    Author's Note: I have 2 costume designs for Reverse. I have not decided if I like the full arm colour or the Accent colour only.

    If you're taking votes, I personally like it with just the accent colors. Still gets the point across while not coming across as too... I dunno, obvious, or gimmicky, or something. They both look good, but I think just the accents is the best.

    I love your "Big Ben", as well. Maybe my new favorite in here. Very simple, very effective.

    I also prefer Reverse with just the accent colors. While bold colors are typical of the genre, I tend to prefer a more subtle look.

    Keep up the good work!

    I like both versions of Reverse, but to tell the truth, I kind of wanted to see one more. One that went all the way and split the colors all the way down. To me this would have shown the full evolution of the heroine. Bold, Modest, Subtle.

    And we only comment because we really like what you are doing here. :biggrin:

    Costume_Dinah_Might_Aroma_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_413570575.jpg
    Code Name: Aroma
    Real Name: Kim Henry
    Status: Hero
    Powers: Aroma can control emotions through the use of emitted pheromone. Each Pheromone has its own unique smell and can induce a variety of emotional and physical responses, including fear, anger, lust, calmness, happiness and sleep.
    Description: One of the earliest recorded examples of an Enlightened (a type of mutant whose powers active upon death), it is unclear exact how Kim died. What is known is that she was no more then 10 years old, and was playing in a forest with a few older boys. Whatever happened can not be determined due to the fact that Kim died, her powers activated, and she used this ability to cause the boys to kill themselves. A side effect of her transformation was that Kim losed all pigmentation in her skin and hair, and both her eyes and lips turned bright red. Unable to hide her transformation, the townsfolk believed her transformation to be witchcraft and blamed her for the death of the boys. Unable to control her powers, Kim's fear triggered an aroma which turned the crowd into a lynch mob. She was saved by a group of Enlightened who had recently dicovered their abilities. Under the name Aroma, kim now travels with this group of Enlightened helping other people who recently discover their abilities.

    Hey D, this is very MEGA! An inescapable character trait of mine is prejudicial favor towards classic-comic-concept-builders, like yourself, and you know I've always loved your costume designs. You have great talent for this, and since it takes me DAYS to work out a costume for one of my concepts, I am in complete awe at your ability to produce such high quality stuff so frequently! Keep it up, I'm subscribed!

    Description: Britney Cole and Tiffany Price are identicle twin sisters who were separated at birth when their single mother died during childbirth. Both girls ended with loving caring families and led well adjusted lives. However, fate would have both girls getting jobs in the same office building. Each girl would excel at their choosen profession (due to the proximity to each other), however they uncharacteristically became ruthless. Soon the girls would met, and immediately become inseparable.

    I would like to post to continue offering words of encouragement! :tongue:

    Seriously, I look forward to this every day. Just wanted to say you're not tossing these out into a vacuum. Totally awesome stuff, and I'd like to comment with something like "I totally dig this arm thingy on that guy" but really, each and every one has been great (except Wildhawk, that one did not appeal to me, but I'm sure others prolly loved it).

    Yay!!

    Actually, my designs are being offered up to be used by anyone. I will never play 90% of the charaters, and I'm never going to become a comicbook writer (Dream Job :frown:).

    Long as they know it was your design. I once had a costume that won in a contest some time ago and few days later at another, someone made a exact copy of my previous costume and was bloating how it was his original idea. There is a reason why clones are frowned upon.

    Hey Dinah,

    If someone wanted to use one of these, how would you suggest they go about it? I only ask because the file names do not seem to meet CO's norm on my PC so dropping one into the Screenshots folder does not automatically make them available in the Character Creator.

    C:\Users\Public\Games\Cryptic Studios\Champions Online\Live\screenshots

    Typically a CO Character file made on my account looks something like -

    Costume_ZedBrightlander_BetaMax_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_413077067

    Your file names are quite different. Is this because you posted them up to Photobucket or somethingelse?

    I use - Picasa at Google.com so my files remain unchanged when I post them. Since I don't use Photobucket I don't know what goes on there, but I have used other sites and some places force a re-name onto files as they are uploaded. Even here, if you post a pic to PW CORE is changes the file name which I just discovered this week.

    Again, I'm only asking because these heroes are so wonderful looking, that I'm sure folks will eventually want to use one, at the very least, as a template for one of their own.

    I thiiiiiink I ran into this problem while helping someone out with a costume before.

    What I did was copy one of my existing characters' file names and change the character name.

    So,

    Costume_ZedBrightlander_BetaMax_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_413077067

    would become

    Costume_ZedBrightlander_JusticeFace_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_413077067

    and you should be able to see it in your list. If that doesn't work, try also changing the username (this would actually be ideal, because it'll separate your costumes from others' in your list, making it easier to find).

    File names are being changed for the purpose of filing. So I can remember which ones I have used and which ones I am using later.

    However, what I have been doing is taking an existing file, copying the file name, then pasting that file name onto the subject file.

    Photobucket just updated to a new system last week, that alters the file name by adding junk. I'll have to check out Picasa then.

    Sorry for the slight off-topic, but I just ran into this a few days ago. You can turn it off. Go into your privacy tab in account settings and there should be one of the options that says something like "scramble file names when I upload." The bozos turned that on by default without telling us instead of doing what sensible people would and letting you opt into scrambling if you want to.

    should be -

    I just tried this using nothing but MS Paint and it worked perfectly.

    Have you tried invisible text?

    You know text that's the same as the background or nearly?

    There's probably a number code for a color that would work better than what the dropdown offers. :redface:

    {color=#0b0f1b} text {/color} (but with the proper brackets) will turn the text the same color as the forum background.

    Yeah, that a really cool set. No pun intended. I forget the set it comes from but I've seen it set to many colors. Lava. Earth. Ice. I took an Ice hero PAX once posted and switch it to Purple and call it Candy Mountain. Perhaps someone with more skill could figure out a way to make on more colorful, like a prism of color.

    The bio makes SB powers seem a bit like The Sandman (as in, the Spider-man villain) because he, too, can make himself hard (as stone) or soft (as dust). Hard for fighting, soft for escaping. I can even image Snow Flakes taking flight on any breeze. Not a TP CO has, but could easily create by altering Scarab Flight or Ninja Leaves Flight, maybe? Maybe call it Snow Flurry Flight. :smile:

    Author's Note: I don't really have this idea fully developed yet to give you a description of powers or personality, but I do have this idea floating around in my head. Imagine a hero, who didn't exist. She was the figment of someone's imagination. My idea was that a young girl who had the ability to bring to "life" her imagination, but only during a sleep state. Imagine this girl was hurt and placed into a medically induced coma (so the hero could be active during the day). Her last thought being that if there was a "superhero" around, that hero could have saved her from harm. Thus her mind creates the most visually beautiful female hero that she could imagine. When I imagine her powers, I feel she would have flight and Intangibility.
