Description
Thanks to I am now able to make screenshots while playing SCV. Thank you, my dear!
She told me how screenshots can be made with a PS3 (maybe I was just too blonde to figure out what everybody else knew from the beginning) and so I wanted to try it out.These are six costumes I made for Tira. She is still my favourite model. I love the way she looks like and her personality is creepy as hell. And I love to create new costumes for her. She is definitely one of my favourite characters of Soulcalibur.
The first one was inspired by her SCIII 1P outfit. I liked this crazy paradise bird look very much, especially the teal hair even though I wonder how people were able to dye their hair teal in that century...
The second costume is a recreation of her SCIII 2P outfit. The original hairstyle is still available in the game so I decided to recreate the whole costume. Of course it does not perfectly look like the costume from SCIII but I think it's close enough. But I miss the fur collar with the skulls.
The third one was inspired by her SCIV 1P clothing. I liked her very much with dark hair and those pigtails were gorgeous. It is really a shame that there aren't any feather accessoires in the game yet. I hope they will add some to another DLC package soon.
The fourth is a tribute to one of my favourite musicians, Emilie Autumn. I love her songs and in my opinion she sometimes even sounds like Tira. I am so happy that Tira's SCV 1P hairstyle allows one to use several colours so I could add the white streaks.
The fifth was inspired by catwoman. I have to admit, I have never seen or read anything that belongs to the Batman universe but I thought it might suit her to wear something like that.
The last costume is my version of Snow White, basically inspired by the Walt Disney version. I had no image of Snow White at hand when I was creating this costume but a 100% recreation of that dress is kinda impossible to make with the SCV character creation mode. I also made some other (Disney-)fairytale-inspired costumes for other characters. Maybe I will upload them someday.
I hope you like those costumes.

I really like all of these designs. The recreations are perfect: my favourite is SCIII 2P. That's almost identical, but the others are also really nice. I cannot really rate the fourth since I don't know the model it is based on (the singer). Catwoman is the weakest in this collection but still a pretty nice design, however, a bit plain. Snow White, however, is my favourite! A really unique idea and an interesting point of view of this character.
Nice job, as usually.

I'm glad to hear you approve the recreations.
I recommend you listening to some songs of Emilie Autumn, maybe try out "Ever", "Willow", "By the Sword", "Castle down" and "Shalott". I think you could possibly enjoy them.
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the DC comics. I just did this for fun because I thought the hat with the cat ears is quite cute so I thought of an outfit in which this hat did not seem that weird.
Concerning Snow White, I wanted to make a "cute-but-creepy" version of that character, maybe a bit Tim Burton-esque (For some reasons, I still imagine Helena Bonham Carter playing Tira in a possible SC film...), but I wanted to keep the colours Disney gave to Snow White. I love the old Disney films and I think it was creepy and gloomy enough.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

No problem, I liked these outfits. The least "recreation" is the first one, but on that one I really liked your ideas how you made her unique. That design is still good for Tira.
I'll listen these songs.
No problem.
Yeah, it's a bit Tim Burton-esque and also, as you mentioned, it looks like as Helena Bonham Carter (especially her hair), but because of the colors it's still a bit different (it's colorful compared to Burton's works), which is good. It's more like those Alice reboots. But with Snow White.
You are welcome. Now I had some free time (I guess you'll realize why), so I commented on those works where I didn't do that previously.

Yes, the first one does not really look like the original outfit but that was somehow impossible to do. I liked the colours of her SCIII 1P costume, even though I cannot imagine it in old times. I mean, how the hell do you get greenish-blue hair? xD But it suits her crazy personality.
I hope you enjoy them.
Yes, it really is colourful in comparison to what Burton usually does. I would love to see a Snow White reboot done by him. Although I guess Helena Bonham Carter would rather play the evil queen.
I guess because you finished your music project.

Yeah, it's different, but still something that looks like as an original design.
Yeah, it could be interesting...even if I'm not a big fan of Burton. ^^" Most of his works are not my cup of tea.
Yeah, that's right.

I'm not the hardcore Burton fan, but I enjoyed Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd very much, I liked the gloomy atmosphere. It's a similar atmosphere I have in mind when listening to Emilie Autumn's songs, this victorian gothic creepy elegance. I cannot really describe it but I love that feeling and I already have planned a story which makes use of this atmosphere. It's the story which features Faye, the girl on whose costume design you've already commented.
I know what you mean.

Yeah, that vampire movie of Burton was really bad. What I want to see from him is two movie: Ed Wood and Big Fish, as they are his best works and overall, they are nice movies. Especially the latter: you couldn't tell that it was made by Tim Burton. O_o I have no problem with gothic style, in fact, a year ago or two I really liked it, but today I'm more interested in orientation and ancient chinese/japanese culture and philosophy. Yeah, Faye has a really nice design, and any information about this story could be nice.
Yeah, it's 100% free to download, as it is the digital version. I'm planning to do a real version, a real CD, however, as some kind of "limited" edition, as I think nobody would pay for a digital copy, but for a real life copy, they would. (Even thought it won't be expensive.)
