13rimstone Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm personally quite fond of the female form and have no objections to skin at all, but there's a lot to be said for a little mystique, too. Sometimes, it's what can't be seen that occupies the mind more than what can. And please- I'm not posting this to pass judgement on anyone that prefers the skimpy anime themes- I have my own favorites in that department too. But when that's almost all there is... it just gets a bit old. What I am saying is that there's a lack of choices out there for those that would like characters to be pretty without being slutty, who realize that feminine is not necessarily a synonym for weak. There are some really talented artists in this community, and I'd like to challenge them to do something a little different. I'd do some of these myself, but I haven't done any real modding in a very long time. The limits life imposes these days mean that I really don't have time to relearn all the ins and outs of Max, and sorry, but Blender is a frickin' nightmare. I always loved the simplicity of Milkshape, but there's no nif plugin, and I don't think it would handle the subtilties of modern vertex weighting anyway.... But enough on that rant. I'm going to post images of a few suggestions for lore-friendly-ish armor and clothing sets for inspiration, and I invite others to do the same. If it's not your cup of tea, please no trolling or flaming- again, I'm trying to promote a venue for something different, not judge your tastes. You're welcome to them. So, here goes, armor first: (Yeah, the bow and quiver are kinda weenie-ish, but I love the armor) http://z3.ifrm.com/170/20/0/p398449/Susan_s_Narnia_movie_costume.jpg http://www.canmag.com/images/front/narnia/princecaspian19.jpg http://www.freewebs.com/white-lady-of-rohan-gallery/Eowyn_RotK_20.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the only game to be made from that series was that bad one about ten years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlGamer55 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Would love to see the armor in the first pic on the first post, the green dress in the fourth picture on the second post and all the clothing/armor in the third post lol. The last picture reminds me of triss's armor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
