AION - Noble Sky Dragon's Tunic and Leggings Mod

Welcome back for the second post of the week and in this post I'll be showing another level 55 armor set, but in this case a cloth set. This particular armor set belongs under the category of "Balic" design, in which the armor pieces are crafted by players using "Balic" materials, which are looted off defeated Balaur (NPC Dragon race). If you are thinking that it is pretty gruesome to kill something and then fabricate their bones and skins into an armor, you are probably right... But think of those animal skins that some people wear or use (crocodile leather bag, animal skin winter clothing as examples) and you will know this happens in real life too.    D:

Anyway, back to the topic, this armor is actually one of the first few that I had tried to mod on, but was not very successful due to lack of experience. I got frustrated after several failed attempts and thus, left it sitting in a folder for the past few months. Recently, I took a peek into the main folder and there it was, quietly waiting to be rediscovered.

The main problem faced with this armor was that I lack the means to see overlapping layers and what texture is being drawn onto the mesh or simply skipped (as in a hole when top layer is removed  ~.~  ); thus, the armor ended up with holes and loss of continuity of character skin layer.    >.<   But after these few months of doing mods, I think I have finally learned enough to complete it.

Let's us now look at what the original armor is like.

Rear Views - Original Armor

From the above images, we can see that the original chest armor does not really look that extraordinarily special, except for some draconic essence (scale and claw like design). The leggings consists of 2 pieces of cloth (front and back) with a pair of stockings. Well, well. Cloth again... We know what's going to happen to them.   :p

The problem that I encountered was with the chest piece, where I tried to reveal more skin at the side of the torso. Let's see what I have managed to do now, that I had failed before.

Front Views

As you can see, I got the chest piece to reveal a little more skin and kept the modified bra from the initial mod. That's why there's no transparency (which I have applied in overdose in the past few posts) here.     >.<



Rear Views

The back was also trimmed off a little and off goes the 2 pieces of cloth to show off her leggy legs.  :p

Side Views

Oh and by the way, just for information, this chest armor is one of those that have the full body skin underneath the bra. This means that if the bra is taken off, we can see the full breasts (Yeah! No hole   :D  ). But since I am not doing that, I did not bother to include the nipples; so even if the bra is taken off, we will only be seeing something like a mannequin, such as the one in my previous post "Tiamat Guard's Jerkin".   XD

Finally, check out the video for some great views. The video was taken at an elevated location and you can see the lake, sand and even wild life, if your eyes are not too focused on the mod, that is.  :D
