Once, there was a soundless. Though they had cut themselves off from their brethren and the Pale Tree in their mind, silencing those in their mind was not enough; there was still so much noise in the soundless villages. And so, the soundless armed themselves, and left, searching for true silence. But no matter where they went, everything was still far too loud for them. They traveled further and further away from their home, through forests, across plains, over mountains. The soundless travelled further and further north, into the northern shiverpeaks, even as their armour froze over and ice grew on it. Eventually they vanished; though some say the soundless is still searching for somewhere silent enough for them to find peace.

long story short, this character's old look (/look.php?id=10345) was subpar. It was kind of unoriginal, and didn't match the sort of story I wanted to tell for them. and so, here we are with a new look: a cherry tree, frozen over from the snowstorms of the northern shiverpeaks.

I feel A LOT of potential in this idea with the dye job being the strongest point in this
The mix of brown, icy white and little specks of rose is a lovely idea and smth one doesn´t see too often on a Sylvari
I feel that some tiny details could make this look stand out even more: the gloves don´t fit imo; the dragonhead they resemble don´t fit in your well crafted story imo; if you want some icy looking gloves, why not try the Grasping Dead Gauntlets? Dyed right I could also imagine the Oaken gloves working well here
Overall your dye scheme is already great, as I mentioned and I already like what you did on the top especially, but I feel like the icy dye could be a bit darker? I just feel like the pieces you used it on lose a bit too much texture; maybe it is more a problem of the dye itself than of the shade
I´d also wish for some more screens, there are multiple snowy areas with actual cherry trees in them where she would fit right in!
So to sum it up: I love your overall idea and concept, it is great and I am extremely willing to give you a gold if you just improve tiny details on this look!

Like said above great concept but you should really work ou the details more and start with the dye ;)

It's a great idea ! I love the concept and the dyes. Sadly the screens aren't good quality but I guess that it's not your fault. Maybe if the icy blue would be darker it could be even more awesome !
So, I'm giving you a gold, because I love what you did here, and even if there's some points that you can work on, it's still great :)

This is a wonderful demonstration of integrating a partial-corruption look into a set. The armor and concept are great.

I will agree with what's already been stated: it could use a bit of work with the dyes. More specifically, while the mix of themes (icy and natural) is well-done, I feel like the two, individually, look a bit flat. Obviously, this is largely due to the fact that the entire outfit used only two dyes.

Fix that up, and it should be an instant gold. Also, the pink flowers in the hair add a lovely contrast-- good work on that!

This is possibly one of the best concepts I've seen since I joined. But I have to agree with the above, need to work on the dyes some more, the ones you have are muddying up the whole surface.

And a concept this great deserves better screenshots. :)
