TOPIC | Make Apparel Tundra Friendly
1 2
If you love Tundra like I do you will understand the pain of dressing them when near everything misfits on their mane or legs. Examples- On Tundra male his mane is obviously outside the apparel line [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ay3QInx.png[/img] On Mirror it gives full coverage [img]http://i.imgur.com/xKkqUfL.png[/img] They look glued on the legs [img]http://i.imgur.com/iOlJq3A.png[/img] On a mirror once again full coverage [img]http://i.imgur.com/SZhzcpm.png[/img] I know that the fluff needs to not be cut off but could the artists at least make it fit ?

Stuff will one day go here.
I would LOVE a little more attention to detail when it comes to apparel on tundra. With each update it's getting a lot better I've noticed, but even still, I feel like tundras get the short end of the stick a lot. For example, on a lot of neck apparel on tundras does not lay the same on their neck. Especially on tundra males. I know different apparel sets are allowed to clip over each other and all that, but the differences are extreme. Compare the ornate necklaces with even the simple ones, or to teardrop necklaces. Compare: [item=Ornate Copper Necklace] to [item=Simple Copper Necklace] to [item=Teardrop Citrine Necklace] On Male Tundra. (Best I can do for examples on mobile) None of them lay the same at all. It's all willy-wonka. Just a little more consistency and attention to detail please? I have 55 perma-tuns. If an apparel item doesn't mesh well with tundra it's basically worthless to me.

Apparel is and always will be anatomically and physically defy all rules. Simply because most apparel would not even make sense on a dragon. Tundras for example would never be able to wear gloves at all without shaving their 'arms'. Wing apparel in general would not make sense.

There are always going to be some apparel glitches. There are pieces which look better on Tundras than other dragons. There's not much they can do about the Tundra's floofiness.

[color=#545b69] Using this as an example [img]http://i.imgur.com/iOlJq3A.png[/img] [color=#545b69] There is no way to make it look correct, they did the best they could. They can't change the dragon's lineart so they can't remove the fluff. Drawing the boot to completely cover the fur would make it 3x wider and ultra silly looking. It comes down to the artists try their best, which they do, or they skip apparel on tundras :( With the headdress I sort of assume it's got a flap of fur on either side, rather than is connected all the way around. I feel it's more of a headdress than a mask, so I think it looks fine.

And besides, how else are the artists supposed to draw it? They honestly did what they could for it and sometimes that just doesn't work out. The headdress looks fine to me. Like Chespin said, I don't think it's actually connected, at least not on Tundras.

Support. It's gonna be hard no matter what but there are ways to make it doable. [img]http://i.imgur.com/iOlJq3A.png[/img] Using this example, why not give it straps that go over the fluff so it looks tied on? A single strap at the top would do wonders to make those gloves more believable. Instead of taking the same art and warping it to fit the breeds (which is easily seen with the different antlers on the breeds and it looks awful), they should redraw it where needed. Sometimes warping works, sometimes there needs to be altering by hand to make it fit. Apparel for tundras should be made to fit better, even if it means adding something extra to make it more believable.

Nobody wants to tell you why discipline is so important. Discipline is the strongest form of self-love. It is ignoring current pleasures for bigger rewards to come. It's loving yourself enough to give yourself everything you've ever wanted.

Hi! I drew the mane, and I made sure for it to go over the tundra fluff entirely. What you're seeing is actually a wing fluff.
And if you mean lower part - it's supposed to be thrown over the neck, not go around it. On breeds with thicker necks you can see it doesn't cover it fully (i.e. snappers)

Sorry you didn't enjoy it, either way!

And perhaps straps that sort of tuck into the fur! I don't know, I just thought it wouldn't hurt to give my thoughts! [img]http://i.imgur.com/YrivxEI.png[/img]
