Decided to go for a sort of ninja-type desert wanderer look for my Daredevil, built mainly around the headscarf piece. The shoulders were too good to pass up, I think they fit quite nicely. The daggers are from my purple set from pre-HoT, but they ended up working great because they match his purple skin and yellow eyes that peek from under the scarf.

Let's hope for an updated idle staff animation!

while I do like the armour combination (and you are right, the shoulders do look surprisingly good with this!) I find the dye work kinda flat :/ this cold grey doesn´t really say desert to me and it kinda misses an accenting colour. Maybe you could incorporate smth from the weapons colours?
And I personally would drop on of the Sneakthief pieces, but that is just personal style I guess
Overall I like the direction you are headed in!

I'm partial to cold greys overall, so that's probably why everything is so monochrome. I will try to incorporate at least one other color, see how that works out. Also, you're right -- I've been looking for an alternative for the Sneakthief gloves recently, so I'll probably change that soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm sorry but those screenshots hurt my eyes, they are soo bright. and the bloom effect makes the armor blend with the sky.

The Armor combo is really nice! though i agree in the colors being a bit flat, a little more contrast wouldn't hurt i think.
Also maybe dyes with a slight sand color would bring out the desert feel more aswell.

Aw sorry about the screenshots - I just kind of got used to these settings.

I'll actually check out the brown-hued dyes for the first time in a while, thanks for the tip!

I love the theme and the armor combo! It's a pretty original use of the daredevil scarf :)
But I agree, the screens seem too bright, maybe it's because of that but the dyes seems indeed a bit flat to my taste ;)
Great idea though!

Thanks for the comment! I've recently modified this outfit a little bit, so now it's a mix of a soft purple (Tungsten) and Cashmere for the accents -- and it is a lot less flat indeed.
