About
 
Yo, I'm Melanie and I'm majoring in "Digital Culture - Arts" which pretty much means I'm learning how to force art 
and technology together to create media, and while the degree encourages interactive media, I lean towards 3D 
models, animations and integrating my works into "video games". While I am a complete amateur, I'm always looking
to work myself into a challenge and produce content.While I don't really matter, I do want to throw myself out here 
and say that if you have an idea and you want to see it here in this thread, then feel free to contact me! I'm working 
on painting up some concepts as well as modeling a couple, and I want this thread to not be "Melanie wants this!"
but rather "The community would like to see more of this..."

The Want
 
As a female, when I play this game I find that I'm shoehorned into several niche outfits. Some people are content with
the options provided and do make wonderful costumes, the casual inside of me would appreciate being able to be a
"bad-ass *cupcake* who roughs'em'up in my dainty lil' dress. You really cant have a map full of exiles and not expect to
see a jerry-rigged crinoline, can you? I'm not asking for long skirts that'd trip up even the most agile of combatants;
I'm asking for more variety and maybe some more feminine designs. Heck, more "basics" would be nice! Over the
course of this thread, so long as schooling doesn't get in the way, I'd like to take time to model, draft, paint, and create
new ideas that I'd like to see, and what my friends would like to see.PS: Why do all of the models have disconnect vertices? 
 
Currently, the things I feel we could use more of;
Skirts / Skorts Sweaters
T-Shirts
TurtlenecksBasic Boots
*Civilian Clothing*The Designs:
Will be updating with a minimum of one-a-day until the shipment of casual civilian 
clothing arrives.
Perspective
Side (X-RAY)Lace up boots, hand stitched from the finest Roan leather; while a simple craft,
the rubber soles and large stitches allow each owner to feel like the boots are made solely for them.Yes, even Princess can be a bad-ass *cupcake* with these on.
 
In Progress: The Flower Speaker (?) --Want to rename this? Shoot me a PM!--
Front
Inspired by the Aurin's adoration for nature and following the footsteps of mother nature, thise piece displays your inner femininity and lets everyone know that you're a dirty clean and virtuous tree hugger.
Side boob 100% intended.
 
Draft: Cardigan + Blouse
 
Ideas;
Sho-ho-ho-how-Down Shoot'em- Christmas Holiday themed clothing. Includes cruddy sweaters knit from rowsdower wool, featuring the red-nosed rowsdowner.  Several typical attired and snow-touched pieces.

			Very nice boots design :) !

I want some more sexy style outfits.
Torine Armor please.
 
 
I'm actually vastly disappointed at the serious lack of interesting outfit choices in this game.
WildStar has by far some of the most boring armor design I've seen in any MMO.
 
Skirts, Thigh highs, leotards, Shorts(For male characters), ect.

Quite a lovely design and tasteful artstyles in your tumblr as well. Me likes!
 
I have thought (and doodled) on many things I would love to see as well while waiting for the right time to post them. My thoughts are mostly on how they could emulate robe designs and long scarves. :)
Perhaps they should create an 'official open thread for outfit suggestions' when they would be ready to receive costume feedback. There have also been many good player requests in the past.

Wow! Amazing designs so far!! I know Tumblr is a great place to post such artwork, and perhaps Twitter as well! Get your name out there! 
You definitely have a lot of potential! Can't wait to see more! :)

			Yes, please, I totally want more femenine outfits. While I find really nice that in this game the armor are not that sexist I would like to have the option to wear a skirt!!

While I intend to make skirts / skorts (depending on how much we have to avoid undergarments) Id hope they get implemented for both genders, because sometimes a man in a skirt is what everyone wants to see.

12/19;Working on Flower-Speaker (?) Set;Inspired by the Aurin's fascination with nature, and nature's trope of being feminine in style comes the attired for those most in-tune with their tree hugging side.The chest piece features metal bangles which hold the cloth in place; an intertwining neck piece showing the infinite bind of nature, with an eyelete neckline. The front piece of cloth drapes over breasts, and is held firmly in place by the metal band around the waist. The back is completely empty (leaving possible room for tattoos/markings to be inserted into the design?) Where the waist golden band begins, another drape of cloth begins, covering the buttocks from the gaze of beasts. Both draping cloths are intended to follow current cloth physics, and the back piece of cloth can be removed if the shorts are "decent" enough.
 
Pants will feature bindings.

I absolutely adore the Flower Speaker piece.  I would wear that with the lower option hidden.  Now all it needs (just my opinion) is a circlet of leaves, Bloodbriar for guys.  It has a nice flow to it, and it gives off the feel of a royal consort.  Fanning the Matria and feeding her fruits.  
 
Your designs definitely have my support for whatever it is worth.  I wish I could enjoy the nice open back, but you know...#Esper Problems.

I'd love plain shoes (NOT BOOTS). Mid-length skirts. Tank tops. High heels (especially for my mechari!). Jeans. Dresses that completely cover the pants.
 
Just for a few thoughts.

			For those who are following this thread I wanted to mention, on behalf of Melanie, that during the holiday season she might not be able to update everyday. She's quite busy with family and some other stuff. That being said, she might upload some designs if she has free time or choose to upload them all after the holidays have ended. All I know is that in her free time she's still working on them. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays!

Loving the look of the Flower Speaker armor so far :D

Yep, going out of town over the holidays which means leaving my rig back at my apartment while I lug around a craptop. Between now and the 3rd, I'll be trying to upload every other day with 2-3 designs (so still will have the same number as if I had done one a day) 
 
I dont even know if my cabins going to have internet.
Hope everyone enjoys their holidays!
