My very first post!
Here is Naymarin, my mysterious gay salad friend. I don't really know what to write here...
She also uses the plasma staff, which I can't add here...
I'm always glad about criticism!

I like the idea of your colours matching the shortbow, hence making her look quite dark and dangerous.
However, this is simply too black. You should try finding a better balance between black and orange and maybe find an interesting third colour to add some highlights. The green you have peeking through might just do that.
The "problem" about your armor-comb is that its super unoriginal. Therefore you need some nice colour-work work to make up for the standard cultural style :P
In the description you should tell us sth about your character and about your outfit (why did you choose certain pieces etc.) ... if you have some inspiration you might aswell write a little story.
Your screens are already going into the right direction. Especially the location of the main screens looks great since is mirrors your outfits colours!
You should try working with the camera options to get better closeup screens and interesting picture compositions. Try finding a super cool location, then adjusting your camera to capture your character within this location, and then do some cool poses and animations to create epic screens :)

Theres a lot room for improvement, but overall for your first upload it is ok. Silver from me.

I actually disagree with Hylek about the dyes, I feel they are pretty spot on! It isn´t full black, but has hues of dark green and purple coming through and the orange just really makes the colours pop, especially at night with the orange glow
I do agree about the armour being a little unoriginal, but everything with cultural armour has been done already, so it´s hard to be original here; maybe you could try mixing in Twilight Arbour armour or other organic sets like Carapace to make up for the game´s lack of diverse armoursets
Since this is your first post I can understand why you didn´t totally nail the presentation yet, but keep in mind that they are a big part of your rating
Having good screens and a little description is often enough to boost you from a silver to a gold
Overall I think you already did well on your first upload, but keep the criticism in mind and work on your presentation a little more
Silver from me, but I am looking forward to seeing more from you ^^

Thank you for your feedback!
I really like my dyes, but I'll try some more colour combinations.
I also want to use some more different amour parts, especially for pants and boots.
When I have time, I'm going to edit the description and take some better screens!

Thank you too for the feedback!
I love how she glows in the dark too ^^
I think Carapace is a pretty good idea, I'll see what I can do.
And like I already said, I'll edit the description a bit when I have more time!

She is definitely too dark. You loose all of your armor details this way. There is also too much of one armor. You have 3 cultural sets to choose from and the TA dungeon armor. Try mixing them up a bit. Also utilize your camera options, Field of View, Vertical Position Near, etc.

There is a great similar theme that is dark w/out losing the details.
I like where you are going with this, and it is a great first upload. Keep up the good work.
