This week, we will be looking at the Gon Commitment outfit, which is a request from almost a month ago after I posted the Yun Commitment mod. The details about the outfit can be found in the Yun post so I will skip them.
As mentioned before in the Yun post, Commitment looks exactly similar for all three races. The outfit has a modern design sporting a sleeveless shirt with open front and back, a pair of white trumpet trousers and finally a very thick belt on the waist.
Although, I dislike the trumpet trousers (because they looks very 70s 😐 ), I cannot do much about it because removing or trimming them would reveal a disconnected pair of feet. 😓
The most that I can do, is for the shirt as shown in the Yun mod, where I transformed the shirt into a laced layer. That is also what I plan to do for the Gon mod.
But before that, let's take a look at the original outfit below, as proof that the three versions for the Yun, Gon and Jin has the exact same design. 😅

The base design can be seen to be an exact copy of the Yun, right down to the tattoos on the body. However, their positions can be seen slightly shifted due to the inherent difference between the Yun and Gon body mesh.

The demon face decoration on the belt looks the same too.

As mentioned earlier in the post, I did the same Yun mod on the Gon's version.
Although the mod seems pretty easy like just making holes in the shirt, in actual fact, it takes a little more effort than that. I skipped mentioning that in the Yun post since that part of the mod cannot be seen or compared between the original and modified versions. But I thought I would explain it here as a supplement.
The not so obvious part of the mod has something to do with the skin color which is hidden below cloth. I guess now you can understand why it cannot be verified by comparing the original and modified versions. 😆
If we are to look closely at all outfits, we will notice that the skin color darkens between an area exposed to surrounding light and an area hidden under cloth. This boundary creates a shadow-like effect much like our real world. As such, the entire skin surface under the Commitment's cloth has a darker shade to it.
Now that I intend to make the originally fully concealed area semi-visible from outside, I need to take care of that, by recoloring those areas to normal skin color while also preserving the tattoos.
So, as you can see now, it is not just simply 'poking' holes in the shirt alone. 😅
Let us take a look at the modified Gon Commitment below.

As seen in the images above, the originally fully opaque cloth now has lace pattern on it, giving a semi see through effect.

The back of the shirt has also been modified to lace.

Unfortunately, I do not have the outfit on my Gon so I cannot get any closer look at the mod to check if the important points have been carefully concealed. So don't scream if you notice anything unusual. 😰
Oh, by the way, if you think that this outfit can be made topless, I suggest you to forget about it. 😆 Although the entire torso does exist under the shirt, the mesh structure of the breasts looks weird since they have been altered to fit into the shirt. The sides look like they are permanently compressed towards the center. It does not stand out that much under a semi see-through setting but it looks really weird if nothing is over the area. 😑
Since I do not have the outfit, I can only make the video using the in-game Tailorshop. Thus, I cannot do any close up views due to the limitations but I hope it is enough to show the mod.
Back for a Yun mod this week, we shall work on one of the new outfits - Commitment. To say that Commitment is new, is both true and false. True because its the first time we see this name, and false because we have already seen before its sister outfit - Allegiance, which has exactly the same model. The difference is just a change of color and body tattoo. You can take a look and compare the two sisters below.
Commitment Allegiance
As seen above, Allegiance has a white shirt over a black trumpet trouser while Commitment has a black shirt over a white trouser. The other significant difference is the tattoo on the body.
While Commitment does not seem to have any indication of where the name comes from, we can perform some basic deduction for Allegiance. As you have seen above, Allegiance spot a bad ass dragon tattoo on the back of the body. Historically, such tattoos hold great significant for gang members from secret societies, specifically of oriental descent, such as Japan's Yakuza. From that historic background, I guess you can see where the word allegiance comes in. Since these secret societies dictates loyalty among their members by making them swear allegiance.
From Allegiance, we can relate to the Commitment outfit, in a sense that commitment can have a lesser meaning of allegiance, and in a much lesser degree.
Without further delay, let's take a more detail look at the original Commitment below.
Front View - Original Outfit
The main part of the outfit is a black colored shirt over a pair of white colored trumpet trousers, with a thick belt between them.

The shirt is decorated with blossom branches similar to the tattoo on the body. Two blossom branches can be seen extending from the shoulders towards the breasts.
Rear View - Original Outfit
The open back design allows us to see the blossom tattoo that extends from the neck to the waist.

A demon face can be seen hanging on the belt, at the back.

One blossom branch also extends from the shoulder to the upper arm on each sides.
From the loose shirt, which looks like it consists of only two pieces of cloth on each side of the torso, we can expect the entire body mesh to be available. And we know what that means... This outfit can be mod to become topless. 😈
However, I will not be doing that since someone else will probably have already done it. Instead, I modified the two pieces of cloth that made up the shirt into a lace layer. This gives a semi-topless effect to the shirt but not entirely naked. 😅

We can now see many 'holes' on the shirt.
Rear view - Modified Outfit
I left the tattoos intact because they look nice.

I also clean up some shadows on the skin layer so that we will not see darker skin through the tiny holes.

The close-up views may not be clear enough for us to see the effect so I have also attached two more images with super zoom.

Clear enough? If not, see below.

I have taken special care to conceal the important points so please don't expect to see any accidental slip. 😅
So what do you think of this semi-topless design?
You can see more close-ups in the video but since this is a game outfit, don't expect any accidental exposure due to rigorous movements. 😅
