Wish I could have used my love aura on my skolver coat but oh well.
Now I just need a divine wolver tail and mine will be complete.

Tersakoff's guide to creating a successful outfit and general fashion talk. Offering critiques.
This is costume I am very close to finishing, would you mind taking a look at it? Its Spiral Spied because I can't access SK right now.
Also, I've considered adding a heavy scarf to it, but I'm not sure if I should because of how the bottom of the helm sticks through it.. what are your thoughts?

I thought the OP said something about using full sets as a costume... most likely with a negative connotation...
Too sleepy to post 9 links, so here you go ._. My gallery. All the same costume but with minor variations. I know the color on the Stranger hat doesn't entirely match but at least it's Divine, so its secondary color matches with Skolver.

@Thewach
That doesn't make it much better.
@Snarkey
Well, that's good that you like it, and other people's opinions shouldn't matter then- but you asked for mine so you'll get it.
The armor and helmet do not match at all chromatically. They have completely different schemes. The PC helps that kinda though. And the.. dapper combo.. doesn't make much sense on that helm- unless you're a hair woman lol.
@Inco
I see
On to the costumes...
-Miracle Hoods
Oh god no. I'll just say yes or not, from top left.
Yes, Meh, Meh, No, Meh, Meh, Yes, Meh, Meh, Yes, No, No, No, No, Cute.
-Seerus/Almirian
COH-MMON. But yeah it matches.
-Merc/Iron
Seen that on Hadn first and afterwards, not so much actually. It's neat.
-The next one
That's matchy-matchy, me likey.
-Small scandinavian trollish creature
Well you did manage to pull that off. Kinda overused though
-The next one
Yup, I agree. :) It's neat.
-Last one
No. It doesn't fit chromatically at all, the colors are only close, not fitting.
@Burq
Err.. almong the Seerus costume, this isn't really overused actually.
The light yellow on the armor and the white on the helmet don't match
The helmet has too much red and the armor too much grey and the yellow PC really doesn't help it.
The tail doesn't fit chromatically at all, and the wide vee.. well I guess they could be.. eyrbrows? xD
@Tohlevi
I'd normally completely bash a costume like that, however, yours has something to it that makes me kinda like it despite it being kind of a mess.
First, the hair and dapper combo don't match any other violet parts, the mewkat is completely random and unfitting, and the helmet and armor don't have any coordonating colors at all, almost. However, personally, I kinda like it.
The Sprinkle Aura is just.. colorful.
@The dude with the complicated name
Vitakit doesn't match, flower either, love puppy is random and unneeded, aura just ruins it, the greys do match and the PC brings it together but the white on the armor doesn't match the light yellow on the helmet.
@Pilot
That's just an accessorized dragon set.
@Trav
Yes, I did. Full sets are just accessorized full sets, not well-thought out outfits.
@Mistelli
The accessories are brought together by the personal color and I like that- congrats! However, the extra vents are kinda.. well, don't make much sense but eh. And as you said- the top of the stranger hat doesn't match, it just doesn't have any coordonating colors.
It would've been great if not for OOO ruinig Stranger Hats completely with the dumb tops.
Crap. I uploaded the wrong picture. @_@ My bad, I had just woken up at the time and didn't know what I was doing.

Okay, so if the grays in the Heavy Demo Helm don't match those in the Vitasuit Deluxe, would Bombastic be a better choice? Otherwise, what would you have as a helm on the VD? I'd like to use something with it, but if nothing really matched then I won't bother making it. Also, which Demo Helm and relatively cheap accessory color do you think would go best with a Skolver Coat and Red PC?
Despite me not playing so much SK these days, I suppose the fashion side of me can't resist placing my own costume in here...
The first one is the one I wear a lot, the second one is a somewhat situational one I use sometimes.
Oh...and perhaps now would be a good time to say that I was not satisfied with the default textures alone, so I made my own...
First outfit was ganna go either full heavy or full dusky, as the armor I chose for it allowed me to go both ways, although because I already had my Heavy Parrying Blade on the outfit, I decided to keep with the heavy theme.
Second outfit I put up more for your opinion on my texture re-edit, rather than my accessory choice. Trust me, I don't like my own choice of accessories on that outfit either.
Side Note: These are somewhat old pictures, I have some slight changes that would effect the outfit a little bit:
1) These pictures were before the height + eye update.
2) Thus after these pictures were taken I moved up one height level (to tall) and my eyes are now shifty.
Would like to hear your opinion on these costumes.
I'm not too much into this evaluation stuff but I thought I'd give it a shot:
All conveniently in once pic
http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/8526331/img/Anonymous/fits.png
Known stuff: (feel free to point these out anyways if ya like)
1. Tip of the tail is too bright, magic hood grey is too dark
2. Helm guards dont really match :<
3. -
4. Bright flower for contrast
5. The rim on chapeu
6. Mask is bright for contrast
I've been gone for like a Week...And you SHTILL NOT RATE COSHTOOM! THISH ISH OUTRAGE!
JESUS IRON >:O 8.5
@Pilot
The light grey on the tabard armors doesn't coordinate anywhere, ribbon overkills badly, there's too little white on the helm to balance the tabard, and I'm not so fond of the bando. Wolver tail has way too much white. Heavy scarf could go away together with the ribbon as they are But overall, it's a neat costume.
@Mike
It's alright if you won't do it again.
The helmet's blue is odd but eh, and the shades are too dark. Otherwise, the PC and accessories are pretty balanced. I like it, despite its flaws.
@Scarred
I think you'd want to take these images down ASAP as your account could be terminated for them. This is against the ToS. The edits aren't bad, I like them though, but the first one is waaay cluttered (and overused) and the dusky parry has absolutely nothing to do on that vog.
@Uuni
1. I like it! It's all well-balanced and stuff. The tip doesn't bother so much.
2. Yep, helm guards aren't so great and the crest has nothing to do here, and the edge of the plates on the armor aren't seen anywhere else, but it's not a bad costume.
3. I've seen this way too much lol.
4. Neaat. :> I like it! 'Cept for the flower, I don't think it's a good kind of contrast.
5. Actually, the rim is fine since it balances out the white on the vitakit! Kinda overused, and the lower part of the dress as well as the dark blue parts don't coordinate, but it's neat overall.
6. Hah, seen this a lot. It's always neat though. Except for the headband, it's a few shades off from the cloth of the armor.
Pretty neat costumes. :>
@Soarel
First thing that caught my eyes was the com unit. Take dat thing, and put it all over there in the trash. The PC doesn't help so much- lime isn't great with military, viridian or turqoise would help. The divine and military have that common tan, and I see you've noticed that, however there's other colors that are left out so it's not all that great.
Sorry for the slow replies, busy Ters is busy, hence why I barely post on the forums now.
+1 to thread and to asking Tersakoff for fashion advice, I almost bought the wrong personal color WHEW lol
I've been doing texture re-edits for a long time now.
Countless times has these edits gone up on the forums. Nothing happened.
Hell, even Nick one time made a tweet about a certain GIF I made, and made no comment whatsoever about all the re-edits that were present in there.
True, under the borderline definition of the ToS, what I am doing can be considered against them. Keep in mind though, all these edits are visual only. The only thing they do for me is make the game have a bit more sparkle. Under no conditions am I exploiting anything by changing the files (i.e. I am not changing the files so I can see invisible recons, making certain things more obvious, etc. etc.). The only thing I did was make some textures look a bit more akin to the style I was going for, and add a few particle effects to player weapons (of which these effects do not mess with any in-game elements).
I've done this for some time. I know what I am doing. Although if OOO decided to terminate my acount, so be it. I don't care that much since I pretty much do not play this game anymore.
I just wanted to clarify that what I have done was only for the art aspect, not to get any game advantages.
@Scarred
Interesting. Every time I've asked about it they told me it's absolutely forbidden, despite being only for myself, and aesthetic.
Here's another that I might work on...
I know this:
1. The PC isn't all that great but I wanna keep it until I can figure if this one is better than my current.
2. The brown on the helm and brown on the armor barely match.
3. The gray on the shoes is discolored.
Here's a link:

Commentz??????
Yeah, Mike, it's bad.
There's no purple or light teal on the helmet at all.
And it's ugly.
Oh. Okay, but isn't there some teal on the knight's face? Also, how's this for a costume so far?

What do you think? I want to add Prismatic Glow Eyes, but I want your opinion as well. This is supposed to be my cute costume.
Okay, so if the grays in the Heavy Demo Helm don't match those in the Vitasuit Deluxe, would Bombastic be a better choice? Otherwise, what would you have as a helm on the VD? I'd like to use something with it, but if nothing really matched then I won't bother making it. Also, which Demo Helm and relatively cheap accessory color do you think would go best with a Skolver Coat and Red PC?
@Mike
Cobalt.
But out of those, Amber.
@Poke
Me likey. It's all match-match and the PC helps, save for the flower, which actually overkills and brings in a too-bright green, I'd love to see it gone. I've seen thus before though lots, not /exactly/ the same but yeah, so it's not the most special, however it's really neat. Glow eyes would make it ... cuter or something, but are not necessary. If you can spare the money, sure go on.
@Ubernerd
No.
Nothing.
Nothing. Maybe Mad Bomber or Volc Bomber. Not sure.
@Char
Ohi Hadn.
Common outfit, first saw Hadn make it tho. It's neat. Shield and wep help it in last screenshot together with the PC.
If you don't mind being pretty unoriginal, sure go with it.
And where have I been.. let's just say: Skyrim. Re-playing it. 24/7. x_x I'm trying to be more active here again.
I'll come back and read this if/when I can some money :3
I'm -big- on fashion in MMO's.
@Zydrate
I hope you'll stand up to that. ;)
@Verodius
That's a perfectly fine costume, if not for the crest which doesn't match at all. The accs are matchy-matchy, and the PC brings it out nicely. Surprisingly, I haven't seen this all that much. Overall, I like it, yes. Seems like a nice daily outfit. The vitakit has those white places that I was never found of but eh.

I don't have any money but Zydrate says hi anyway.
...Yea, best I can do. However, it's an armor that I don't see everyone and their mother walking around with, so good for my RP concept.
I want to get a barrel belly for it sometime, looks appropriate for the outfit.

I know it's kinda generic, but eh. Also, I was thinking of adding the crest of Winter to the coat.
If the above links don't work...
Valkyrie Helm with Cool glasses and fancy flower.
Skolver coat with Prismatic Valkyrie wings.
Indigo personal color.
D'you really think mismatching never works? I'm personally quite fond of my combination of a Brute Jelly Helm and a Vog Cub Coat - mostly because of the contrast of the bright blue at the top and the bright red at the bottom, but also because of the mingling reds and blues in the coat which I think reconciles the starkness.
http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa458/Biligum/?action=view¤t=s...
http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa458/Biligum/?action=view¤t=s...
I'll bow to your expertise, though.
In any case, I never intended to have that combination; it's just how it worked out and I've been too frugal with my spending to get a suitable costume armor - although I was thinking something along the lines of Chaos Cowl or Arcane Salamander Suit, to complement the Brute Jelly Helm? Thought it might work well with my blue personal color and the overall blue theme, though I've been having trouble finding something that's blue and doesn't have an awkward look to it, either. That's part of what I liked about the Vog Cub Coat - most of the blue armors I've been looking at sort of taper at the neck and make the bulge of the helm look awkward, while the cowl of the coat covers that up. Bombastic Demo Suit looks like the most likely at this point, since it still seems to fulfill the requirements, but I'm still not sure that I like it.
So I guess that's a good question to ask - what do you think of Bombastic Demo Suit/Brute Jelly Helm combo?
http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa458/Biligum/?action=view¤t=B...
(Also, pretty sure I'm too poor to afford accessories as of yet, so I didn't even mention those. Although I guess getting a Bombastic Demo Suit would be a fairly large undertaking in and of itself... hm.)
EDIT: Looking back, Fused Demo Suit looks like it might also work, so... might I offer that up for consideration too, please? Also, thank you in advance for any advice!
http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa458/Biligum/?action=view¤t=f...
@Randomzz
That's actually.. special. :o
Despite the shades being too dark and the color on the parry being off a bit, the way you used your PC and accessories to blend the costume is really nice, so congrats! :3 That's exactly the kind of fashion I appreciate.
@Zydarte
The armor is Regal and the Helmet is Military, and your PC doesn't help it all that much since there's no regal on the helm, BUT, upgrade that armor to 3* and you'll get yourself a really neat costume!
@Yukarin
That's not kinda generic, it's extremely overused. Both pieces are divine n' all... Glasses are nifty but while I see that you're trying to match the flower and wings with your PC, due to different shades they don't quite do it...
And dafax man, why 2 BTBs? XD
@Soarel
Helmet is divine and armor is ... cobalt. They have only one color in common, which is very minor on the helmet. PC doesn't help at all and the Fancy accs only match eachother.
@Biligum
Actually, it CAN work in very special cases. But, not technically. They would rather satisfy one's tastes - like your outfit. :> To be honest, I do not adore it nor do I dislike it personally, despite it being completely wrong technically. In these outfits' case, it's your opinion that matter. ^^ Oh and technically, the PC helps it, it would look worse with let's say- yellow PC.
The bombastic/brute jelly- can't say I'm fond of it because of the 3 extra colors, dusky teal, dusky grey and the brown. I honestly liked the vog one more lol. Fused demo has other extra colors so it isn't any better.
Now, for advice.. I don't support copying at all, but you could try to get some military accs on that helmet. Just like Randomzz did with his Regal ones. Or just stick to your vog outfit if you like, and maybe when you'll be more fortunate, volc accs on the helm. :>
Yeah, that's what I meant by generic. And about the 2 BTBs, uhh.... it's kinda the same reason I have 2 DAs. I liek swords. :P Joking aside, got a better one, hadn't gotten around to selling the first one because why not.
Which part did you say didn't match? The glasses or the flower?
I just wanted to see if you liked any of these costumes.
(Personal color is Green)
-Demo helm 2* with wolver coat (w/ a front accesssory)
-fencing jacket (w/ a front accessory) with valkyrie line helms
-vog with toasty stranger hat
-military spiral sallet with plasma demo suit
-Derp
Yuka, flower was off.
Soarel, first is okay but overused
Rest are a no.
I call it "the fractured fencer" for obvious reasons.
Sorry about the Heavy helm guards, i wanted Dusky but AH didn't have them
Overuseeed... I swear I can find one of these in every haven.
No helm guards truly match it either without PC balancing.
And your PC is as bad as it can get.
Ters, I'd love to have your opinion on a costume I'm currently cobbling together:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9557614/front.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9557614/side.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9557614/back.png
Potentially considering a Regal Canteen instead of the Beast-family Crest.
Well, it's kind of just, y'know, pretty common nowadays. The headband and mecha wings seem okay, but I think you could do without a front acc at all. The PC helps the costume pretty well. It's overall pretty neat, however it's becoming more and more common. vmv
Well, I couldn't part with my flower, so what do you think of the PC change?
http://oi45.tinypic.com/2rctmwo.jpg
And yes, I changed my PC for a costume. It's called dedication >:3
Poke, that's much better. While the flower STILL doesn't fit completely, the PC makes the color difference acceptable and it can stay. While I've seen that costume all over the place since the wild side promo, I must say you've done it pretty well and I can close my eyes to the common-ness, as I like it very much. Good job!
One thing though... according to the other accs, the barrel belly doesn't make much sense- what did you have in mind when you put it though? (as in, how did it make sense to you to put it)
And that's perfectly normal in the fashion world. Though a little sad when you buy the wrong color, twice, and then switch away from the color you intended anyway. x_x /500k or more invested in color changes
