Armor Concepts and history

[Aetherius]

I would prefer the Ka Po' as Indian, I always associate tigers with India, maybe because the Royal Bengal Tiger is the National animal of India.

And I also would think Chinese is more fitting for the Tang Mo because they seem more quick and agile, suiting them for chinese fighting styles more so than the large, ferocious warriors that the Ka Po' are.

EDIT: i forgot to quote Mortazo (oops).

No.
Tang Mo is all islands (like the official lore says), it's nothing like the geography of India with the Himalaya mountain range to the North of it.
And do not forget we have four different cultures on Tang Mo, not one.

EDIT AGAIN: Aetherius, that's what i was thinking too... ofcourse there are geographical reasons too, and many more reasons.

But anyway, we chose to go with Ka'Po = like India, we decided this a very long time ago and we will not change this.

Thanks for the backup Aetherius, i'm happy to know some people agree with Ka'Po = like India =)

[Aetherius]

Thanks for the thanks Kodama =)

I was wondering if we are actually gonna use a cuirass like the one pictured above for the Ka Po' (I really like that picture )

[Kodama]

Hell yeah :yes: if possible we will have that armor.
But, we may have to retexture something if we can't get a model for this.
If we do need to have something retextured to look like this armor, would you like to do it?

[Aetherius]

Yeah, I'd be more than happy to do it! :banana:

If we can't get a new model for it though, perhaps we could use the blades armor for the model?

[Kodama]

I don't think the blades armor has a suitable shape, but hey, that's why it would be best if we got an armor model that looks just like the picture.

I would like to know what Corthian thinks would be an easy way to get an armor to look like the armor in the picture, like does it really need a new model?

[Corthian]

That Ka po'tun armor at the top of the thread would best be a reskin of the leather thief armor.

I have a little WIP Here is the Pic

:applause: :applause: :applause:

You rule Corthian :goodjob:

I did not expect the textures to turn out that well... but it looks amazing =)
I like the bagg slung over the the shoulder, it's a nice detail.

Would it be possible to add some pauldrons to the armor? Pauldrons like on these pictures: LINK

EDIT: The Blades shield is a type of shield from India, it would be nice if it was retextured to fit this wonderfull new armor =)

[Corthian]

I could put pauldrons on it but, The decision to not make pauldrons was a aesthetic choice. All of the pictures I have seen of the of this type of armor didn't have pauldrons.

Right now I am not entirely happy with the Armor.

[Kodama]

I was thinking the same thing about the armor, it's true they don't have any... but i think it would look good.

So what are you not happy about then? Do you think you can get a better result?
