AION - Indigo Phoenix Tunic Mod

This week we are going to look at the cloth version of the Indigo Phoenix  armor. Similar to the breastplate and Jerkin, it follows the black color scheme. However, as compared to its plate and leather version, the tunic features a whole phoenix (finally!) right in front of the torso area, which can be dyed. And it would look amazing if you applied an appropriate color.  :D

 

The tunic is a sleeveless, full length dress with open front-bottom, bare-shoulder, and half bare-back design. One interesting design is a chain net which covers the front torso, from the tummy area to the upper thighs. However, the tummy area and legs are all 'dark-out' with dark colors, so this design isn't very obvious unless we view it at close range. Not sure if that's some kind of censorship or something.   >.<

 

So, let's look at this tunic below.

From the above 2 images, we can see the full black dress with the golden phoenix (I dyed the tunic to orange-yellow color) in front of the torso. As mentioned earlier, the chain net, which is just right below the phoenix, is hardly visible from a distance.  ~.~

The layer over the inner bra is made of several card-like designs that open up into a fan-like structure. They don't show much from the front but offer quite some eye-candy from the top.  :p

From the rear, the tunic looks quite simple and not really exciting. Fortunately, the actual shoulder armor does make up for the lacking. Over here, I'm just using a shoulder armor from another armor set so that we will not have any obstruction to the view of the tunic.  XD

Side View - Original Armor

There are several things that I have done for the mod, including extension of the chain net design to the butt area, recoloring the tummy/leg areas and modifying the bra area.

 

Let's look at the images of the mod armor below and I'll describe further.

 

Front View - Modified Armor

Over here, we can see that the legs have been recolored to skin color.

With the recolor of tummy area, the chain net is now more obvious from the same distance.

For the bra area, I had stripped away the card-like structure and modified a little on the bra hidden below them. For some reason, the mesh for the breasts seem to be too protruding, such that a bit of the breasts can be seen overlaying the inner bra on each side. Thus, I had to draw something on those protruding areas to hide them, by making them look like part of the bra. So, for those eagled-eyes people who have notice uniformity issue on the bra... That's the reason.  >.<"

 

Well, another way is just to strip off the inner bra and go topless (since the breasts' mesh structure was left intact), but I'm not going to do it.  ( -.-)

Ah! here we can see the chain net duplicated on her butt area. Well, since we already have the net for the front, showing off the front of her panties, so why not do it for the butt too, right?  :p

Unfortunately, the chain net cannot be implemented on the entire bottom part of the dress because that region of the dress is a stretchable mesh. This means that the chain net would become irregular when those areas are stretched due to movement. The butt area is safe because it does not get stretched as much as the rest of the dress.

Side View - Modified Armor

Finally, we have the side view... Hmm... Did I stripped more than necessary for the inner bra?  >.<"

Other than the tunic, I have also mod a bit of the shoe so that it will match the new skin color of the leg.

Well, that's all for this mod. Check out the video below for a better look.
