Blade & Soul - Spellbinder (Gon Outfit) Mod

We have officially entered the second week of the new year but I still feel the drag effect from the end of 2018. I hope everything is starting out smoothly for all of you though. πŸ˜†

Anyway, finishing up on the Spellbinder series, we will have the Gon Spellbinder mod in this week's post. As seen in the previous two posts, the Jin and Yun Spellbinders look exactly the same, and that also applies to the Gon version. 

Since everything about this outfit has been talked about in the previous two posts, let's dive straight into the mod itself.

As a recap of what the Gon Spellbinder looks like or how similar it is to the other two races' versions, take a look below.

As you can see above, the Gon outfit is exactly the same as that of the Jin and Yun.

Similarly, for the mod, the goal is the same - shorten the tails and remove the fishnet stockings. However, I tried a different design for the trimmed tail. Instead of ending the bat wings to two sides of the hips, I make it end in the middle. In this way, the waist line will not be obscured when looking from the back.

Take a look at the mod version below and see which tail design you prefer.

The pair of fishnet stockings have been removed.

And the swallow tail has been trimmed.

But the end is at the middle of the back instead of the sides. This design gives a better view of the waist line from the back. πŸ˜†

But it also clearly reveals the separation between the shirt and the bottom piece.

I have combined the Jin, Gon and Yun Spellbinder into one image for comparison below.

After comparing the two types of tail design, which one do you prefer? πŸ˜…

Well, that wraps up the Gon Spellbinder but since it is a simple mod, I have also included the Gon Nirvana mod in this week's video.

I have made the Gon Nirvana mod exactly the same as the Yun's. You can take a look at the before and after image just below.

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.

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

A leg band, filled with card's symbols of spade, heart, club and diamond can be seen on the right upper thigh.

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.

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˜†

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.
