My goal with this was to create an elegant looking outfit that's still fitting for a Charr.

This is my main character Luna Whitemane originally she looked similar in a theme of an elegant looking but still Charr ranger and from that she turened into this more druid like Charr. Her name Luna also means Moon that became just purrfect with the celestial themed druid spec and yes her mane is white : 3

She's a shy and friendly Charr from the Ash legion who adapted Norn culture,wit and cleverness at the time when she lived in Hoelbrak and learned how to survive in the harsh Shiverpeaks wilderness.She uses Ash legion tactics and Norn wit to outsmart her enemies which compensate her weaker physique.

About the colors a bit. I wanted something fitting for a desert,desert oasis,jungle type of environment and the ley-line weapons came after that as the most fitting weapons in color and look also i love ley-line stuff : o
As for the glider the White Mantle emblem reminds me to the White Tree of Gondor from LoTR and feels like a druidic symbol so i think it's my best choice so far. The glider dyes are matte and green apple.
I tried to add a bit of blue dye to the armor but it's just didn't work so what i ended up doing is to change the krytan leggings that i originally had to the ley stone leggings which adds a very subtle blue particle effect to the armor. Sadly this effect is really only visible ingame.

Feedback is welcomed.

Good first upload. I really like the armor mix and the dyes, they make the ley weapons stand out quite a bit. The one thing I would say to add would be more screenshots, especially one from character select. Otherwise great upload.

Love the dye scheme. Simple, realistic, nothing too flashy. The weapons don't quite fit, but they look good with the armor. Gold :)

The armor mix is pretty unique, and the dyes on the armor itself matched with the fur colors come together very nicely.

I don't like those weapons with those dyes. I think if you wanted to use ley line weapons, you should incorporate touches of light blue trim into your armor dyes. It's not a major thing, and you do pull it off well as it is, but just a slight modification could really solidify the entire look.

I would love to see this look in a wider variety of environments and lighting to get a better overall idea of what it looks like in game. The screens you've taken in Gilded Hollow are nice, but they're mostly in the exact same location. The few that aren't next to the giant crystal help a little, but get out in the big wide world and bring back some pics! She's a druid, not a skritt!

Maybe some screenshots in the ley line tunnel in Dry Top, and perhaps Tangled Depths, as well as scenes in the Shiverpeaks, where she's from. A variety of poses and action shots like you've done is nice, just make sure they don't distract from showing off the armor. Try more angles as well as locations, and try to narrow it down to just one or two shots from the same location. Use a different pose and/or angle in each screenshot.

You could stand to get up closer a little bit more, and bring the camera down a bit so that her lower half isn't cut off when you're up close. The relevant slider is "Vertical Position Near." You can also adjust Zoom Sensitivity all the way to the left in order to be more precise with how close you zoom in.

You have a lot of potential with this look, and it's already gaining plenty of positive attention - rightfully so! It deserves to be shown off with a more diverse presentation.

For a first upload this is really nice!
The armour is well mixed and you played well with the dyes so it makes for an overall unique look
Due to the ley line weapons incorporating a lot of blue I do miss this colour in the dye work a little, so maybe adding a light blue on one or two dye slots could improve the look even more!
Seeing this is your first upload, your presentation is already quite convincing, especially the description
Where you could still improve a little are the screens; your poses are great, but using only one location for screens does make it feel a little repetitive
Plus there is always the possibility to use different camera settings (Horizontal/Vertical position, field of view) as they greatly improve your screens
Overall I still want to give you a gold, but I hope you work on the suggestions for future uploads ^^

The look itself is quite nice! I like the colour-concept and the fact that you didnt use celestial and shadow abyss, but rather natural colours instead!
Maybe you couldve used some leyline-armor to tie in the weapons a bit more ... but thats very minor critique ;)
You provided a great description too! This is how i think a description should be! :D
Just the screens seem a bit uninspired to me :/
Its not only the same location over and over again, its also the exact same spot and many poses feel doubled.
If you can improve on the screens i will gladly give you a Gold, but right now they are holding me back :S
Very high SIlver from me :)

Thank you all for the feedback and votes so far i really didn't think people will like it this much. I worked on the screens a bit and updated the description about the blue dye that was recommended. Adding blue dye to the actual armor really didn't work out for me.I also tried the ley-stone chest piece but it was a bit too much and the colors didn't work on that.

I really love your second set of screenshots. They make such a world of difference! With a bunch of different environments to see the look in, I agree that blue dye might not be the best choice. All the different places give some more context and show off how well the dyes synergize with the weapons.

I updated my vote to Gold, and I look forward to seeing more looks from you in the future.
