Since I finished off Ad Infinitum recently, I have every skin that I want in the game right now for my main's look. So I thought it would be time to share this shiny beast with you guys! :)
I use a Ghostly Infusion on my backpack, my norn uses the darkest skin color and celestial haircolor.

I really don't know how to feel about this look. The top doesn't fit with the bottom, Arah weapons are out of place imo. But the backpack looks fine. I think you should work on the armor more to find something that fits your backpack.

Okay, i dont mind all shiny stuff, but i think you could improve it!
First of all i really like the face tattoo + the glints gaze, it looks awesome! It has a somewhat tribal appearence, while still being shiny ;D
The gloves fit in too, since they repeat the glowing of the mask.
What looks very out of place to me, is the Nevermore. It has this very natural thematic and looks kinda off in a full plate-armor outfit (at least imo).
My suggestion would be to find a chest and/or legpiece which shows some skin. That way you would looks a bit more tribal/cultural /whatever you wanna call it) and it would fit Nevermore better.
Last but not least i think it would be nice to have some of the backpiece's colour within you armor comb, else it looks a bit alone colourwise. Maybe you should really drop the arah weapons and go for sth that fits the backpiece more into the comb (fractal weapons maybe).

And since i cant leave without telling you ... some more screens would be very appreciated in terms of presentation! :P

I like that this look has a lot of auras going on which always makes an outfit seem really beautiful in my opinion . And I like how the new chaos gloves skin match the glow from the fractal backpiece, along with the purple electro aura from bolt. I agree with Hylek though about incorporating some more of that purple glow from Ad Infinitum into the armor.

Perhaps swap the enameled sky dye for enameled reign or the royal purple you used in the gloves? And if you added white arm tattoos on your norn that would continue the tribal facial tattoos that Hylek was talking about.

Overall I think it's a great look and you're honestly like 1 or 2 super small changes away from perfect imo.

I actually don´t dislike the armour mix or the dyes as much as some of the other people here; I even feel like the Arah weapons aren´t too out of place as they all lie in this blue-purple hue which is quite beautiful!
I agree that there could be more purple in the armour to incorporate the wings and Bolt more
Only thing I dislike is the presentation overall; it just feels kinda lazy with only three screens
With a little improvement here and there it could become a gold look for me

In my experience, the community here can sometimes be a bit too centered on "does it fit a unique theme and commit 110% to it?" Sometimes they overlook the simple-but-good looks.

So, no, this doesn't scream "fractals" or anything, but whatever. It's a sharp outfit on a handsome character.

I'll give you a gold, because this is a solid, original look.

I see your point. I definitely don't have the intent of trolling. I've been on the receiving end of getting silver or bronze despite my efforts, so I know what you mean.

My purpose was simply to appreciate an outfit even if it didn't go above-and-beyond the rules and regulations of the community. I like the outfit, so I'm not going to give it bronze even though a lot of people are.
