I could use some advice on a costume I want for one of my toons. Right now I have these 2.

The first one I wanted as kind of a color reversal of the first, with somewhat of an angelic look to it, but the halo that is currently available didn't look quite right. Also, given that purple, green, and orange are my favorite colors I want to keep them. The second picture has been updated, and she now has purple lightning on her legs. I tried putting the same leopard spots on the first one, but they were too fuzzy looking. I wanted to have more of very small dark purple spots. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, sorry. Do you know a good easy one I could use?
Imageshack
Photobucket.

And her alt costume.

It's hard to see because Imageshack trashes up their site with adds that are all in your face and I don't want to look at Modern Warfare 14 or whatever regurgitation of staring down the sights of an M4 is out this month.
Thanks I had that at first, and I might try doing it again, but I wanted to put something a little different than just the black with very light spots on it. It seemed to need something, and the lightning storm pattern seemed nice. Currently she has a medium light purple for the lightning.
For the second costume my idea is that when she is like that she is at full power, and perhaps she becomes that way also when angry(very angry, maybe somewhat like Super Saiyan). I wanted it to be somewhat of just a color scheme reversal, and maybe some angelic look to it, but the halo didn't fit too well, maybe some kind of crown or tiara might giver her the look I want.
I also wanted to keep the spots, was going for an outer space kind of look, and wanted to invert it, but the leopard spots are too fuzzy for the lighter colors.
The original character is somewhat inspired by Alien X from Ben 10 Alien Force, but I wanted a bit more color, and a bit more character.
As for ImageShack, do you think that Photobucket would be a better place for me to use, so that the image isn't distracted from?
ETA: If I ever get some good high heels for the "beast legs" I would love to change both costumes to incorporate that, she is an alien after all. Which is why in the Star Burst mode, I gave her the noseless appearance, with the alien type. If I ever get another character slot, I would like to make an ice tank, and I am thinking something both regal, and undead, with lots of white, and some very light blue mixed in.
Edit: Photobucket doesn't handle file names with spaces, so be sure it has _ or - when uploading a renamed file. It doesn't have a problem with CO's saved file names.

Will have to complete Aftershock then. Would think that that might look more demonic than angelic though, but we'll see. I will check out photobucket, and the renaming tool.

I quite like the first one, I fulfilled a request for signs of the zodiac at one stage that might give you an indication of how you might use the standard black/white with highlight pieces (Sagittarius, Libra etc.)
Although, for this one I would possibly consider the swirl pattern with metallic effect. Possibly consider using the other types of wings that don't look like bird wings? If it's a cosmic type entity the bird wings don't fit - for me - conceptually.
Champions Online has the best character creator - check out some of my creations in Killi's Consolidated Costume List !
Thanks for the input. Yeah, cosmic is mostly the concept, but I want the Star Burst costume to have an angelic feel, I think that the Nephilim Wings might fit better, but right now what is available doesn't quite fit. I think I am going to put in the beast legs once I get some better high heel options for them. She is supposed to be an alien after all, and they certainly add a feel that is very different from the normal legs.
