SIGfigures Stylist | Would love to see more screenshots, and would also love to hear more about this character. What prompted the choosing of the Ambrite weapons? Armor choice? Just lay on the presentation! Your armor combination is very original, and the softer, earthy dyes are very pleasing to the eyes. You even took the time to match the Ambrite color on your gloves + headpiece, and it looks great! I'm not too sold on the Midnight Ice, however. While it looks nice on the armor mix, I don't see it fitting well with the Ambrite weapons. I think a strong gold-brown or dark gold would fit it perfectly. Perhaps try out Midnight Gold/Walnut/Tarnish/Cocoa? I have a feeling one or a mix of these would bring out a nice contrast with your ambrite weapons and lighter dyes. Give me a stronger description, and a handful more screens, and a touchup of the dyes and it'll be a perfect rating |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | New screenshots added and the description has been updated with his backstory. I tried the various dyes you recommended, and while some looked good (particularly cocoa), they made the outfit feel a bit too flat in my opinion, as the whole thing became a shade of brown. With the midnight ice, it seems to add an extra layer of depth, so I do still prefer that. |

SIGfigures Stylist | Glad I could be of help. I have to admit, I do have a bit of a problem with making things a bit too brown, heh. You're right about the midnight ice dye, though. It does make the armor mix pop out a bit more compared to the other earthy dyes. It's a bit more subtle, too. I also like the screens you've provided, and your description is much better -- accurately reflecting your character's direction and making references to your choices of weapons/armor! Always nice to see good looking charr, as well! |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | I had the same issue during launch. I've played around enough to become much more comfortable with vibrant and unique color schemes. (My execution on said outfits are still up for judgement, though.) Actually, I checked out your page. You have a ton of cool outfits (I'll have to go through them more thoroughly later), but I recognize a few from fashion posts in the subreddit. It's awesome to meet the person behind them. |

Twigz Fashion Collector | I love how the headpiece and gloves match the weapons specifically and you used blue in the whole rest of the outfit to compliment that very nicely done. |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | Thanks! If you have any recommendations for screenshots, I'd appreciate it. There's only so much you can do with an engineer, especially when the ambrite rifle (my only ambrite weapon) is part of the outfit. |

thunderstruck Fashion Guru | you could try some of the weapon kits for one or two screens, the rifle doesn´t have to be on EVERY screenshot, does it? also, if you don´t need the rifle on every shot, all the emotions make for nice screens, like /yes or /laugh, if you time them right they are reeeeally cool |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | Yeah, I realized that the rifle isn't necessarily mandatory for the screenshots. I caved and used the hammer in one. I've actually been trying to get the /laugh pose, because I see it in https://gw2style.com/look.php?id=8418 and it looks amazing. I just have yet to pull it off successfully. |

Amiron Stylist | I love the armor combination and dyes! Great primary screen of him, too. It's a very original look, and the only thing missing is more screenshots! :) |
