Halloween Designer Challenge 2017

[Mayor-Of-Mustard]

Won't be surprised if the first pre-order for DOA6 is just belly-dancer costumes for the ENTIRE CAST

tbh idk if it's the same situation but last year i entered a spider christie and another spider christie won but i was ok with it cause that one was better ngl.

I also remember all the Alice in Wonderland Marie Roses. And they were all heavily inspired by the Disney version. Blue, short dress, white apron. It took several contests until TN finally did a Marie Rose Alice though.
And I was like:
Finally! Because I really wanted her as Alice (and Eliot as the White Rabbit )...

That looks very nice,
Also this question is off topic but: who do you main Tyaren ?

“I think you would care if someone copies you and takes credit for your work. work that are hours of sketchd, design and digital edition. and at the end comes aTROL, copy your design in 5 minutes and everyone applauds.”

This is why, if you have a good concept like his, you should email it to TN instead.

The people who made Black Swan should’ve emailed it to TN instead of putting it in theaters now all these artists are copying it smh

Why didn't Team Ninja credit Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the composer of the original Swan Lake ballet?
Why didn't Team Ninja credit Jacob W. Davis for inventing jeans?

Derivative works should always credit the source material, dating back thousands of years. Any time I eat meat, I give proper credit to my homo-erectus ancestors for inventing the use of fire, as should you.

That is the reference, like Christie's catwoman-inspired costume. This artist's costume as a whole (pattern and design, execution) is the actual concept.

 

[Onryoki]

That's the obvious reference, just like Christie's catwoman-inspired costume.

The costume as a whole (pattern, design, shoes) is the concept.

The whole swan concept is pretty common, just like the belly dancers etc, do you know how many people came up with belly dancers ? Do TN really have to credit them as well just for the concept ?

No offense but...

[Paige]

TN just moved from belly dancers to swans in a year. It will remain an awesome original design submitted in the wrong year.

 

[KasumiLover]

Can we all just stop arguing regarding this concept mumbo jumbo? >.>

And can anyone confirm if they even fixed the online issues yet? My friend still can't get the content on Xbox one and he bought the season pass, yet it still says he needs to pay the price

Not yet, I think they’ll tweet it once they fixed it.

So.... after 5 Halloweens.. what was your saddest disappointment, your happiest surprise, the worst design, the best design, and finally THE missing costume ? (for any reason)

Disappointment: Lisa getting a superhero swap from Tina in 2013 when she had other good submissions
Surprise: La Mariposa finally getting a good Halloween costume in 2014 after so many years (@Kodachi )
Worst: Halloween Nurse Sarah in 2013 because... erm.. what was that again? A purple-orange lazy mess...
Best: Easiest choice would be Marie-Antoinette Helena.. let's say Mad Hatter Brad in 2015! Really good! Who did it btw?
Missing: Alchemist Brad! Such a good fit, imagine him drinking some green potion. Maybe in December if it's another Fan Award Pack!

Spoiler

Another disappointment was yesterday after seeing the bad textures/physics they gave to Lorelei Helena lol

 

[Brute]

Saddest Disappointment: No Bananakira
Worst Design: Fox/Werewolf Hayabusa or Mummy Hayabusa
Best Design: Probably Vampire Hunter Ein
THE Missing Costume: Bananakira

☆Disappointment: Most of Kasumi's Halloween costumes being meh or garbage

☆Surprise: Rachel and Naotora both getting the entries I wanted for them this year

☆Worst: Marie Rose's witch costume from a year or two ago and Kasumi's 2014 costume, it looks tacky and like they reduced her measurements

☆Best: Can't choose... pretty much all the ones I bought besides the ones above. Phase 4's pink horned hoodie leotard is definitely one of my faves

☆Missing: Workout Eliot, I wanted that to win >.>

[Jackie Chan Fan]

I like Momiji's mummy design. I hate it when TN reused it for Mila and Ryu.

A suprise would be anything that covered very little skin. I'm surprised that TN used that design.

Worst design for me is anything with pumpkin in the head. Can't see who's the character unless I select him on the character selection screen. hahaha

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

A lot of people are talking about belly dancers, but pirates actually cover 5% of all the costumes!

Spoiler

yeah, I love statistics

Another missing opportunities would have been a Yakuza Rig, a Carnival Lisa, an Oni Mila, a Raven/Plague Doctor Nyotengu, a Futakushi-onna Momiji, a Cheshire Ayane, a Milkman Eliot and a Chef Hitomi... crazy it wasn't done.

I would have loved Beauty and the Beast matching costumes for Bayman and Helena, but... first I want my Phantom of the Opera muahaha. 6 contests I'm trying lolz... by the way, again, thank you @ShinobiOfTheWind and @axouel2009 for your assistance!

What a beautiful collage. Crazy that there's been 5 Halloween packs now after all this time! So many good outfits. I wonder what the December pack will be? And I wonder/hope that once doa6 comes out that we will continue to get Halloween packs and contests for that too!

It was a shame to see Lisa get a swap of Tina's when she had her own submissions but luckily I liked it and It was modified at least. So I wouldn't call it a disappointment personally since I like that outfit. And for best there's been to many that I really like to pick just one or two that are what I'd call the best.

 

[Mayor-Of-Mustard]

Disappointment: The mummies + copypaste outfits.
Surprise: I'm not even going to say it. It's too obvious.
Worst: Most of Sarah's, but the newest one is the best!
Best: Kappa.
Missing: Werewolf Sarah and that Gen Fu costume that I mentioned a page or two back.
