Results of spending to much time in CaS & not enough time in training mode

Lovely work with the geishas. Skillful use of the kimonos, like painting on large, flat canvases. The yellow/turquoise, pink/green, and green/red color schemes are all bright and attractive. Creative use of those non-color-adjustable stickers to introduce asymmetry. The rabbit ears as hair extensions add a beautiful, modern twist to the geisha hair. It's kinda hard to tell, but are those horns being used as hairpins? You could also give the ant antennae a shot if you're trying to make hair chopsticks.

At first I dismissed Sophitia's design as a simple blue bikini, but the more I studied it, I appreciated its understated elegance. Careful combination of the gradient pattern with blue stickers on the skirt. The subtle gradient pattern on the bra creates an illusion of motion for the design. The ribbons tucked under the shoulder guards is a nice detail that I've never seen before.

I don't recall seeing her on Vilarcane's page, but I like the design a lot. Very chic outfit with the mini-hat combined with the powdered wig, scarf, and hair ribbon. Classic and modern at the same time. The sepia filter LeBello mentioned is probably the outfit's earth-toned palette, highly reminiscent of sepia-toned 19th-century photographs. The intricate, extravagant design also seems to draw from Ziegfeld girl fashion as depicted in the spoiler below:

Speaking of which, I've been trying just about forever to recreate this kind of antique beauty in my CaS but to no avail. Perhaps you'll have better luck?

Well Tira is a good character to dress up like that because she just seems to fit the style... It seems like an interesting style to use I will play around with it some more on Tira :D PM me if you have any advice to assist me on this.

Well at first I did not want to use the Isis Breast plate, but it was the most accurate thing I could find to Sophitia's 1P, I mean I could have used that leather shirt with the laced up strings but imo it's to bulky so I used the breast plate and put stickers on it to make it seems accurate. I don't really like how her tummy shows but I got over it. Thank you for noticing the hard work I put into the pleated skirt, the only reason I used the pleated skirt instead of Pyrrah's DLC skirt is because I could not put stickers on it :/ I also thought the ribbons were kind of a fresh idea to :D and a hell of a lot easier to place to.

God damnit I love reading your reviews, they are so intelligently worded and I just love them! Haha, yeah I had the idea to use the traditional like stickers on the bottom of the kimonos and it actually worked out quite well. And the fact that I could use a pattern on the top and then use the square sticker for the bottom part really made it come together. Ant antenna as chopsticks seem like an excellent idea, the bumps in the antenna seem like it would definitely add depth. And yes those are horns :D
 
Oh, btw, you should consider looking into this site to exhibit your work:

This "Perseonn Balthasaar" dude takes kickass screen caps of your CaS for free! The only catch is that Xbox users gotta write out the character formulas in the format provided here (PS3 only needs save file lol):

If you've got one or two CaS that need HD pics, it's worth the effort. Here's what he did for one of mine:

Best of luck, mate.

Oh wow thanks so much :) I will have to check this out, although it will be hard to figure out which creation deserves the most attention lol.

@orangeislands31: MAGNIFICENT. Pyrrvahkiin's like a kitten trying to be hardcore but ending up just really, really cute instead. The frost effect on the clothing and the hawaiian skirt as leather armor are both very cool.

@Le_Bello: Skyrim's kinda boring at level 47. You one shot everything. Nothing ever beats taking down your first dragon. Damn, those were good times though.

I just looked at the front cover of my Skyrim guide book and tried to make it as accurate as possible, I'm glad you like it :D
