I seek CAS improvement!!!

All Chars moved to front page Phaedra edited. Good night world!!!
 
Well tonight I am posting a side project of mine. I try to main Pyrrha so I made an actual 3p which involved a fair amount of effort. I got my inspiration from Taki's 3P in SCII which is for those of you who don't know or don't remember:

Orianna is cute with the pastel-colored outfit, but because of the fur, her gloves does not seem to belong.
Amelia is good as-is without the misplaced quiver. You can try align the quiver belt at her hips and overlap behind the sword.
Ayumi has a nice color scheme and a good use of pattern on her gloves. Her dragon-stamped short pants bugs me, though.
Tatianna clearly look Chinese without a Chinese name. I'll pass on her.
Larissa's 1st outfit looks too festive for me, but her 2nd looks great :D
Phaedra have no clear theme. There's cat, snake, beastly arms...
Merak has a good monster theme :D He could use something on this arms, but he's good as-is.
 
I appreciate the comments, now if I may explain myself the quiver is actually behind the belt it's once the character starts moving around is when it gets funky looking. Tatianna originally wasn't chinese. I changed her name and forgot to update that.. About to fix actually. Hmm would you elaborate on the festive part for Larissa 1p? Thanks for your comments. You have quite the collection of CaS on that site. I'll take a look at it for ideas.
 
Larissa's 1st costume have hairdress with ribbon and feathers, paired with frilly top, tartan skirt, archery armor, and ornamental belt. For me that's too much decoration in an outfit in which she must make a lot of movement (Leixia's style).

Okay thank you for elaborating. Once again I appreciate your comments!!!
 
Well for tonight I have some edits Phaedra and Merak and Merak's 2P. I feel his 2P is rather plain so I am posting him in hopes of getting some suggestions

Thank you very much!! I appreciate that.

On a more general note, due to extenuating circumstances, I will be unable to post new CaS and I will be fairly inactive on 8way in the near future. I would like to apologize for this, but life enjoys throwing curve balls. As soon as everything is in order, I will return with some hopefully delightful CaS.
 
Before you peruse this post...

This says it all. SO without further delay I will present what I have been working on. Also I will include some notes of what I was trying to do.

Sigmund

No shirt? No Problem!

Notes
Sigmund is homicidal. He murdered his father and stepmother for laughs and blinded his half sister in one eye. That was before he became malfested. Needless to say this a slight foray into monster CaS. His 2p i hope will be all the more monstrous. He is a bit plain. But that was my intent if not for the pallid skin and gore on him, He might pass off as your atypical arse hole nobleman's son.


Arrianne

Notes
Arrianne's mother had the misfortune of marrying a nobleman whose son was a homicidal maniac. She studied the arts of war and the arts of a homemaker, while her brother went off gallivanting (AKA killing kittens, puppies and prostitutes.) Much to Sigmund's chagrin, she quickly became the golden child of her family. One day, she found him standing over the bodies of their parents. Sigmund then proceeded to overpower her and blind her right eye. She managed to shake him off and flee. No she lives as an exile, gathering money and favor in hopes of retaking her parents lands.... I did some playing with stickers to try to add some detail to the dress. Unfortunately, that added a weird gray tone in the sleeves which is why she has more armor than I had intended. I have mixed feelings about the breastplate and the helmet she is wearing, but I felt she needed something there and that seemed the most aesthetically pleasing to me. She seems very.... Blue. I couldn't seem to find a color I liked to help break it up a little more.
 
Welcome back! Here's some thoughts:

Sigmund: Great work with the mask. The red eye and scarring really amplify the face's asymmetry. I woulda used an asymmetrical hairstyle like Maxi's to take it even further. Also try sticker bump mapping the mask for fun. The outfit itself is grungy aristocratic, so it serves its purpose, but I'd try to decorate it a bit. Like applying a reset zipper sticker on the front to give the appearance of a differently colored inner shirt. You could also try using those SpecEq slots to give him a brooch/pin or maybe even extending the mask with something pointy for extra evilness.

Arrianne: Very cool how you kinda segmented the dress with gold highlights. Smart, how you covered the color bleed (from large yellow square) with gauntlets. That's a neat belt too. I'd move it upwards to the narrowest part of the waist though for extra girliness. Since you've already armored her up, I'd take it all the way and make her straight-up valkyrie. Color the armor white for some much needed color contrast and BAM. Masterpiece.

Keep up the good work! And if you're looking for new ideas, come check out the CaS challenges like this one:

It's good to be back and Thanks for the critique! I'll definitely add some more details to Sigmund. I did use the snowflake pattern on his mask, so i made need to change it a bit to make it more apparent. I had tried white on Arrianne's armor but I thought it was a bit much. Looking back at it now, It does look much better. That belt is a pain to work with so I kinda got it decent then rage quit :P I'll keep fiddling with it. Thanks again!
