AION - Adma Tunic Mod

The next on the list for the Adma armor set mod is the cloth version, a.k.a. tunic. The appearance of the tunic is very much like a bare-shoulder ballroom dress with a golden frame on the torso. Adding to the elegance is a cloth accessory that is made up of multiple layer of folded cloth, on the right side of the dress, and a big ribbon on the back.  :D

The armor set comes with a nicely designed pair of shoe, which is unfortunately, mostly hidden by the long dress. The golden frame also comes with a neck accessory, which has two 'antennas' pointed towards the sky. Although it looks kind of strange, I still like it (-.-) because it is what sets the armor apart from a normal ballroom dress.

Now, let's take a look at the original armor below.

Do you agree the armor looks like a ballroom dress?

Over the top image, you can see the golden frame more clearly and you may have noticed the 'antennas' sticking up from behind her neck.   >.<

The cleavage area is covered by three pieces of hardened cloths (or cards) that overlay each other. Beneath the hardened cloth is not the great view of the cleavage as expected, but a huge hole (as in the mesh structure).   o.o

On the rear views, you will be able to see the big ribbon just round the waist level and also a better view of the 'antennas'.  XD

Right Side View - Original Armor
Ah! here you can see the multi-layered cloth that forms a wavy pattern on the right leg.  :D

This is also the only angle in which you get to admire the nice pair of shoes, since the long dress obscure the other angles.   XD

Having done admiring the original armor, let's now look at the modified version below.

Front View - Modified Armor
The most prominent part about the mod is the shortened dress. Now we can admire that nice pair of shoe from any angle!   XD

I really like the multi-layered cloth on the right leg so I kept it. However, I agree that it looks a bit weird now with the short skirt.  >.<"

The mods applied to the torso area consist of transparent layers (on bra, side and back) and the rounding off of the hardened cloth on the cleavage region.

As mentioned before, the is a hole below the hardened cloth so I took some time adjusting for best result. Unfortunately, if you look from the top, you can still see a bit of the hole there.  ~.~

Rear View - Modified Armor
I like the ribbon so I kept it too and hope it doesn't look too weird!   XD

The cloth area, on the back, below the frame is not a smooth surface so I cannot directly re-draw it into a skin layer because, you know, skin surface needs to be smooth....  >.<

As such, I have used transparent layer instead and that has to be applied to the sides and tummy area too because they are the same layer of cloth (i.e. to keep continuity).

A further mod can probably reduce the armor to just the golden frame and transparent layer like what I had done for the "Kunax Jerkin", but that may turn it into a swimming trunk.   D:

That's all for this mod. Don't forget to catch the video for better view.
