Fun fact - if I were given Hawkwing model and told to actually design a physical toy out of it, something that can be done in plastic and keeps proportions during transformation, this costume isn't how I'd do it.
I'd go completely different route.
Can you see how it splits into vehicle parts?
I'm not submitting it as a contest design, since, obviously, with this kind of proportions it can't be a costume.
There's a reason why Hawkwings are my favorite rides (well, actually they're the ONLY vehicles I like). Their models have great toy potential.
Wings are blocky and thick, they can be split into hands and you don't have this entire huge wing kibble typical for all classic transformable mechas with alternate jet modes.
This is nearly kibble-free vehicle mode.
its ok to reference stuff other people posted, but remember to actually submit your stuff in the thread made for submissions.
Personally, I hope the variable robot wins (Well ideally id like my own entry to win but all contestants can say the same) because it has a costume piece i want really badly, tech based blade hands. We have none of that currently, its all organic and monster-ish.

I'm so down with Meeda's ideas, it's not even funny.
I don't mean a copy but I like the mouth and the overall design of it. There is currently no way to mimic a mouth protection/cover like the one in the image above (with the pronounced chin).
I have a few ideas for costume sets, but I'm curious to see which one the CO community would be more interested in.
I have an Idea for a set I call The TaskMaster. It would involve tights that have buckles and straps, as well as hooks strategicly placed. There would be a set of bladed boots, and bracers with hooks on them (CO has several bladed ones, but no hooks). This is basicly a Dom/Sub set, with lstrappy boots and gloves for everyone to make use of.
The second set is just Techstuff. A back piece with glowing cannisters, chest wear with glowing fluid pipes, a clear faceplate, and a nice pair of high heeled rocket boots. I'm going for something like a hightech HAZMAT suit, with a lot of glows and multipurpous tech gear. No name for this set.
I have a set I'm just calling Creepy Crawlers. It would involve techno-organic pieces, a set of tentacles trailing off the back, and a general biotech feel.
The last set I'm calling Aranae. It would involve more realistic looking spider web costume pieces, in a full set. A spider-style crown with veil, spider earrings and collar, a blouse with a cout out that is filled in with webbs, long gloves, a cape of spider gauze, chest and back plates that loot like spiders gripping the character, with similar shoulder and leg plates, and a goggle set that has eight eyes. It would have pieces for both genders.

Creepy Crawlers sounds like something many people could put to use. The Aranae may need a slight tweak to fit both genders. How about more of a "Spider Knight" armor feel to cater to the males, while throwing a black widow theme to the more female oriented parts?
Love those two ideas though.
EDIT: The Aranae goggles could also be adapted into a "Spider Face" helmet for alternate parts to use.
I want a 'mech spider' costume, to be honest. I mean, with like... a few of these submissions, someone could cobble together a badass Spider costume thing.
All it requires is a visual component and a written description. So why don't you use one of your Chibi bodies as a template for the costume and then bulk up the written descriptions for each part.
AC
I would like to see more mask/helmets like the spider-armor costume...
but honestly... Ironman-esque armor is one of the few armored up styles we have a plethora of.
and "armored tights" look (what you describe as "sleek") is already possible, and SIMPLE in the CC:
this is just an outfit with chest gear and hips gear that are "basic" and then given a pattern and textured, with an underlined-striped tights underneath, shoulder pads, thigh pads and any one of the armored boot designs (or you could swap out the leg pads and boots with holo armor, if you wanted it even sleeker)
the only SLIGHT challenge would be the mask, but if you just used the 90's mask and made the cheek-pieces significantly darker than the rest of the face plate, it would lok very similar...
about the only thing we CANT currently do, for this costume... is have "full chest emblems".... or the painted emblems at all on the chestwear.
but, that said, you can have all the various, currently available tights patterns... so you can give it something of an emblematic look.
Hello Heroes.
It's probably a little late for this but if you want to submit a male costume set but can't draw, I drew this template up at work. Pretty straightforward pose, standard body type and proportions for a four colour hero. Simplest method is to print it out and trace or draw over top of the original form. I have no real experience with digital illustration but it should work the same.
Feel free to use it for whatever purposes, I just thought it might help a bit.
AC
Ps. I like the long hair for males selection a lot.

I have a Spider costume, along with other bug stuff in my Costume Set. Yes, it's badly drawn, but it's awesome. You just mix other stuff with it and you can make mecha spiders and whatever.

Personally I think the art of those pieces is jaw dropping, but the whole robot<->vehicle concept is too restrictive.. I know it is possible to mix n match, but the other set he designed is way more appealing to me. Of course my opinion means nothing..
It would be great if devs took time to implement, say the 3 winner costumes, or have categories and implement the winner of each one. Just one would satisfy too few people. It is a missed opportunity to reduce the colossal effort all these people put into their submission to.. a robot costume, and people who don't like robots -i like robots- get nothing.
Just with the submission thread, Cryptic doesn't even need a designer anymore.. I would love all of them. Yes, even the pony one.
Sadly, such will be the case with every costume set. People who don't like magic or animals will get nothing if magical or bestial set is picked.
It is a missed opportunity to reduce the colossal effort all these people put into their submission to.. a magic costume. Or tactical costume. Or bestial costume. Or ANY costume, since it is impossible to cover all tastes and something always will be lost.
I hope Cryptic will use this whole contest idea and keep even non-winning entries as possible future ideas. There are certainly more ideas than can fit into not only one, but ten costume sets.
Oh, considering that inspiration for Champions were superhero comic books, I'm mildly surprised how few people recognised shtick behind the Cosmic Knight concept.

This is what I'm saying. I personally think the game has far too much mysticism and fantasy already. I'm probably not going to be as excited for some of these things to take the win. But that's just my opinion, and that's all it really is. Everyone's entitled to like what they like and that's totally cool by me.
I'd even go as far as to say that I'd spend money on something to support this idea... unless it's 'girls only/guys only'. I've made a vow to never give Cryptic a red cent toward anything that's gender-specific.
I'm hoping too, that they pick more than just one entry. Of course I want mine to win, but there are a lot of other entries I like and would certainly buy.
(But I also hope that every entry used is rewarded to the creator with at least with some ZEN or a free copy of of the set. )
Personally I think the art of those pieces is jaw dropping, but the whole robot<->vehicle concept is too restrictive.. I know it is possible to mix n match,
I don't find that idea too restrictive, On the contrary, I already have many ideas if that set wins.
I'd be psyched to see pretty much all of these costume sets implemented at some point in the game. But in regards to the contest, I think with the common themes that are appearing there should be five sets released, an animal focused one, a robotic/sci-fi one, a military one, a fantasy one, and a misc parts one (ie: hair, or accessories or casual clothing theme). That way there's a set that covers a vast majority of what people have been wanting to see, and allows for LOTS of purchases to be made for those that may only want one or two of the winning sets, or those who want all five. Of course I do think that the winning designers should get their own set for free at the very least, and then cryptic can rank those 5 based on total votes as their top winners to get Zen in addition.

if it hasn't been obvious.... I'd really REALLY like to see some new tights in the game. I cant help feeling like most other costume sets are sort of one shot deals with very little traction outside of their very narrow theme. Tights, though, are kind of universal... as long as you can find decent things to pair the individual parts with, they become the foundation of hundreds or thousands of different looks, instead of a bunch of characters all looking the same, with whatever the new set is...
So, hopefully some of the more "tights" looks make it through to the final voting.... I know they're probably not as exciting as some of the more ambitious entries... but for me, personally, they have a lot more value.

You misunderstood. I didn't say "it's a waste to pick a robot costume.". I said "it's a waste to only have one winner."
Has anyone had a chance to look at my preliminary stuff and form an opinion? I am gonna hammer it all down Friday and Saturday and get it in by Sunday, so some commentary/suggestions/requests would be good. Thank you all in advance.
I actually searched the submission thread and couldn't find your post so maybe most people missed it the first time. I wouldn't wait for feedback though, get it posted and don't forget your written description part. For the record I did find the links eventually and like the spider headress.

I like the arachnid-type stuff. I know a lot of people that came from 'another game' would gladly appreciate it as well.
I really really love the spider stuff. Last wek I saw about 20 spiders in city center. So hopefully they pick one of the spiders like @novarockz or the human spider.
It might be useful for Cryptic to do an Arachnid Set. After all they have both former COX players and Spider Man fans to sell it to. Not to mention the hype over the next Amazing Spiderman Movie.
Agentcanada, I haven't submitted mine, yest. I posted some links on page 18 of this thread asking for feedback. It isn't finished. I was going to try to incorporate some changes and clean up the linework Friday and Saturday. I was trying to give people a chance to have some input on my design, if they wanted something specific. Trying to be a community player.
That's cool, like I said I found the links eventually. I meant more that I don't think people were ignoring you, more that they might have missed the links having been posted in the commentary section.

Honestly, I was about to put these markings on heavy tank parts with camo:
But I overdid amount of other details and there was no place left for emblems.
