The jungle itself seemed to be talking to Garug, disembodied whispers filled the air, it took a while to understand what they were trying to say, but after a while he began to understand what they asked of him. The forest protected itself, but it needed a champion, and Garug was happy to oblige, feeling that long lost sense of belonging. So the forrest provides, and it gave him several boons, but most of all a physical companion, in the form of a small fern pup.

Everyone has been putting up all their lovely Caladbolg themed suits, I thought I'd share mine, a leafy charr, which is something you don't see every day, I think! I took a long time figuring out how to mix more pieces into this to make it look leafy enough without just pigeon-holing myself into full Nightmare gear, and I'm happy with the results. I've recently started wearing the shadow of the dragon shoulderpiece, but I usually just hide them, prefer the shoulderless look for this, still included a shot with them as my character select shot.

I agree on the shoulder. It looks better without showing it imo. maybe u could of used a second hair color green or something planty looking? instead of white. i think it would make it stand at more. i like the dye comb u used. i'd like to see more screens like your main screen. that warden warhorn is a very nice choice. i also think u should use a different helm. it feels out of theme here. maybe use something like a scar, mask like stalker visage? idk still gold but can be improved

The hair colour I keep as the combo it is because of the fur pattern I have, matches it better, doesn't feel necessary to clash with that just to push plantyness, on top of the greens that are available not quite fitting the dye scheme. As for the headpiece, it's really just a matter of nothing else that looks better, the scar masks I don't like on charr, I thought about putting the glowing green mask on this, but now the glow of it clashes with Caladbolg, as for the stalker, already use it on another suit on this same guy, and I don't like repeating armour pieces too much. Definitely will keep workin on this, but I think it's more a matter of waiting for the right skin, just like caladbolg, that was a godsend. XD Thanks for the feedback!

Lovely colours you chose!
The natural theme is very well done and you chose perfect weapons for it!
Also the fact that its a medium armoured charr is quite unique :D
Your screens look very nice too, gj!
Gold for you! :)

Thank you! That first one I was trying to get the extended sword jab on the ranger 2 skill, but got that one instead which looked fantastic. XD

Thank you, before this caladbolg restoration thing came around I actually had the broken caladbolg on him, so it was just perfect! Started the theme around the druid staff though, it's a cool staff, don't see it often.

A really nice upload! I think it´s the fur pattern and colour that makes this Charr particularly pleasing to the eye ^^
I like the very natural mixture of green and brown dyes, especially on the coat and boots and while I agree that the whole silhouette looks sleaker without the shoulders, I do love how the dyes are flowing from the shoulders to the coat!
He feels like a true druid and while I also like the really crazy looks, it´s always nice to see a cohesive look that really reflects the class of the character!
Considering how new you are to uploading I am still impressed by your great presentation, there is nothing I can nag about in your screens or description
Looking forward to seeing many more of your looks! ^^
Gold of course

Thank you for the always kind words! I think I've gotten into a jam of making more subverted type of looks, I'm not really much for making it too crazy, I think, but we'll see, more to come still, I'm barely a quarter into my suits. XD

Love it! However the screens could be a bit better to show off the character's armor in a more neutral position. Lots of really nice action shots and poses, but can't get a clear view of the frontside D: Gold nonetheless :)

This is a wonderful look! I like that you only used a few of the nightmare pieces, so that the leather of the medium armour is very visible. I prefer it with the shoulders hidden, because the texture of the coat underneath is so nice :D

Yeah, think I got a bit carried away with the actiony stuff on this one, I do love the charr staff stance... XD Ye can see it a bit on the second screen, but that's about it!

I think that's why it looks so nice with no shoulderpads that I've tried atleast, that layered leather look of the trapper coat is so fantastic. Thanks for the comment!

I rarely see plant themes done right with charr characters, but you've pulled it off! Nicely done.

Very impressed by your recent designs. It has such a natural vibe and screens are well taken.
It's been a while since the site had such an impactful stylist appear.
You bring a breath of fresh air to the site.

Thank you! It's kind of tough to do, I've seen some other good ones, but it's not a very comfortable place for charr. XD

*grunt* If it was up to me I'd have you working the forges back at the Black Citadel, you hippie!

One of your best looks for sure!
