Hey, I'm Belle, the True Belle.
I've always wanted to be like those muscular warriors, fight in mele, look the danger in the eyes, but... my dad said: "No! You're a girl! You will stay at the back, where is safe."
As you can see, I didn't listen to him. I ran away and became a paladin... kind of.

I like the addition of the purple to the typical white/gold combo. The headpiece also looks really great for the kind of look you are going for, and the other armor pieces do lend themselves well to a metal armor appearance. That being said the white/cream color detracts from that affect, I feel. Going with something more in grey/silver would help with that, I tried out Dust Dye on my mesmer and that really makes a great metal affect on the shoulder pieces, but would also mean you probably need a darker purple to compete with the change in base tone from cream.

I would love to see more pictures, especially with a paladin-y themed weapon set! Also a neutral shot of the armor from behind (like the preview window you have as the third image) would be nice to see as well.

I really loved how the creamy and purple colors looked together. I have to see how will look in a shiny color, but definitely I want it to be light theme.
I'm still thinking for the best looking weapons. :/

If you enjoy the combo don't let my comment stop you, of course! Perhaps in that case you can see if maybe the purple being the main color with white accents would work? Or even the gold with white/purple accents. Play around with it!

I was just musing that the white didn't seem to lend itself to a metallic feel to the armor, which would sell the whole paladin theme a little better. But that being said as far as weapons go...Gallant might be a good way to go., or Golden Wing. You might also want to look at the Tenebrous weapons since they have a gold/purple theme to them, if you have a guild with Gilded Hollow and the right vendors unlocked. Ascended weapon skins would also go fine with the detail in her armor, I think!

`this looks like a heavy /light mixed up set which paladins usually are. if u dyed it more like a paladin i would actually think it's a really good look! i'd like to see more later if u can

It's very hard to fine a dye that is shining on all of the parts, because the chest and legs don't shine :/ and I had to give up the purple T.T

i think the squash pieces should be white like u had. the rest is fine. or atleast blend in a little more white into it. making it more holy. Also maybe glorious Armguards would be a nice choice? since you are light. it makes u look heavier. but she already looks better tho ;)
she looks better alrdy tho ;)

i think you should upload this look again so ppl can see it, because you really improved the dyes. they look really nice now :)
but like Kenny already suggested, maybe glorious armguards would look better because of the heavy look and certainly they would go well with the epaulets!

I agree with Chro here. if u would upload it again with the right combo u have now it will get what it deserves. i think it looks way better the way u made it now. u earned my gold ;)

Thank you all again for all the help, without you I wouldn't be able to make it the way it is now ^.^

I don't know if I should delete this look, do you know?

Nah don't delete it, there's an Edit Look option so you can update it regularly when new changes pop up. Can't wait to see some more screenshots! :)
