AnaChronism Fashion Guru | I must admit I am kinda surprised by this look! But in a very positive way. I really really adore your dark skinned Norn so much but it's always refreshing to see something different ^^ And my, oh my, she is gorgeous! For it was love at first sight- I saw the title picture and I was already very fond of her. You used a theme I always loved and created a wonderful look over here. The armour mix is simply amazing I love every skin from head to toe but I think the chestpiece is and always will be one of my favourites. I used it myself on my male Ranger for a long time and what I love about this skin is that it's so natural and yet full of details. I like this overall natural look, nothing's too much and you still managed to pick the right weapons to spice the whole thing a little bit more up! Colours are wonderful, not too bright and not too dark and also very fitting. Screens ware of course outstanding, as always! I love the nice mixture between noble places- wich are giving me a very victorian vibe- nature and even some mysterious and 'spooky' places! She really came quite around! :D This beautiful natural look really desveres all the gold I have :3 |

Migg Fashionista | I like the screenshots where you made them and so, but I miss one from the back, at least in the character selection :) Anyways, I love the colors that you chose but I would put a bit less of contrast, if this would be my look of course. I love that you did use those shoulder"s" and the eye patch. |

Pattou Fashion Guru | Hopefully we don't have a limited number of gold, because you would take them all ! At first I thought it was a human, and then I was like "Oh that's a norn... Oh my god, it's even better !" I find this very fitting for an engi norn, because it's not too "technoogical" but it still has this victorian/steampunk vibe. The screens are gorgeous as usual, and it's great to see you doing something else than black-skinned norns (even if they're always amazing !) I'm glad that you've posted this, it inspires me for an engi norn ! BIG gold :D |

thunderstruck Fashion Guru | feels an awful lot like Elessar´s last contest entry to be fair, even down to the tattoo on her neck and seeing that you both competed I would say taht you know his look your presentation and everything is flawless of course, but I don´t feel like I can safely give you a gold for something I saw done a little better not so long ago |

Billy Fashion Collector | Quand je lis ce dernier commentaire, je me dis que c'est le monde à l'envers ! Si seulement on pouvait bloquer certains profils pour les empêcher de voter sur nos looks, ça nous épargnerait ce genre d’énormités. |

KestrelGirl Fashionista | I translated your comment (thanks Google xD) and you're totally right. Thunderstruck finally posted his first look (and it was great!), but he still bashes people, and that's in no way right. |

Hylek Fashionista | jesus fkn christ Kestrel AGAIN you just commented here to bash on Thunderstruck and you didnt even say anything regarding the look. Apart from the fact that you are still hating on him for whatever reason, i dont think he just bullshits on anyone randomly. He always has a solid point when giving critique and is never using inappropriate language and stuff, so stop poiting him out on every single comment pls!!! |
2016-07-20 15:28 in reply to KestrelGirl | |
Hylek Fashionista | I do agree that this resembles Elessars look quite a bit. But to be fair, its only 2 items that are the same (chest and boots). So it might not be too original, but as you mentioned yourself, it is a solid look with awesome presentation! Now to your look Acethyle!!! First of all sorry for spamming your upload with this, but people somehow dont know whats the difference between critique and hating. I do get that people would refer to this as look similar to Elessars, but then again she made a look resembling your golden valkyrie quite a lot. Guess you are even now ;D Theres no shame in posting similar looks, unless you use like 90% the same armor and dyes. And that is not the case here! The screenshots are extremely beautiful and i love the weapons you used here! The legpiece looks very cool within this comb and i love the natural colours!!! She looks absolutely badass! Gold from me :D |

thunderstruck Fashion Guru | just clarifying, I wasn´t the one giving you the bronze, that would be unfair indeed I don´t want to blame you for stealing anything, that would be stupid, it is just that I pretty much saw this look already as it stands and I did like elessar´s version a lot better and thought that I needed to make some kind of differentiating here and @kestrel: I am really getting annoyed by your comments, I am not constantly bashing anyone, my voting distribution is far from being harsh or unfair and I am really tired that YOU are hunting me down on every second look to actually talk bs about me |

Beckie93 Fashion Collector | Lovely look :) simple, stylish, using my favorite medium armor top as well! Everything here is done so well. I need to hire you to do my screenshots, daaayum. I don't think it's fair to judge this in comparison to Elessars look. There are only so many armor pieces in this game and this top is very popular in general. You made it look very unique I think :) Looks very natural with the white on the loose sleeves and the rest being a more leathery color. Your character in itself is so stunning. THEM SLIDERS *drool*. Never have I been so tempted to make a norn :/ Have my gold ~ (I always end up giving you gold but seriously...you deserve it) |

Elessar Taralom Fashionista | Oh, I was really suprised to see that this was your look! I didn´t even know that you had a light skinned Norn! Really refreshing to see something so different from you ^^ I simply love this coat, one of my absolute favourite medium pieces as it is graceful and simplistic and the combination with the pants simply looks AMAZING! Now I am really jelly I don´t also own those! I like the dyes, although I feel they could have a little more oomph, but maybe that´s just me The weapons fit perfectly and I appreciate that you made the screens and poses a little more exciting this time Gold ^^ |
2016-07-20 16:34 | |
NanaItalia Fashionista | Aww, I already told you, that I love her^^ The smal metal pieces on pants and boots are so awesome. The weapons fit perfectly for the noble look and the eye patch gives her an edgy, dangerous feeling. I really think you made the most out of this simple chest piece and made it look amazing. Screens are on spot as always^^ GOLD! :) |

MadEnigma Trendspotter | I totaly dig this style! Gold :) |

KestrelGirl Fashionista | Okay, sorry. (i f*cked up i f*cked up i f*cked up) I mean... the look is absolutely gorgeous, it's typical Acethyle. I just hate it when people unjustly bash great looks. |

Ursaring Fashion Guru | Really nice look, everything looks so cohesive. The design on the eyepatch matches the design of the chestpiece. The studs on the shoulders--asymmetric and not often used, interesting choice--match that of the legs, which also match the decals on the boots. The gloves were a nice touch that I didn't even notice until a second glance--fingerless, leather, and with the majority of it hidden from view it definitely gave the impression of being another pair. The dyes are a nice neutral shade. I would've expected gold on the metallic trim but I can see why you didn't go for it. Although, I would've have gone with a lighter shade of brown, perhaps a mahogany to match the wooden coloring of the weapons. Screenshots are well done as always, definitely reminds me of the Victorian Fantasy genre. Something along the lines of "The Brothers Grimm" and "Hansel and Gretel" films. My favorite is the one where she's in the Queensdale graveyard; she looks very much in her element. You managed to make this character give off a great vibe as both a noble yet practical woman. I won't remark on the description but on the originality aspect I will say this. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) thunderstruck thinks your look is similar to Elessar's for the same reason I do: It's not "just" because both looks share the same race (norn), gender (female), skin color (white), and class (engineer). But also because you both have similar armor (chest/boots)--which while only two pieces, one of them is the chestpiece, a prominent piece of armor, especially on a medium class. You also share a similar color scheme (brown) and theme (Victorian). Each of these alone don't sound like a lot but when you put them together, especially in the search function when looking for styles, then that's 6/11 (relevant) slots filled in the same--a 54 percent similarity. And that's only using what can be compared in the search function. So, yes I do think you share a lot in your look with Elessar's, however, that doesn't mean I (personally) still don't consider this a fairly original look. There aren't that many steampunk norn women on this website so I'd be remiss to penalize the second one with the same idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nevertheless, even though I personally believe this, that doesn't mean someone else should. I don't understand the policing over thunderstruck's vote and comment. A lot of members on this site vote based on personal opinion (which I don't agree with but that's another can of worms) but as soon as someone's opinion goes against the grain they shouldn't be allowed to have it? This isn't a case of trolling, he explained his view and why he thought so. Respect that, move on, and let Acethyle handle any confusion resulting from that himself. I'm sure he's old enough to do so without supporters amassing to decry "one" person's opinion. With regards to this though: "I don't really understand this attitude of always compare with other stylists. I wish more people could look at a style and just appreciate it for what it is without compare or refer to other stylists". I hope I don't come across as harsh for saying this but...really? There are five sliders in the rating system with an entire slider (20 percent!) dedicated to judging whether or not someone's look is similar to others. As long as that slider exists that's how looks on this website will be judged. From the About Gw2style page: "Originality: Is this look creative or have you seen many looks similar to it already?" I know a lot of people don't read, care, or even know that page exists and that's not surprising. A lot of what's stated on it and the relevant "Medal Voting" section underneath is poorly explained and pretty vague. What do you consider as a lack of creativity in a look? On which number do you draw the threshold for "many looks similar to it"? What is a "nice" screenshot? What is a "nice" description? These are all subjective questions that are answered through personal opinions. Personal opinions that are often skewed to postive from others using filters on screenshots and "pseudo histories to justify their choice of items" on descriptions. But I'm rambling, getting away from myself, and derailing this post so I offer my apologies to Acethyle for that. Overall my point is: unless the FAQ page is changed to be more precise and objective in how someone should judge a look then people are going to default to their personal opinion and you can't blame, judge, or even (in some cases) call them trolls and give their own looks bad ratings because of that. Especially if you're using your own opinion as the standard for rating other people's looks. To think otherwise would just be...hypocritical. If you don't like the current voting system, think it's unfairly weighted, or feel unjustifiably voted down then don't complain about or to the people making you feel that way. Most of them are just following the system, instead actively try to change it yourself. Go to the Site Feedback pages (Suggestions and Medal Voting) and leave your own comments and thoughts on how you think the system can be improved. |

TheKimmynator Fashion Guru | Every now and then I find this again in the look battles and it's always superior :,). The light blonde hair with the black leather, it's all so good! She really breathes opulence with a rough edge due to the eye-patch, it's so good! It kind of reminds me of Helga Sinclair from Atlantis! |
