This is my sylvari mesmer, Claire Deloon.

I usually really don't like any skirt that has to go with a specific top or otherwise it looks really odd with short coats, like something is missing (sorry for the bad explanation) but I really wanted to give this look a try and played around with skin patterns and colors to try to make this work. It's obviously still noticeable but I'm quite happy with the result. This all started with an attempt of making my entire character match the Zodiac shield. I hope you like it!

Wow, she looks like a goddess that descended from the stars!
She´s incredibly beautiful, her skin pattern in combination with the shoulders makes it look like she has a whole galaxy on her skin!
I love the dyes and even if the skirt is a bit cut off, her skin pattern kinda connects it for me
Your choice of weapons is spot on and she is overall a real success to me! Celestial beauty worthy of a stellar gold!

Stunning!
As Elessar pointed out, the skin pattern really adds the finishing touch to the outfit-- bringing the theme to life. I actually attempted a similar theme on my sylvari, but I can't say it's nearly as wonderful as this.
On top of everything, you provided gorgeous screenshots.
This is an instant gold from me!

The dyes and the screens are amazing! But uhh, the armor? I think it doesn't fit her skirt, gold by the way.

I love her!
As Elessar pointed out, the skin looks like a nightsky with thousends of stars. The contrast between the blue and the white glowing parts is awesome and can be found in every weapon and the backpiece, too.
Great beautiful sylvari look!
Gold!

Thank you all for your kind words! Elessar's description was exactly what I had in mind for her to be, it was a pleasure to read. :) You're much better with words than me, I tend to have trouble explaining my thoughts in english.

Concerning the skirt, I do agree it looks cut off and it's been one of my concerns from the start, like I said, I tried to play around with the patterns and I think the result was decent having in mind how cut off the skirt usually looks without its Twilight Arbor chest. I've been trying other leggings to try to find a better fitting one, some look alright but I haven't found any that shows exactly what I wanted this character to be as this one does. Will keep trying! :)

Omg that is a very nice character.
I am simply amazed by the beauty of your character and I really love this exceptional dye- work you did here! This Sylvary looks so stunning, you chose the right skin pattern, right skin tone, the glowing just everything looks merged together just perfectly.
The armour mix itself is very nice I actually don't mind the cut off of the skirt and I really like how nice the new gloves are looking on your character.
In my oppinion you captured the essence of the Zodiac shield very well (and I am very jealous that you have that skin xD) the other weapons were also a very nice choice and I as well really like the Winter's Presence here.
Your screens are amazing it looks like she is in her own kingdom, very good location choice.
All in all you deserve Gold! :3

You should mention this has been retouched, many of the glows should be way more on the yellow hue rather than white, and Winter's Presence isn't visible in the character select screen so you photoshopp'd some snowflakes here and there on some pics.

I absolutely will not mention something that is not true. I didn't touch any snowflakes. If anything, at the time I could have been using that thing that makes the game look better, I don't even remember the name, that's how long this has been. But it absolutely is not retouched. If I had anything to retouch, I would have removed the horrible line that makes it very clear that it is a skirt, but then that would make the look unrealistic so I didn't. Don't know what's up with telling someone what they should do when you don't even know what is true.

The popular program would be Reshade/SweetFX (if that's what you were using) and that is indeed considered retouching, as it IS mentioned when entering Look Battles "No SweetFX/GemFX/Photoshop".

I have Winter's Presence on multiple characters and it simply doesn't show its effect in the login-character-selection screen, you have plenty of particles there.

Please, when you mention Reshade, etc, stop pretending that's what you meant with retouching. You're clearing accusing me of Photoshoping as it seems you have nothing better to do than this. I know for a fact I did not retouch it, and I am literally staring at my character with Winter's Presence in character screen and it no longer has any effect. Did they disable that effect? I have no clue because it's a bloody 2 year old look. Can we move on with our lives now.

Please could you share which infusions you used and which was the base skin colour of this sylvari?

I am so sorry for the amount of time it took me to reply, I have been away from GW2 for a big while :( The skin color is Violet Night, the pattern is white and the glow is Squash! As for the infusions, she doesn't have any. Maybe the light inside the dungeon made it look like it, but there's none ^^
