Second look for today - one of my first characters, created during headstart - my main mesmer Mia Van Glenraven!
I'm all in for breaking class-specific looks - who said all Mesmers have to wear purple and look all noble and rich? Nobody! ( said the girl who also has a mesmer wearing all purple, representing a Vabbian noble -cough- Yeaaah right ).
I used to have a lot of characters wearing rather natural colors, but I got bored and made them more colorful and bold - not this one. I could add more hues to it ( and probably will ) but it's difficult to get away from neutral tones with that kind of look.
I wanted her story to be.. different. Like she grew up in a tribe, unknown heritage, far away from civilization, learning about nature and different cultures, until she discovered her Mesmer magic.
I can't even count how many times people whispered and asked me "Huh, since when do necromancers use swords? - Oh - wait - you're not - oh? Alright, nevermind."
Anyway, I always liked the "Occultist Flame" torch, as well as the Bandit weapons, and I think they fit her really well! Not sure about the backpiece yet ( you can barely see it in the screenies anyway ), I'll probably wait for something different, but at least it's something rather unique and barely used.
Her little companion, Mr. Orrian Baby Chicken, obviously had to get some screen-time as well!
Her armor:
Head - Feathered Headpiece
Shoulder Armor - Trickster's Mantle
Chest Armor - Primitive Chestwraps
Hand Armor - Trickster's Gloves ( can't see them, though )
Leg Armor - Primitive Legwraps
Foot Armor - Trickster's Shoes
Backpiece - Elegant Armorsmith's Backpack
Her weapons:
Bandit weapons + "Occultist Flame"
Dyes:
Head - Orange Shade + Orange Shade + Peach Tint
Shoulders - Cocoa + Peach Tint
Chest - Cocoa + Peach Tint + Peach Tint
Gloves - Cocoa + Peach Tint + Peach Tint
Leggings - Cocoa + Cocoa + Peach Tint
Boots - Cocoa + Peach Tint + Peach Tint
I hope you like it! :)
P.s. the pictures are not edited (besides being cut smaller), I just use lots and lots of shaders.
I also added a screenshot without any shaders/manipulation but on the highest settings possible for those, who play without ReShade/GemFX/SweetFX. :)

 Nougi Fashion Collector | Uhh there it is! Great Job! She looks like a pretty Amazone with a special baby-chicken friend ^-^ And it's nice that you try to style your Mesmer different than other mesmers and using your own style! Also very nice screens as always. Keep it up! :) |

 Hylek Fashionista | This is so gold i cant even ... I LOVE the subtle/ natural colour-scheme and it fits so well to norn-characters! She really looks tribal, i love the story around her. This might actually be my favorite light armor norn :D Btw the head-band fits the feathered headpiece so well, looks like it belongs together ^,^ |

 Minale Fashion Collector | Ohh, I didn't expect such positive feedback! :) ( I keep on adding hearts to posts and removing 90% of my message with them. Good job, me. ) @Hylek I know, right?! She used to have that super long Norn-ponytail, until I decided to give her a full make-over, and while I was choosing her hair I didn't even notice ( or better, I forgot ) that the feathery part wasn't part of the hairstyle and that I was using it before, because it fit so well. It's weird that I haven't seen it more often though! And no matter how many times I tried to change the headpiece, nothing fits as nicely. :l ( I don't want to cover the white tattoo area either ). Other people are reaaally good at editing, while I just keep on running around until I find some place with special lighting, snow, fog, etc. because I'm too lazy to edit that in myself. :l And ReShade does 80% of the work anyway, haha. I also haven't done map/world completion in a while now, and I wish I would've written down nice places the last time I did it, because I tend to go for the same places a lot. Ughh - the struggle of having to choose from too many beautiful locations! |

 silvertree Fashionista | Wow... I always had a problem with my norn-mesmer to style her. I found a good style and when i saw it on a human female, i thought: at humans to look is even better. So i was always frustrated about my norn. end of this, my main norn became bank charakter and i created a new asura mesmer. But now i see you look and i have to say it's perfect. great work. You did something i couldn't. |
