Alternate drk AF - Mithra

[lastury]

My first .dat or skin edit of any kind. Mainly seeking constructive critisism and comments. If enough people like it, I'd be glad to upload the .dats
The modifications concern the helm, body, and gloves. The other peices are Onyx gear as I have yet to work on legs or feet yet.

Attachment is an image of the work in progress from several angles.

Go easy on me.. T-T

Hyrist,
I think I've seen you a few times on midgard, I'm not sure but maybe a couple of them were associated with Phalanax or Momoshiro. Thanks for the support =3

Here's the completed .dat files.. Continue with replies please XD
I need more input so I can do more work and possibly re-edit more AFs.

It's pretty conservative even with the complex textures. Any way you can make it a little bit more flamboyant?

Re: Alternate drk AF - Mithra

I like that

Good job, IMO some of the best looking items are the more simple ones. As a first try that's great.

Keep it up

Could you explain a bit more, or perhaps an example? I don't mind trying, but I'm having trouble grasping what you mean by flamboyant.

I think the most flamboyant thing I did was add a faded streak of purple in the visor of the helmet. I thought of adding maybe more elements like that, but in a way I wanted to save that for a possible AF2 edit. Again I'd like to try out what you mean, toss me an idea and I'll see how it works. :3


And yes, I wanted to keep it somewhat simple since my initial goal was to replace the AF entirely; I needed it to look like it belonged among other AFs. It looks, as most dats do, better in game than in the model viewer.

Thanks for the comments, suggestions, and downloads. Keep it comming! XD

Re: Alternate drk AF - Mithra

the helmet is supposed to look more skull like right? If it doesnt them ignore me - if it does then listen I guess

I like it, but maybe a little more bone-y/skeletal ness would look cool.

Re: Alternate drk AF - Mithra

i think it looks just fine... and cant you do something simular to this where you can take armor and AF and attach it to different races of your choice?

That turned out to be an unexpected yet potential benefit when I remapped the textures. It was surprizing, and led me to realize I was visualizing the map wrong.. Somewhat upside-down. I tried to apply some skeletal features, but a lot of them didn't turn out as well as the helmet. I'll tinker with it some more, it wasn't much of a concern at the time but now I suppose I can apply it as part of the theme to the set.

In other words.. Good idea. XD

Looks great to me! Is there a program for this?
