I'm a girl as well, at that.. Our sex is entirely irrelevent here, especially for armor designs. If anything my designs are no more revealing than current armors in game, so if those offend you/other people(s) as well, then I don't really see that as my problem. (As I shouldn't - cause it isn't.)

Lawnmower those armors are from other game and TV show characters. I dont think they will ever make it into GW.

A brain fart I just had (it's 1:30am lol): I think a cool theme to try out would be Aeon armour. My inspiration came from Final Fantasy 10 after I thought about the Aeons and how their looks could be converted into very nice styles of armour, in particular Bahamut, because of the details and style of him. If anything, the concept name sounds good. Could someone maybe try this out and post some results? It's interesting idea I think.
Good work everyone by the way, some AMAZING works in here, keep up the great work!

Ok, I realize that everyone has been knocking your designs a bunch due to the skimpyness of some of the garments, but haven't really been giving you any suggestions on what might be more generally acceptable. Since few other people appear to be giving much advice on the matter, I'd like to make a few suggestions so please don't take offense.
In general, all the current revealing armor types (scar pattern, tatoo, 15k bonelace, 15k druids, 15k gladiators, etc.) seem to share at least three things in common. First, all these armor types seem to cover all the areas that a normal bikini would, for the most part. Second, none of these "critical" areas have any transparency. Third, all of these areas are covered by a garment guaranteed to stay in place (even 15k druids armor has a diaper-like thing under the loincloth).
Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go over some more specific suggestions relating to your two most talked about submissions:
Just two adjustments to the leggings would most likely make this more acceptable to the general public:
1 - Increase the width of the loincloth by about 3 or 4 times.
2 - Add some sort of solid-state garment under the loincloth so that it doesn't appear a light breeze could come by and allow the entire party to bask in all her glory.
This is the one that I think most people are concerned with. Again, just two alterations would most likely move this into higher favor:
1 - On the chest piece, expand the opaque nodes to cover at least the nipples (allready taken care of) and below on each breast.
2 - On the leggings, expand the center piece to cover the entire groin reigon and not just the "goodies".
I realize that what is acceptable is a highly subjective matter, but when creating concepts that may be exposed to the masses in a commercial product, it is best to err on the slightly more conservative side. Don't get me wrong, though, they are good concepts. With just a little revision, I wouldn't be supprised to come across these or something like them in Nightfall and future chapters.
Best of luck and keep up the good work.

I can see a whole new line of Smiting spells just to match that skin.
Martian
Impressive how you matched it so accurately to the screeny :d
I think it would be great if the leggings were made of the same material as the bit at the waste, rather than that reddish leather.

*revives thread* (woohoo)
I've got 2 more armours, one coloured, the other not.
^Can't colour this due to the lines. Don't ask about the lines... <_< >_> Anyways, posible armour for the assassin, or a new profession alltogether, hence why the lance is there. It's a cool sexyful lance. That you can poke people that you don't like with.
^Cute little paragon chibi with armour that has WINGS! Look, it's *soo* cute!
Also, I have a design for necro following AJ's "Cactus" theme, but it's still in my room somewhere. I inked it about an hour ago, and now it's dissappeared... I blame the gremlins.

EDIT: I'm also re-submitting this one, because I think it died. :O

Finally finished this =] Worked on it for over 3 hours.
I call it Bonebender's Armor. It's for necromancers... obviously this is the female version ;D I may do the male version later if I'm not too lazy.
Red parts would be dyable.

I'm sure that there are ton of these on here, Stargate type of things for armor. This is my idea for some new NightFall type armors, since that area is inspired by middle eastern and african cultures. Yup. I tried to have a solid egyptian type design while showing off as much skin as possible. Mission failed
Not as skimpy as i wanted but still a solid simple design. Maybe next time i'll make the bust bigger :P yeah I'll use a rit for a model next time. LOL! I imagine this armor would be most likely used by a mesmer. It's similair to the white mantle Savants I think that's what they are called. The elemental heat girls. I like Anubus, he's my favorite mythical god. I hope you all enjoy this,
FTW!
AJ, your Rit designs above remind me of hsen-ko from darkstalkers. where are her blades, retractible mallets, spiked balls, and panda bears LOL keep up the good work team!

Red parts would be dyable. NEAT! it looks like a cross between Rit, Mes, and and skulls added just to keep it nerco. I like how she has that "I'm a big bad ass babe" look on her face as she brushes her hair.
BOOM! headshot!

I'm liking the idea of a sort of Viking theme.... maybe a bit Celtish to? I have a vage idea for a new Woad body-paint tatto/scar armour.... i'll have a crack at drawing it later...

I bet ya anythin, if there is a 4th chapter, it'll be celtic/nordic.

Thats pretty much all thats left O.o I'm willing to bet it will be an Aztec theme. Maybe a lost city of Atlantis like deal.
I'm also willing to bet that there own't be new proffesions in it.

I Find that Most ritualist's armour looks pretty much the same, a bit of innovation like this would certainly be welcome.

Ok, here's another Idea, how about chainsaws like in evil dead and pet upgrade, like a cyber chaingun!!! BOOM HEADSHOT!
i know it's silly, but still it would be pretty cool. And don't tell me "There's no technology like that in guild wars" Look at the murssat and the summit drawves, they use technology. I mean we can animate the DEAD! it's not so far fetched that we can't chop'em up with chainsaws and shot em up with chainguns! HA HA!
how about this: it's powered by magic!

heres a rough sketch of a monk idea i had.
-=Yuki=-
It began as a doodle on an empty sheet, I was bored and startet drawing just to pass time waiting for anything to happen. As I finished it, the pic just had to share the destiny of all my drawings: It got lost in the dark endless abyss of my chaotic room. But I somehow found it several weeks ago, realising it wasn't that bad at all and scanned it. Again it was forgotten, until today, when I tried coloring something digital not using MS Paint for the first time. So please, don't cut off my head. Criticism is welcome though.

Another old concept doodle, another new coloured version. This time for my favorite class. Changed it a bit, obviously. Material would be some kind of light and thin cloth, maybe tulle or silk or something. Still making my first experiences with colouring, yet I'm not satisfied with how it turned out to be, but after 2 1/2 hours I was sort of fed up and it only got worse. Still need to practice on shading. Oh, and ignore the hairdoo, I'm afraid there will never be a monk having that long, full hair.

Yuki, i like the coloring on that monk armour, came out great, if i had a scanner i'd post tatoos i drew for my necro when i was drawing her profile last night, also, to be honest that kind of looks like ele armour yuki, but thats just my opinion
