Escape from the Zig

Character: Lord of Valhalla

I didn't get a back story from TA, but I wanted to proceed, so I went with the name and ran with it.

As Valhalla is the final reward for warriors slain in battle, led there by Valkyries, I got some inspiration from that and the fact that he's a villain.

So my take on Lord of Valhalla is that he has decided that he is the greatest of all warriors, and so deserves nothing less than to rule over all other warriors. He will lead them to conquest and glory.

From that I took several pieces from the Valkyrie set. As he is an Electric brute, and those powers have a reddish hue, I chose that as a primary color, with very dark grey as the other. I first was going black, but some costume components blended over each other too much, and they show up better in dark dark grey. I wanted another accent, and silver looked better than the gold to me, so I used that for several small trim pieces. I tried every belt several times, and didn't really like any of them enough to use. As the Valkyrie helmet is shorter in back, I wanted to use a collar, and thanks to the new Magic set, I could! I did some homage to the spike with the helmet detail and the boots.

So, here is my re-imagined Lord of Valhalla.

Nice piece! Goes well with my Carnie Luv character!

I got my City of Cute piece in via email today...YAY!!!

I was going to use the My Characters in the MA to do up Tuter King's character, but it doesn't give me access to capes and auras. Do capes and auras have to be unlocked for MA? If so, then how? I haven't dabbled with it much since some of the changes they have been making has invalidated many peoples published arcs, so I thought I'd wait and get into it after the patching for it slows down some. I can use one of my characters in the CC to do his for him, but am still wondering about what is and isn't available for making custom characters in MA.

Yeah, you have to buy to unlock capes, vet stuff, etc. If you have the Valkyrie pack you can put a long cape on in the character builder in game - the part you can see from the front is plain, but the back has the pattern on it, so you may just get a front shot.

Has anyone not exchanged information with their partners yet?

I got the screenies from TA, and asked for a bio/back story for "inspiration", so I'm waiting on that to do mine.

That's frelling cool! Pre-grats!

Okay, so Matt Miller and our Dev Team received yet ANOTHER basket…



Thank you very much to Jester99 . It was very thoughtful of you!

Before all of this gets too out of hand though, everyone…we want to make sure you know that by posting that first basket that arrived, we weren’t by any means suggesting that others send presents.

Although we appreciate the kind gesture we definitely didn’t intend to suggest that it’s now something ‘expected’ of you or that it will get anyone any extra advantages…like getting into our betas or information and such. J We don’t want anyone to feel obligated nor do we want to make any players who don’t have the means to show their appreciation in this way, feel bad.

Plus, well…do you really want to be responsible for giving our Devs big heads? (Shhh…don’t tell them we said that!)

Anyway, thanks again to all, but please, please know that a few kind words on the forums means just as much to us – if not more!!! :0D

"This arrived today from Targetdummy and "the rest of the folks on the City of Heroes forums""

I missed the "pass the hat" to chip in....now I'll have to dream up some mischievous something to send to make up for that. Mwahahahaha!

Nice piece - congrats!!

Nice one - congrats!

"Are you now going to turn around and write up a short little bio for me to read just because I don't want to look at the pictures?"


If you were paired with me, yes.

Sorry TA, you lost me bud. Thanks for the compliment on the concept though! Once he plows through Statesman, maybe he can kick TA in the behind. :P

It's up now! I'm leaning with the "yes on screenies" crowd, since I want to keep the hair and face and build the same, and not totally redo the character - I'm wanting to do a re-imagined costume/look, but still keep it somewhat recognizable, like the Praetorian us!

[/ QUOTE ]

If we do go the "show me a screenie" route, I'm sorry but I'm gonna be out. Showing me a picture automatically set a visual image of the character in my mind and anything I did to change wouldn't look right in my mind. Sorry bout that.

As you wish, but I was just posting my opinion on what I want. If you don't want to look at a screenshot, then just don't. As whoever for a text bio and go.

I think it could be fun either way, and I'm not gonna get bent out of shape whatever way anyone wants to do it. That's just me though...you all can do whatever you wish.

The idea is to have fun, and if looking at a reference pic spoils the fun, then don't do it. I don't know of too many people who've said they wanted it one way or else, so just go with it, imo. Heck, most of us know what each other's mains look like, anyway.

Oooh! I'm all for this! Count me in.

Something just change here? I'd PMed Torroes already.

Oh well, ignore that mail Torroes, and I'll send the same to TA.

Pwned

Yarrrr!

Nice sketches - looking forward to more stuff!


I, too, have had an idea rolling around in my head involving two of my characters and Sister Psyche. But I don't draw.

Feel free to look over my DA commissioned pieces and see if any meet your needs....as long as there's no copyright issues pending from this.

Those are looking nice - keep up the good work!

Very cool - nice work!

This might be fun - I'll give it a try and see how it goes!

Nice concept and cool piece!
