There's a good and a bad kind of creative.
The bad kind is mismatching. :(
The good kind if finding new ways of matching and making your outfit look good. :)

what would recomend to me improve the set?

I finally got the Man-Guts to post my Costume here. Just a simple Plasmatech Head/Spiral Brigandine set with Dragon Wings and Canteen (All cool)

I should probably save up my K Coins to get an Azure Bombhead, but back when I made this Plasmatech had less luster on low settings so It looked better D:
Just wanted to let you know I've made some... interesting... costumes that I'll post pics of soon, I'm not quite sure about them and need advice.
That looks pretty good. :) I didn't expect the helmet to match the armor but it actually looks okay! The accs are matchy too, and the PC is pretty fine. The helm could maybe use a bit more of the light grey. However, this general look is kinda common, but it's a good one. ^^
And can't wait to see em, Serell. :)

After learning the cobalt doesn't have a theme, I tried to give it a dusky theme and match it with my Chaos Cloak.
And here's just something cool I drew: http://imgur.com/NHu94
When I get home, I'll post the costume ideas I had in mind with the guardian armors.
I've had this for a few days now: http://i.imgur.com/N95Qu.jpg
I'm wanting to add a Divine pipe to it, but I don't have one yet.
what do ya think? :)
So I have my cute and serious costumes done. Now it's time to be casual. It's a little out of my range, but I'll work for it! What do you think of this future costume? I think the brown and gray in the set works well :3

That's not so bad, Serell. I like the last one most personally. However, there's still a lack of violet on the helmet, and the gray is a little too dark. Can't do anything about the grey, but I'd suggest prismatic VVs, as they'll be a lot of violet. Prismatic Mohawk could add to it (<3 mohawks). Helm guards are fine too.
Talagand, that's becoming a little common now. Q_Q
Sure go on with the Pipe, the helmet could use more white and tan, as it has too much brown. I suggesting balancing the light blue bits too. Cobalt PC should do the trick a bit, and some cool accessory to the side.
That's pretty neat, Poke, except a few things... there's the blue collar, and the dark color of the pants. How to fix? Get a side accessory that would balance the collar, up to you to choose which one. Would bring in some of the white on the trim of the poncho too, I believe. Dunno what to do about the pants. I don't think there's a scarf or feather to match that. The rest is all pretty neat. I like how you included the pipe with your PC. :)
Alright Tersakoff, go all out on my costume. If you hate it. Say you do. I won't be offended. Just want to see what you think. I'd take any suggestions too if It's good. Btw, this is the costume I used for that recent fashion contest.

P.S. Check on that google doc for my CDC. Theres a very important thing you have to know. If you can't make it, tell me.
Hm, wasn't so sure about it, but glad you like it. Yes, you are right, there's a lack of violet... it's just... as you can see, I'm too poor to afford prisma VVs ;_; I usually like VV's cuz they look like cute cat ears, but I'm really liking the helm guards. Hm... prisma helm guards? Those don't look like they would be as expensive as prisma VVs.
Alright Zader, first off, the armor and helmet themselves fit ok, but.
None of them have the light yellow on the tail, so that's out of place. The spike mohawk is volcanic and the base of it is a new color that shouldn't be there. The Mecha Wings make no sense on that helmet. The Game face is okay. The crest is, again, volcanic and has nothing to do there. The scarf's grey is off, a teal-ish shade. Not to mention that, taking just the helm and armor, the armor would have the dark teal color that the helmet doesn't have. You PC is fine with this costume though.
What do I suggest? Remove everything except the scarf and game face. Leave side acc empty. Get toasty spike (will have a bit of the teal). Toasty Valkyrie wings would help I think. A toasty scarf would fit better, too. Or Regal, to match the dark teal.
And alright, I'll check now. I haven't gotten the mail from the contact person, though...
Checked it, and I'm afraid that's too late for me, 7 PM PST, it's 5 AM. If you wish, you can back me out of the hosts.
Serell, those are an option, but I believe the VVs would bring in more violet... might be just me though. :)
Ok. Interesting. Although, I'm tryin to go for that badass look. I don't wanna be some dark angel o.o. And can you make it say... 12 PM PST on Friday? that would mean 10 PM your time. It should take like 30 min at most. Maybe even less.
Well then just ditch the wings :)
And 10 AM*, if its 5 hours later than the first time. I usually wake up way later. I can say 80% I'll be there. If I'm not, I'll back out as a host.
Oh and whenever you make that rap happen, make sure to post it, I'd like to hear it!
Lol haha.
But 12 PM is 7 hours before 7 PM.... 5 hours after 7 PM is 12 AM....
Lol yeah Im in the middle of auto tuning my voice. It doesn't sound "beast" enough :x.
Oh. One problem then. I have dinner at that time. vmv 2 PM?
Haha good luck with that. Dont overdo it though.
I've always wondered what you thought of my questionably sane choice, rip me a new one, Ters.
Thats shadow. On divine. I dont see it balanced anywhere. Not to mention how the combo itself isnt great and you can see one in every Haven...
Okay I was just fiddling around on AH preview and came up with this:
http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/b/b6/M99Costume1.png
I know that the purple doesn't match and it's hard to say the brown does, too, but does the rest of it? :o
How do you think the Dusky Wolver Tail looks on this? Obviously this is something that I won't be able to afford in a long time, but...
http://imgur.com/g5hAx
http://imgur.com/5avNk
And man, at first I wasn't sure about the costume, but the more I look at it the more I like it.
Hm. hm, hm. I like HM moves. Ters do you know if it's purple or violet that matches the purpley color in dusky? I think it's purple.
Serell, that looks fine. Would make more sense with prisma VVs!
And Mike, violet. Indigo if you're feeling darker. Purple is almost pink.

Something I was thinking of doing, but maybe not anymore, because the new helms have floaty flowers. Also debating on putting a prisma cat tail on that outfit.
That will be common, Yuka.. dunno, go with it if you're fine with that cause the armors fit okay... and about that cat tail... I happen to be searching for one.
Night, yes there can be. :)
Yeah. I know it's pretty bog-standard. Though, got a different question for you now that I think about it.
Assuming the "standard" vog cub coat + volc valk wings + pumpkin bomb bando, for infernal helm to match the body, should I use that fancy feather or a different one? The only thing I can see weird about using the fancy feather is that it only matches my PC, which is going to stay indigo, whereas the rest of the armor is quite red/yellow/black. That also being said, I have not managed to find a plume that matches those colors, as both volcanic and toasty plumes look too.... greyscale to match the rest.
Thought so. I think the only plume that'd match my PC is prismatic or dusky, and neither of them match the infernal helm... at all. Bleh. Worse off, I really can't see any of them having a red/black hue to them, unless if I missed one.
Thanks anyways for the tips. Hopefully I can find something workable.
I'm trying to get a Heavy Cat Tail for THIS outfit in hopes of looking more monkey like (Due to me liking monkeys, of course.) I'm just wondering what your opinion on it is and if I should add the tail if and when I find it.
Thank you for your time and/or soul.
Oh god the image is hard to see cause it's spinning so much, just merge the pictures from different angles in one static one.
But from what I can see, I think that a heavy cat tail would match (off the bat ofc, didn't actually preview it) and would help that look. But one thing that bothers me is the white on the vitakit. X_X I suggest removing that.
And good job on this outfit! Despite some minor off-shade flaws, it's pretty good. :)
So I just made a new costume (I also finally learned how to do that fancy text/link thingy)
I'm aiming for a "space jelly"-ish look. Opinions?
"I'm trying to get a Heavy Cat Tail for THIS outfit in hopes of looking more monkey like "
So sad... now that I think about it, the cat tail does look like a monkey tail.... Why, why OOO? I love cats and would have loved a cat tail that looked like a cat tail ._.
Well here's my first crack at it:
Infernal guardian armor + volcanic demo helm + toasty mecha wings + toasty goggles, with red PC (or whatever color matches)
I like this setup but I'm not sure if infernal is toasty or volcanic....the two look so similar. From your color guide, it seems that the infernal armor is both toasty and volcanic (with the brown bits and the fire-feet). Sorry I don't have a picture, I don't have the guardian armor pack yet and I'm not sure how to do the fancy "post a link but you see different text in the post" bit.
@Wach
That looks fine and all, Thewach, your PC fits it pretty well, too, only one thing.. it's overused. I see it everywhere. :c
@Serell
At least you don't see it as.. yeah.
@Pela
That sounds pretty okay! :) And.. infernal.. IN-FER-NAL. Matches a volcanic helmet... it's not rocket science to figure out it's volcanic.. it has the grey and brown of toasty though. But that's minor so it can be considered volcanic with small toasty elements. And use < a href="link here"> text here < /a>
Ters I need your pedantically super MATCHCOLOURS skills.
Grey feather cowl. Ironmight plate mail.
That totally obscure blue on the cowl is actually on that plate mail (this might be considered common knowledge, idk, I don't actually pay attention to what's common, but it was like "omigod what is this" for me).
The greyish brown is used across stuff too.
There is glowing on both pieces.
But.
But.
The red and the light grey on the mail and the dark brown on the weird top bit of the hood. ;_;
Not that I think the latter can be worked with, but it doesn't stand out all that much with the other brown.
Heavy/toasty/divine colourschemes are as far as I can tell the only ones that come even close to matching this, but none of them do it well. What is thissss.
Red/vermillion PC
Toasty VVs
Something divine idfk
I can't really work without pictures
Or well, work well. Since I'm saying it all off the bat.
I'd derped out of SK before going "hay Ters might have an idea". :V
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z121/Mazzelh/Derps/GreyIron.png Thar you go. Also VVs are failtastic on hoods (they float [ETA: maybe that's only the extra ones, idk D: ]). Also feel free to ignore the headband. It's for lols, although it err. Works in the colours, at least.
Hell is hot. Hot is toasty. Hell = toasty? :o
And thanks!
So Ive had what I call my "Blast Bomb" costume for a while now, but I was never able to completely finish it cause I was never sure if I wanted to take it in a different direction or not. Currently here's what it would look like if I got 10k to buy the sky personal color

http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy188/Likemike1028/BacknothingSpecial... <---Back (although irrelevant)
And heres a direction that I was considering but ultimately scraped
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy188/Likemike1028/Vermillionfront.png <--- Vermilion Color scheme front
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy188/Likemike1028/vermside.png <--- Vermilion color scheme side
the vermilion would have a heavy bomb bandolier instead of the crest*
I have serveral problems/plans that i cant really test out due to AH and money limits. First off, I do plan on getting another bombhead. I want both the frosty bomb-head and the spiral one. But since I can't preview or obtain them easily, its hard to test how well each of these would look. My fear is that it would drift it away from the "blast" bomb look. with the frosty bomb-head I might be able to pair it with the ice queen jelly mail though to get a nice freeze bomber costume going. sadly I cant test that either. And its super expensive.
My second problem is that I cant find a shield to match the first outfit. I settled on the rock jelly shield, but in the end i decided that the grey didnt fit very well. I was thinking one of the breaker shields...
I guess what I'm asking is how would taking the costume in another direction work out and what shield could I pair with my original
As I said, red/vermillion PC. Remove dat ugly band. Prismatic Spike Mohawk or a prismatic top acc..that goes on the top (the base of the prism is the same as the white on the armor I believe). Toasty VVs are fine, I thin,
Volcanic is hotter than toasty. Lava > Fire. Lava > Toast. Lava > Sausages.
Bromon, that's not too bad. I don't even see it as much either. The sky PC definitely helps, however, you need some red and a bit more brown on the helmet, if not prismatic too. What I suggest, is a toasty side accessory to resolve the red/brown problem. Or maybe go with prismatic to resolve the prism problem. No helmet back accessory would fit in this case. Imo at least. Scarf would clipfest. And I agree with scraping the second one.
I believe your current bombhead may be the best as it matches the main color of the armor pretty well. As for shield, shields rarely have a color scheme so.. yeah, icebreaker line would be the best I guess. Or just none. I say that this current combo is the best for the look you want, with the changes I mentioned making it better.
Now that I have a costume in making I want an opinion on, I may as well post here again.
Angelic Helm/Drake Scale Armor.

I was also thinking drake scale Helm/Dread Skelly (http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4922/qbul7.png) since they seem to match well.
Eh, I don't know.
First off, the second one is a no-no. The armor is extremely bulky compared to the head and it just doesn't look right.
The first one seems okay, except that there needs to be more of that light teal-grey from the front of the armor that shows up on the helm too (I think some dusky accs could be your only saviors), and that your personal color doesn't work too well with it.
Can you help me on what set can help me with any one of those costumes?
Technically the first would be ok, BUT. The helmet has too much of the light grey and the armor has too much of the brown. I doubt there's any helmet acc to have enough of the brown, but you can comepnsate with a heavy bandolier on the armor. You PC is perfect too, as the armor needed red on the front. I think the 0* vita would look better.
Tohru.. SK really doesn't have anything that would resemble that. The closest you can get is probably a dusky proto armor of the kind that looks like cobalt, and a rock jelly helm, which doesn't even have the needed colors, and doesn't fit all that well.
Rock Jelly inorder to create somethings similar?
I thought we shouldn´t create boring costumes with the same themes? Mine is creative.I dont care what u say >:)
