Well, i like the idea - apart from that, i feel it looks kind of plain. No offense mate.

Can you elaborate on how it is plain? Thanks.

Totally awesome! The only problem I might have with it is the pants which are a little big. Maybe Aetherblade would be better? Doesn't matter, either way gold from me! Armor and dyes pls.

The Aether pants really don't feel like armor and they dye a little strange too. Even the lightest orange turns out to be brown..

Thank you for the feedback =)

Please post the armor and dyes. :)

Looks good except for the pants, as previously mentioned. Needs something more... tight?

The shoulders should be more round, maybe the Island ones or Council Guard ones. I believe the mentioned problem with the too big pants is a problem with a too small chestpiece. Unfortunately I do not know a solution, I will look into it later.

Maybe I'm trying too hard here, but I worked things out:
Using the [&AgEXjAAA] Council Guard Pauldrons, the chestpiece really did look too small. My possible solutions were [&C5UDAAA=] Studded Plate Armor or [&AgENRAAA] Forgeman Breastplate. Both of them do not have a good pattern for Samus's colours.

Then I tried [&AgFOkQAA] Island Shoulders and kept the Draconic Coat to change the pants. My favourites were [&AgE7TwAA] Primeval Legplates, [&CwobAAA=] Heavy Plate Leggings and [&Cx0DAAA=] Heritage Legplates, though the T3 footgear will clip with the latter two.

The issue might be with the human female model itself. Armour is shaped dependent on the body, and while there is flexibility between suited Samus and non-suited Samus (because they are two entities altogether), there's not so much flexibility here.

Try making a new character or use a makeover kit and experiment with body types. Right now, what's throwing the entire thing off is body proportion - Samus's shoulders are large (when she is wearing her suit), and they are certainly wider than any other part of her body.

@DioHard: No there isn't.
@Reema: Wow thank you for all the suggestions!!
I tried the different shoulder and chest pieces before and they didn't seem to work like you mentioned. I think the Heavy Plate Leggings are nice though. =)

@Kovalenko: Are you saying to make Samus male? Then I would have no trouble finding a suitable shoulder armor piece xD

@Vagrant: Posted the armor with different suggested leggings. I may or may not post the dyes =P

To be specific:

1. Make a new human female heavy armour character
2. During the creation process, pick a wide-shouldered character
3. Go into game, finish tutorial, go to a bank and use the same armours in the preview
4. Evaluate new look in different body type

Alternatively:
1. Get a total makeover kit
2. Change your character's body type
3. Evaluate

I understood what you meant but none of the options make the shoulders magically appear huge as in the image you linked. It's just a case of how different the armor sets look between the male and female versions and my own fault for going for a really challenging look. I appreciate your input though =)

You got a lot closer than I thought was possible XD.

Great. Now we have to find a way to make the Predator particles work with Scarlet's Kiss. Come on, ArenaNet. Maybe the HoT legendary rifle will be a good one for that.
