankman
    Winslow Zednmore

    I'm more a concept designer than costume designer and a couple of the costumes are a little lacking something in my opinion. I don't play any of them, a couple were just made from secondary costumes slots for my current characters. Hope you enjoy my take on them.

    I will not tell how this 80's hero was created in this games costume creator because he's not a hero that playable in the game and thats why I'm not posting it as a pic that you can use to create this costume but I'm sure you can quess who he is even if he's wearing his WW2 costume.

    Nice work there. I'm totally going to try and remake that toon now. The hardest parts are the wings on the head and the stripes on his stomach .... gotta see how you did that.

    I'm guessing Photoshop? I've never seen those tights. Or the wings, for that matter.

    It looks like the wings are part of the celestial nose piece and the chest is from the brazier piece....

    Ah yeah good call on the wings. Wouldn't that cover up the A though?

    I'm not sure I've seen the brazier chest. It's just under chest wear? I don't think I've seen it for females either...

    I'll give you a hint, The wings on the head isn't showing all of that piece, part of that it hidden in his hair allowing only the wings to show from a front view. from a side view you see part of what is not hidden.. As for covering the A, its all in how you color it. the tights are just a solid color. Basicly the only coloring that I did was on the arms because they were striped also like the waist. You can use a arm accessory to cover the upper part of the arms,

    I think he may have used the corset to get the chest stripes, or maybe not, since the corset would go higher, maybe he used chest wear in conjunction with the trident chest pattern.

    I just have to say, Photoshopped. Pixels told me so.

    If you have a chest wear piece, which I thought as well, then you lose the ability to place an emblem on the chest. Instread you get that raised circle piece which you can place an emblem on.

    I'll be very upset to hear this is just photoshopped. Please tell me now if it is.

    Captain America is not from the 80's, and to be honest the only heroes from the 80's I can remember are He-man and She-ra.

    The orginal post was threadjacked. See the first post (It's about Ghostbusters)

    I must admit that ghostbusters are heroes, I was wrong mixing hero with superhero. But the post I quoted has a somebody very similar to Captain America.

    Sorry do be the bearer of bad news.

    100% Photoshopped chest.

    Look really close, and you can see that the entire chest area is recolored. The proof? You can see the rest of the trident logo to the sides of the star. It's like an L on the right side of his chest, and a backwards one on his left.

    Edit: DMenacer, learn to use Hue/Saturation better. ;)

    A much easier way to fake this would be to save the costume file with the trident chest, and then save it with a plain blue chest with the star on it. Paste the image of the one with the star over the trident one in a separate layer, then erase where you wanted the trident stripes to show up, and the layer beneath will show through.

    Much less trouble than you went through. :D

    Venkman's ability to afford that New York flat in GB2 while only hosting a local access cable psychic show HAS to be some sort of super power. :D
