ok, i wonna be cleary: i wouldent offend anibody for coltural reason, if sameone feels offended by my post i will call this topic with another name, i have full respect for the arabic comunity and i have full respec for them religion. i hope u will have fun with the pictures.

ok, the look shall be a mix between the classic angel's immaginario (white wing, and white dress etc..) and my personal idea about arabic angel immaginario, but i decide to use Glorious armor becouse look more exotic, i dont use the classic aureola (the light ring on angels head) but i chose to use a golden tiara
what about the weapon: i prefer use a woden staff than a golden or a metal weapon for give her a desertic look.
i will update the story and other screens soon

i will update a variant with golden wings on the skirt, as back and on the lich mantel... :P

How is it offensive? People are doing all sorts of Middle Eastern-inspired looks here. If you say you're inspired by the Arabian Nights, it's definitely not bad. Thanks for being cautious. And your look is great too. Gold!

Personally, I don't like the way the this look is set up. You said you're going for an angelic look, yet don't really include any whites associated with that. The winged motif is there, but I think it's overdone for this look, and might need to be toned down a bit.

With dyes, there is use of this awkward light blue tone just clashes with the wings, armor combination, character skin tone, just about everything, unfortunately... if price is a factor in you creating these looks, perhaps you could look into cheaper alternatives, such as Fog, Icing, etc. These dyes don't have the brightness of White or Celestial, but end up working well. Illumination is fitting, and the Squash dye might be substituted for something a lot brighter.

On top of that, this armor combination has too much going on for me. It feels as if it's a conglomeration of random pieces that don't really flow together. This, coupled with the lanky body type of female norn, make it hard for me to focus on any aspect of it. I also feel as if the tattoos you have chosen, coupled with the armor combination and skin tone draw attention away from the look, instead of complimenting it as a whole. Perhaps you could sacrifice the Masquerade Top and Feathered Bottoms for something a bit more flowing, or at the very least, something that can match the Glorious boots+Gloves or tattoos even.

When I think of angelic, I think of flowing robes, maybe a bit of skin showing, but nothing too revealing. As of now, I think there's too much skin in the wrong places. Perhaps we can shift some exposed skin and also take a look into the Guild, Leystone, or Carapace leggings? I believe these pieces may work well for legs. Likewise with your chestpiece, I think something feathered might work a bit better than the Masquerade top. The Phoenix chest exposes the back just as much as the Masquerade and keeps to the feathered motif, but I think it would work best with different legs, perhaps Leystone Legs/Phoenix Chest?

Try experimenting with these and getting back to me. I feel there's lots of potential, and with a few swaps of armor pieces and maybe a dye touchup, this can be a lot more appealing.

Ok, i will explain u because of my choise:

The price factor dont influnce my dyes choise, for me celestial or pure white are to much used, and i would preserv a less bright look coz this angel will came from desert, i dident use white only winter ice coze remeber white but os not pure like it
Bright: i decide to use only metal dye on arms, crown and legs gear, coz shall look more like singolarity component, i dont use aurelic staff, becose shall look to much metal more armored and we didnt forget, shes came from the desert, an hot full armor or full dress shall be unconfortabl.

Why the norn: norn are more taller than uman, i use the norn with black skin coz will look more like a supernatural thing near to human race silvary and asura.
armor combo: i use masquarade chest and not feather because the feather chest will cover the arm gear converted it to a simple glove, and i want an armored arms, coz shall be the arms of the messaggenr of the god, same story for the foot gear

Why feathered skirt: following the legend seraphine angel has 3 pair of wings 1 for covering them face 1 for flight 1 for covering the feets, i decide to use feather skirt coz have a pair of wing tailored on the back this with the back wings and the lich mantel wings will look like 3 pair of different wings like a seraph.

Show to much skin: i decide to be inpired by "Arabian nights" the tales ambient is Bagdad, and i think in the desert shall be very hot and warming i will be inspire from arabic close, without forget the divinity component, somthing different from mere human.

Probably i will change something but now i like how armor combo and dyes matches, i hope u can understand my bad english and u can understand why i chose this combo and this dyes, btw thx for the tips.

Your looks are really interesting and I keep liking them more and more!
Also this is one damn interesting look you pulled out here. I love the dark skin with the white tattoos and I think you did a great job using Norn as a base for your look especially because of their awesome tattoos. I also like how the top piece reveals those.
The armour combination itself is very mixed up and creative imo. One thing that bothers me are the gloves I think they are a bit too "heavy" but then again it's just a minor little detial.
Nice dye job I actually like the fact that she is more light blueish than terribly white I think her tattoos are making up for the bright wings.
Really pretty screens you definately keep improving your style and your representation of your characters and that is amazing!
Gold for you :3

Wow, those screenshots made it really difficult to see the armor itself.

Love the helmet, not sure on the shoulders. The fangs and eyeball kinda draw away from the angel theme. I know, wings, but I think Dwayna's backpiece would've been better for that. Wait, I see you're using the white wings already. In that case, nevermind on Dwayna's, but the shoulders are still awkward.

The chestpiece is great insofar as it has a mild wing pattern right smack dab in the middle of the front and adds an elegant look to the arms. Unfortunately, without a set of leggings that rides high enough, it looks very awkward. I would change those out without hesitation.

I'm not sold on the glorious gloves and boots, but they don't really clash with the look, either.

While I do like the staff, I think you'd be better served using the Winged staff and matching your colors to it.
