Vaeyalin's armour combo is focused on combining metallic elements with more plant-y elements, much like her mount (with intention to match). I also intended for the skin pattern on her back, the stripes down the back of her shirt and finally the tail of her legs to create a flow and curvature throughout the entire look.

Here's a photoshoot of Vaeyalin, she has one of my favourite looks I've done (and a few months back she won a community vote in a mount/fashion match-y contest, which I'm still super happy about!) Also, these are some of my favourite screenshots I've taken, and I'm really proud of them :>
head - nightmare court regalia
shoulders - snapdragon epaulets
chest - whisper's secret robes
gloves - phoenix gloves
legs - carapace pants
shoes - incarnate shoes
weapons - endless ocean sword and endless ocean focus
mount - primal spirit jackal
dyes - midnight blue, abyss, hydrangea, silver
photo location - dragonfall

 Frans Fashion Guru | Your screens are nice... and the weapons are nice and your mount. That's all, I'm sorry but the look (armor mix) is the opposite of original or interesting |

 Damaris Stylist | She's gorgeous!! Congrats again on winning community vote on the contest, she really deserved it |

Damaris Stylist | It's a really nice original look? It plays colouration, textures and armour flow together in a way that's perfect for a more minimal design. The flow and shaping of pieces are a big component, and it's got a lot going on :/ |

 magentameow Stylist | Ah, tysm I'm really happy with the flow, (especially down her spine) so I'm glad you noticed, as I'm really happy with it, especially considering I spend most of the time looking at my characters' backs! |

 Mithras Fashion Collector | Proof that you don't need to throw in a ton of shots to make a presentation fun. Armor goes well with weapons. I really like the tastes in the style of stone with dragon wings in one of the shots in the distance. Improving the screenshots in Photoshop to a big plus. Have fun and keep posting new presentations :). |

Frans Fashion Guru | You are throwing around terms of original look and minimalism... I don't see any of that here - no stylistic individualism! Imagine: you meet 100 girls on the street, who wear skinny jeans with white shirt... And there comes one, who also wears jeans, but the pants have a different cut (and not one that was trendy 20 years ago) and also a shirt, which is provided with fashionable details, such as longer sleeves (or polo shirt collar etc.)... What would you call original and what rather boring? And as for minimalism, it's about creating a very individual look that is not defined by flashy colors or glittery accessories. So "less" with more substance. |

magentameow Stylist | I didn't initially reply to your comment Frans, as to be honest, it was just needlessly rude but I see you have no eye for subtley, so I'm going to talk through all the details of my look to you. Firstly, you mention you like my weapons and mount? Well I very specifically was matching my weapons and mount with intention in this look. I specifically chose these legs as they marry the floral elements of my mount and the curved metallic elements in to the core look (as I did mention, this look was intended to complement her mount). I also chose this top, as the thing silver lines match the ones of the legs, and also down the back, creates a spine-like curvature which glows in to my sylvari's striped pattern, which I once again intentionally picked, and down in to the silver tail which is part of the legs. The curved metallic lining around the top of the shirt, also matches the curves of her endless ocean weapons. The shoulders and hat also reintroduce plant-like enelments to the look, as well as the blue spots on the sohulders mimicing water droplets, once again matching her weapons. Lastly I chose boots which also have metallic elemtns to once more fit in to the theme, as well as a gradiented effect (which is harder to find in shoes), to match the gradiented effect of her nightmare court hat. I hope this helps! :) |

magentameow Stylist | Thank you so much for your nice comment! I'm very proud of these screens, and I also did intentionally match the the weapons, so thank you for noticing :> |

Frans Fashion Guru | for the effort I also gave you silver, but that's all there is to it (because my fine eyes find it too boring and that can't be glossed over) |

magentameow Stylist | Ah well, I don't plan to leave rude comments on your looks, but I do dislike most of them, so I suppose I'll take that as a compliment :) |
