So who here submitted to the Tank design contest?

[Recaldy]

Here's hoping the finalists didn't include skirts/dresses. <_<+

I hope at least some of the people who wanted to make those didn't because it has to be able to be worn by all genders / races, and they would have had to make a different version for males (because let's be honest SE is not gonna give us any dresses for males), and have done a design that still looks good on lalas... Can't really fit the popotos in a normal pretty dress.

I did enter and to be fair, the process of creating the design itself was super exciting and rewarding (especially when you finished after spending hours editing that one part that never really looked good /snap).
Looking forward to interesting and unique designs that fit both male and female alike.
I do hope they'll release it soon-ish, so excited to see the entries, cause I do play on my tanks quite often.

(The amount of restarting because I had so many new concepts in my mind...)

Truth! Took the words out of my mouth, the experience was super rewarding. My tank design is all designed with male models, but I hope SE sees that it can b worn by females...too /fear.

I'm just hoping people remembered to fit for Au Ra and Miqo'te tails like SE did that one time 2 years ago and then promptly never bothered with again.

I used a male model as well (got a template from the FFXIV artbook I had, was quite convenient for proportions etc!). It looked gender neutral to me although the devs can always adjust the shape a little if you used a flat chest-plate or something to fit the female shape.
My drawing skills aren't all that great so it was quite difficult to make the entry. I'm really itching to share with my friends but alas we can't yet...

Aw man, I knew I forgot something! No problems at the headpiece as it's some sort of a circlet but the pants are... I don't even know how the current gear deals with coats in this game - straight up clipping through?

Once the contest winners are decided, I hope some of the artists will post their screenshots. I'm curious to see what people came up with as a whole.

Pretty much everything just has tails clipping through, the last set I can remember SE accommodating races with tails properly was the old i90 BCoB models.

Actually they are starting the process of making all outfits available for each gender. It was in the 3.3 patch notes.
