Blade & Soul - Ethereal Phantom (Jin Outfit) Mod

Two weeks ago, a patron saw one of my previous mods from last year, the Yun Ethereal Phantom, and asked if I have the Jin version. Back then, I noticed that it is only possible to mod the legs of the Jin version, so I am not very interested in doing it. But upon this request, I checked the outfit again (I forgot its look and thought it has the same appearance as the Yun version 😅 ), and found that the Ethereal Phantom actually has different appearances for the three races.

You can compare the three versions below. I show only the white Ethereal Phantom here since the black version is the same except for color and linings.

Gon                                    Jin                                      Yun
The prominent feature of this outfit is the ghost face hanging by the waist. Gon got the hottest design as always (most of the time) while the Jin and Yun had to sport a pair of trumpet sleeves. 😧

For the Yun, the overall design is like a shirt with trumpet sleeves worn over an inner blouse, and the bottom is made up of a pair of tights.

For the Jin version, the pair of tights feels more like stockings because a pair of trunks is worn over them.

In the Gon version, it is safe to assume that they wear a pair of stockings, from the look of it. The bottom is pair of sport shorts, while the top is a shirt slightly similar to that of Jin and Yun, minus that exaggerated pair of trumpet sleeves.

After comparing the three races' versions on top, let us take a closer look at the original Jin white and black Ethereal Phantom below.

Front View - Original Outfit
Both versions have the same cut-out but differ in terms of the color scheme and linings.

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit
The ghost face that is hanging prominently on the waist front can be easily missed if we are not paying attention. This is due to the color scheme that seems to camouflage it with the surrounding cloth.

Rear View - Original Outfit
We can see the trumpet sleeves 'cutting' into the torso just like in the case of the Yun outfit. 😧

Rear Close-up View - Original Outfit
A long strip of torn-up cloth, that compliments the 'phantom' aspect of the outfit name, runs down the back.

Side View - Original Outfit
The side views provide the clearest view of the menacing trumpet sleeves. 😦

Side Close-up View - Original Outfit
From all the images and texts above, you can probably imagine that the pair of sleeves is my number one nemesis. Unfortunately, like the Yun's case, they cannot be removed due to disconnected arm. 😰

Since I cannot do anything to the sleeves, I turn my attention to the arms and legs, recoloring them to skin tone.

I also notice something that has escaped my attention when I last look at the outfit. And that is the torso portion right in the middle. That area, consisting of the under boobs and upper abdomen, is actually tight-fitting to the skin and can be safely recolored to skin layer. 

The recoloring of the mid-torso to skin layer separated the outfit into top and bottom halves. Although the exposed part of the breasts can also be recolored to skin, I did not do so. Instead, I retained the top part of the cloth so only the under boobs are revealed, making it similar to the Nirvana or Dream Cutter outfit.

Let's check the mod below.

The arms and legs can be seen recolored to skin.

The mid-portion of the torso has also been recolored to skin tone, causing the outfit to be split into top and bottom halves.

The front cloth has also been shortened to the same level as the ghost face.

No changes have been done to the back of the outfit.

The pair of trunks cannot be removed else we will be looking at legs that will be disconnected from the torso.

I left the linings on the wrist because it will take some time to remove them on the normal texture. Or a simpler explanation, I am just being lazy. 😆
