Description I don't normally do super heroines, and I prefer to focus on OC's, however I make an exception with Dazzler.  I have a huge soft spot for her ever since she appeared in the X-Men Arcade Game   I didn't know much about the character then (only that she was insanely hot in a camp, kinda late 80s way).  But since then I have been going back, doing research and getting hold of back issues of both the eponymous 'Dazzler' comic and Uncanny X-Men - who she joined after her the 45th and final edition of her own comic.

Dazzler has a number of assets (a couple of big ones) that appeal to me, not least her blonde bob cut and outrageous blue body suit (which was something of a forerunner to that of Samus Aran ).  She had a number of outfits including a terrible one that included roller skates (lol) but for me this is the one that matters.  I had a lot of fun making the outfit as accurately as possible.

If you like this and want to see more I am currently in a run of Dazzler pics over on Patreon  - she is in a fight with some henchmen right now and it may not end well for her.  Mwahahahahahahah.

Sorry not to be posting more these days - all my time and effort goes into Patreon.  You can join over 150 patrons there right now, starting with a $2.95 monthly pledge which you can cancel at any time.  There are now several hundred pictures covering nearly a two year period, equivalent to everything I have posted on deviantART, so if you're missing new postings from me, it would be great to have you come and show your support for my Patreon.

Thanks!

So, this is the outfit from the arcade game and the short-lived cartoon.  The one in your avatar is SLIGHTLY different (no jacket, different sleeves, smaller logo) which was her final outfit in the X-Men Comics.  However you will be pleased to know that I made that one too

Nice job, she looks great I've always had a crush on her, I liked her peter Parker type issues wanting to be famous, but seems to be pulled in to a super heroes life...

Two things:

1. You nailed the costume (and or course, Rogue would later steal that jacket, but can you blame her?) While I don't know if most superheroines can function in heels, they're actually easier to fight in than rollerskates.


2.  Sorry, but while this is the costume I first met her in, I'm still a bigger fan of her face-paint/roller skate phase.


Which model did you use for Dazzler herself?

Torqual3D In reply to Sailmaster-Seion [2018-12-04 03:47:00 +0000 UTC]

I may go back and try to make the face paint and roller skate outfit, even though it takes camp to a new level.

Dazzler here is based on good old Victoria 4 - I don't use Genesis or anything newer.

Okay, so I'm assuming you're using the standard V4 bodysuit, so I'll ask this then...


Is there anyway I can get that texture?

Torqual3D In reply to Sailmaster-Seion [2018-12-05 23:18:54 +0000 UTC]

The V4 Body Suit has limitations.  I have used Supernova's Hot Body.  Do you have that?

Did you prefer to play as Dazzler?  I'll admit I usually defaulted to Cyclops or Colossus, since I found their mutant powers the most useful.

I only played as Dazzler...  as I just wanted to admire her and didn't mind her getting KO'd, even though it cost me money.

Classic Dazz! This is what she looked like when I started buying the Uncanny X-Men many moons ago. Chris Claremont on story duty, Marc Silvestri on the art. Good times, great comic books.

You won't be disappointed. After that I recommend the Jim Lee X-Men series from 1991.

Pretty much the only incarnation of Dazzler that I liked through the years. Claremont had a way of taking gimmick characters apart and putting them back together in a way that made them great characters. Anyway, you nailed Dazzler's costume perfectly.

Wow you really ARE a die hard Dazzler fan.  Is this your favourite of her 3-4 outfits?  This is the 'Pryde of the X-Men' and X-Men arcade version which is similar but not exactly the one in your avatar.  I may make that variant.  I am not much a fan of the white one with bell bottoms and roller skates...  How can two outfits for the same super heroine be so different?

Dave-Dreamer In reply to Torqual3D [2018-11-24 10:50:30 +0000 UTC]

The blue suit was always my favorite namely because Ali finally got a writer, namely the late Archie Goodwin, who treated her seriously as the heroine she was meant to be. And the blue suit symbolized that.

My take on Dazzler is she was this professional performer who was as much a damsel in distress as she was a knee-jerk super heroine.

A damsel because she was a mutant and thus a target. I saw her as being someone who had to untie her own figurative and literal ropes and be her own hero most of the time. 

She was a so-called "reluctant" super heroine, because she had other goals other ambitions, and didn't have the drive or confidence of other super heroes. But she was a woman who was very much ruled by her conscience. And so always tried to do the right thing no matter what. It was just the way she was. A super powered Good Samaritan. Thus the knee-jerk super hero attitude I always saw her as having.

To me, her being a singer was something she did when she wasn't getting into fistfights with evil. Just as Thor was once a doctor, Ironman an industrialist, DareDevil a lawyer, Spidey a student with a part-time job, Ali was in show-biz. We didn't buy their books to see them at their "day jobs." We bought them to see them being heroes. And if Marvel had treated her Just as seriously as they did the others I'm sure she'd have gone far as a hero. Instead we got Dr. Sax and Johnny Guitar. Revenge crazed fashion designers. It's amazing her book lasted as long as it did. Archie Goodwin finally turned things around for her but it was too little too late.

As for the silver suit. It was a stage outfit meant for performing songs and dances in. But since Ali was at the time actually a civilian, a plainclothes heroine, that suit became her unofficial hero costume as well. She finally ditched the suit and skates and actually was a plainclothes heroine for awhile.

Thanks for all of this...

I have recently been ordering old Dazzler and X-Men comics (late Dazzler, hi numbered issues 38 to end) and X-Men in the range 214-219 (where she first makes her appearance).  This is also the blue suit era.  I want to fully research this period.  Can you recommend any stories or issue numbers I should be chasing up?

Also, I think that you of all people should go and check out the 14 pictures I have done of blue suit Dazzler over on my Patreon.  I have her in some pinup and modelling poses, some poses using her powers, and a comic style sequence where she is fighting some henchmen.  I have put a lot of love into this pics and am adding to them daily at the moment.  She's getting a good run.  You would have to pledge the lowest tier ($2.95) but if it's not generally something you want to follow after that, just cancel immediately - I really don't mind.  I think someone as much into Dazzler as you are would appreciate this.  If you do sign up, click www.patreon.com/MoreTorqual3D/… and it will sort the feed of posts to just show the Dazzler ones.
