Hi guys! This is my first submission here. :) For awhile now, I've had a vision of my Mesmer designed around the GW1 Elite skill "Energy Surge" and it's finally at a point where I'm happy with it.

The look is achieved with a mix of a variety of purple hues on the armor, bright cyan bioluminescence, and, of course, Bolt. I realize I'm rocking a Sylvari cultural mix and the comment section seems to be beyond bored with that, but I'm a fan of the full-on plant aesthetic and the dyes went well on this mix. Hope you guys enjoy!

Heyho and welcome to GW2 style ^^
First of all: yeah, it is pretty much impossible to create something really original with the limited sets of Sylvari armour we have, but at least you mixed the different sets and didn´t settle for one set in particular
The dyes look really really cool and they really go perfectly with all the weapons you chose, really a nice and round character!
Maybe you could try incorporating a light blue on some tiny detail slots? I think that could look really cool!
Other than that it´s a really nice first upload ^^
If you plan on further uploads you could include even more screens then, but I already appreciate that the ones you gave us are of good quality!

I love how the flow of the hair and shoulders work together.
It looks quite monochrome, but with just enough going on to not make it boring.
Personally think the Glow and sparks from the weapon is enough light blue, and you don't need to add more to the armor. also if you added a small amount to the armor, the balance might be off during the day. (i don't know these armor pieces well enough to say for sure).
Yes it's difficult to not mix pieces already used a lot if you want to go with this kind of style. but i won't let that stand in the way of giving a gold when i see something i like ^^
A few more screenshots of this quality would be lovely.

Thank you guys for the comments! I appreciate any feedback I can get. :)

I'll be adding more screenshots when I get myself the time. I have those small windows of nighttime where my character really shines, so getting a bunch of good screenshots can be a little tedious. :)

Thanks again ^_^

Your sylvari really shines at night, but during day time, she can look somewhat bland and monotonous. I really appreciate the different nuance of her purple hues. You put a lot of thought in making her face and hair fit with the rest of the look. If I were you, I would try to improve the color contrast of her mask and gloves, and include the new backpiece Grove Hydria. Having said that, this is a good quality first post. Enjoy a gold from me!
