Super Booster Ideas
June 16, 2010 - 4:09pm
Today I was sort of inspired to take a stab at a pack I think would be neat. I've got some other ideas, but they're harder to translate and will take more time to do. If anyone wants to see the thread and hasn't done so, then go here.
Though the one thing I really want to see added isn't exactly booster pack worthy - I just want to see new patterns, including asymmetrical patterns as well as a one sleeve option for tops and gloves that go up to the bicep area.
In any case, what I did today was elemental/energy themed.
Ice, fire and rock/lava. The parts outlined in purple are just some armor like parts to spice it up - I realize fire would be tricky since it can't move.
Energy, with an electricity effect on the right as an option.
I think the next one I am gonna tackle will be a fantasy themed one, drawing some inspiration from Aion. Though if anyone has an ideas, I could try and tackle them too.

Razor, these are pretty good, especially the energy dude. I'd kill to have that costume in-game. I would definitely suggest you post those in at least David's generic All Things Art thread. He needs to see them. He's proven to be a cool guy that sees things as an artist and a player without handwaving them away as a developer, so he's not beyond being convinced.

I plan on posting the ones above in the booster art thread, cause they're all themed and would work out well for a pack.
A while back I came up with regular costume ideas and posted them in the Jay thread, though today I went and added a new one for them, so I guess I could repost them in the all things art thread.
I am too lazy to create prettier links, so..

I spent some time working on a fantasy inspired costume set, but I need to finish off the armor one first before posting them all.

Ok, rushed the armored one and I think it's the weakest of the three...it was one of the harder ones to do.

Those are neat too! The middle one can only be described as "swashbuckling", while the last one has a cowboy-ish look to it
Thanks Razor!

I would love to have access to a full body cloak/robe.

Yeah, but unfortunately the game design wouldn't work well for it. :/
Like I mentioned way up top, I tried to draw some inspiration from Aion for the last batch. I really like the way most of the armors in Aion looks and there's a void in CoH for that kind of thing, and I think a few sets would fit in really well. To me the red one up there feels Dr. Strange-ish to me and I would love to have a magic character running around in something like that.
If anyone is curious, you can see a lot of Aion armor here.
Now if I do another set, I want to do some high tech stuff and I would kill for some Archangel metallic wings.

You know what else would be awesome? Those golden snake armbands that coil around a girls bicep.

Yeah, I'd like to see other types of jewelry as well like bracelets and other things like the one you mentioned.
And last booster pack idea for a while.
Went for a stealthy techy look, with an armored version as well.
Sorry if it is too dark.

Razor....in all seriousness.....have you contemplated applying for a position with the CoH guys?

As much as I hate to do this.
I agree with Rich.

Yes, even applied for a position as a concept artist a while back, but nothing came of it.

You may want to reapply. THey used to only have about 10 people working on the game. My understanding is that now it's near 100.

This was back when they were going through the growth, right now they've only got an opening for 'Lead Concept Artist' which is weird considering that's David's position.
In any case, I don't really think it's something I would want to do at this point. I'm really enjoying my new job and it's more inline with what I want to do.

Epic and awesome drawings Razor, I only pray that some of these ideas get seen and made a reality, especially the armored ones

I spotted your designs on the official forums, and I have to say again - those are great. The lot of them. I REALLY love the armour designs you have there. Jay's armour has always felt kind of... Alien to me. Like something the Decepticons or the Protoss would come up with. Your design feels a lot more HUMAN to me, like the kind of tech we might produce in the not-too-distant future. It actually reminds me of something like what the human marines had in Aliens, or what Isaac was wearing in Dead Space. Utilitarian tech, vs glass spires and togas tech.
I honestly feel there's a lot of room for that kind of tech in the game, and I hope Jay reconsiders his alien approach.

Razor your designs are a huge hit on the official forums. Even David Nakayama showed some love. I added my voice to the din crying for the Devs to put you on the payroll.

Yeah, I've been silently watching that thread now on and off. I suppose I should chime in over there based on the responses.
It'd be neat to see if some of the ideas do end up in game.

Yeah, Razor, you were a smash hit. There's a whole line of people saying "Hire this guy!" Maybe you should apply again
Seriously, though - that was a good show, and you deserve the praise. Those were some smashing designs.
