New Foundry Roundtable segment: Genesis Advice costume challenge

Greetings,

Sometime soon the Foundry Roundtable is going to start a new segment focused on how to (visually) design characters for Star Trek Online. Titled: "The Genesis Wardrobe: Creating Life From Lifelessness" I'll be tasked with creating a character on air according to a challenge prompt provided by anyone in the community. We'll then publish the sliders for you or anyone to use. The prompt could be anything from "create a Vulcan science officer" to "make me nightmare tentacle fiend from planet Zarg!" Canon or no, insane or sensible, for your own use or sheer entertainment value, we'd like to hear from you.

Why me? We'll I take an interest in character design and try to do the best I can with STO. Included in the spoiler tags below are a few examples of what I get up to (inside and out of the Foundry).

If you'd like to put my "skills" to use, or just have a laugh watching me struggle with your wildest suggestions, then leave a comment here or get in touch with us on twitter (the show: @FoundryRoundtab, me: @Gorgonops_SSF). Challenge results will be included here with every segment.

We look forward to your ideas.

    I'd love to know what the actual prompts were that gave rise to the pictures in the posting, if any?

    No secret prompts (that I know of at least), just talk between Roundtab hosts. :)

    Make a Pakled super commando, loyal genocidal maniac of the Terran Empire ... and while doing this you'll be singing "row row row your boat."

    I have [finally] put the sliders our first Genesis Wardrobe Challenge creation (a Dralian from VOY) in an openly shared google drive. It's a lot easier to manage than image hosting. If for whatever reason this solution doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll go to plan B.

    Just updating the thread to note that sliders and screenshots for Drogyn's romulan colony denizens have been added to the open folder.

    The next Roundtable will be on Saturday, March 11th (though it's worth noting that stuff can always come up) and I'll leave it to my co-hosts which of these is the focus for our next challenge. :)
