Messing in fashion

Tom is a solid choice :P

Also, colourwise, it depends on if he's into the UK or is pure English nationalism, as the Union Jack is the UK flag but England's own is Red/White. Either way, if you're going for the old red, white and blue scheme, mostly blue with red/white lines should set you right, and plenty of Lion imagery too.

How about Ian, Clive, and Nigel? Look to Charles Dickens for inspiration. That dude's the best character namer in history. It's kinda unfortunate, but red/white/blue applies for like half the national flags in the world. Even Gundams. Review forthcoming.

Elf Pyrrah: It looks like you added some splashes of green to grime up her outfit. I kinda prefer the original pinecone design, but do appreciate this slightly more functional outfit.

NakoNatsu: Cute warrior Miko. Still same overall design as last time. It looks like you may have adjusted the colors a bit. Simple color scheme of blue/white establishes her as a Miko. The brown and yellow add grit to the design. Nothing really fancy going on, but Mikos are supposed to be pretty simple after all. You're off to a very good start with the hair extensions, but they're merged almost too well with the hair. I'd consider exaggerating those locks of hair. Extend them as far as you can, right up to the point they start looking unnatural. Also experiment with hair extensions using bump-mapped stickers. Page 10 of my gallery has a couple examples that couple SpecEq with stickers for hair extensions if you have the time. That Japanese guy's thread (posted in the multicultural thread) also has some very cool hairstyles. Overall, I really like this Miko's action girl vibe.

GundamLeixia: The blue chestplate is a huge improvement over the bandages on the original. I'd switch the brown out for either red or white for more authentic coloring. Try using a pair of rabbit ears to cover the mouth. It'll look relatively natural and provide some much needed blank space around the head. Also consider decreasing the size of that red jewel on the head.

Leixia 3P: This one I like. Not a technically demanding design, but superb balancing and detailing. That geometric pattern is put to excellent use here. The red highlights all the armor pieces while the black serves as a connecting/transition color to make the other colors pop. The tiny splash of turquoise on the breastplate really brightens the design and ties it together. The crescent moon hair extension in the middle doesn't quite flow well with her hair. I'd consider rotating it a bit. That or making it an ahoge.

Murrica Jim: I like this new shoulder armor set. The stripes on the pants are a nice addition. I actually can't figure out how you did that lol.

Yoshi Nakamura: Hmm...interesting idea. She'd fit right into The Hunger Games or Battle Royale. Looks like a Japanese schoolgirl on scavenged equipment. The pocket sticker isn't quite working. It's kinda just creeping up the waist wrap. Try raising it up so that it partially covers the belt. Then color in the belt with a large square and/or a number 1 sticker. As a general rule, you don't want your design process influenced by the equipment's default colors. I always start with "color all grey". Then I mess around with the "color all" to pick my primary color. School uniforms can get pretty fancy in anime like pink or turquoise. Even patterns like plaid can be popular. I'd design the uniform (preferably with some sort of pattern, since they tend to add alotta detail) first. Then, I'd move onto her scavenged gear. Definitely keep that name badge though. It contributes detailing and color to the design. Also consider swapping out that gun for a bow to go with the arrows. Then you can use another SpecEq to bling up the bow. Possibly a helmet ornament.

Fencin' Tom: This is very promising. I like how you turn the kendo helmet into a fencing helmet by hiding the neck flaps with the stereotypical Shakespearean collar. Two birds with one stone. I think you gotta find a way to put a Union Jack on this guy. Maybe a couple patterns or number one stickers will do the trick. Or turn the holster red and integrate them into the Union Jack. This might be something I have to look into later. I see you gave him some fancy armor as part of his European knight stereotype. That lion belt is a bit too ethnic/archaic looking for him though. Maybe replace it with something more knightly. I don't think he's quite reached his maximum potential, but I'm gonna try to think of some way to differentiate Tom from Jim later.

I can always count on your review. It gives me direction.

Pyrrha: there's not much I want to do as I'm okay with it.

Gundam: maybe I should have leixia dress up as the fixed up one, but for now thanks for the suggestions.

Leixia: definitely taking your advice.

Natsu: fixing hair will be done.

Murica Jim: I'll have to get on scv to tell you. I forgot.

Yoshi: in general, I wanted to take a cute yet pretty Asian lass, and put her in a "non traditional yet you can still see some japanese in her". Hunger games and battle royale fashion I may need to look into and more.


Fencing tom: is like sunny the monkey girl. They're ideas I want to improve. Course there's not much I need to improve on sunny as she's good to go. Tom I thank you for the tips along with everyone else.

RIP Xbox 360. Ps3 is all I reside on for old CAS and some new alike. I have no DLC, yet I could squeeze quickies.

Fujo and Alfonso de Garza's true outfits you have to look a couple pages back and you'll find it. Horus fortunately is DLC free.

Gundam Gal is the longest lasting recreation CAS I've kept. As reward I just slightly fixed her. Disco Jim graduates to Battle Jim. Yoshi Nakamura I changed to Suzume Nakamura. Oldies I like most was Jim and Suzume.

I don't know what this knight is, but I'll scrap it.

However it's thanks to failures like "I don't know what this knight is", I remake a SCIV forgotten CAS idea named Aksel. Simple Knight stuff.

Finally, I decided to just take Steampunk Leixia delete it and make a derp anime character out of it. Last picture of her alongside the new character named Sonika. Backstory is as simple as this: she is a spunky cute lass who enjoys tinkering with mechanical stuff. Sonika means nothing in particular. I just thought of taking the name Sonic and making it girly, change some colors around and poof. Personality is like Tails "Miles" Prower.

Har har.

Next up, Yoshimitsu fun. Knights are fun stuff. So I made a Euro Yoshi inspired from his 1p of SCV, derped a Black knight with him, and made my new edit based off Wood.....which makes him look like SC1 Yoshi.

Strangely, I'll have to thank the discarded idea of Fencing Tom for Euro Yoshi.

Leixia I rushed a bit for. Fight fight Leixia is temporary. Leixia in battle will pair up as a collaboration to Mitsurugi in next post.

Mitsurugi is next. Mitsu over oriented collaborates with Leixia in Battle. It's well.....me trying a different approach.


Sheriff Mitsu was simple and easy to make because it somehow works.

Natsu is a farmer and she cosplays as 2 people with names that start with N.

Naruto and Nakoruru would be intrigued....

Nightmare and Astaroth was rushed. Edit that lasted long I nicknamed Daydream and a Nightmare of the east. For Asty it's Plain-a-roth and an edit that's obligatory with freedom...

Pyrrha gets some attention. First one is none other than Derpyrrha. My intent was to play around the cropped jacket. Turns out the apron makes a nice clip on for ideas. Anyone want to take a challenge playing around with apron and cropped jacket?

Elf Pyrrha P2 is just based off of Elf Pyrrha P1. Nothing special because it's all animish.

Hilde I spent some time on. Thanks to Lucina of fire emblem, I actually appreciated her more.

I first made a simple 1p edit of gold and blue which I dub Golden Blues.

Date Masamune makes a return, but only because some haven't seen it. However, it was aging.

So I revived Leixia the Geisha idea and decided let's over-do it. I went ahead and tried placing a bow not only on her head, but on one of the horns acting as hair extensions. I also put a silly blue surcoat and at first thought, "I don't think it'll work." However knowing this is a derp custom, I went ahead decorated it and added adept sleeves. The head band acted as accessory. Now it's quirky yet it intrigues me. The pics are just showing whatever.

Nothing special, but not relying on DLC(too broke and lazy to get them) gave me some ideas. Despite them not being stellar, I hope they at least can be something anyone can take an idea out of.

Also I knew it was a matter of time until you were CAS mod, @brucege. Congratulations.

Pocky Yoshi out.

Edit forgot Lost Swords stuff.....

Mitsurugi almost restored. Just need those sandals...


Nightmare with a flight helmet outfit.


Finally, Taki in some outfit.



Okay now I'm actually done. Not sure if I'll come up with something new, but I don't know.

Taki looks interesting. never seen the girl with a skirt before.

You've been busy..............Natsu-ruru, battle Leixia and Yoshi recolor are my favorites from this set.

Did not pay attention to japanese Hilde, looks quite interesting
