Power Based Coverings

A full power based body covering that we see in superheroes like Fire, Iceman & Silver Surfer might seem simple and easy to recreate, but there are a few things to consider when choosing parts & effects.

Texture
If you're going for something completely smooth like Fire, you can't use a material simply because those need to be applied to gear and there is no seamless bodysuit. You'll be limited to one of the skins (and remove all of the gear styles), which you can change the color of. For an effect that's textured like ice (above) or lava, you don't have to worry as much because the bump map in the material overpowers the slimline seams. My ice character is wearing slimline chest & legs & wizardly hands.

Face
If you go with material route, the face is actually not that straightforward because you need something to cover the whole head while letting the face shape out, otherwise you won't get the material, but the skin underneath. For my character, I have the head style as one of the slimlines that exposed the hair & full face. The face style is called "druid," which I think might be the only option that shows a full face that can be enhanced with a material. If you're going the smooth route, you don't have to worry about this at all and you're free to use one of the glowing eye styles as well.
