Hi fellow players! So I've been playing Champions online for a while now. I went Gold after about six months and have never looked back.
I am a huge superhero comic-book fan and, as such, I create mainly comic-book characters. I spend a lot of time in the tailor to the extent that I think it's a mental illness. I try to make solid, superhero outfits rather than making clever stuff with the use of glitches, not that there's anything wrong with that. I love some of that stuff. It's just that I prefer to stick to what I love.
For quite a while now I have regularly posted images of my characters in threads in this part of the forum, but it's probably high time I started my own thread so that I don't annoy others with my costumes ;-)
I usually make a whole bunch of costumes for each character....one from each age of comics plus usually a gaslight (victoriana/steampunk)and a pulp outfit, amongst others where applicable.
I'll start with my most iconic character, Britannia. She's basically my homage to Superman, Thor, Wonder Woman and, of course, Captain Britain. A Demi-Goddess from the Roman pantheon who has become the protector of Great Britain.
Much like Uncle Sam or Columbia for the US or Mother Russia for Russia, Britain actually has a national personification called Britannia (and another called John Bull, but the less said about him the better). Here's her statue....
My task when creating her was to combine the elements of the images and statues of her with a superhero look. My inspiration behind this was how Kirby managed to do the same with Thor
-combining the traditional imagery with superhero sensibilities.
In all her different builds she has always been a heavy weapons using tank, wielding her mighty Sceptre of Power! The real reason why Britannia exists is because I wanted to make a character that would use that sceptre from the Fantasy Set. I'd love a trident to compete the look though.
I have recently updated her costume to give it more of a union Jack feel to it.....thanks to the Pharaoh's Belt from the King Sehken set. The following is her Silver Age costume.....

Below I have included her Modern Age (top) and her Silver Age look (bottom).

The Homelander is powered by the Force of July. He's a super strong, super tough, flying, chisel-chinned manly-man.
The first is his Golden Age outfit, second is his Silver Age outfit and the last is when he's completely channeling the Force of July (in my mind it's like the speed force that the Flash uses but for US patriotic superheroes) and becomes the Spirit of America!

The following is her Silver Age (with Arachnotech(TM) harness) outfit followed by her Gaslight (Victorian) and then Golden Age outfit........

The following are his Silver Age outfit, his Modern Age outfit and his Bronze Age (X-treme 90s guitar riff!) outfit complete with Bowgun...
I wish we didn't have the stupid glowing string with bows. I heard a rumour that they were just supposed to be on the "laser bow" but that the implementation of that glitched all of them, dunno if it's true but it sounds plausable enough

Well that's an interesting idea, turning the Gun arm into a Bow arm.
What gloves are those in the third owl-woman picture?
Those are the Classic Foxbat gloves
Edit: Image changed so my reply is no longer relevant.

Sorry man...dunno how I missed this request.
If you just wanna use it as a template then sure, no probs. I'll get that to you as soon as I am back in game in an hour or two (I don't have that costume file saved atm).
By the way, that costume is using the Harajuku, Victorian, Arabian Nights, Halloween Web and Magical Girl Costume sets.

This might be my favorite costumes in all of CO.
The resiliant and resourceful REBOUND....
I kinda see the kirby dots as his unstable molecules leaking out.
Thank you very much mate :-) Unfortunately Photobucket have decided that they will no longer support third party hosting for images unless you pay them a $400 subscription so I have changed to imgur and had to move my images and re-link them . That's why you can no longer see the images in your quote of me. Sorry

Don't ask how she manages to fight in that skirt

I really like how he came out. Standing straight he doesn't look *that* distorted but in a pose definitely shows that he has gone tastefully stretchy (long but not really gruesome).
Thanks mate, I appreciate your comment.
You're right, in the more static images (and the tailor screenies) he is just a little stretched, that's the one I use for just standing around. I have also made another costume exactly the same but more stretched out for when in action. That's the one I'm using in the other images. This is the costume for that one...a little more extended.
I think I'll make a couple of binds for using some emotes with it. It doesn't look so good when just standing straight.

This is him swimming in Lemuria in his Silver Age costume. Some of the images have him wearing his ceremonial bracers and one has him in full ceremonial armour (made of lightweight Atlantium)....

I've actually been thinking of making a n Aquatic toon, make me play Lemuria fully for once.
But I bet glove and bootless would look good.
Heya man...yup, I do have glow tights. Unfortunately on the feet the dimpled part of the glow tights isn't where I would want it. However, I have redesigned Aqua Rex slightly (and replaced the old design with the new one in the last post) and used the glow tight gloves. Thanks for the suggestion

Champions Online.. where we sell lockboxes by the dozen.
TY man. I wasn't sure about the gold ceremonial bracers so thanks for the vote of confidence I'm thinking that I maybe need to add some gold shoulderpads to balance it out.
I'll get tinkering and see if that works.

It's really nice to be able to use a mask and have facial details (in this case "rugged"). I really wish we could do that with normal partial masks.
Why we don't have a re-skin of Cape Glide TP without the adding of a cape on our backs yet is beyond me. So many costume pieces would benefit from this.

The idea is that his super-science belt is what allows him to change size and that his bracers stabilise the forces that are used to perform this change. They are all powered by the generator on his back and the energy is circulated around his suit by the cables that can be seen on his costume (the bright, cyan piping). In his large form the energy would give him superstrength and durability and in his tiny form the energy would have to be dissipated by means of energy attacks and flight/forcefields (unfortunately two completely different builds like that are not viable in CO, but what the hey).
I am a huge fan of the Atom and Ant Man/Giant Man so it was a no-brainer that I would eventually end up making a hero like this. The first set of images are him starting from normal size and shrinking, the second are from normal size to super size. The last are his tailor references for the three costume sizes.
That first costume coupled with the Shrinker makes him really small and the last one with the Magnifier makes him colossal. Add the effects of miniaturization ray with reciprocating gizmo advantage and the size advantage from enrage and we're cooking with gas!

Victorian Leatherwing is a police surgeon (a rather new field in his time) by day but by night he stalks the streets of London looking to dispense bloody justice.
Victorian Owl Woman is a circus acrobat and tightrope walker who looks for thrills by tackling crime wherever the circus passes by.

I too, like the use of colors. What's your strategy when it comes to coloring these outfits?
Here are some of the examples I use.......
I used to pour over the following images for hours when I was a kid...
I loves me some old schoool All Star Squadron!

And oh! Now that's some mighty fine example to be inspired by! Personally, when I created Harlot, I was mainly inspired by Paul Dini and how he drew Harley Quinn but might make an alternative costume that's inspired of her current look and the work of Chad Hardin.

By the way folks, tomorrow I am moving from Australia to the UK (London), by way off a stop off in Budapest for a couple of weeks holiday so I may not be in-game for a while.
So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all !

I've been revamping the Huntsman's costumes recently and I finally made two fantasy style costumes. The first is your typical ranger tracking in the wilderness and the second is a satyr type hunting in the mountains...
