I'm kind of bummed. I thought this was a pretty good entry considering I don't enter these things very often. :( Ah well.

I completely agree. Has that whole "channel the inner beast" aesthetic thing going on.

Thank you very much! I felt like we needed more pelts/skins in the game, as well as tattoos and daggers.

If we ever got chemist as a class, I'd wear this for sure! Very fluid-looking and very unique! I like it a lot!

The Designs aren't bad, but I feel they are all too samey, in comparison to what we have in the game already. Then again, the Tank and Caster gear were samey too. Only the Healer gear felt unique. Sadly it didn't translate well for males, but still it was different from what we usually get. I'll post mine once I get home, sadly work calls; boo.....

I love all the design who where selected this time, it will be hard for them to choose.

Also I was lucky, I got my mch/bard design selected this time.

But here is the other one I did who didn't pass the selection:

Oh boy, a thread for me!!

Passerine Set of Aiming

The theme I went for was a fairy tale-esque aesthetic, with some ballet influence thrown in (i.e. Swan Lake). I wanted light armor that was also slimming, so as to not bulk down the design. Coming from a ranged perspective, I appreciate the jumping we get as MCH and BRD, so I wanted a design with a trailing back that emphasizes our movements. A passerine is typically a type of perching bird, so it seemed fitting as ranged DPS that typically snipe from a set position that we also have a gear set that plays into it. \o/

I assume we'll probably have more contests come 5.0 so I definitely wanna try again. ;u;

Thanks! I wanted to make something that was more "cool" than cutesy and something that could translate well between male and female genders for players. I didn't want to make something where melee guys have to wear frills and stuff or look too overly feminine if they didn't want to.

I was trying to go for a chemical and desert/grease monkey sort of feel.

Here's my entry that didn't make the cut:; congratulations to those that made it. There are a lot of good finalists, I just hope SE makes the right choice :>

I tried my best. It was fun drawing, but I still need to learn how to properly layout the design though...

So mine was actually for BRD. I have entered in all previous contests too and never got picked but I have improved my designs each time. This does look like it's outside of FF but I kind of wanted that old bard performer look. Probably if I haven't been selfish and used my favorite color and a different scheme who knows hehe...

There were some entries that I don't understand how they got picked, but then the rest are beautiful and I hope some do win. Lots of entries I wouldn't mind wearing :)

Also the designs here look great too, hope it goes better for all of us next time! (whenever that'l be since all the classes got contests now)

Okay, finally had the chance to post mine. Tried going for a Ronin archer feel.

I know I'm late to the party, but I figured it was never too late to share my entry for the contest. My entry was for the ranged DPS (feels kinda obvious to me from the design :p). I admit I designed my entry with BRD in mind, but that was mainly because nothing really stood out to me when it comes to MCH design-wise. I was aiming for a bit of a steampunk-ish style, but I don't know if that came through properly. To be honest, I just wanted a short skirt and a chest piece that wasn't long like the ones we almost always get (T_T).

It's really a shame that Kugishi's entry didn't win as it was my absolute favorite among the finalists, but the winning design is also good :)
