WIP: Quick Update

[heget]

So that third tunic variation I was talking about? Here's a pic of it so far:




So, opinions?


Edit: So i was browsing through my Bodyshop and found this old mesh i'd made but neevr did any actually recolors for:


It's just a bit shorter, the mapping is slightly different, and the sleeves and shoes are not the same. Still, how did I forget this? And more importantly, Hat, would this work for the mesh you wanted if I also give a version with the sleeves I made from above?



(Work those legs, boys!)

Oh, to actually function as a tunic texture as-is instead of a shirt? Yeah, I'd do spiral lacing or buttons up the front, on the tight sleeves either lacing or buttons... Or you could leave the collar as-is and just add some trim around the neckline (like ZoeJ's tunics on the old Tunicpants mesh, or Lothere's Saxony Viking tunics) and on the straight sleeves, maybe the cuffs too... Really, they could be pretty simple.

Make slashing a popular choice because in sleeves, at least, you use less of your fine outer fabric and puff your shirt or chemise through it to give a grander look. It's surprisingly economical.

Just an update: I have worked on the tunics and made more meshes, etc...

But I've gotten seriously side-tracked with female clothing for the 18th cen. (For a given value of accuracy). I spent most of today making properly clocked silk stockings and hand-painting the templates to recolor stays. Of course, now I want to slap the stockings on everything- especially the rather garish bright red w/ white.

I'm telling myself it's because in my hood the 1700s come before the 1400s inspired folk- but frankly it's because it's a great excuse to look at costume screen caps from Marie Antoniette.

If you want, you can look at the WIPs at the Keep. I'm going to have to re-import the pixelated dark shades -and take a lot of in-game photos.
