Cycle of the Night Tribute - How to make your Glow Stand Out

Its all about merging the cycle of the night theme into a character. The whole design is more focussed on small details rather than large single-standing impressive parts. The combination of all of those small features keeps the outfit interesting to watch. The colors of the outfit are kept dark with some small colorful and bright highlights. It should compliment the natural beauty of the sylvari-character instead of being overwhelmingly colorful. Edit: Side-Note: This is a mesmer character which is why a light purple was chosen for highlighting. The outfit itself is rather unimpressive - without a sylvari to comfort the cut-outs on the armor that is. That being said, the beauty of sylvari is not only defined by their plantish-growy feel but created by their ability to feature glowy elements. The outfit is taken to compliment glow-patterns at it leaves most of the important parts - where glow-patterns can be placed - uncovered. The arm-covering of the vestment also goes along with the growth-pattern of the sylvari. Overall lots of sylvaris distinctive features are visible. The chrono-shoulders also feature some glow which is awesome as an additional highlight. The weapons are used as an additional eye-catcher. The off-hands feature some glow-effects that go along with the theme of the outfit. Swords are chosen to be less of an eye-catcher but to feature a rapier-based outlook, that compliments the other off-hands while also keeping the focus on them and not the mere sword. Edit: Note that the lines from the armor and the weapons align in flow direction (as does the leg armor with the back-pattern).
