Blade & Soul - Talus Dominion (Gon Outfit) Mod

The last time that I worked on a Talus Dominion outfit, it was like in September 2017 for Jin. After one year plus, a patron asked if I can do one for the Gon. I should be happy that there are still patron reading contents that I made almost two years ago. And it seems the Jin Talus Dominion has a record of 1,300 plus views, below Jin Enchanting Seductress at 1,700 plus. But of course, both posts' view counts lost to the mod download page which is closing on 9,000 views. 😆😅

Normally, I would have done the Talus Dominion for the Gon version too. However, I did not do the Gon mod because I basically do not have a Gon character at that time. Although I created a Gon character and began Gon mods eventually after several inquiries by patrons, I forgot about the outfit until the recent request. Now, looking back at the post, I just realized how many views it garnered. 😲

But the high view counts could also be due to some other reasons because no other post come close to 1,000, except for Jin Ashes In The Fall at 800 plus.

Anyway, that is enough on comparing the view counts and let us get back to the outfit. The details for the outfit and how it can be obtained can be found in the Yun post so I will not repeat it here.

Comparing the Talus Dominion for all three races, we can say they look very similar but each has their own design. Such as how the Yun's leather robe covers half of the right breast, while the Jin's and Gon's versions have the right breast fully outside of the leather robe. Check the image below for a better comparison.

Let us take a closer look at the original Gon outfit below.

Front View - Original Outfit

All three races wear the same silky tight-fitting bodysuit as the base.

The base tight-fitting bodysuit is then added with a black leather robe, complete with a glove and shoulder guard that are worn on one side of the body, opposite to each other.

Rear View - Original Outfit

A unique feature is the scarf-like cloth that wraps around the neck and drape down the back.

Left Side View - Original Outfit

The entire left arm is covered in another tight layer different from the bodysuit and a shoulder guard can be seen on the left shoulder.

Right Side View - Original Outfit

On the right side, we can see the shoulder guard is missing but a glove appears on the right hand.

And of course, the right breast hanging freely away from the protective layer of the leather robe. 😆

To be fair to all three races, I did the same mod on the Gon's version as with the Jin and Yun. But since the Gon's version is closer in similarity to the Jin's, I gave the mod a bandage wrapping as well. The Yun's mod did not need the bandage since the important point is hidden by the leather robe. 😅

Let's take a look at the mod below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

The tight-fitting bodysuit has now been replaced by skin layer as seen in the image above.

Though it is not obvious, I cut away a small part at the mid of the tail cloth.

The would-be exposed right breast is now wrapped under bandages as I did for the Jin mod. 😅

Right Side Close-up View - Modified Outfit

With the tight-fitting bodysuit removed, I have to cover up the crotch region somehow. So, I chose to do the same as in the other two mods - bandage them as well. 😅

Finally, I can wrap up the talus Dominion. Watch the video below for a better look at the mod. I have captured the video in Blood Shade Harbor dungeon, bullying the low level monsters, like the overpower Ainz Ooal Gown in Overlord. 😀 😎

You can also catch a glimpse of the tail-less Seductress and Temptress outfit, worn by the twins, in the video. 😄

Blade & Soul - Talus Dominion (Jin Outfit) Mod

In this week's post, let us work on the Jin  version of the Talus Dominion outfit. Previously, I had done a mod on the equivalent Yun outfit, and if you need to refresh your memory, here's the link. In that post, I had provided some information on the origin of the outfit but failed to mention where it can be found. Well, the outfit is dropped by corrupted Talus Dominion soldiers, who are working for the Dark Emissary Jinsoyun, in the Moonwater plains.

Since most of the details have been provided in the Yun Talus Dominion post, we can get started on the Jin outfit itself right away.

This is the first time I am showing the same outfit for different race (i.e. Yun & Jin), so just to recall, the same outfit can be worn by any race/gender (unless there is a specific restriction). And the outfit may look exactly the same on all races (excluding Lyn since their body shape is very much different from the others) or with some alterations. The Talus Dominion outfit for example, has some alterations between the races.

Just for comparison sake, let us look at the image below.

Jin Outfit                                               Yun Outfit

On the first look, the two outfits look quite similar with a robe over a tight fitting suit. But upon closer inspection, you will notice that the Yun outfit has a longer robe running down the right side and back, past knee level. While the Jin outfit is designed with a robe that covers only to the thigh level. Another prominent part of the Jin outfit (for guys at least 😅), is how it leaves the right breast out for display.  😣  Well... it is covered by a tight fitting suit but it still kind of looks awkward...  😆

Eagle-eyed viewer will probably also notice the difference in body shape but that's the general difference between the two races by design. The Yun race is designed to be tall and slim while Jin race is generally shorter in height but more fleshy. Maybe that's the reason why the outfit designer can't keep the right breast under the robe. 😛  But the biggest and muscular of all would be the Gon race (imagine a body builder 😲 ), which I have yet to shown.

With that said, let's take a closer look at the original Jin Talus Dominion outfit below.

From the two images above, we can clearly see the robe over the tight fitting suit, as in the case of Yun outfit.

The two images below will show you why I said it leaves the right breast out for display...

Right Side View - Original Outfit

For the mod, I made it very similar to the Yun version. That is the recoloring of the tight fitting suit to skin layer, and removing a little bit of cloth at the back so she will reveal a little bit of sexiness with some movements. That tiny slit is normally concealed by the cloth running down from her neck to butt, like the Yun outfit.

But then, repainting all tight fitting area into skin color will inevitably put the right breast on display, and this time, for real....    😰

Just when I was wondering what I can do to cover up the exposed breast, the Boss Mode came to mind. Just in case, if you are wondering what is the Boss Mode, check below.

Boss Mode Outfit (in-game load screen)

The Boss Mode is a highly sought after limited-time sale outfit because it looks so badass. In the Boss Mode, the pair of breasts is wrapped in bandages, kind of like Katana in the "Suicide Squad" movie or the Assassin Outfit that I did in AION. Instead of wearing the jacket, the Boss Mode has it hanging from the shoulder, as an adornment. Just like a boss...    😎   Hmmm...which reminds me... The Boss Mode does share the same concept with my Assassin Outfit.  😃

Oh... So, I borrowed the idea from the Boss Mode and applied bandages on the right breast of the Jin Talus Dominion outfit. And the result can be seen below.

So what do you think of the bandages? I know some may prefer it to be gone...   😆

Did you manage to steal a peek between the tiny slit?  😛

Wow! The right side looks really clean and she seems to have gone commando... No worries though, I did gave her a strapless white panties to match the bandages.  😃

Blade & Soul - Talus Dominion (Yun) Outfit Mod

For the second mod, I would like to show a Talus Dominion outfit for the Yun race. For a brief introduction and sake of non players, I will talk a bit about the Talus Dominion and Yun race here.

In the virtual world of Blade & Soul, the world was originally ruled by a technologically advance race of Naryu. However, the Naryu mysteriously went extinct, except for Mushin, after the last war with the Dark Realm. Mushin sacrificed himself by entering the Dark Gate and closing it from the other side, thereby locking away not only the Dark Lord's forces but also himself.

As time passed, another empire rose to take up the power vacuum left by the Naryu. That empire is none other than the Stratus Empire. Unfortunately, peace did not last forever as a power struggle erupted among the empire's elites. The Empress - Namsolyn and her loyal General - Yunma Kahn escaped and together founded the Talus Dominion on the Eastern continent. Yunma Kahn eventually became the Emperor who rules over the Talus Dominion, while the Stratus Empire remains dominant on the Western continent. During the world conflict, dubbed the Stratus-Talus War, the Talus Dominion was heavily disadvantaged. That all changed with the mysterious appearance of Jin Soyun, who wielded superb martial arts capable of taking on an army contingent single-handedly. Jin Soyun is also well versed in war tactics which successfully led to the expulsion of the Stratus forces from the Eastern continent.

Jin Soyun was then made the Emissary of the Talus Dominion and held great powers over the governance of the newly formed empire. When the Emperor - Yunma Kahn finally realized Jin Soyun's evil intention, he wanted no part of it. For that, he was secretly replaced by an imposter and locked away by Jin Soyun in the deepest part of the Talus prison. Having secured the control of the Dominion, Jin Soyun set forth her plans to bring her master - the Dark Lord into the Earthen Realm. The Talus Princess - Yunma Fei, does not approve of Jin Soyun's oppressive rule and tried to talk sense into the Emperor whom she did not know is an imposter. After the unsuccessful persuasions, Yunma Fei decided to form her own forces outside of the Dominion, which became known as the Skyhaven Resistance, in order to fight the Dominion' now oppressive rule. 

Ok...ok... I agree that whole bunch of explanation isn't as 'brief' as I have intended. 😑  But they are necessary to explain this special outfit with a 'flagging' property. The Talus Dominion outfit is one of those PvP flagging outfit present within the game. By PvP flagging, I mean players who wear opposing outfits can fight each other in the open world where PvP is normally disabled. The opposing outfit to the Talus Dominion outfit, in this case, would be the Skyhaven Resistance outfit. So, now you can see why I explained those things up there.  😆

Well... That clears up on the Talus Dominion outfit... So now an explanation for the Yun race is in order? I promise it will be short.  😃

So here we go... The Yun race is an all female race, prominently known for their tall, slim figure; coupled with fairer complexion and always full of elegance. Jiwan and Jin Soyun are good examples of Yun. But don't ask me how the Yun race reproduce though!  😅   And that's all for Yun description... See? It's short. 😃

And back to the outfit. The basic design looks like some kind of robe draped over a tight-fitting suit. The whole outfit is primarily of black and green-yellow theme, which made it a bit dull and definitely not sexy.

For the mod, I have basically recolored all the tight-fitting areas into skin color. So instead of having a robe draped over a tight-fitting suit, it now looks like a robe draped over the plain body. But don't worry though, I still cover up the important parts.  😛

Eventually, I also removed a tiny piece of cloth at the back so that her butt will flash occasionally when moving around. However, I kept the 'tail' like stripe of cloth dangling at the back so it closes this gap whenever she is standing still.

Let's look at the modified outfit below.

We can see that the tight-fitting suit is now gone!

The robe just sufficiently covered the important point on the right breast.  😆

Wow! The left side looks really 'clean' now.

Like that sexy gap right in the middle?   😆

The 'tail' normally covers up the gap and reveals occasional sexy view when moving.  😆

Check out the two video captures of in-game cinematics and gameplay for the modified outfit in action. More stories about the scenes in the video are in the description.
