AION - Forest Denku's Frillycoat (to Fairy Tail Mavis) Mod

Last week, a viewer has asked whether it is possibile to create a mod that resembles the characters in the anime "Fairy Tail", such as Mavis, Zeref and Erza. He also recommended the Forest Denku's Frillycoat as a look-alike to Mavis' dress. Mavis' dress actually looks very simple and can be easily done up in real life but for skin mod, mesh design (3D model) causes a lot of constraints.

For example, Mavis' dress has the three pieces of cloth on the front of her torso. In order to paint those onto an in-game skin, it will need to have a flat surface that is not overly stretched. If the surface follows the contours of the breasts, anything drawn onto the skin would become distorted.
 
After checking out the Forest Denku's Frillycoat, I do agree that it kind of resembles Mavis' dress, except for the length of the dress, rounded sleeve instead of trumpet sleeve and an additional coat over the basic dress. But it helps a lot that the mesh at the torso portion of the costume is straight and not overly stretched, which enables the blue squares and triangles to be drawn on without becoming distorted.

The other good reason for using the Forest Denku's Frillycoat is that, it is a five piece costume, which can be worn separately. Thus, you can just wear the chest piece and leave the rest out so you wouldn't have the wooly shoes, gloves and tail which sticks out from the back of the leg piece.
 
Let's take a look at Mavis dress in "Fairy Tail" anime and the Forest Denku's Frillycoat to make a comparison.
 
Mavis (left image from http://fairytail.wikia.com)
and
Forest Denku's Frillycoat (right image from https://aionpowerbook.com)  
From the image above, we can see the similarities in the dress and the coat. Do note that the Forest Denku's Frillycoat above included the hat and shoes which can be unequipped. You can also notice the main differences (length, sleeves and coat) that I have mentioned above. Other than that, Mavis also wears a shoulder cloak which the Forest Denku's Frillycoat does not have.
 
And so, I proceeded to work on the Forest Denku's Frillycoat in which, I firstly turned the entire dress and coat into an uniform pink color.
 
Next, I painted the three symbols on the torso area. Because of the open center design of the coat, I painted one of the symbols on the dress itself and two other sides on the coat. The three symbols ended up shorter than what Mavis' dress have because the length is limited by the coat (unless I make two short ones at sides and one long one in the middle).
 
Thirdly, I trimmed the sides and back of the coat to make it less obvious. However, the side and back of the coat cannot be excessively trimmed because it will leave a hole.  😡
 
Then, I tried to find a suitable shoulder armor similar to that of Mavis'. But the closest that I can find, with the design that covers the entire shoulder, is from the Orichalcum Key. Although I repainted it to full pink and removed the excess accessories, it still does not look that much like Mavis'. 😡
 
Let's look at the final result below.

Front View 1

We can see immediately that the length of the dress and the three pieces of cloth on the torso are shorter than that of Mavis' dress.

Front View 2
Do you think we should remove the two additional pieces of cloth at the sides of the cloak?
 
Front Close-up View 1
In the image above, you can see the two sides (on coat) are a layer over the center piece (on dress). We can also see the 'leftover' of the coat which cannot be removed due to a hole beneath.
 
Front Close-up View 2
Well, the cloak does not wrap around the neck like Mavis' cloak, but this is the only shoulder in game that have the closest design.  😅
 
Rear View
In the image above, we can see the 'leftover' of the coat at the back. It will be a hole if the region is removed.  😦
 
Side View
Yep. The rounded sleeves can be seen above.
 
Side Close-up View
Unfortunately, the mesh sets a lot of restrictions. A 3D modeler should be able to lengthen the dress, adjust the sleeves and maybe even the coat, but that's beyond my capability.  😦  Unless someone can point me to a free 3D modelling software that can handle a diversity of model types.
 
Well, I guess for now, we'll need to find a hairstyle and maybe a hat that can be modified to look like those feathers on Mavis' head. But I don't recall seeing a hairstyle in AION that is as long as Mavis'.  ðŸ˜…

Another costume that I find closely match Mavis' dress would be the one worn by the pet NPCs who stroll Veteron Citadel and Eltnen. It has the required length, trumpet sleeves and a layer in which the three symbols can be drawn. Unfortunately, the torso portion is stretched and thus caused the symbols to become distorted as shown below. This does not affect the original costume because it is just a plain color on the torso.

Distortion on Torso
Overall, I'm not fully satisfied with the mod but that's the best I can do without altering the mesh.  😞

AION - Jedi Outfit Mod

For the past one year or so, the movie world is so hyped by the "Star Wars" Franchise with the release of "Force Awakens", "Rogue One", an upcoming Han Solo spinoff  and of course, most importantly, the passing of a well-loved leading actress Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia).
 
In AION, we also have light sabers to play with, although it is called "Aether Blade" in game; and has a sword-like handle design rather than a cylindrical one in Star Wars. It even comes in 3 colors of red, green and blue.   :D 
 
The down side is that only sword wielders get to use them because they can only be skinned onto sword type weapon.     Q.Q  
 
Anyway, that gave me the idea to mod an outfit that looks like a Jedi in Star Wars movie, while wielding the aether blade. So, what does a Jedi looks like?
 
Well, from what I have researched, it seems that a Jedi is normally dressed in really plain and simple clothing, sometimes with a long hooded robe. And you will probably not find more than 3 colors on their clothing.    XD
 
Take a look below at Luke and Obi-Wan from a scene in Star Wars: A New Hope and you will understand what I meant. 
 
Scene from Star Wars: A New Hope
(Image from Starwars.com)
Well, strictly speaking Luke isn't a Jedi yet, at this stage in the movie, but maybe his inherent Jedi persona has driven him to dress like one?
 
Anyway, Jedi are warriors seeking to bring balance to the Force and peace to the universe, so in the course of their training and practice, they may have discarded cravings for materialistic pursuit. Thus, the simple and plain clothing that defines them.

The chest portion of the Jedi outfit consists mainly of a short robe fastened, at the waist, by a cloth/leather belt. Due to the way they wear the robe, it forms a "Y" on the front of the torso. The leg portion simply consists of a loose cloth pants coupled with a leather boots.  Actually this outfit fashion can be found in many real ancient human civilizations too, when zippers and buttons have not been invented yet.   XD

In order to mod a Jedi outfit, I needed a costume without collar and has the "Y" design on the chest; coupled with loose, arm-length sleeve; long loose pants and long leather boots.

With AION being the king/queen of armors and costumes, I never thought I would have problem finding a close match. But how wrong I was, because it took quite a long time for me to find a costume that can closely match the Jedi outfit.

The closest match that I can find is the Japanese Kimono, with the "Y" chest design, belt at waist, matching sleeve and garment extending past the waist. Unfortunately, because the Kimono is a traditional long dress that entirely hides the legs, the designers tend not to pay attention to the hidden legs. The legs turned out to be really skinny and of irregular shape because they can't be bothered with setting 'normals' (a term used to refer to data points that tells GPU the angle in which light reflects off a surface) for hidden areas. In simpler terms, the surface will look smooth with correct 'normals' and angularly flat without 'normals'.

Thus, I discarded the idea to use the Kimono and used another costume which I think was from long ago. However, although this costume meets the "Y" design, belt and boots criteria, it is sleeveless and the pants is just a short. But since I am out of choices, I had to use it but re-painting the arms and legs to the cloth color. So, it ended up as a Jedi outfit with tight sleeve and pants.   D:

Let's look at the final mod below.

Front View
Over here, we can see the tight sleeve and pants, which of course is not part of the original Jedi uniform.
Front Close-up View
Rear View
Rear Close-up View
Side View
As you can see this outfit is really plain with only 2 colors; mainly light yellow on chest and pants, and brown on bracer and boots. If you look carefully, you can also see the aether blade hanging on the left side of her waist.

That's all for this mod but what's a Jedi mod without the famous light saber in action, right? So these images below will show the outfit and aether blade in action.  :D

Striking Stance

Parry Stance

Top-down Slice Attack

Side-way Slice Attack

Combo Slice Attack
Well, if you can't get enough of the light saber action in the images alone, you can check out the video where there is a few fight sequence with light saber sound effects too! But don't keep your hope too high though, cause my video is amateurish and the sound may not match the action exactly. Plus, we can't get to see light saber vs light saber action, where they collide and clash, because game animations do not have that physical contact concept, like in a movie. In simpler terms, the action is a full sequence where sword strikes finish in full swing, without the possibility of being physically blocked or parried.

I got the sound effects free from sweetsoundeffects.com (Thanks to King for sharing). You can even get to see his 2 cute Jedi kittens fighting with light sabers, in 2 videos that he made.   :D



(Note: This costume is an old Children day's costume and I am not sure if anyone else have it  >.<)

AION - Assassin Outfit Mod

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! Hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday.  :D    
 
How many new year resolutions did you managed to achieve last year? Great work if you have managed to achieve all of them. But if you have some left over, well, you are not alone... I have plenty left unachieved too...  DX  
 
So, have you planned your new resolution for this new year then? Let us strive and hope that we can achieve all of them by the end of the year!
 
But for now, let us get to the first post of the new year and as the title suggested, this post will be showcasing a mod on an assassin outfit. What drove me to work on this mod? Well... In my previous post, I had worked on a "Harley Quinn Outfit" and while I was looking into the details for Harley Quinn's outfit, another character from the movie "Suicide Squad" attracted my attention. If it is still not obvious enough for you, it's "Katana" (performed by Karen Fukuhara).

The white mask contrasted by her black hair; white wrapping cloth on her torso, contrasted by a black jacket laced with Japanese-styled ribbons, patterns and banner; combined to give her an unique look, in a way. Not forgetting the katana that Katana wields (Hmm... that sounded strange   ~.~  ) is said to be cursed and will absorb the souls of its victims, while driving an evil wielder to commit evil acts.  O.O    Fortunately, she's not evil and thus, not driven to perform evil act.    
 
Just for a bit of information, katana is a kind of Japanese sword used by Samurai in ancient feudal Japan. Tatsu Yamashiro (a.k.a. "Katana") probably adopts the name from the type of weapon she mainly use. Hence, a katana-wielding Katana.   XD
 
For those who have not watched the movie, this is how Katana looks like.

Katana in Suicide Squad Movie Poster
Within AION, there're 2 costumes (Mad Biker and Biker) that I think can be mod to closely resemble Katana's outfit as both wears a jacket with a tight pants. By covering up the legs and modifying the patterns on the jacket and torso we probably can get a close enough match. However, there will be a problem for the ribbons and banners, since I cannot modify the mesh to include them.   :(

Mad Biker & Biker Costume
So I decided not to fully duplicate Katana's look and do it in another way, following the torso wrapping but without the jacket, or rather draping a "jacket" over her shoulder.

Surprisingly, trying to find a suitable chest piece actually took me a lot more time than expected. The chest piece needed to not show the cleavage, as expected of a chest wrapping, while the shoulder and tummy area needs to be skin layer. I had tried on several chest armors and all failed because of the requirement for tummy and shoulder skin layers.  D:

Fortunately, AION never lets me down. When I am almost loosing hope, I decided to take a final look at costumes instead of armor, and alas, I found the "Bard's Look" set. As we can recall from my initial few posts, costumes in AION normally come in a 5-in-1 piece fashion, where the chest, pants, shoulder, gloves and shoes are all combined into the chest piece. This means that if the character equipped the chest costume, its all other 4 parts (pants, shoulder, glove and shoe) will be replaced as well.

But for the "Bard's Look" set, it comes in 5 separate pieces and the chest piece (Bard's Blouse) is very close to what I needed. It has everything from covered cleavage to skin layer shoulder and tummy. The only unwanted parts are the 2 cloth "buns" on the upper arm, which I have to keep, because we will be looking at missing upper arms if they are removed.   :(

The other armor pieces that I have chosen for this mod are the "Vasharti Brigade General's Vambraces", "Anuhart Breeches" and "Kaisinel Protector's Shoulderguard", which I have used to 'fake' the jacket that is draping from the shoulder. But in my opinion, any tight pants, such as the "Veteran Hunter's Breeches" would fit in nicely with the mod too.
 
What does the final mod looks like?
 
Front Views 
As shown in the image above, I had turned the torso area into wrappings and also removed the leg guards from the "Anuhart Breeches" to reveal her full leg. The mask was also modified to be full white and slightly trimmed.

Front and Rear Views - No Shoulder

From the last image in which the shoulder has been unequipped, you can clearly see the 2 "buns", on her upper arms, that I have been forced to keep.    >.<   But I did fixed the color to a red-black combo.
 
Finally, watch the video for the assassin in action. The video is a little dark as it was taken during the in-game night time, since assassin usually strikes in the night.  :p

AION - Harley Quinn Outfit

In the previous post, I had briefly mentioned about the Harley Quinn styled leggings and also introduced the double toned hat skins available in AION. Then, it struck me... Why not do a Harley Quinn mod? And so, here we are.
 
Those familiar with the character from DC Comics probably know that Harley Quinn had undergone extensive changes physically and also psychologically. Psychologically, she had transformed from being a psychiatrist for the Joker, into his partner in crime as a super villain, and then eventually into an anti-heroine. Her illustration had also gone from wearing the red-black full body costume, complete with joker hat and mask; into low-cut top with hot pants/skirt, dropping the hat and mask to sport a 2 toned hair style. Although the black-red double tone style still remains.
 
Harley Quinn's Transformation according to Wikipedia
But it was the recent movie version of Harley Quinn (performed by Margot Robbie in "Suicide Squad") that captured my attention. Maybe because she was the most colorful character in the movie poster? And I do mean literally most colorful. XD    Thus, I decided to based my mod on her although she sport mostly blue-red tone instead of the black-red tone from the comics. But she does wear a black-red diamond bracer, as a link to the comics version.  XD

By the way, we can also notice that Harley Quinn has changed her weapon from a mallet to a bat too... Wonder if that has anything to do with her relationship with Bruce Wayne (a.k.a. Batman) in the comics... You know, "The girl who is good with a bat"...  :p

Anyway, in order to pull this off, I would need to find and mod suitable chest, pants, glove and shoe. As you can see, this would be a major mod of 5 pieces of items, plus the baseball bat. And, yes, AION does has a baseball bat that can be used as a sword skin. XD   As such, this would probably be my only post for the week. 
 
The armor pieces that I chose for the mod ranges from leather to plate, namely the "Veteran Hunter's Jerkin" (which I had also previously used for a mod), "Vasharti Brigade General's Chausses",  "Steel Rose Sailor's Chain Glove" and "Vasharti Brigade General's Sabaton". Searching for these suitable armors, that match the specific requirements, already took quite a bit of time, especially when it comes to Harley's outfit. That's because symmetry of armor is quite a favorite in games, as designers will only need to include one side of the armor in terms of graphics and that translate into a lot of saving in terms of disk space. So, you can imagine trying to fit in Harley's love for double tone and that "Daddy's Lil Monster" slogan on her shirt.  >.<"
 
Fortunately for me, there're still the above mentioned armor pieces (chest and pants) that meet those criteria. Though unfortunately, I cannot help her to keep both Harley's actual hairstyle and the 2 tone hair color, as you will see later. Also, I can't put her signature 2-tone eye shade on her face (else all other players will have the eye shade too  O.O  ), so I simply give her a really thick black-colored eye shade, red hot lips and pale skin. Yes... for AION players, you know what that means... 400 Million kinah (in-game currency) gone... poof.... ~.~   For curious non-players, well, the "plastic surgery ticket" to perform a character change cost that much in game or five bucks if paying with real life currency on Black Cloud Marketplace (BCM).
 
Wow... I think I talked to much... So let's get to the mod now. Oh, please don't mind if the hair looks weird due to bending because the video and photo was taken on a moving boat that is floating in the sky; so her hair is being blown by the wind.   :D

Front Views
From the front view, we can see that she is sporting a double tone hairstyle but it is not quite the actual hairstyle of Harley. The actual hairstyle is shown in the image below. See the difference in the angle where the pony tail is formed.

Front View - Actual Hairstyle
The reason, I cannot have double tone on the actual hairstyle is due to, make a guess... symmetry again. Both sides of the pony tail shared the same graphic texture, so if I apply any color, it will appear on both pony tails.    -.-"  So I just use the double tone hairstyle (as double tone is the symbol of Harley) although I like the original hairstyle more. Which one would you guys prefer though?

Oh, by the way, I got the color on the wrong side of the head...   DX

Rear Views
Side Bottom View
Not forgetting the bat with "Good Night" imprinted on it. Unfortunately for some players, they may not be able to equip the bat because the bat is actually a skin that can only be applied to a sword. So unless the character is a Templar, Gladiator, Assassin or Ranger, they can't use it.  >.<

So what do you guys think of my Harley Quinn mod? Check out the video.

AION - Astronaut's Costume

Hello everyone and welcome back for the first post of the week. In this post, I'll be showing a mod that I have done on the Astronaut's costume. As for the reason why I chose this costume; it is because I wanted to perform an extended experiment on transparent material.  XD  If you guys can remember, I had tested partial transparent material on the "Adma Jerkin" and translucent material on the "Archangel Outfit" last week. And so, this time round, I wanted to see how that will look on a full costume.
 
However, I am not talking about just simply making a surface "disappear". As we can recall in my post on "Remodeled Danuar Helm", I had talked about how material cannot be made translucent unless they are specified so, in the material meta data. Thus, for any material that exist above the skin surface, we can only either make them "disappear" (provided that does not leave a hole   ~.~  ), redesign them in color/pattern or simply leave them alone. We cannot turn that material into a transparent, glossy glass-like surface that reveals the skin below, if it wasn't specified in the meta data.

The type of transparency that I am talking about here is for skin-tight material, where the material is basically wrapped tightly around the body. Thus, not every armor or costume can be used for the purpose of this transparency mod. Although, there are also several other costumes that can fit the criteria, such as the "Burlesque Bunny" (a.k.a. Playboy Bunny) or the many swimsuits, the factor that led me to choose the "Astronaut's Costume" is that it not only allows me to test the full body transparency but it also has patterns running on the suit that conveniently cover those sensitive areas, and that's a plus because it saves me the huddle of finding ways to hide those areas. In other words.... lazy~~     XD
 
So many words... I am not sure if you guys can understand what they mean so let's look at the before and after images to get a clearer picture.


I had chosen the dungeon named "Aturam Skyfortress" for the image and video shoot as it kind of resembles a space port with the Balaur battleship "Dredgion" in the background. 

Front View - Original Costume
 
Front Close-up View - Original Costume
From the above image, I guess you guys can now understand what I meant when I say there are patterns that conveniently cover the sensitive areas?  :p 

Rear Close-up view - Original Costume
Not sure is it just me, but for some reason, I felt that the mesh at the butt area of the costume was deliberately designed to be flat. Maybe some other AION player can confirm this?   XD

So... Has anyone already started to imagine what the costume will look like when made transparent? Well... no need to imagine because the answer is below.  :p

Front View
Seeing skin color yet?

Front Close-up View

There we go, all transparent and glossy except for those blue lines running along the suit. It may not be obvious due to the specular reflection on the chest area but the tummy area will show more skin color. And notice the neck area which I left unmodified because of the constraints I mentioned earlier? The ideal modification is to turn it into a translucent material without skin color but I can only either make it disappear or re-color it. If I ever try to do the same thing to it, that I had done for the rest of the costume, wouldn't you agree that it will look weird?   D:


Rear Close-up View
Hmm... What do we have here? Why place a "V" shape pattern on the butt?

Well... Like the neck area, the butt also needed special treatment. Err... That just sounded wrong?  >.<    Anyway, the explanation here is that since the costume is plastic-like material and transparent, would you agree that we will be looking at her butt line if the "V" shape is not there? And since the butt line is actually a 3D groove structure (well, we all know what a butt line looks like so there is no need for me to describe in details   :p  ), it cannot be simply drawn onto the 2D surface of the material. Therefore, I chose to conceal the butt line with a pattern on the material.

That's all for the "Astronaut's Costume", if you find the images unconvincing, you can watch the video. A picture is worth a thousand words but a video shows many, many still pictures so it's like a few million words?  XD

AION - Archangel Outfit

AION 5.1 has just been released in NA and I guess NCSoft has injected even more armors and costumes because the name (Mesh_Textures_100) that I normally used for my additional mods has been overridden.  O.O    Eventually, we'll get to see what they have added, but for now, let's just look at a costume from AION 5.0.
 
In the previous post, you may have been wowed by the "Archangel Outfit". Well... At least I did.   XD   So, I will look into the outfit for this mod; I mean how can I possibly pass on such a nice outfit, right?
 
Let us refresh our memories of this outfit which has a kind of ancient Roman and Celtic design essence. The most striking feature is, of course, that wide-open-in-mid concept. I still can't get over how the cloth covered only half of each breast. In accordance with Murphy's law, they will probably keep slipping off and exposing the full breast, with any kind of slightly rigorous movement.   ~.~
 
But hey! this is a game skin and who would care about physics or Murphy's law being applied to a game skin?
 
Multiple Views - Original Costume
So, what can I mod for this already very sexy skin? Well, first of all, the 2 pieces of cloth dangling down from her waist, on the front and back, need to go. However, I kind of like the design of the gold patterned lines on the cloth so I decided to remove the cloth while keeping the lines.
 
Front View


Rear View
Next, I can make it even sexier by making everything translucent!  :p    But I am not that evil... yet... So I think I'll just make the 2 most intriguing cloth around the breasts look translucent.  XD
 
Front View - Close-up
After the mod, the cloth wrapping around her breasts will now change color slightly according to the chosen body color. It may not be very obvious here due to her fair skin color but I have tested with darker skin color and... it works!
 
But hmm... Is there something missing over here? 
 
We definitely know what's missing but no, I am not putting the nipples in there because I'm really bad at that!    D:   If anyone is bold enough to give it a try, you can further mod my mod (because it rhymes  :p  ), but be warned that the texture around those region is drastically stretched so whatever you placed there might look weird. I know because I tried... -.-"

In order to pre-appease those who will be raging at me for the missing nipples, I gave the cloth a little nipple bump instead. Hope that will get me off the hook.   >.<

You can also treat the cloth as, not translucent, but just automatically aligning itself with body color.  XD
 
Side View
Well, that's all for the "Archangel Outfit" mod. Watch the video for some close-ups or you can try the mod yourself if you are an AION player.

AION - Ballerina Outfit

For the past 3 posts, I have been showcasing armor mods, so in this post, I'll do a random outfit instead. As suggested by the title, it will be a Ballerina outfit. Hmmm...where did I get the idea to make a Ballerina Outfit? Well... In AION 4.0, NCSoft introduced a new class known as Songweaver, who uses Harp as a weapon and are given graceful animations (although their idle animation does gives a "stoned" or "lost" kind of feel, in my opinion  ~.~  ). And, it is their motions that reminds me of ballerina in a ballet performance.
 
In fact, AION has plenty of examples for matching outfits to animations, such as Bruce Lee's fighting suit and his Kung Fu animations; boxing attire and boxing animations; diving suit and diving animations; baseball outfit and pitching animations; and the list goes on. Look at these images taken from AION NA's online shop, Black Cloud Marketplace.

Baseball Outfit with Batter animation

Dragon Training Suit with Dragon Taunt animation
(Image from Black Cloud Marketplace)

Ninja Outfit with Ninja animation
(Image from Black Cloud Marketplace)
So, I thought to myself why don't I mod a ballerina outfit to match the Songweaver's animations.  :3
 
I started off by searching the internet for examples of ballerina outfit and decided to mod a classic outfit, which is basically a tight fitting pink bodysuit with a tutu. In case you are wondering what's a tutu, it is the fluffy layered skirt worn around the waist or hip of a ballerina.

With the design decided, I then need to find some armors or costumes in AION that can fit those criteria. There are in fact several costumes such as "Ornate Butterfly", "Cute Devil Outfit", "Black Swan Outfit", that come close to the classic ballerina outfit. Unfortunately, they do not have that really skin tight effect on the torso area.

Cute Devil, Black Swan and Ornate Butterfly
Finally, I decided to use 2 separate chest and pants armors to create the ballerina outfit.
 
For the chest part, I chose to use the "Sea Feast" series armor because it has a pure skin mesh without abnormal protrusion on the skin surface. This gives the possibility to create a really skin tight effect required for the torso part of the outfit. Another reason is.... well you guys will see later.  :p 

As for the leg, I found 2 possibilities, namely the "Dreamstrider Pants" and "Kaisinel Legging". Both are of the skirt and panties design, with the skirt looking similar to a tutu (although not a perfect match  >.< ).

In order to match the outfit, I will also need to source for a suitable shoe and this is a big problem. Why? That's because almost all AION shoe armors have heels! I am not sure how many shoes I had to look at before finally finding one without heels, namely "Remodeled Danuar Shoe".    >.<   Unfortunately for me, the shoe has a pair of socks like wrappings around the ankle, which I will have to live with.  ~.~

Let us now look at the final result which includes a modified "Sea Feast Tunic", modified "Remodeled Danuar Shoe" and slightly trimmed "Kaisinel Legging".

Front View

Front View - Close-up
The outfit at torso looks really skin tight, isn't it? That's because the outfit is basically painted right over the skin surface.  :p   And oh my... Is she the most busty ballerina I've ever seen?  XD   This is the work of the "Sea Feast" chest armor's "Bust-boosting" effect, which I said you guys would surely notice.  >.<
