6th Year Anniversary Cosmetic Meg Thomas (Fog Walker)
I've already submitted my cosmetic entry through the proper twitter forms but would like to drop it here for everyone to see as well.
My cosmetic is called "Fog Walker" that was created for the original survivor Meg Thomas. I entered an old design last time very similar to this one, but I've revamped it a bit more over the years, mainly since I've grown a bit more in the art path and ideas.
After being trapped by the Entity for 6 years, forced to endlessly wander through the Fog, one is surly to change in many ways.
Over the years Meg's hair had drastically, growing much longer from when she had originally arrived. Keeping a little classic, Meg keeps her iconic braid, just a bit more altered in design - just enough to keep it out of her eyes. War paint on her face that she made with mud - a reminder she was still fighting. Her clothes are kept dark - she's learned the hard way that wearing anything with too much color will draw the attention of unwanted beings. Her shirt tattered after all the fights and chases she had escaped over the years. A bloody mask strapped to her hip that she keeps close by at all times. It once saved her life as for when she wore it, a killer had mistaken her as one of them. Her left arm bandaged after being wounded during her long search for an escape from this realm. And knee-high boots without laces. She opted for this change after her running shoes had untied and tripped her during a chase. Can't trip over laces that don't exist.
The story behind my cosmetic is that Meg has altered herself in many ways over the years she had been trapped. Shifting from an athletic student to a survivalist in search of an escape before the Fog swallows her up permanently. Let me know what you all think - and don't forget to submit your own entries too on the Twitter Forms!

Thank-you so much! I've noticed as well that cosmetics of this nature have been less and less nowadays, and I wanted to give a little return to them as it is what we started out with when the game first released. I still of course love the cosmetics we get to this day, but a little return to the classics couldn't hurt anyone. I'm glad you like it!

I'm a sucker for themed cosmetics that are based on future scenarios
There was a series of L4D modded skins that were based on what the survivors would look like after the events of the games and I get similar vibes from this!
Have you had any other ideas for the other survivors using this theme?

Oh heck yeah! I'm wanting to make cosmetics of this theme for all Original survivors. I just started with Meg cause she was the first survivor I ever played when I bought the game. I'm planning to make it a collection simply called Fog Walkers cause after years and years of being trapped - they deserve to have a name different from just 'Survivors' - cause at this point, they're doing a whole lot more than just surviving. My plan is to do down the line of survivors. I may start working on Dwight next, and go from there.

Seeing a more serious looking dwight outfit would be refreshing considering most of his outfits are lighthearted/funny
'No longer nervous' would be a cool name for the outfit
Great work once again! :]

Thank-you so much, it means a lot to hear I'm not the only one who thinks like that cosmetic wise

You should be awarded with this free skin and some cells. Amazing.

Awe thank-you. It makes me super happy to know you like it! I just thought a jump back to the past of classic horror cosmetics would be a nice change from what we get nowadays. And from what I heard the winning cosmetic won't be a linked set so people will get to mix match as much as they like! ;D

And you are absolutely right.

I just see a lot of brighter more fashion like cosmetics and don't get me wrong they're beautiful to look at, however, I don't tend to buy them only because most all the maps are dark and if I wore a brighter cosmetic I'd just stand out like a beacon. I'm already bad enough as is at the game lol. But I ain't giving no one a free win lol. They gotta find me first.

Do you think the winner gets a free copy of their winning cosmetic?

I think some players got for free. I mean the cosmetic creators. Idk how about cells.

Love the concept, it would be amazing to get elder versions of the original four release characters and witness some of their growth in the fog this way. Best of Luck.

Awe thank-you so much. I'm happy you like the concept. It's like my little love letter to the game to kinda show the development of the survivors and how they adapted and survived so long in the fog.
