Hello!

On this look I wanted to do something special that I never tried so I guess it's better if I explain a bit :)

_______________
IMPORTANT PART:

I wanted to create a snow-themed Sylvari, how? that hairstyle with that color gave me the idea that the white part looked like snow.
The same thing happens for the armor, I wanted it to make like he is a Sylvari covered of snow, if you notice I tried to do it the most realistic possible: In the top part (head, shoulders, chest and gloves) the "snow" is above the pieces, where the snow would fall; and in the bottom part (leggings and boots) I made the opposite, the leggings would be covered by snow because from time to time it would touch the snow ground, and it's obvious that the boots do that aswell.

The glider is white, but no, that's not snow, that it's just its camouflage color ;)

There are also very small red parts in the shoulders, chest piece, gloves and boots, I tried that it looked like blood from the enemies. I could have put more red but it would be a bit cruel XD.

I know that the helmet is not the same exact color of the rest of the armor, I did that on purpose because it is like a skull, so I did put it a skull color, I guess that it wouldn't be realistic a black skull, at least in this look :)
_______________
OTHER:

This is my new Revenant, when Heart of Thorns came I did create one but I never liked it but now I felt in love with this one.
While I was editing the screenshots I was listening to relaxing snowstorm sounds videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMfB1REALp4 and I don't regret doing it ^^

I know that this look has a little problem with the helmet and the "hair", but however I don't really matter :) I will be hiding and showing the helmet.

I worked a lot on this look, so I hope you like it. Feedback is always welcomed even if you like it or even if you don't.

In TOTAL I used 9 dyes:
4 Snow / snowcamuflage.
3 Different blood.
2 Armor colors.

I can't put the glider name on the aditional items, but it's called called "Classical Glider" with Fog dye and Icing dye.
In case anyone wants to see the album on imgur here it is, but it's not in order: http://imgur.com/a/3ZM4A

And yes, this look would be much better on winter, but I couldn't wait XD

Have a very good day and happy birthday Guild Wars 2!

EDIT: I know that most of the armor is from the same set but sadly this is the only one that could work and look nice for this very specific look ^^ I hope that they release more Sylvari armor themed.

I really really love your presentation, the screens are really amazing and your story is quite lovely
Also a big fan of the dyes, they look natural but still interesting
But I simply canĀ“t justify a gold when you use a full armour set minus the headpiece, I gotta stay true somehow to my slider system x x

Hey Migg!

I just got myself a sylvari up and thought about something similiar already! Although the armor mix is, REALLY, nothing special i love this look.

You dye job and the theme you went for make it up for me so you can take my gold! I always thought this "hair" is just something funny but it can really look cool!

Have good one!

I absolutely love the idea!!!!!!!!!!
You succeeded perfectly in making him look like he is full of snow! Love it!
I do agree with Elessar though that a full armor-set is kinda boring.
You do make up for it with an amazing presentation and an awesome idea, so i still want to rate Gold here :P

Your dyejob is awesome! He really looks like some snow and ice are frozen on his armor.
Also you did a great job with the screens, they look amazing.
When a style looks so great, I don't really care, if you used mainly one armor set. Also I think he looks better without the berserker's helm :)
Gold!

It looks so amazing ! I didn't notice everything was from the same set until I looked at which pieces you used.
The dyes are so gorgeous and the screens so well done that it can only be a gold.
The main picture is awesome by the way !

Unoriginal, just one armor set, boring weapons... Not sure how this is gold :) Nice dyejob though.

Don't worry, that's the main "problem" on this look, there are no other armor sets that would work for this look, the only option that I had was to hide some of the armor pieces but still would have the same problem :(
Anyways, I'm glad that you like it :)

Thank you, Venson!
I never liked that hairstyle until I was "playing" with the hairstyle kit and since then I felt in love with it :)

Thank you for the gold!

Thank you, simmetries!
And I understand the silver :) I wasn't sure how people would react to this look because most of the armor is from the same set but I also thought this look is original :)

Thanks imp8395!
Sadly there aren't other armor sets that would fit in my opinion, I hope that they add more sylvari-ish armors that could fit :(

Thank you very much, Nanaltalia!
I guess I also like it without the helmet, however I will still be hiding and showing it when I'm bored of it :p

I did put a lot of effort on making screenshots on this one so I'm glad that you like them :)

Those weapons are not boring, they indeed are the ones that fit the most in my opinion, this look is based on snow, the hammer is a norn one and the other two weapons are realistic but with nice skin, the "funny" super big shiny weapons couldn't fit on this look.

Also I guess you should not say "I'm not sure how this is gold".

I really love what you did here. The dyes are very natural and great, your theme is really nice and I love your screens and the overall presentation. Especially the main screen is so beautiful and awesome!
Usually I am not too fond of this hairstyle but it kinda fits and looks really cool on your character and the same goes for the headpiece, as well :3
Unfortunately I have to agree with Elessar about the armour combo. I really understand your struggle and I also understand why you decided to use one set for your look and I like this armour set quite a lot but I have to stay as fair as possible and I hope that you will forgive me for not giving you gold on this one though you did a great job with dyes and presentation and your weaponchoices ._.

I'm glad that you like it AnaChronism!
And don't worry about the gold or silver medal :) I wasn't sure how people would react to this look, but at least I'm glad that the people likes this look even with most of the armor be of one set.
I almost did put the boots from another sylvari armor but sadly it didn't fit that well :(

I'll join Hylek and Elessar on that one.
I got blown away by the dye work and the screens. In all honesty I still gave you a gold, because the work behind it seems amazing and you also got through the trouble of creating a story for your character.

Still, I'd rather see your amazing skills on a true mix ! Keep'em coming bro ! :D
