Blade & Soul - Spellbinder (Jin Outfit) Mod

Hope everyone has had a great πŸŽ„ChristmasπŸŽ„ holiday! With the passing of Christmas, the end of year approaches. I hope by now, you have achieved the targets and goals that you have set for yourself for 2018. πŸ˜ƒ I know my goal of becoming a millionaire is still far away... πŸ˜†πŸ˜… J/k.

Sorry that I am a day late for this post; not because I was away enjoying the holiday but because of the video that I tried to put together.

Anyway, in this week's post, we will see the Jin Spellbinder, which is quite a new outfit. It was on sale on the online Hongmoon store just two months back or so.

As the name suggested, the outfit has a magical touch to its look, resembling those costumes worn by stage magicians. It even has a matching tall hat in which rabbit, dove and other surprises can be pulled out from, as countless magicians have demonstrated.

This outfit looks beautiful and as mentioned earlier resembles a magician's stage costume. The torso portion is a formal white-black wear, with a red-black swallow tail coat worn over it. The long sleeves of the coat are folded to reveal the forearms and a pair of white gloves.

Several decorations can be seen on the outfit which has the symbol of spade, heart, club and diamond; because we know magicians are good with cards. πŸ˜† 

Lastly, a layer of rough netting can be seen covering the legs.

Let us check out the original Jin Spellbinder below before we go into the mod.

Front View - Original Outfit
I called the netting rough because it looks like fishnet stockings and it blocks the full view of those leggy legs. πŸ˜…

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit
A leg band, filled with card's symbols of spade, heart, club and diamond can be seen on the right upper thigh.

Rear View - Original Outfit
The long swallow tail almost fully covers the view of the two legs..

And the coat obscures the view of the butt area.. 😧

The requester wanted the swallow tail trimmed because they not only block the view but also kind of stick to the back of the thighs when the character is moving, causing them to look awkward. 😰

I agree to that and thus I trimmed the swallow tail into kind of like a pair of bat wings, that extends to the side so the butt area will not be blocked.

Due to my love for leggy legs, the fishnet stocking will also have to go. πŸ˜…

Let's examine the mod outfit below.

Front View - Modified Outfit
Yeah! No more fishnet stockings! 😍

The thigh band looks good so I left it alone.

Rear View - Modified Outfit
Swallow tail is now gone..

And replaced by a pair of tiny bat wings. πŸ˜†

Side View - Modified Outfit
Leggy legs found. πŸ˜…

So, is the outfit more spellbinding now? πŸ˜…

I completed the Spellbinder mod quite fast because it is mainly removing of materials, so I took some time to mod another outfit - Jin Ghost In The Shell, as shown in the video and image below. 

The request is for the torso portion to be made similar to that in the Gon mod, that I made previously, plus removing the ghost face, tail fins and shoulder guards.

  1. Excellent work! Any chance you'd consider (or already made) the Gon's version (Spellbinder)? Would really love to try your mods on a Gon! Thank you very much!
