My entry for the contest is the Flesh & Bone set. All pieces are intended for both male and female characters. None should have built in undertinting, which often makes them impossible to properly match with existing pieces.
The Flesh portions may be set as either Skin or Tights. If set as Skin, the player may choose skin, leather, metal or oiled as the material, but the color should be slaved to whatever color they picked for their character's skin color. The Tights option provides cloth, leather, and metal as material options, and allows for use of the standard pallette.
Belly Pieces : These should be placed in the new Belt Accesory slot, allowing them to be used with both Belts and Chest Wear. Yes, this can result in clipping, but properly used clipping is one of the most valueable tools in creating a unique look. The pieces attach at the ribcage for the top control vectors, and at the pelvis for the bottom ones, scaling is controlled by those bones as well.
It would indeed be epic if the same spring-system bones could be used for the larger two bellies as with the droopy antenae on the huge helms, but that may not be feasible.
A) Snicka+ : Good for a beer-gut, middle-aged, or for a female character that doesn't have an hourglass figure.
Buddha : This is what happens when you sit under a bodhi tree all day pounding Twinkies instead of meditating.
C) Blob : You're not "plump", you're not "jolly", you're frickin' HUGE.
D) Multi Chin : A neck piece. Attaches to the jawline at the top, and the clavicle at the bottom.
E) Jowls : Head Side accessory. Top attaches to the cheekbones, bottom to the lower jaw.
The Bone bits may be set as cloth, leather, or metal, just as the existing skull and hand pieces are.
F) Torso : This is available as a torso option (not chestwear) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Arms.
G) Arms : Available (right, left or both as appropriate) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Arms, selected as one would arm type (Robotic, Hydraulic, Steampunk, etc.).
H) Legs : Available (right, left or both as appropriate) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Legs, selected as one would leg type (Robotic, Hydraulic, Steampunk, etc.).
I) Pelvis : As the Torso above, save as an option under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Legs.
J) Feet : A foot option, available for any leg type.
3) Glowing bracer blades, the blades in Grey have an option to be glowing or not.
4) Leg accessory, glow able red bits
5) Metal Arachnid Boots, boots that protect the Knee as well as your feet while you're on the move.
6) Full mask, also available in hats and helmets, half masks, full masks, full helmets and rigid helmets. Mouth accessory may be compatible in these categories with the mask.
7) A back accessory that has 4 spikes attached to it, the back accessory sits around the head to cover the chest partially as well as the back. The Back spinal cord looking thing is attached to the back accessory, making it ONE piece.
8) Glowing tights that express your inner arachnid!
9) Additional mouth accessory that is available with the different masks. This mouth piece should be able to be worn in any category of wear that the helmets/ face masks are available in.
10) Alt helmets within the pack, to scare off your predators!
A small pile of scraps, but whatever. Tossing them in anyway
I apologize for the cutoff, my scanner is way too small, but I kept most of the visual in there. You're only really missing out on my bad handwriting.
Robotic Eyes and More (title pending)
Mostly what I came up with is making eye textures for various types of displays used in electronics, such as seven segment digital displays, oscilloscope/CRT displays, Nixie (cold-cathode display) tubes, dot-matrix, automotive headlights etc. The eyes are mostly textures, the exceptions being maybe the oscilloscope should have a measurement grid diffuse over it to give it the scope sort of look, as well as the Nixie eyes having a grid over them and having a glass eye bubble to go over each of them as well, to stay with the look (I suggest googling Nixie tube or Cold Cathode Display, to get a better idea. They're so pretty!). All eye textures would have glows, and there is quite a bit of potential for lots of different patterns of eyes using the same basic effect, for example, the dot matrix and seven-segment templates and coloring in the dots/segments differently for easy to produce variations on the texture.
Other parts in this set are kind of slapped together because nobody would really want to buy a set that consists of just eye textures alone, so we have several parts for the head, and aa back piece.
Ribbon Cable: Head wear, is just a simple color-coded ribbon cable folded and scrunched up a bit on the head. Could be female only.
Inductor hair: Metal ribs/retainer with tightly packed, parallel wires underneath it, could be a hair piece, part of a full head, or just a top accessory.
Side caps: Bigger side caps, with a plate design on them. Screw and glow details etc.
Tube back: Headwear/head accessory. Think of a television that has been removed from the housing. It has a long neck going back to the copper wire coil that's used to control the image. Now imagine one of these jutting out of the back of your head.
Antenna head accessory: Pretty generic, just has a collapsing antenna (like a car's) sticking up, no jigglebones.
Vent nose: Scalloped vents replace the nose, I don't know what slot to use it for, maybe just integrate it with a new head design or something lol
Mouth display: Works mostly like the eye textures, it's a display and maybe has alternate textures for different display styles like LED, dot matrix, holographic, oscilloscope waveforms, etc. Pardon the terrible slapped-together drawing.
Antenna backpack: Again, car collapsible antenna, stuff like capacitors and wires and gauges and stuff stuck all over it. Could have a possible antenna option of a jigglebone spring antenna that's ridiculously tall, like those seen on the cars at ham radio conventions (lots of people in the bay area seem to have these...)
Another note on those really tall antennae, Jiggling shoulderpad-mounted antennae could be pretty sweet.
Hopefully some of these can be of some use in the future, I've been thinking about how much I want more eye types recently.
two lines of plain text
the best kind of signature
Future Agent is the name of this set. All based on super-tech, future-stuff, shootin' thangs, all that. The set features skin-tight body armor (tights patterns), hardmetal noggins, glowy turbine back-pieces, discrete chest armor and back protection, and a neck-slot tech cowl. Also, chunky tech gloves and boots.
The gimmick to this set is the "smart weapon." It's basically a transformer weapon, which transforms to the most convenient attack style suited to the situation at hand. It can be a pistol, sub-machine gun, assault rifle, shotgun, sniper rifle, and melee weapon, meant to adapt to a Future Agent's fighting style and preferences.
In-game, this would serve the munitions guy who doesn't want to be carrying a half-dozen weapons. Close combat, assault, lasers, rockets, sharpshooting, everything else? One weapon.
Smart Weapons for adaptable combat, sleek and discrete armor for total maneuverability and maximum protection. Future Agent.
Textures for this set would include sharp angle and straight line designs, as seen in the tights and the female's helm and bracers. Not pictured, but I would also add a sort of "rebel" agent look, with warpaint-style designs and markings.
All of the upper-body pieces should be designed to work together or on their own, and should thus clip through each other to form a clean appearance.
Individual Costume Parts:
Head
Full Helm and Partial Helm. The Neck textures would be part of a thin metal-looking Partial Mask, that would follow the design of both body Tights shown above.
Chest Breastplate with several insignia choices in the (unmarked) circle on the breastplate.
Back Power Turbines. These simply go over the shoulder, and would have small vents on the back side (back side not pictured).
Neck Tech Cowl.
Long Gloves Thick, bulky gloves, with several gadgets around the wrists.
Feet Thick, bulky boots, with rear vents/thrusters meant to compliment rocket boots, rocket jump, or any other non-superpowered travel power dealing with speed or agility.
Not Pictured:
Hips Tech Subligar, similar in design to Breastplate.
Leg Accessory Armor plates, similar in design to Breastplate.
Weapons Smartweapon. The set would have a variant of the same weapon, using the same base pistol. It would have a variant for all Munitions weapon types, (well, not sure about minigun and rocket launcher, but that would be cool), all Gadgeteering weapon types, and also for single blade and dual blade. Not too sure about Heavy Weapons. Maybe a secondary heavy smartweapon could be designed for Rocket/minigun/heavy weapon.
I think it is time for a gridded digital costume set [CYBERNIX COSTUME SET AS I CALL IT] The grids should be allowed to glow. For maximum effect.
In this set, your character doesn't live in the digital, the digital lives in your character!

Okay, first I want to start by saying that I have seen some very good submissions and look forward to seeing the top five selected. Now without any further delay, here is my submission:
I wanted to create something anime inspired, or more specifically JRPG inspired. I envisioned the set to be completely unisex. So lets start by breaking down the various pieces:
Anime Hair
I went with a generic, but yet very JRPG themed hairstyle. I think it fits the over-all costume and maintains a very anime quality.
Un-tucked Shirt
Some of the most badest dudes in anime and JRPGs have their shirts untucked. I don't know what it is, but somehow poor dress habits make for powerful fighters.
Fur-Collared Jacket
Originally I designed this to have fur cuffs and lining on the bottom as well. Then it drove me crazy drawing it and I said, "Forget this!" and went with what you see here. Not the happiest with the final look, but it is what it is.
Pugilists Gloves
Fingerless, metal plated gloves for when you really want to punch someone's ticket. I also figure they can come in full-fingered variant.
Loose Belt w/ Chains
Wanted to give the lower half something to make it look a little less plain. So I added a loos belt to match the messy shirt and some chains for some extra cool.
Baggy Tucked Pants
Pretty self explanatory. Just a very baggy pair of pants tucked into the boots. Think the baggy jumpsuit pants that are currently in game, worn tucked in.
Buckled Platform Boots
I kind of went crazy here. I looked up some goth boots for inspiration, threw some metal plating and a knee-plate that matched the gloves and viola! These boots were made for stompin'.
I had also wanted a really cool, massive, crystal sword. But I ran out of time ( and patience ) drawing stuff so I will give a sample pic from another source and try my best to describe it.
Crystal Sword
The idea was to have a large sword with a transparent, crystalline blade. The crystal could be hued and given glow option. I envisioned it as both a Heavy Weapon sword as well as a Single or Dual-Blade compatible piece, as often times in anime and JRPGs the hero can wield a massive sword as if it were a normal blade.
That is my submission, and I thank you all for taking a look.
Ok, it took quite a while but I'm done. So, I present to you...

"For the impaired, defense is the best offense. Still, they can kick loads of *ss."
The Blind Ranger set takes insperationfrom several things, a bit of Dark Ages a bit more Medieval times and an almost not noticable amount of steampunk.
You are broken, dragged your legs and tools through the lands of Terra. The ages have past you like the wind of spring and winter, all too soon.
But through your loss of sight, let it be actual sight or the ability to see yourself, you have balanced it out by ability and skill.
Let's start with the torso to the left. The "Ranger's Shirt". Inspired by the simple yet fashionable wear of Medieval times, this shirt of cloth and rope sports nice detail in the form of chainmail underneath it. While chainmail itself exists in this game, I still feel we should be able to get a bit more creative with it.
The costume part itself is not chestwear, but rather the chest itself. It can be selected amongst the thights, the skins, the shirts, the sci-fi wear and victorian vests as an base for a nice costume.
The shirt's sleeves are folded up so that more of the chainmail can be seen. The chainmail's "entrance" is close to the start of most basic arm acessories and "ends" at the wrist. Thus most of it could be covered with long gloves or bracelets.
Around the neck we see a chainmail cowl which could either be considered part of the piece or it's own seperate costume part. Maybe even both?
Under the cowl at the start of the shirt, beside the "X", we see two strings hanging out to adjust the shirt piece so it wont be too thick or too thight.
This piece can be Cloth, Leather and Metal alike.
Moving on to the right of the costume part/s we see a vest. Ignore the arms, they are not sleeves but there for demonstration, as this is indeed a vest. This is the "Ranger's Vest".
Once a thick coat for exploration, mind you this should remove most "shape" on men as women, the sleeves have been taken away to allow the piece to be used in most climate that isn't too hot or too cold. This piece comes in cloth, leather and metal and happens to be an actual chest piece that. Mind you that the shirt mentioned above should be able to be used alone and with chest pieces, including this one.
Five buttons are on the vest, one of them hidden away by an belt that could be used as an makeway bandolier (Pictured are not pockets of any kind, but they were planned) or to keep back piece up and hanging. Just behind the neck we see something close to a "collar" though I must say that while it is slightly "bent around" the neck it stays mostly behind it. It is placed there to protect the back of the neck for most basic attacks and damages.
Between the shirt and the vest, just above the two we see a bandana that has is to be moved around the head and tied into a nice knot pirate style. Unliked the bandanas most like already in the game *COUGH* this one is long enough to cover the eyes and top of the nose AS WELL as being thick enough to be used for simple humanoid heads AND HELMETS alike. They look nice, keep the wearer warm and make sure the blinded do not need to get stinged in the eyes by the sun.
An alternate pattern is present here just beside it, blank eyes. While usually solid, two colorable eyes could be added to the piece to give the illusion of sight or to look like Iron Fist. Cough! This has been "The Ranger Bandana", cloth leather and metal all in store.
To the right of the vest are two skirt patterns that I believe are not in the game already. Kilt, for women and men alike and chainmail, also for men and women alike.
While chainmail skirts were not ALWAYS used, they could be used with the chainmail pattern already in the z-store / with the Ranger Shirt to give the illusion that the chainmail shirt is quite long.
ClothLeatherMetal-Irk.
Continuing on, the belt is a "Ranger's belt". Obviously, I have said the word "Ranger" quite a lot by now so we need to keep in mind that this is no civilian knight playing adventure but an survivor through the ages. Blind or not blind, you have learned to not only make your own weapons and armor but also your own food and medicine. Whatever you might hunt or find, these pockets and vial holders should suffice for at least the most small and important utilities. To the right, your left, of the belt a medium sized pouch hangs to carry even more loot and on the back of the belt a slightly bigger pouch presents itself.
Perhaps carrying a cook book? Yum!
All materials are accepted. But leather looks the coolest.
Under all of this we see our first weapon! (Unless you peeked on the axes, jerk)
The Ranger's Shortblade is inspired by the lands of the East. It is not as long as most longswords, hence the word SHORTblade, but it is not a butterknife either. It is good for taking care of close enemies from behind and front and also for opening up animal prey and start looting for foods.
Hanging from it is one of those fancy hanging thing's. The name escapes me. Would be super awesome if your physics engine actually allowed it to move around with your swings though!
Gloves and gauntlets. For the short AND long gloves, I present to you the chainmail pattern. AS said before, chainmail is already buyable. Chainmail gloves are not.
I want to wear more chainmail now, chainmail is cool.
Under it it my favorite. The Ranger's Gauntlet! Sporting three belts holding it nice and thight, thise baby could serve you good in metal and leather alike! And.. cloth too, I guess.
Scalloped armor can be seen on the fingers, protecting every inch and making sure that any punches given "CUT" to the action. Heheh~
Scalloped armor is alsy pressent on the back of the hand itself, three layers.
Ah, the "Ranger's Boots"!
While I do realize more pouches being present would be swell, I didn't want to overcook my attempt to be noticed. Therefor I sticked to a simple yet trusty design. Hopefully this thick baby is slim enough to be used on thights, shorts and pants alike. God I would love this thing with actual warm pants!
Before we contine, left upper corner. There is a vial. That is the vial that should be hanging on the Ranger belt. Just thought I'd mention it!
Axes! For wood! For animals! For plants!
And suckers.
Can't forget suckers.
Yes, a smaller tomahawk for the basics and a bigger axe for the real deal. The bigger axe (that isn't it's name though) has an sharp edge to it for punctuating... unmentionables and other soft areas on your enemy. Use it with honor!
The helmet. The Ranger's Helmet. The BLIND Ranger's helmet. For protection. For style. For most time periods where helmets are not wierd and socially unacceptable.
This is my favorites favorite.
Make it an helmet pattern, make it it's own seperate helmet part. I DON'T CARE, JUST PLEASE USE IT I REALLY WOULD LOVE THIS THING AND I WOULD PAY MONEY EVEN IF I WON IF I COULD USE IT OH GOD JUST GIVE IT TO ME!
Achum. Several layers. Screws here and there. No actual visor present, hence "Blind" in the title but an "visor" like area exist and could be colored for your liking.
For knighs and basic hunters alike!
my precious
And yes. A shileld to be sported on the back for added protection from behind. It's practical, it's fancy and it brings all the people to the yard. The handle to the shield can be seen to the lower right of it, just before the gloves and boots.
Have fun. And please add some more, I wasn't too creative here.
Also, the numbered ones (1, 2 and 3) are patterns AND details!
1. is... well I got no name for it. It's basic and could look good if an emblem could be placed there. OH YEAH, EMBLEMS ON THE SHILED WOULD BE THE SHIP.
2. Is Bolts. Bolted. Pretty basic.
3 Abd wood. Wooden. Can be used with any pattern, just like 1 and 2... The pattern version should probably be called "Basic stripes" or something. Shrug.
Now while I am at it, I want to mention that I did take a picture of the shiled being ACTUALLY used. I unfortuantly lost it and the deadline is to scary for me to dare to take another picture of the sketch so let me explain. Please?...
The shiled should be able as an wrist/bracer part as well, pointing in several directions. One version should have the spiky "bottom" of the shield pointing up. Thus, if the player wears it on their left wrist they should be able to get the illusion that something.. EHEHE, sorry, is actually protecting them from bullets.. lasers.. knifes.. and etc. I mean come on, we got the MCPD running around in shields! Lucky bastards.
For people in love with gloves, aka me, please include a version or two for long gloves where the shiled has been set together with the "Ranger's gauntlet" model. It would look very nice and the gauntlet can be used for most time periiods and characters, saving you the need to have SEVERAL LONG GLOVE ALTERNATIVES TO ONE SHIELD MODEL.
Also, a version for short gloves too! These will be ACTUALLY HELD by an static humanoid five finger hand that doesn't change it's pose at any time. This is so that the player can pretend that they are melee bashing the shiled into enemies, in case they have a power for punches.
ALSO, sorry... I know too many bersion but still!
Please also consider adding a weapon version for claws/Night Avenger. Thus you can slash away with your shield at unsuspecting bad guys!
Also weapon version for sword powers. Just saying, would look cool.
The first is a pattern for thights and pants alike! "Ranger Lines" I guess. It looks cool.
AS you can see the lines are colorable and an alternative pattern with "X" stiches exist as well. IT be cools.
AND THEN THERE IS THE "RANGER'S RIDER PANTS". LOOKS CLOSE TO ANY OTHER COSTUME PIECE? CANT HEAR YOU.
(Just kidding, it is familiar to some in the editor.. but it should be original enough. I think)
It's not too different from... those.. pants that cowboys wear.. this name escapes me as well, sorry.
The.. hanging pants thing is held together by reasons and two belts by the.. ankles?
*Googles the translation of the word*
Yeah! Ankle! Where the foot starts! Right?
Several different belts are seen under the pants handing thing, holding onto a pair of thights. I think it looks nice! No pouches, but I find it awesome and pretty ^-^
Three on each side, ignoring the ones on the ankles.
The Hollywood Treatment: You're already a superhero, but we can make you a superSTAR!
We're so psyched to work with you...FOR you, with your three-picture deal, baby! Pumped!
Your costume is perfect, PERFECT! Don't change a thing! We just have a few suggestions...
Cowl Helmet w/ Jaw Strap for an edgier military look that cinema-goers just love
Look at this beauty, a [PARTIAL HELM] sculpted to fit your head so it looks less flat on screen. It's not you, baby, it's just the Big Screen is too 2D to fit your magnificence. It even comes with an [ACCESSORY] strap to enunciate your perfect jaw.
Paramilitary Shoulders w/ Emblems that work with existing tights & allows for customization
We love your style, LOVE IT! Just slap this [SHOULDERPADS] to your existing design, a little bit more padding, broaden your already impressive shoulders more. They're just so eXtreme! Because YOU'RE so eXtreme!
That's not all, because check this blank insignia out. With your licensing rights, we're going to hand-stitch your [EMBLEM] right on that bad boy, baby! You...you want it to glow? No problem, baby, we'll make it glow!
Gold Statuette you won for your film, used to hit villains with
When you get that movie award, like the Golden Gar or something, you can use it to fight crime as a [BLADED WEAPON], [HEAVY WEAPON], even a [PISTOL]. We even got special ammo for it.
You're going to kill 'em, KILL 'EM! Only metaphorically, of course, these movies got to be PG.
Over-an-Eye Swoop adds to both glamor and mystery
We got you a hairstyle for both the film AND the Red Carpet, baby! Over one eye, sexy! It's for BOTH Best Male and Female Performances. You remember this [HAIR] on depressed Tom Hiddleston? That's hot, baby!
Beauty Marks can appear on different parts of the face, includes freckles
What the hell is the make-up guy doing here? GET THIS NOBODY THE HELL OFF THE SET!
This superhero-slash-superstar has the perfect [FACE]! Why whitewash Mona Lisa? Your freckles and beauty marks re-define beauty, baby! You're a Marilyn Monroe, a Cyndi Crawford, but far better at the acting!
Oh, but you might shine on the screen. You'll need some powder right...here. MAKE-UP!
Off-Shoulder Cape can be more elegant, more gothic
We love your [CAPE], but we want to make you look eve more regal. You're Hollywood royalty, baby! Nothing as bourgeois as a full mantle, but just extended to wrap around your shoulders tight.
Cape Chain not only shows off how regal you are, but also keeps your cape on
We also made this for you, check it out. Gold-titanium alloy chain for your cape, just to remind everyone you're not some nobody wearing a towel on your back. It'll add to your power and authority, baby!
You're perfect as you are, all this only enhances your existing costume, that extra edge! It's just the magic of the movies, movie magic, baby! Your PA get you your Diet Coke? Alright, lights...camera...AAAAACTION!
--- Design Notes ---
The Foxbat event inspired me. It made me ask, "How come I don't get my own movie?"
That led me to this idea of the "Hollywood Treatment". Rather than making a costume set for a specific theme, I wanted to make a set that could be utilised by the maximum audience, something for everyone.
And that meant something for YOUR superheroes, if they appeared in their own films!
Then I started researching, mainly by comparing past superhero Hollywood movies to this generations. The traditional cloth tights and capes were replaced with more military-grade styles, like jumpsuits.
It had something to do with what looks good on screen. Instead of a flat cowl, they were going for helmet-like masks, to add contour, giving the costume itself some expression. Shoulders were likewise padded.
I started noticing a lot of the changes...small, simple, subtle, were focused on the top part of the body for a simple reason: close-ups. When zooming in to the face, the shoulders and top torso are the focus.
So I added just some details to the face. Beauty marks, as shown in the picture, can be applied to different areas, near the eyes, for example. So can freckles. Very easy to do, it's just a type of make up, really.
The goal is to enhance YOUR existing costumes, they're beautiful, for the "Big Screen".
In supporting your designs, I hope to get your support for this, the Hollywood Treatment.
Thinking something like a galactic soldier and/or mercenary (soldier of fortune) type of character.
The sketch on the left would be the more official kit layout, while the one on the right is more of the mercenary approach (a few pieces of the standard kit, such as: torso, gloves, boots) with some additions such as: jacket, helmet, cargo-style pants.
Multifarian refugee, Alternate Earth Hero or Dimensional Adventurer look no further.
The Dystopian set brings you cutting edge fashion of a future utopia gone wrong.
Key aspects of this set are represented by asymetical cuts, hard wearing tights and
goggles at the ready.
Here we have a man in hard wearing tights reinfored at the shoulder, upper thigh and knee. Option shown in Dystopian Grey and padded ice blue. His goggles around his kneck are at the ready and his is face smudged with dirt from the harsh environment. His thumb sleave gloves protect his hands while still giving him the freedom of movement to dial a dimesional gate.
Thick boots have reinforced arch and sole. His hair is windswept but not as unkept as those in other urban environmets.
Above is a young lady sporting an asymetrical shirt slanted at the bust and bottom hem much like the political structure she escaped through a soot filled indutrial stack. Her goggles give her eye protection resting around her kneck, and her polution, (or perhaps governmental control,) monitors are squarely secured by two-tone armbands and give off a faint glow. Her pants also contain asymetrical paterns and have glow strips around the pockets that match the vertical glow strips on the corset. Windswept hair and matching reinforced thick boots complete the look.
Fresh off the design board is this hooded trench coat with asymetrical tail. Less combersome than a standard trench coat with the built in feature of lined hood. This futuristic piece of outerwear should be availible with standard tails on request and is perfect for warding off a chemical geyser or unfortunate acid rain storm.

I titled this set anime mecha accesories.
They are just a few pieces, but I mainly focused on the wing piece
List:
Foot piece: pretty simple mecha foot, but not as wide as the one currently in CO, good for not so bulky mechas
Hips layer: slim but with some depth
Belt or leg accessory: I add a small possible raygun piece for either part so there will be freedom to use other existing pieces
Bracer: Thick, dual layer bracer partially covering the hand
Back piece(Wings): using 4 parts as stems to deploy TK or energy wings, when used for flying. I proposed an hex design as example but it could adapt many others like electric or psionic effects.
I'm going to be leaving the office before too much longer, folks, so I'm going to be locking this thread. The devs and I are looking through for our favorites -- stay tuned for the finalists on Friday!
Comments
The Flesh portions may be set as either Skin or Tights. If set as Skin, the player may choose skin, leather, metal or oiled as the material, but the color should be slaved to whatever color they picked for their character's skin color. The Tights option provides cloth, leather, and metal as material options, and allows for use of the standard pallette.
Belly Pieces : These should be placed in the new Belt Accesory slot, allowing them to be used with both Belts and Chest Wear. Yes, this can result in clipping, but properly used clipping is one of the most valueable tools in creating a unique look. The pieces attach at the ribcage for the top control vectors, and at the pelvis for the bottom ones, scaling is controlled by those bones as well.
It would indeed be epic if the same spring-system bones could be used for the larger two bellies as with the droopy antenae on the huge helms, but that may not be feasible.
A) Snicka+ : Good for a beer-gut, middle-aged, or for a female character that doesn't have an hourglass figure.
C) Blob : You're not "plump", you're not "jolly", you're frickin' HUGE.
D) Multi Chin : A neck piece. Attaches to the jawline at the top, and the clavicle at the bottom.
E) Jowls : Head Side accessory. Top attaches to the cheekbones, bottom to the lower jaw.
The Bone bits may be set as cloth, leather, or metal, just as the existing skull and hand pieces are.
F) Torso : This is available as a torso option (not chestwear) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Arms.
G) Arms : Available (right, left or both as appropriate) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Arms, selected as one would arm type (Robotic, Hydraulic, Steampunk, etc.).
H) Legs : Available (right, left or both as appropriate) under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Legs, selected as one would leg type (Robotic, Hydraulic, Steampunk, etc.).
I) Pelvis : As the Torso above, save as an option under Robotic Left, Robotic Right, or Robotic Both Legs.
J) Feet : A foot option, available for any leg type.
*crosses fingers*
All areas in red indicate glowing parts.
1) Steel Arachnid Shoulders
2)Arachnid Steel Bicep armor
3) Glowing bracer blades, the blades in Grey have an option to be glowing or not.
4) Leg accessory, glow able red bits
5) Metal Arachnid Boots, boots that protect the Knee as well as your feet while you're on the move.
6) Full mask, also available in hats and helmets, half masks, full masks, full helmets and rigid helmets. Mouth accessory may be compatible in these categories with the mask.
7) A back accessory that has 4 spikes attached to it, the back accessory sits around the head to cover the chest partially as well as the back. The Back spinal cord looking thing is attached to the back accessory, making it ONE piece.
8) Glowing tights that express your inner arachnid!
9) Additional mouth accessory that is available with the different masks. This mouth piece should be able to be worn in any category of wear that the helmets/ face masks are available in.
10) Alt helmets within the pack, to scare off your predators!

Champions Online.. where we sell lockboxes by the dozen.
I apologize for the cutoff, my scanner is way too small, but I kept most of the visual in there. You're only really missing out on my bad handwriting.
Robotic Eyes and More (title pending)
Mostly what I came up with is making eye textures for various types of displays used in electronics, such as seven segment digital displays, oscilloscope/CRT displays, Nixie (cold-cathode display) tubes, dot-matrix, automotive headlights etc. The eyes are mostly textures, the exceptions being maybe the oscilloscope should have a measurement grid diffuse over it to give it the scope sort of look, as well as the Nixie eyes having a grid over them and having a glass eye bubble to go over each of them as well, to stay with the look (I suggest googling Nixie tube or Cold Cathode Display, to get a better idea. They're so pretty!). All eye textures would have glows, and there is quite a bit of potential for lots of different patterns of eyes using the same basic effect, for example, the dot matrix and seven-segment templates and coloring in the dots/segments differently for easy to produce variations on the texture.
Other parts in this set are kind of slapped together because nobody would really want to buy a set that consists of just eye textures alone, so we have several parts for the head, and aa back piece.
Ribbon Cable: Head wear, is just a simple color-coded ribbon cable folded and scrunched up a bit on the head. Could be female only.
Inductor hair: Metal ribs/retainer with tightly packed, parallel wires underneath it, could be a hair piece, part of a full head, or just a top accessory.
Side caps: Bigger side caps, with a plate design on them. Screw and glow details etc.
Tube back: Headwear/head accessory. Think of a television that has been removed from the housing. It has a long neck going back to the copper wire coil that's used to control the image. Now imagine one of these jutting out of the back of your head.
Antenna head accessory: Pretty generic, just has a collapsing antenna (like a car's) sticking up, no jigglebones.
Vent nose: Scalloped vents replace the nose, I don't know what slot to use it for, maybe just integrate it with a new head design or something lol
Mouth display: Works mostly like the eye textures, it's a display and maybe has alternate textures for different display styles like LED, dot matrix, holographic, oscilloscope waveforms, etc. Pardon the terrible slapped-together drawing.
Antenna backpack: Again, car collapsible antenna, stuff like capacitors and wires and gauges and stuff stuck all over it. Could have a possible antenna option of a jigglebone spring antenna that's ridiculously tall, like those seen on the cars at ham radio conventions (lots of people in the bay area seem to have these...)
Another note on those really tall antennae, Jiggling shoulderpad-mounted antennae could be pretty sweet.
Hopefully some of these can be of some use in the future, I've been thinking about how much I want more eye types recently.
the best kind of signature
The gimmick to this set is the "smart weapon." It's basically a transformer weapon, which transforms to the most convenient attack style suited to the situation at hand. It can be a pistol, sub-machine gun, assault rifle, shotgun, sniper rifle, and melee weapon, meant to adapt to a Future Agent's fighting style and preferences.
In-game, this would serve the munitions guy who doesn't want to be carrying a half-dozen weapons. Close combat, assault, lasers, rockets, sharpshooting, everything else? One weapon.
Smart Weapons for adaptable combat, sleek and discrete armor for total maneuverability and maximum protection. Future Agent.
Textures for this set would include sharp angle and straight line designs, as seen in the tights and the female's helm and bracers. Not pictured, but I would also add a sort of "rebel" agent look, with warpaint-style designs and markings.
All of the upper-body pieces should be designed to work together or on their own, and should thus clip through each other to form a clean appearance.
Individual Costume Parts:
Head
Full Helm and Partial Helm. The Neck textures would be part of a thin metal-looking Partial Mask, that would follow the design of both body Tights shown above.
Chest
Breastplate with several insignia choices in the (unmarked) circle on the breastplate.
Back
Power Turbines. These simply go over the shoulder, and would have small vents on the back side (back side not pictured).
Neck
Tech Cowl.
Long Gloves
Thick, bulky gloves, with several gadgets around the wrists.
Feet
Thick, bulky boots, with rear vents/thrusters meant to compliment rocket boots, rocket jump, or any other non-superpowered travel power dealing with speed or agility.
Not Pictured:
Hips
Tech Subligar, similar in design to Breastplate.
Leg Accessory
Armor plates, similar in design to Breastplate.
Weapons
Smartweapon. The set would have a variant of the same weapon, using the same base pistol. It would have a variant for all Munitions weapon types, (well, not sure about minigun and rocket launcher, but that would be cool), all Gadgeteering weapon types, and also for single blade and dual blade. Not too sure about Heavy Weapons. Maybe a secondary heavy smartweapon could be designed for Rocket/minigun/heavy weapon.
I apologize for bad picture quality.

I apologize for bad picture quality.
Sometimes, one is just tired of being a living thing. Sometimes, one wants to live mechanical and stop future. Sometimes, one just wants to see how it is to be AI. For those, I present to you the RETROBOT COSTUME SET.

This one is at the stomach.

~me
I wanted to create something anime inspired, or more specifically JRPG inspired. I envisioned the set to be completely unisex. So lets start by breaking down the various pieces:
Anime Hair
I went with a generic, but yet very JRPG themed hairstyle. I think it fits the over-all costume and maintains a very anime quality.
Un-tucked Shirt
Some of the most badest dudes in anime and JRPGs have their shirts untucked. I don't know what it is, but somehow poor dress habits make for powerful fighters.
Fur-Collared Jacket
Originally I designed this to have fur cuffs and lining on the bottom as well. Then it drove me crazy drawing it and I said, "Forget this!" and went with what you see here. Not the happiest with the final look, but it is what it is.
Pugilists Gloves
Fingerless, metal plated gloves for when you really want to punch someone's ticket. I also figure they can come in full-fingered variant.
Loose Belt w/ Chains
Wanted to give the lower half something to make it look a little less plain. So I added a loos belt to match the messy shirt and some chains for some extra cool.
Baggy Tucked Pants
Pretty self explanatory. Just a very baggy pair of pants tucked into the boots. Think the baggy jumpsuit pants that are currently in game, worn tucked in.
Buckled Platform Boots
I kind of went crazy here. I looked up some goth boots for inspiration, threw some metal plating and a knee-plate that matched the gloves and viola! These boots were made for stompin'.
I had also wanted a really cool, massive, crystal sword. But I ran out of time ( and patience ) drawing stuff so I will give a sample pic from another source and try my best to describe it.
Crystal Sword
The idea was to have a large sword with a transparent, crystalline blade. The crystal could be hued and given glow option. I envisioned it as both a Heavy Weapon sword as well as a Single or Dual-Blade compatible piece, as often times in anime and JRPGs the hero can wield a massive sword as if it were a normal blade.
That is my submission, and I thank you all for taking a look.

The Blind Ranger set takes insperationfrom several things, a bit of Dark Ages a bit more Medieval times and an almost not noticable amount of steampunk.
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/111/c/6/blind_ranger_set__part_1_by_swedenspeedway-d7fen6y.jpg
You are broken, dragged your legs and tools through the lands of Terra. The ages have past you like the wind of spring and winter, all too soon.
But through your loss of sight, let it be actual sight or the ability to see yourself, you have balanced it out by ability and skill.
Let's start with the torso to the left. The "Ranger's Shirt". Inspired by the simple yet fashionable wear of Medieval times, this shirt of cloth and rope sports nice detail in the form of chainmail underneath it. While chainmail itself exists in this game, I still feel we should be able to get a bit more creative with it.
The costume part itself is not chestwear, but rather the chest itself. It can be selected amongst the thights, the skins, the shirts, the sci-fi wear and victorian vests as an base for a nice costume.
The shirt's sleeves are folded up so that more of the chainmail can be seen. The chainmail's "entrance" is close to the start of most basic arm acessories and "ends" at the wrist. Thus most of it could be covered with long gloves or bracelets.
Around the neck we see a chainmail cowl which could either be considered part of the piece or it's own seperate costume part. Maybe even both?
Under the cowl at the start of the shirt, beside the "X", we see two strings hanging out to adjust the shirt piece so it wont be too thick or too thight.
This piece can be Cloth, Leather and Metal alike.
Moving on to the right of the costume part/s we see a vest. Ignore the arms, they are not sleeves but there for demonstration, as this is indeed a vest. This is the "Ranger's Vest".
Once a thick coat for exploration, mind you this should remove most "shape" on men as women, the sleeves have been taken away to allow the piece to be used in most climate that isn't too hot or too cold. This piece comes in cloth, leather and metal and happens to be an actual chest piece that. Mind you that the shirt mentioned above should be able to be used alone and with chest pieces, including this one.
Five buttons are on the vest, one of them hidden away by an belt that could be used as an makeway bandolier (Pictured are not pockets of any kind, but they were planned) or to keep back piece up and hanging. Just behind the neck we see something close to a "collar" though I must say that while it is slightly "bent around" the neck it stays mostly behind it. It is placed there to protect the back of the neck for most basic attacks and damages.
Between the shirt and the vest, just above the two we see a bandana that has is to be moved around the head and tied into a nice knot pirate style. Unliked the bandanas most like already in the game *COUGH* this one is long enough to cover the eyes and top of the nose AS WELL as being thick enough to be used for simple humanoid heads AND HELMETS alike. They look nice, keep the wearer warm and make sure the blinded do not need to get stinged in the eyes by the sun.
An alternate pattern is present here just beside it, blank eyes. While usually solid, two colorable eyes could be added to the piece to give the illusion of sight or to look like Iron Fist. Cough! This has been "The Ranger Bandana", cloth leather and metal all in store.
To the right of the vest are two skirt patterns that I believe are not in the game already. Kilt, for women and men alike and chainmail, also for men and women alike.
While chainmail skirts were not ALWAYS used, they could be used with the chainmail pattern already in the z-store / with the Ranger Shirt to give the illusion that the chainmail shirt is quite long.
ClothLeatherMetal-Irk.
Continuing on, the belt is a "Ranger's belt". Obviously, I have said the word "Ranger" quite a lot by now so we need to keep in mind that this is no civilian knight playing adventure but an survivor through the ages. Blind or not blind, you have learned to not only make your own weapons and armor but also your own food and medicine. Whatever you might hunt or find, these pockets and vial holders should suffice for at least the most small and important utilities. To the right, your left, of the belt a medium sized pouch hangs to carry even more loot and on the back of the belt a slightly bigger pouch presents itself.
Perhaps carrying a cook book? Yum!
All materials are accepted. But leather looks the coolest.
Under all of this we see our first weapon! (Unless you peeked on the axes, jerk)
The Ranger's Shortblade is inspired by the lands of the East. It is not as long as most longswords, hence the word SHORTblade, but it is not a butterknife either. It is good for taking care of close enemies from behind and front and also for opening up animal prey and start looting for foods.
Hanging from it is one of those fancy hanging thing's. The name escapes me. Would be super awesome if your physics engine actually allowed it to move around with your swings though!
Gloves and gauntlets. For the short AND long gloves, I present to you the chainmail pattern. AS said before, chainmail is already buyable. Chainmail gloves are not.
I want to wear more chainmail now, chainmail is cool.
Under it it my favorite. The Ranger's Gauntlet! Sporting three belts holding it nice and thight, thise baby could serve you good in metal and leather alike! And.. cloth too, I guess.
Scalloped armor can be seen on the fingers, protecting every inch and making sure that any punches given "CUT" to the action. Heheh~
Scalloped armor is alsy pressent on the back of the hand itself, three layers.
Ah, the "Ranger's Boots"!
While I do realize more pouches being present would be swell, I didn't want to overcook my attempt to be noticed. Therefor I sticked to a simple yet trusty design. Hopefully this thick baby is slim enough to be used on thights, shorts and pants alike. God I would love this thing with actual warm pants!
Before we contine, left upper corner. There is a vial. That is the vial that should be hanging on the Ranger belt. Just thought I'd mention it!
Axes! For wood! For animals! For plants!
And suckers.
Can't forget suckers.
Yes, a smaller tomahawk for the basics and a bigger axe for the real deal. The bigger axe (that isn't it's name though) has an sharp edge to it for punctuating... unmentionables and other soft areas on your enemy. Use it with honor!
The helmet. The Ranger's Helmet. The BLIND Ranger's helmet. For protection. For style. For most time periods where helmets are not wierd and socially unacceptable.
This is my favorites favorite.
Make it an helmet pattern, make it it's own seperate helmet part. I DON'T CARE, JUST PLEASE USE IT I REALLY WOULD LOVE THIS THING AND I WOULD PAY MONEY EVEN IF I WON IF I COULD USE IT OH GOD JUST GIVE IT TO ME!
Achum. Several layers. Screws here and there. No actual visor present, hence "Blind" in the title but an "visor" like area exist and could be colored for your liking.
For knighs and basic hunters alike!
my precious
And yes. A shileld to be sported on the back for added protection from behind. It's practical, it's fancy and it brings all the people to the yard. The handle to the shield can be seen to the lower right of it, just before the gloves and boots.
Oh and it has several patterns:
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/111/3/3/blind_ranger_set__part_2_by_swedenspeedway-d7fep11.jpg
Have fun. And please add some more, I wasn't too creative here.
Also, the numbered ones (1, 2 and 3) are patterns AND details!
1. is... well I got no name for it. It's basic and could look good if an emblem could be placed there. OH YEAH, EMBLEMS ON THE SHILED WOULD BE THE SHIP.
2. Is Bolts. Bolted. Pretty basic.
3 Abd wood. Wooden. Can be used with any pattern, just like 1 and 2... The pattern version should probably be called "Basic stripes" or something. Shrug.
Now while I am at it, I want to mention that I did take a picture of the shiled being ACTUALLY used. I unfortuantly lost it and the deadline is to scary for me to dare to take another picture of the sketch so let me explain. Please?...
The shiled should be able as an wrist/bracer part as well, pointing in several directions. One version should have the spiky "bottom" of the shield pointing up. Thus, if the player wears it on their left wrist they should be able to get the illusion that something.. EHEHE, sorry, is actually protecting them from bullets.. lasers.. knifes.. and etc. I mean come on, we got the MCPD running around in shields! Lucky bastards.
For people in love with gloves, aka me, please include a version or two for long gloves where the shiled has been set together with the "Ranger's gauntlet" model. It would look very nice and the gauntlet can be used for most time periiods and characters, saving you the need to have SEVERAL LONG GLOVE ALTERNATIVES TO ONE SHIELD MODEL.
Also, a version for short gloves too! These will be ACTUALLY HELD by an static humanoid five finger hand that doesn't change it's pose at any time. This is so that the player can pretend that they are melee bashing the shiled into enemies, in case they have a power for punches.
ALSO, sorry... I know too many bersion but still!
Please also consider adding a weapon version for claws/Night Avenger. Thus you can slash away with your shield at unsuspecting bad guys!
Also weapon version for sword powers. Just saying, would look cool.
Please?... I know I am asking for too much...
Am I forgetting something? OH YEAH, PANTS.
Have pants:
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/111/2/0/blind_ranger_set__part_3_by_swedenspeedway-d7fepd7.jpg
The first is a pattern for thights and pants alike! "Ranger Lines" I guess. It looks cool.
AS you can see the lines are colorable and an alternative pattern with "X" stiches exist as well. IT be cools.
AND THEN THERE IS THE "RANGER'S RIDER PANTS". LOOKS CLOSE TO ANY OTHER COSTUME PIECE? CANT HEAR YOU.
(Just kidding, it is familiar to some in the editor.. but it should be original enough. I think)
It's not too different from... those.. pants that cowboys wear.. this name escapes me as well, sorry.
The.. hanging pants thing is held together by reasons and two belts by the.. ankles?
*Googles the translation of the word*
Yeah! Ankle! Where the foot starts! Right?
Several different belts are seen under the pants handing thing, holding onto a pair of thights. I think it looks nice! No pouches, but I find it awesome and pretty ^-^
Three on each side, ignoring the ones on the ankles.
Also crossbows and stones:
http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/111/7/a/blind_ranger_set__part_4_by_swedenspeedway-d7feprk.jpg
Wrist crossbow for the hunter desperate to look steampunk and cool as well as an regular crossbow for pistols and rifle costume parts alike! YAY.
Also static rock holding thingie for short hands. With magic thingy pattern.
I was stressed when I drew this last thing, so I will compensate with a picture of actual runes:
http://www.1066andallthat.com/english_old/orthography_01.asp
And an rune snake, for the shield: http://lucernarium.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/563px-snake-witch.jpg
So yeah, coolios. That is my silly little costume set for funsies and fantasies and hopefully a few Captain America knock offs!
I HOPE FOR AN 3RD PLACE BUT I AM HAPPY TO AT LEAST MAKE THE DEADLINE. PLEASE GIVE CRITIC OVER AT THE "Costume Contest Commentary" TOPIC. THANKS!
The Hollywood Treatment: You're already a superhero, but we can make you a superSTAR!
We're so psyched to work with you...FOR you, with your three-picture deal, baby! Pumped!
Your costume is perfect, PERFECT! Don't change a thing! We just have a few suggestions...
Cowl Helmet w/ Jaw Strap for an edgier military look that cinema-goers just love
Look at this beauty, a [PARTIAL HELM] sculpted to fit your head so it looks less flat on screen. It's not you, baby, it's just the Big Screen is too 2D to fit your magnificence. It even comes with an [ACCESSORY] strap to enunciate your perfect jaw.
Paramilitary Shoulders w/ Emblems that work with existing tights & allows for customization
We love your style, LOVE IT! Just slap this [SHOULDERPADS] to your existing design, a little bit more padding, broaden your already impressive shoulders more. They're just so eXtreme! Because YOU'RE so eXtreme!
That's not all, because check this blank insignia out. With your licensing rights, we're going to hand-stitch your [EMBLEM] right on that bad boy, baby! You...you want it to glow? No problem, baby, we'll make it glow!
Gold Statuette you won for your film, used to hit villains with
When you get that movie award, like the Golden Gar or something, you can use it to fight crime as a [BLADED WEAPON], [HEAVY WEAPON], even a [PISTOL]. We even got special ammo for it.
You're going to kill 'em, KILL 'EM! Only metaphorically, of course, these movies got to be PG.
Over-an-Eye Swoop adds to both glamor and mystery
We got you a hairstyle for both the film AND the Red Carpet, baby! Over one eye, sexy! It's for BOTH Best Male and Female Performances. You remember this [HAIR] on depressed Tom Hiddleston? That's hot, baby!
Beauty Marks can appear on different parts of the face, includes freckles
What the hell is the make-up guy doing here? GET THIS NOBODY THE HELL OFF THE SET!
This superhero-slash-superstar has the perfect [FACE]! Why whitewash Mona Lisa? Your freckles and beauty marks re-define beauty, baby! You're a Marilyn Monroe, a Cyndi Crawford, but far better at the acting!
Oh, but you might shine on the screen. You'll need some powder right...here. MAKE-UP!
Off-Shoulder Cape can be more elegant, more gothic
We love your [CAPE], but we want to make you look eve more regal. You're Hollywood royalty, baby! Nothing as bourgeois as a full mantle, but just extended to wrap around your shoulders tight.
Cape Chain not only shows off how regal you are, but also keeps your cape on
We also made this for you, check it out. Gold-titanium alloy chain for your cape, just to remind everyone you're not some nobody wearing a towel on your back. It'll add to your power and authority, baby!
You're perfect as you are, all this only enhances your existing costume, that extra edge! It's just the magic of the movies, movie magic, baby! Your PA get you your Diet Coke? Alright, lights...camera...AAAAACTION!
--- Design Notes ---
The Foxbat event inspired me. It made me ask, "How come I don't get my own movie?"
That led me to this idea of the "Hollywood Treatment". Rather than making a costume set for a specific theme, I wanted to make a set that could be utilised by the maximum audience, something for everyone.
And that meant something for YOUR superheroes, if they appeared in their own films!
Then I started researching, mainly by comparing past superhero Hollywood movies to this generations. The traditional cloth tights and capes were replaced with more military-grade styles, like jumpsuits.
It had something to do with what looks good on screen. Instead of a flat cowl, they were going for helmet-like masks, to add contour, giving the costume itself some expression. Shoulders were likewise padded.
I started noticing a lot of the changes...small, simple, subtle, were focused on the top part of the body for a simple reason: close-ups. When zooming in to the face, the shoulders and top torso are the focus.
So I added just some details to the face. Beauty marks, as shown in the picture, can be applied to different areas, near the eyes, for example. So can freckles. Very easy to do, it's just a type of make up, really.
The goal is to enhance YOUR existing costumes, they're beautiful, for the "Big Screen".
In supporting your designs, I hope to get your support for this, the Hollywood Treatment.
More action at Champions Online Comics @ http://co-comics.webs.com
Thinking something like a galactic soldier and/or mercenary (soldier of fortune) type of character.
The sketch on the left would be the more official kit layout, while the one on the right is more of the mercenary approach (a few pieces of the standard kit, such as: torso, gloves, boots) with some additions such as: jacket, helmet, cargo-style pants.
Again, apologies for the crude drawings!
The Dystopian set brings you cutting edge fashion of a future utopia gone wrong.
Key aspects of this set are represented by asymetical cuts, hard wearing tights and
goggles at the ready.
Here we have a man in hard wearing tights reinfored at the shoulder, upper thigh and knee. Option shown in Dystopian Grey and padded ice blue. His goggles around his kneck are at the ready and his is face smudged with dirt from the harsh environment. His thumb sleave gloves protect his hands while still giving him the freedom of movement to dial a dimesional gate.
Thick boots have reinforced arch and sole. His hair is windswept but not as unkept as those in other urban environmets.
Above is a young lady sporting an asymetrical shirt slanted at the bust and bottom hem much like the political structure she escaped through a soot filled indutrial stack. Her goggles give her eye protection resting around her kneck, and her polution, (or perhaps governmental control,) monitors are squarely secured by two-tone armbands and give off a faint glow. Her pants also contain asymetrical paterns and have glow strips around the pockets that match the vertical glow strips on the corset. Windswept hair and matching reinforced thick boots complete the look.
Fresh off the design board is this hooded trench coat with asymetrical tail. Less combersome than a standard trench coat with the built in feature of lined hood. This futuristic piece of outerwear should be availible with standard tails on request and is perfect for warding off a chemical geyser or unfortunate acid rain storm.

I titled this set anime mecha accesories.
They are just a few pieces, but I mainly focused on the wing piece
List:
Foot piece: pretty simple mecha foot, but not as wide as the one currently in CO, good for not so bulky mechas
Hips layer: slim but with some depth
Belt or leg accessory: I add a small possible raygun piece for either part so there will be freedom to use other existing pieces
Bracer: Thick, dual layer bracer partially covering the hand
Back piece(Wings): using 4 parts as stems to deploy TK or energy wings, when used for flying. I proposed an hex design as example but it could adapt many others like electric or psionic effects.
