Its seems theres some kind of revamp of the old hero content coming...
I think lots of heroes, contacts, NPCs in general could use a redesign.
I think some players of this game, like bAss_Ackwards make awesome costumes. So I think would be cool to have a thread to post our visions of those characters revamped.
I know there was some kind of costume contest called "Redesign Freedom Phalanx" and I found it funny.
I will start posting some redesigns. I wanted to keep it iconic and simple at same time:









Dont be shy and post yours, think of the worst dressed or older NPCs and make them a new look!

Even if I'm relatively new I already made two redesigns, they are both very minor though.

Old is left, new is right.



He also got his swords switched, so he finally has his Katana in the right and his Wakizashi in the left.

Feel free to critique, post or whatever of course.
Just made the redesigns for fun, and I would like to see other's visions.

I can't do the side by side but this was my redesign of FrostFire:

And this was my BAB:

And Manticore:


All of these were done a while back and could use some updating using the newer packs I think.

 

Posted

For Manticore, can someone try giving him a lower mouth mask instead, because an actual manticore description states it has the top head of a human, but three rows of teeth.

Oh wait, this is only NPCs? Hmmm...

Well maybe they ship out of use Clockworks somewhere else to make profit from the trade. Or some company just copied the look of Clockworks because they thought it was nifty, or whatever.

If it's just slapping pieces together then sure things will look bad but I think there's a fair amount of options available for decent redesigns. There's noticeable weaknesses here and there but in some situations I think it adds to the challenge.

I sort of agree on it seeming sort of off for a Primal Earth character to look so blatantly Clockwork though admittedly it's not a bad look in its own right. That's sort of my problem with Valkyrie. My mind says it's "wrong" even though I actually like your outfit purely from an aesthetic perspective. My two concerns are the fact that there's a tech origin to Valkyrie that's not shown in your version and the fact that there's not much variance from the base Valkyrie set.

I think the characters that need an update the most by default will be any NPC that use the "civilian" model. For all the complaint's about player outfits being outdated, the bystanders are what truly look bad. With that in mind, I opted to try making an update for Azuria:



The top is too shiny but nothing I can do about that.

Here's Valkyrie showing off the latest in Paragon fashion. This season she'll be wearing Alpha by Icon, gorgeously accented with golden Valkyrie armour, also by Icon.

So Yeah, Alpha for the tech origin, and Valk stuff for the Norse flavour.

I highly! suggest the new accession armor boots at the very least.

Stealing my thread idea, you cad!

Valkyrie;




Libby;




Sister Psyche (The green came out wrong and she needs better face and hair)




Luminary;




Also; I think Synapse, Numina and BaBs only need HD versions. Their designs are fine as is. Same with Positron and States.

I agree. I think the big deal with most of the hero/villain NPCs is that they have one-off costume parts. That's why when I did that re-design of FrostFire I created something that couldn't be done in the costume creator. Though I sure wish we COULD split our costumes in half like that!

Yeah but I personally don't like the look of lower jaw options with a standard face. Except that one troll guy that was here on the forums from a long time ago. Kil-somethingerother...

Remember this redesigns are made by players, we dont have access to those unique iconic costume parts.
We have to play with what we got!

I always agree with you in all threads... So why not? I posted a thread like this before but nobody posted, lol, so I posted it again when I saw your thread about Valkyrie redesign.

Valkyrie;
That's a great Valk redesign Techbot, only thing i would work on is i'm not sure the valkyrie boots work... which is ironic i guess, Good work
