AION - Indigo Phoenix Hauberk Mod

For the last piece of the Indigo Phoenix armor set, we'll be looking at the chain chest, a.k.a. Indigo Phoenix Hauberk.

Overall, the hauberk looks like an full sleeve evening gown, which has a long slit running down from the chest area to the right hip. This design feels like a shirt that someone would wear from both sides and button up at the middle; except that the only button here seems to be the beaks of the 2 phoenix that hook together. And since the slit ran right through from the chest to the hip, it also gives an impression that it has gone commando underneath (i.e. no panties).   o.o

But of course, that's (going commando) not true. The designer had simply "erased" the side of the panties so it doesn't show up under the open slit. Don't ask me how a panties can be worn without the side straps because nobody really care about physics (at least not on costumes) in a game.  XD

So, let's take a look at this exciting commando-styled armor in the images below.

Front View - Original Armor

At the bottom of the armor on the left side of the body, we can see a trail of feathers, that looks like the extension of the phoenix's tail; one from the front and another from the back.

The overall design also shows off the leggy right leg.

Front Close-up View - Original Armor

Here, we can clearly see more of that sexy slit which 'cuts' the armor in halves, and held together where the beaks of the 2 phoenix meet.

Rear View - Original Armor

Over here, we can see the tail extension of the phoenix, from the front right to the back bottom.

The back of the armor also has a slit that runs half way down.

Side View - Original Armor

Now that we know what the original armor looks like, let's see what can be done for the mod.

Basically, I took the original design and expanded it further by opening up more on the chest area and duplicating that commando effect on the left thigh. I also kind of like the idea of the tail extension so I tried to keep a part of it....Hmmm.. More like the front half of it.  XD

So, let's see the mod version below.

Front View - Modified Armor

From the above image, you can see that the left side of the armor has been trimmed off, at the hip area, giving a panties-less feel. Don't worry (or maybe get too excited?) though. She's still covered underneath.  :p

The top 2 images show an expanded opened chest concept.

Rear View - Modified Armor

From the rear, you can now get to view both of her leggy legs instead of one.

Rear Close-up View - Modified Armor

The modified panties is just sufficiently covered by the tail feathers of the right phoenix.

Side View - Modified Armor

Although the mod looks pretty simple. I did spent a lot of time trimming the little details to finally get it to the way I wanted.  >.<

The hauberk was dyed black in the above images so the phoenix and design are not sufficiently highlighted. It would probably look much better with a bright colored dye.  >.<"

Well.... Hope you guys like the mod. Check out the video for a better view.
