AION - Heavenly Tunic & Leggings Mod

In this week's post, we will be looking at the cloth version of the Heavenly set's chest and leg armor, which are 2 separate pieces. As compared to the plate set, which looks uncomplicated, and the leather set, that looks like cloth armor; the design of the cloth set is very unique (or some would say weird), looking like a hybrid of flower, butterfly and chameleon.    >.<

What do I mean by hybrid of flower, butterfly and chameleon? Well.. the first cue is that flower in the middle of the chest and the extensive uses of colorful layered petal design, which resembles petals forming a flower. This layered petal design can be seen prominently on the skirt, the bottom extension of the chest armor and the trumpet-styled sleeves.

The butterfly-feel comes from the neck lace, which extends upwards into a collar, that looks like butterfly's wings that are stacked together.

But the most prominent aspect of the dress is probably the curvy chameleon tail that trails  from the back of the skirt. 

Let us look at the images of the original armor below.

Would you agree that the armor gives a very flowery feel by looking at the two images above?  :D

Other than looking similar to butterfly wings, I think the collar also resembles some part of a plant, isn't it?

Rear View - Original Armor
Ahhh... Here we can see the curvy tail. It doesn't have the exact same texture or shape of a chameleon's tail, but that curvy part at the end really reminds me of one.  XD

Rear Close-up View - Original Armor
Nice bare back there!   :D

Side View - Original Armor
For the mod, I kept all the designs because I find them so unique.  :D   The exception is the trumpet sleeves that looks so 70's.  ~.~

So, let's look at the modified armor below.

Front View - Modified Armor
First of all, the skirt and chest bottom extension are trimmed to show off more of her leggy legs. But you can see the flowery design remains though.

Secondly, the trumpet sleeves are shortened with the intention to reduce the circumference of the opening. But it seems I ended up trimming too much though.  >.<"

Third part of the mod is on the chest, repainting the cloth covering her cleavage into skin, and of course, at the same time, I have to remove the flower that blocked my view.  XD

Other modification on the chest also includes turning the cloth texture, on the torso, into transparent texture. Fortunately for me, the straps, that run right through the middle of the breasts, can sufficiently cover the nipples, so I don't have to crack my head trying to find ways to conceal them.   XD

Side View - Modified Armor
We can also see the transparency on the sides as well.

Rear View - Modified Armor
The rear view looks almost identical to the original armor because I kept the tail and its accessories. On top of the fact that, the back is really bare and has nothing else to modify?  XD

Just one last thing that I find on the chest armor is that it seems to have some kind of bust shrinking effect, as opposed to the Sea Feast chest armor's bust boosting effect.   -.-"

So, that's all for the mod and you can watch the video for more details of the mod.
