Tricolor Mk. 1: how to do it.

I did a Christmas costume for Tricolor, and you can see the original version of the character in the texture file under the final one. I've seen one illustration of her and wonder if there are any more? I have this urge to make my own version of the original character since Character Obscura is all about little known, obscure, and single-appearance (or non-appearance) characters.

For those of you who don't know, the original version of Tricolor (who must have had a different name) wore an aviator's helmet, fur-trimmed flight jacket, and carried a gun. I'm thinking of using Gren's Lady Blackhawk as a starting point.

Any information or suggestions will be appreciated.

I'm puttiing this in Skins because I'm not sure where else to put it. Scopes? I dunno.

Did a few searches, but didn't come up with much.

Here's one that might be helpful: http://freedomforce.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tricolour.gif

Confused on the query. Are you asking how to make it into a nif or what the costume looks like? Also whether your doing your own take on it or basing it on the image?

For a skope I would just texture the aviator cap on a bald mesh since it looks skin tight. Add goggles to the top of the forehead, I have a few of those of you can't find anything else. Add caps over the ears. Add a skirt to psyche out the appearance of that jacket, the belt will help create the illusion. I have that exact buckle on too many of my releases. I added an aviator costume to Squirrel Girl, maybe some of that would be useful. Add fur trim to the Spine01 node for the jacket and trim to the wrists via the Forearm nodes then the hair to the back of the head and your set.

I like the idea BTW. I noted too that most of the FFVTTR characters have some kind of variant image (hence Sea Urchin on a Sea Horse).

CB's link goes to a copy of the picture I've seen. I forgot that she had a sword too; that will take a little thought...
