DronzTheWolf Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Is it a lizard clothes thread that is big, or a clothes thread for big lizards? You decide. I've created this suggestion thread to suggest a few ideas I've had for Unathi clothing, to expand the lizard fandom's fashion so we can rival the cats for loadout bloat. The names are work-in-progress. Let's sing the Bard' song, in the wasteland. First off, goggles. To keep sand out of your delicate lizard eyes.Wastelander GogglesA pair of old goggles common in the wasteland. Often worn by sailors and fishermen on the sea to keep saltwater out of their eyes before the war, now they take on new life to keep sand out of the eyes. Next, the kilt:Wasteland KiltA long tunic made of old banners and other available materials, it acts as a kilt for the poorest or most free-spirited of wastelanders, who aren't afraid to let the sun and sand strike their scales. This will be color-selectable and finally, an old favorite resurrected. I suggest we change the Roughspun Robeto be color-selectable Now for the Izweski, in which Not'zar is best boy and you can't convince me otherwise. First, the surcoat-tabard-thing. This will function as both a coat and an accessory, like a poncho. Ghaz'akThe Ghaz'ak is common among levies and warriors alike, displaying the colors of the ruling body that they fight for. While it's main use it to keep the sun's glare off of armor, particularly patriotic sinta have taken to wearing it outside of combat. Taking up the hat slot, another that'd be popular in the wasteland and the Izweski's keeps:Clan HoodA hood worn commonly by travelers, explorers, and levies. It's main purpose is to block the glare of sun when traveling, and to represent their clan. Often they have the names sewn into the inside to help identify the owner should it, or the owner, be lost. This will be color-selectable And an honorable mention that I don't think will be added:Traditionalist armorPolished steel armor commonly worn by traditionalist sinta and others who do not conform to Izweski's rule, it's not very good against ballistics. However, it's strong construction makes it great against melee, and it's mirror sheen makes it ever so slightly protect against light-based lasers. I will make .dmi files of these if/when they are chosen to be included. For now, they exist in soul. Not yet given physical form.
Carver Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Looks cool. Not much else to say, these are fairly nice sprites - my only critique is that the polished steel armour looks a bit more plastic than metal.
KingOfThePing Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Still fucking nice, someone with a big coding brain put these in boys

geeves Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/10389 This PR includes everything except the Ghaz'ak and the Traditionalist Armor.
Butterrobber202 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Traditionalist Armor would be a fucking BOP for Traitor Unathi
Haydizzle Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 These all look pretty good on the PR. I added some feedback for the names and descriptions on them to be changed on said PR, but otherwise most of the garments look great and I would definitely use them on station. The only one I've a problem with is the ghazak. As it stands, the design is literally the flag, and as a result it looks somewhat tacky. I'm opposed to this being added in its current iteration. A better implementation in my eyes would be a striped shoulder pauldron or cape would work well for adding the colors of the Izweski without it being a tackier centerpiece. This could double in function like being the Dominian cape as well, so that it can be draped over the top of any garment you want to put in the shirt slot. The goggles, kilt, and hood are all fantastically done and I eagerly await seeing them in the loadout!

Peasent Levies would wear something similiar to the ghazak into battle to display their noble lord's flag. It was called a tabard.

They're supposed to have modern levels of technology, at least in the cities. Rural places aren't up to par with urban areas, but they definitely aren't medieval still. I'm trying to curb the "medieval peasant" idea in favor something a bit more unique.

I'm trying to curb the "medieval peasant" idea in favor something a bit more unique. Feudal clothing will be tacky and gaudy, as is the nature of feudalism. Everyone wants to represent their nation/their lord and in doing so they'll stick out like a sore thumb. However, I agree that it is a bit too much to just make it the Izweski nation colors outright. One of my major complaints about the Izweski is that they lack the bright colors and intricate patterns that came with feudalism in lieu for Call of Duty style mid-2000s video game brown over brown with a newer, blander shade of brown.
