So yeah, I've basically spent my entire night trying to come up with an Ice Elemental costume, But this said elemental is bound to the body of a human, and I've been trying to figure out how it would look if said elemental got 'loose' in other words taking over the character.

This elemental is supposed to be vengeful but I'm stuck right now and can't figure out how to properly portray one as I suck with costumes.

I was wondering if there was anyone willing to give me some suggestions/tips, it is the Glacier AT, thanks in advance.

This is how she looks as 'human':

This is the only thing I came up with, but it's not very ice elementalish, she's supposed to look both rough yet 'smooth' at the same time.

Here's the backstory of her: Ashley Knight or more known as Experiment #37, her past history in britain is but unknown other then the fact she was born a year before the cold war ended. At the age of 17 she signed up on what would be her worst choice in history - she signed up to test a new serum made by the now terrorist-organization VIPER.

She was to go to Canada, the travel costs were paid by VIPER and the moment she arrived in the facility, they handcuffed her and searched her. Before she was turned into Experiment #37. They were to merge the DNA of an Elemental within the body of a Human, the former experiments were a failure and #37 had the possibility of success. The experiment took atleast three years before they could finalize it, unfortunately #37 lost control and the Ice Elemental within her emerged, turning the facility into nothing but ice, the bodies of the scientists were destroyed and UNTIL appeared.

They saw what #37 had done and immediately took to action, they took the only remaining body of #37 and brought her to Millennium City and placed her in a suit meant to keep her powers in control and not lose control like before. Upon returning to her senses she was already in the custom-built armor, UNTIL members approached her and gave her the information of her background aswell as what her real name was, but that she should use her new-found powers to do good under another alias - Miss Frost.

I am by no means that much of a decent wirter and you'll have to forgive me for my english ^^

    This is probably FAR from what your looking for, but I believe it offers a few things that you might like to utilize. Any Rock Pieces can also become great for Ice Characters, but what I like to use is the Crocodile Skin. It gives the character that slimmer frosty look. The wings are kind of crazy, but do work for a magical elemental being. There are a lot of other rocky pieces that can be used if you wanna bulk her up.:tongue:

    Also, to get that Vengeful look your wanting. Make sure to change your Expression. I like the Determined Expression myself.

    I'm not sure if this is your intended backstory, but the 'human' picture made me think of a space marine who landed on an alien planet, and was possessed by a native frost spirit. It might be fun to devote a costume slot to a space marine suit, but with obvious signs of possession. The contrast of organic and tech elements could look interesting.

    Obs. I updated the first post with her backstory ( It was written a while ago though ) I think it may increase the understanding of the concept.

    I like both outfits, although in the first one it seems you're using those unlockable wings that I do not possess. I am not sure about the hair you used there, I assume it's Dogz@carrionbaggae? The outfit looks quite nice except, when she so called "Frenzies" her armor must have been entirely removed, it's as much a prison as a way to increase her abilities.

    also, what are those boots? @cptcooltastic

    I like both the costumes though. :) I could grant you the costume file if you wish.
    I'm curious in how you pulled that glowing-eye look?

    Costume file, slightly older though.

    Yep, that's the Dogz Wild Hair. Lots of other hairstyles would work well, though.

    If there's a white outline around a certain color in a costume piece, you can make that color glow by clicking it and adjusting the GLOW slider. All of the eye colors have that option. I made the pupil-and-iris area glow, and it looks like Cptcooltastic made the whole eye glow. To fine-tune it further, you can use one of the Goth makeup patterns and color the eyeshadow similar to the glowing eye. It looks like the light from the eye is bouncing off the surrounding skin.

    The feet cooltastic is using is the resistance feet. Pretty sure they arent too expensive on the AH. I may even have an extra set lying around, will check when I get home.

    One of my characters, Burnout, has a Nemesis using that sort of trick, with rock parts "breaking out" of his armor. It is indeed a cool effect.
