Having Some Difficulty With Tank Armor Design Contest

[Chiramu]

Some tabard plates minus the low collar would be fantastic. The Valarian Dragoon mail is a god send for me when I dps.

I really wanted something like this as my entry but I didn't want it to come close to plagiarism .


The Crusader from D3 has such awesome PLD armour ^^.

Please don't copy this, but seriously, this is beautiful armor that still maintains it's function as defensive gear. I'm not sure how to make a masculine version, but I LOVE this.

Just an idea as something I'd like to wear as a female that's feminine but not "Chainmail Bikini."

Here's another one (again, please don't rip this off, just an example to get your creative juices flowing)

This is literally what I had in mind, things like this. xD

Eh, I'm kinda sad that even with these suggestions as big, bulky tank armor still doesn't seem favorable. "Tin can" armor like the wolfram cuirass and heavy allagan armor is my preferred sort of armor anyways and I really wish we'd get stuff that was available all class in that sorta vein for glamour purposes. The game already has a million "Here's some cloth or "metal" armor that hugs your character's model with some bulky pauldrons and random metal bits on it"but I guess I should already expect the top 5 to be the same sorta stuff or worse :\

Thanks for the tips everyone! I promise I will not rip anyone off, MaeIsMean.

Personally, I am leaning toward a true tanky armor and not some chainmail bikini-ish armor. Anyways, good luck to all the contest participants! I can't wait to see what we all come up with! Please let Square Enix show them all!

I had a mind to enter, perhaps i still will. However i have no talent for art and my time schedule leaves me very busy for the next few weeks, even so it can't hurt to also throw in some weapon designs with the armor for all Tanks to complement the set. What follows are just a few ideas i have as to what i would like to see in game.

I have always loved the knightly look when it comes to armor, and the idea of cloth/ robe over plate is a favorite of mine.


As is the armored coat.


For the sake of diversity i would like to see more savage looking armor sets, even if it means some that would show more skin for both genders.(sans ridiculous pauldrons... )



Good luck to all who enter.

^ My taste of tank's armor is 3rd and 4th, but I think it's only suit well on WAR.

A lot of those pictures scream non-tank to me.

I would love to see something inspired by Faust/Hummelfaust made into tank armor, I'd submit one myself but I am the kind of a person who can make stick figures look bad.
