Danger


Danger was once the holographic training room of the X-Men, who gained sentience, tried to murder them all, and then eventually joined the team. That's actually a way more common pattern than you might think. Apart from being a robot Danger can project holograms, shift her form, and come up with all sorts of deadly weaponry.

Colours
Palette 01: 00B3A2Palette 02: 051793Palette 03: 001EEDPalette 04: None
Skin: 000000Eyes: NoneHair: 0846FFMakeup: 00D8FF.

Make sure to position the Palette 01 colour in your first slot. It's the light blue/green you'll use for the eyes, and because of its position in first place will also be the colour of your movement 'trail' when you're running around. It also needs to be in the third position colour slot (the last one) on the head piece for you to get the narrow, robotic, glowing eyes.

Some parts of the costume are metallic and thus tint darker than the others. Use the light blue in the Palette 03 slot to offset this.

I've used the Lava skin to replicate the look of glowing internal circuity underneath Danger's metal exoskeleton. There have been a lot of version of this character, each with their own specific details, so I've mainly modelled this style on the original, seen in the pages of Astonishing X-Men. I think the combination of styles does a good job of making your toon look robotic, rather than human.

Character Choices
Power: GadgetsWeapon: Hand BlasterMovement: AcrobaticsBody TypeMonarch SmallPersonalityPowerful.
Since Danger is an A.I., or sentient robot, then really anything from the Gadgets trees that you wanted to use, combined with her gun hand, is going to work. The powers that look like they are coming out of that gun, like Photon Blast, or Vortex Cannon look the best.

Danger sometimes generates a pair of wings to fly. So you could use Flying instead of Acrobatics if you so chose. I even had her Skimming around for a little bit.

  1. Amazing work as always. So I've been playing a storm toon a lot lately and I tried making her Astonishing X-Men costume but haven't had any luck, so I was wondering if you had any ideas. Thanks!

    1. Oh also what powers would you suggest for Medusa since there aren't any hair powers.

    2. Storm is my next project.

      For Medusa... I wouldn't do her. Not only are there no hair powers, there's no hairstyle that would even remotely match. Sadly there are just some we can't pull off. :(

    3. So if Starfire/Fire's hair was ever to be released would you make her then?

    4. Nope. The only way I'd make Medusa is if they made a 'hair' powerset. LOL

  2. I L-O-V-E-D, i want a toon that i'm having a hard time creating, it's Hela, i can't find any head piece that matches with her horns.

    BTW, Can you create an Kate Bishop or Nico Minoru toon? I would love to see then.

    1. I'm planning on doing Kate. The problem with Nico is that there is no good staff/wand that matches hers. Otherwise I would have, I loved that character.

      As for Hela... Good suggestion. I'll give it a go!
