Tersakoff's guide to creating a successful outfit and general fashion talk. Offering critiques.
I'm ugly, aren't I? ;_; your "..." said it all. /e see's himself out
Alright, I'll bite. Especially since I waited a good while to get every piece I wanted at an affordable price (READ: 125k or lower per piece), I hope some of you here enjoy this.
The top three are a few shots of my main 2 costumes. The bottom one is just an auxiliary I used to use before I finished my 'official' set. The only thing I'd really change is getting a matching Scarf for the Sonic CD costume.
Your thoughts?
I've noticed this guide some time ago, but because I don't care that much about costumes (but still more then Shoebox) I've decided to check it out when 8th page popped up ;-)
So overall nice guide really. I was pretty surprised to see a Grey Feather Cowl + Sunset Duster combo there, because that was my first costume in SK (long before accessories were introduced and conquered Haven).
Anyway, just out of curiosity, what's your opinion about the costumes I'm sporting at the moment:
Costume 1
Accessories in this costume were randomly found in the lockboxes, so this is not a planned costume actually but something that I made with resources I've already got "on stock". Only regal Valkyrie Wings were traded for the fancy ones I got with promo.
Costume 2
Accessories in this costume were purposely purchased in AH, so this is planned costume. I wanted to make a plump character and I think demo suit and stranger hat combo has that rotundity I was looking for.
I never though about shields and weapons as part of the costume so I've just grab something most suitable from my arsenal for the purpose of this thread. I don't have Fearless Rigadoon just yet (screenshots with it were made in HoH), but that will be probably next sword I'm going to go for.
I usually don't ask people for what they think about my costumes. Most of my stuff is pretty generic, but I rather do enjoy this one.
Nothing special, just wanted to see what you think of it Tersakaff. Good or bad I probably won't really care since I've heard things going both ways from other random players in Haven. It is still a rather generic setup but like I've mentioned above I love it since it was my first full costume set.

Overall that costume is pretty good. It looks like it was planned out well, because everything seems to match well. The only thing I see wrong at all is the green on the Dusky Parrying Blade doesn't really match anything else. I would suggest getting a Fancy Parrying Blade, because it fits better with your color scheme.
I agree with the fancy parrying blade, I had one long ago from the parrying blade promo but meh it is long gone now. Not really interested in buying a new one right now.
I understand you completely. I have a Fancy Parrying Blade attached to my Vog Cub Coat because I haven't felt the need to get a Volcanic or even a Toasty
@Gnome
First, I've seen this costume a lot. It's fine really....except one thing. The helmet has almost 0 of the light yellow of the coat. The rest is fine really, I like how you matched it with a Cautery sword, lol.
Your PC seems to complement it well, too.
@Sonicmega
The sonic one is just no.. let's go to the cobalt one. The cobalt helmet does have some coordinating colors with the skolver armor, but there's still some that you haven't covered. For once, your PC is too dark, Cobalt would work better. And then there's your vents, the dusky doesn't really match. So what I suggest is getting divine vertical vents, or if you can't afford, cool ones but then you'd still need to find a divine item with the tan color. Switching to military accs with viridan PC is out of question because of the blue bit on the helmet when viewed from front.
Oh also the feather. Ditch it.
@Merethif
The first is just an accessorized proto set, really. Not the best PC for it either. The accs themseves don't make much sense too and to put it simply, the visor is ugly. Things I like are the matching of the fancy maedate with the dark blue on the armor.
The second one is better, everything is military-themed, the two pieces match shape-wise, the accessories make sense (fat stranger?? lol) and the weapons and armor match. The only think I don't like is the brown on top the stranger hat but there's some brown to compensate on the armor. Still not quite there tho.
"Page 8!!! We got more than Mawa's thread"
In 2 months less. :P Talk about actual knowledge and useful-ness??
@Wodanct
TOUPEE ON SNARBOLAX CAAAAAAP
Jokes aside, the toupee...surpsingly matches your PC color, but the parry just, no. Snarbolax is not dusky.
I guess it's a fine look if you don't care that you're being an average joe?? Plus... TOUPEE ON SNARBY. ;_;
"Fancy Parrying Blade, because it fits better with your color scheme."
Let me just e-punch you in the nuts. Snarbolax is shadow-themed. Not fancy. Never. Ever.
"I understand you completely. I have a Fancy Parrying Blade attached to my Vog Cub Coat because I haven't felt the need to get a Volcanic or even a Toasty"
Let me e-punch you again. Vog is volcanic.
@Spookidemi
Well yet again, accessorized proto.. But uhm, your PC doesn't work all that well with it, the costume itself doesn't really fit your name (just something I pointed out), the love aura and barrel belly just contradict and the ribbon is oddly colored. Doesn't really match the brown on the pockets, it's a little off-hue and too saturated. And the white on the vita...
Thanks for the feedback. If by the yellow you mean the fur, that's why i chose regal glasses, I feel it matches enough. Although i with the scratches on the helmet were yellow-er...
I know that Snarby isn't fancy themed, but I was thinking that because OOO hasn't mainstreamed Shadow themed accessories YET(just hoping so maybe I'll eventually accessorize a Snarby coat) that Fancy themed items are the closest match to Snarby, though the pink on it stands out. Also, I know Toasty doesn't match Vog, I'm just tight on money, and I know that many people held out on bidding on the last Volcanic Parrying Blade because almost everyone knew how much Xair wanted hers.
And another thing, Oww!!!!
Since when does fashion involve punching?
You're an e-bully.
Gnome, the glasses are absolutely unnoticeable and the scratches are way too few compared to the fur.
"You're an e-bully."
Crey. :(
My prismatic toupee is the best evar :V ok well maybe Tentaspy's can be cooler since she is the guild master >.>
Side note, I expected a reply like that Tersakaff :p
Now I need a costume idea that involves Arcane Halo, Dusky Round Shades, and Crest of Winter >.> Being an average joe is fine, but I prefer to be different so hence the prismatic toupee on snarby instead of another slime helm. I do not usually like to be noticed.. along side that I shove most of my crowns into UV rolling for lulz.. Thats why I have this VH ASI/VH CTR Voltedge >.>
"Side note, I expected a reply like that Tersakaff :p"
Means you know I dislike money on sets. :)
"hence the prismatic toupee on snarby"
That's a bad kind of different. D:
Well, do you want me to make one or what, just flaunting? :u
Any ideas would be nice. And "money" on sets? How much do you think that cost me? parrying blades were free, shadow wings were indeed 1.2m... got those at the promo, and the prismatic toupee was a lol 300k :/. And yes, any ideas for a set with Arcane Halo, Dusky Round Shades, and Crest of Winter would be cool. Been trying to think of some with my friend but haven't really found much.
Its each to their own, some of my friends love the toupee on my snarby cap. "Sir Snarblebottom" I've been called by one.. ex-friend. (don't ask) >.>
Put those things on a Wyvern Scale Helm and an Angelic Raiment with a Sky PC
1.Find the perfect helm for you,get the perfect acessories of your likes
2.Add wolver coat
TARA!You just made an awesome costume!
Sorry Wodanct I don't just spew out costumes if you give me a few accs.
I'm taking a hiatus/ quitting SK soon/probably (I'm not really sure) so I won't really keep this updated or reply any further. If I do decide on quitting I'll graveyard it. Nothing is sure now as I want to find a better game before that to invest my time in. Or just another hobby besides drawing to eat my time away really. :/
It's not because of the game- not at all- I love it. It's because of a certain part of the community OOO is showing huge bias towards, and certain actions that part of the community takes. I think that's unacceptable in a launched MMO of this size.
I thought I should announce this here so people won't wonder why am I not replying as I used to.
Anybody know a relatively new game (I want to start new in a game starting new) that comes even close to how great SK is?
It's a bummer that you feel that leaving is necessary. OOO wasn't showing us bias, our actions just weren't as heinous as you have taken them to be. I'm sorry you feel the way you do and enjoy whatever game/hobby you pursue next.
Darn, kinda sucks that you're leaving. Hope you have a great time in the next game you decide to play.
Can't you just edit that you aren't doing critics anymore?
Heck, maybe even post the guide to the wiki?
So the advanced guide never came? D:
:3 have a gd time in ur new game
"OOO wasn't showing us bias"
To each their own.
"Hope you have a great time in the next game you decide to play."
I might not make such a big investment in a another game.
"Can't you just edit that you aren't doing critics anymore?
Heck, maybe even post the guide to the wiki?"
It's on wiki in its first version. Subsection of my userpage though. Never gonna be a regular guide like the swordsman ones and stuff. Because no.
I don't wish for it to be available anymore if I am not. Call me egotistical but I just don't want that.
"So the advanced guide never came? D:"
No. Never.
My leave isn't 100% set in stone. It depends on future actions from OOO if I come back or not. Only one thing is certain: I don't have respect for OOO anymore (I was a die-hard supporter) nor will I invest money in the game anymore unless some SUPER AWESOME PROMO comes out which is nearly impossible. I mean hey the game is still awesome and I still like my character, lol.
/shrugs
I wasn't seriously looking for costume ideas anyway, just keeping your tread afloat. I'll think of something eventually for a costume with my friend's gifts on it. On another note, if more people would quit because of things they didn't like maybe Three Rings would get the hint.. I'll eventually take a break again someday myself but right now I'm being that haunting spirit that lurks the forums and clockworks. Good luck with whatever you do.
Once again I am not fully quitting just lowering activity a lot. This is now mainly because, there really isn't much to do or keep me here so, let's hope for a revolutionary update haha??
And okay Wodanct, I see.
Well they probably won't. /shrug
It seems we have a job to do. We, the people of this thread, need to become the Spiral Knights Fashion Police. This is how we will keep the community together and fashionable with Ters gone
I'll be watching this thread as well, as long as I'm allowed ;)
Can someone help me finish this? Let me know if there's something else i can add to this http://s776.photobucket.com/albums/yy41/Darkletrick/?action=view¤t...
I personally dislike the barrel on it, I think it doesn't make much sense, but besides that..
It looks fine as-is actually! I like your PC with it, too.
And if anybody were to try and take up my role and do something that I've always highly disliked and always told people not to do, while I'm still checking this thread daily, it'll have an early graveyard. :/
I'm not gone, not yet, and still tend to this thread. When I will be completely gone, I'll announce it. As I said before, I am not 100% sure on it so it may not even happen and I may just end up with a very low activity that's all. I used to invest a HUGE amount of time, money, and effort into this game and now that's reduced to almost 0.
Nuuuuu dont leave Tersa D:
Your costume guiding have helped a lot of people and it will continue to <3
I like Keyboard's costume. It has nice balance, plus red personal color has a nice effect.
ters if ye go there will be no kitties when ye play a newer game than sk
come back to us we have kitties
right enc
right dancingjenny
right everyone
i dunno
i might
i mean,
im not mad anymore but
those days i took off sk
just kinda threw me into a hiatus
so i will come back pretty active again someday i guess??
for now i just log on a lil to craft my mist or chit chat
and sometimes check the forums
thank you for the support & love guys <3
wont let the thread die regardless, now
Hm... Did someone ask for game suggestions? If you got 60 bucks to burn, you may want to consider preordering Borderlands 2. You might end up dropping less money into that than any F2P game depending on how much money you spend on F2P games.
Nope, not really interested in Borderlands. Not much of a shooter person.
Torchlight 2 on the other side... prepare for another hiatus by the time it launches.
I have DotA 2, L4D2, TF2 Premium, Serious Sam : The Second Encounter(do want SS3), Portal..
That's it I guess. These are the games I suppose worth playing and never want others, unless my wishlist has what I want. owO
I play well on Left 4 Dead 2 and TF2(maybe). :3
I want to punch you, not-me. :(
And I dunno why did you list these am I missing something/ being dumb??
/shrugs
I don't know what am I doing either.
Probably just for ye, to tell that I don't get sick playing all over again with these games. owO
(uh.. probably... I should stop talking about this)
...
Okay... we go to Lightyourfire's plan.
