Here is a solid looking armor combination.

I created this look around the legs and boots. My goal was, to make the other pieces fitting. I did not have problems finding the gloves, but with the shoulders and the torso I was not really sure. At first I used the T3-cultural chest and Vigil's Honour for shoulders. Also I tried Whisper's Secret and Vigil's Honour Chest pieces, but they were... a little too "sexy" in my opinion, showing too much skin and looking too much like an assassin.
I used those shoulders because they have got some metal to them and break with the usual assassin look as well.

First I used red instead of the brown-grey combination and after red I tried some green. But after some screens I was not happy, so I wanted a more "realistic" look.
I changed the sword, because it dropped and it fits pretty well with the Kama.

So now here are the screens at daytime. I tried using some emotes, but I am not very good at it...
Please enjoy and leave a comment below. If you have suggestions, please tell me so :-)

I really do like this look and your dye choices. if I were you I would take some screenshots during daytime as well and use one of them as the main picture. I've noticed your looks are quite original in terms of armor combination. Looking forward to see more :D also you can try to play around a bit more with the camera settings and find some cool angles for your screens.

Definitely a realistic looking theme going on here, huge fan.
Both the armor and the dyes make for a rust-style commander look and the combinateion of the eyepatch with the shoulders looks really neat!
Weapons are definitely on spot here.
Overall it looks very original and it's refreshing to see something (at least for me) new.
The screenshots are nice and I agree, some daylight shots are missing (but you already commented on that so...)
I love reading the thought process behind the looks and you definitely nailed it, so thanks a lot for that (on a personal level) !
I will rate the look once some of the daylight screens are up since I don't wanna misjudge this early on.

Suggestions for daylight shots:
- As Commander, maybe Orr fits, it also combiend great with the natural dyejob on your style.
- Overall pact places like Vigil Keep, Whisper's Secret and Durmand Priory (maybe not so much).

Well yeah I'm not that creative myself but I love what you're putting up.

This might be my favorite look from you so far!
The armor-comb is quite nice! Im really fascinated about that leg-boot-comb :D
I absolutely love the natural and subtle colours you chose! They keep the look kinda realistic.
When it comes to screenshots i agree with Beckie93!
You should take some screens during day time, it will present your rather dark colour-scheme much better imo.
The screens infront of the queens palace are absolutely great tho! Thats the kind of quality you should aim at! Closeup, good for seeing your character, but still the background looks gorgeous! If you can manage to show even more of her full body thatd be even greater! (use the slider for vertical position for that)

Overall i really like this look! Gold from me :D

Thank you!
At the moment I am working on an autumn-based look for Sylvari. This will break the "realistic" theme a bit.
I am still working with different angles and am practicing to become better.

I always like day shots in frostgorge. Lots of elevation with nice backgrounds (like the Kodan Sanctuaries) and the snow can make a quite dramatic scene.

That is true, but I made this picture at the Wayfarer Foothills. Because I could not remember another place with a snowy cherry blossom front. I hope that doesn't make you dislike it.
