I attempted to do sketch around that them a few time... but just seem to find it "lacking". Maybe its just personal perfernce, but I found the theme not having alot of "impressiveness" as that of European or Asian, atleast in Warrior's armor department.

So interested to see what would the A.net take on it. Also other creative concept armor.

I havn't seen any monks so I though I'd contribute. Personally, I'd like to see some sort of simple "saint" type robe or something. With a few unique twists, ofcourse.

Yeah that monk armor is kick-ass. I never really did like many of the monk armors. To me they just look silly. Just go back and fix the nose...hehe. I'll post another warrior armor set idea. It's a valkyrie/gladiator idea I'm doing as an art comission (my first) so it'll look really nice. I'll just be posting the sketch so...

EDIT: Ok, here it is in all it's sketched-out glory. The actual piece will have ink, color, and a bg.

Hey, thank y'all for your positive coments. I can come up with more designs as this "sketch" only took 8 hours . I'll have to make some time in my schedule to do that though as I'm designing two web sites, trying to find work, attending college in the fall and spring semesters, working on a web comic, finishing the art piece I posted in this thread, getting ready for a week-long competition/convention, and helping my dad fix the damage on the garage as well as paint it...That's a lot of stuff.

Hey, its a great armor idea and a pretty good drawing, but don't let it put a damper on your life. We can wait

Oh, and, Gaile, I want the sword too ^_^

The outfit is much better than 15k Gladiators, in my opinion (though I do see some inspiration from it ). If there is any armor I would change my Glads for, it would be that.

id call it arctic armor or something like that. *Drools*

I would sell my brothers for that armour, but then again that ain't saying much

Nah thats awsome, I love the animal heads that are on it and the general layout of the armour. He looks like a swordmaster or a fencer in heavy armour. He seems so calm and cool and it feels like he could decapitate you at any moment. Good job.

heres a couple sketches i made in the car yesterday.

there are two versions, male and female, of a monk armor, and the upper left one is a simple dress-type female ranger one.

Well they're extremely impressive i'll give you that, but look at these and then look at the factions starter armour. I just dont think they're different enough, more like pimped out versions of current armour sets.
i mean look at the ranger boots, they have the exact same little cone-type thingies on them as the factions starter boots.
Great drawings, but not really anything new.

Great drawings, but not really anything new. are they really that similar? i didnt know anything for the ranger's boots, probably should have said that, but the monk armor isn't anywhere near the current canthan one, methinks. anyways, sorry. its not like i just edited an existing armor.

yes, join us lili, it's fun, you don't need to be any master at drawing...^^

ok, new necro armor...:

:O Very VERY nice Riplox. I love it. If this was implanted into the game it would be the best female warrior armour by far. Loving your idea's too action jack, infact loving everyones ideas. Keep it up

Ok maybe i was a bit harsh earlier about the drawings Silethas did, like i said they were very good and definately beyond my level of ability, i dont want to sound like a hypocrite(sp) after all.
The pictures just immediately struck me as similar, but i see what you mean with the monk armour being difficult to innovate.
Oh and please no quoting pictures, it's pointless and messy.

Too skimpy for monks, assuming they devote their life to religion and therefore chastity and rejecting that whole permiscious (sp?) sort've dress sense / lifestyle.

Personally if you're going to try something with bandages etc. Try play off the monk underwear, that would be a good canvas to have some staff added on.

ok it was about time to make an assassin, i got 3 versions, one without colour normal, without colour with background and in colour.

it's often that drawings looks better without colours.

That monk armour looks like toilet paper and permanent marker, oh im sorry im being rude again.
Um, ok, positive thinking now,you've done well with the assassin armour there, but there really is'nt much scope for creativity with the assassin class, so you deserve a lot of credit for managing to do something with it.
With assassins you've basicly got blue and black, leather, spikes and straps, it's pretty limiting, compared to the amount of variation possible for warriors or elementalists.
However it has just struck me that the monk stuff would be really easy to actually make in RL, thats my next halloween costume sorted then.
