Iron CAS

Like I said, hate that breastplate, so I made it into something I could like... And I only have one.
EZIA!
Ezia Auditore

Yup, gender-bender. The breastplate is analagous to Ezio's shoulder-plate.
 
I spent way too long trying to figure out a direction to take for this CaS. Even then, it was an uphill battle, but I'm glad to say I'm happy with the result.

Rosa UPDATE 6/18/12

Character Background:
Rosa is something of a living oxymoron. On the surface, she acts like a bubbly, happy-go-lucky girl. However, her past is shrouded in mystery; people have asked her about it before, but she always changes the subject or, if that doesn't work, finds a way to make a quick exit. She's somewhat clumsy, so she's not very good at many things. However, she is an excellent thief and uses her skills to make a comfortable life for herself. In fact, when investigators scout out her latest scene of the crime, they always find a trail of rose petals, hence her name, as a calling card that outlines very clearly how she was able to take what she was after and get away with it. However, that's the limit of her aptitude. She's not much of a fighter; she's only just managed to live this long by sheer luck.

Design Notes:
- Like with any secret ingredient, I wanted to push the capabilities of the Archery Breast Plate while letting it fulfill its intended function, so I was happy to see that the Dancer's Breastplate clips through certain upper body equipment, including the Tight Shirt, in this case. The Tight Shirt itself also clips through the Archery Breast Plate, which provided even more embellishments that helped me materialize a character concept.

- Speaking of the Tight Shirt, I used the sections that clip through as the leaves on the lotus flower sticker. They were colored simply through the use of a square sticker. UPDATE 6/18/12: lotus flower sticker switched for flower special equipment and rose sticker, color on Archery Breast Plate pattern changed

- The butterfly wings sticker was used to add some much needed detail around the collar area to her tight shirt. UPDATE 6/18/12: butterfly wings sticker color changed

- A max size buttoned pocket sticker was used to add texture to an also very plain Cowgirl Skirt.
 
I like how utilized the clipping, don't think I ever thought of something similar. But I don't think it fits with a sticker, why not use the actual flower with them?

Yeah, that didn't occur to me until just after I posted the design. Don't you hate when that happens? Unfortunately, I think the deadline's already passed. If it's until June 18, 11:59 PM, though, I can still update the entry.
 
Quick, which one of the previous two should I remove?

[Note: I hate this kind of character design, but it fits the item and it's kind of satire].
 
Entering a 2 very old customs of mine from my originals messing thread. So yeah, I just followed Gatsu's example on posting old customs...... want to fight about it? When in doubt be the generic kunoichi you can find everywhere.

Her name is Rei Hayashi. Very simple plain jane tomboyish kunoichi....

Simple serious

Soft colors while being anime-ish genericus.

And that ends my run. *holds up flame shield*
 
I don't think I have enough time to submit a third entry, which is too bad, since I wanted to show off what the Archery Breastplate looks like with the Dancer's Breastplate underneath, but I'd rather have invested time on one entry than turn out another half-assed one, so, Rosa's been updated.
 
I vote for MistaKoo's first entry. It's not just unique, it looks good and utilizes several pieces that I find difficult to use well(notably wonder jacket and cuff boots).
 
I vote for FreeMeal
I think their entry is unique, uses the breast plate as a focal point, and seem to have a mysterious story behind it's design.
