Damn, Cabbit -- glad you're ok, and I hope they had insurance!

Nice to see that even when trying the CC still doesn't look as bad as anything drawn by Rob Liefeld.

We are literally considering a color advisor to help people make better choices - it's just math, but the user interface is a pain.

Oh that's interesting, City of Tiaras commences!

Also for anyone that's interested they just posted some characters from the CharGen on the official twitter... with complimentary colours !!

And an extra that didn't fit. Compare it _closely_ to the other two.

He's a nice guy, I'm told, and everyone likes him who works with him. And a lot of people loved his work.
There are some things in that picture you haven't seen before if you look somewhere besides the torso...

RECLUSE ARMS CONFIRMED :)

I'm hoping we have some 10/10 robe options because CoH made me so mad that I couldn't have robes like Circle of Thorns

I myself am not concerned

I myself am not concerned with the examples as a whole costume, I focus on the individual pieces that have been showcased. I know I can design a good looking costume so I'm excited with the sample helmets and shoulders and textures etc. I'm confident this creator will not disappoint. Great work all.

Okay Brand not as harsh are you're putting it lmfao but yeah, that's the gist of it

I've gotten complaints for my own characters, but the point still stands. I haven't seen any character come out yet, that I went, "Okay. I'll be happy."

Now, I see that wing frame work and think, "Those wings are cool and I could likely take a wing off and use that as a cool sword like weapon." but the outfits and characters themselves leave me in a state of "Well. Looks like it's going to be an ugly game."

I see those characters and I see Champion's Online with an updated engine and almost everyone on these forums have complained about CO's aesthetic.

Let me see this created in the character generator and I'll be impressed AND HAPPY.

I want to make this perfectly clear: this picture is three months old. All the faults you see - the overly pale skin, etc, have been fixed.
But tell me she doesn't look like Geena.

Hmmm...no idea if I would've thought Geena without you saying it, but you saying it has me seeing it for sure.

That said, I still want to look like a comic book super hero and not a real life actor playing the super hero in a movie.

I'm getting more and more

I'm getting more and more excited. Getting laptops squared away for the family and trying to sock away enough to decently contribute for everyone. Y'all have to release something soon or I'm gonna 'splode.

FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)

Thank you for finally showing a pretty girl...even if it is 3 months old.
Hmmm, we need a face light. Her eyes are in deep shadow.
The lipstick is the first I've seen, and I am happy with it.
Eyebrows are OK, and I can see something of eye shadow.

Geena is pretty good. She would make a nice stock face.

overall I am very happy seeing this.

Ooo, tech wings! They've got some bland texturing but I like the different style of them overall.

But can you use those spider legs to wall climb? That would be a cool animation. I assume wings will have the appropriate animation but those are probably easier

Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.

But can the spider legs be used as firing points? It would look cool having an array of different blasts coming from different legs

The Genna face is nice, but

The Genna face is nice, but the shadows are not kind to it. The face appears more angular than it really is.
Does anyone know if there is a rounder softer feminine face, like this?

Poser is a human creation kit

Poser is a human creation kit that was used for the base characters in Skyrim and Fallout4. I think VO is using it and it looks like we are too (but I am guessing here).
These are a few of the feminine faces I grabbed from Deviant Art after a few minutes search. Below is what is possible with Poser. It an indy artist off the street can make these, so can we. Faces should be easy, not difficult. Take a look,

Digging the new armor pieces and mechanical limbs/wings. Very nice stuff. More updates like this (and actually make them updates!).

Looking forward to the next

Looking forward to the next update. Hopefully the second Kickstarter opens up soon so that late-comers like me can pay to try the finished version of the character creator. Haven't been excited for a game like this in a long time.

Been incommunicado for a

I've been incommunicado for a couple of weeks so I'm going to reply to a few posts here:

[img=800x800]https://i.imgur.com/fHI9lRY.png[/img]

As to this pic I just wanted to mention that these type of "wings" [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/157546#comment-157546]were suggested[/url] on the Costume Request thread. Obviously I have no idea if the Devs had already implemented wings like these [i]before[/i] they appeared on the request thread or not but it's always cool to see a direct "suggestion" make it into the game regardless. Looking forward to seeing how many suggestions end up in the game overall. :)

Something like that might be nice as a post-launch QoL update but I would definitiely NOT worry about having it any time soon. Such a feature might help color blind players to some degree but most people who care about the issue of "costume color coordination" are going to be doing that for themselves regardless.

As the others said I didn't instaneously see "Geena Davis" when I looked at this pic but after a few seconds I could accept the likeness. I included an actual pic of Geena for a side-by-side comparison and you can see how close it is especially in the nose, lips and chin.

As Cyclops said I'm also happy to see a pic like this because it may be one of the first public examples of a truly "pretty female" you've shown and it's good to see the chargen can produce something like this.

Now we get to work with something new.

I suspect if we're given enough facial sliders (which I suspect we will be given) we'll be able to make a fairly wide range of faces. This is why having "body slider only" save files will be important because once we collectively figure out how to make truly awesome faces we'll likely want to save/share them with others.
