There's a been a lot of teeth gnashing going on about Vines being a subpar pattern. I agree it's definitely minimalist, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with.

That exactly WHY I like it. It's not all in your face.

I only used the mask / face detail of the vines, but love how it turned out !

Here's an uber-quickie screenie of the outfit I made for my fortunata last night.... Fiachna's Vines Attire which I love how it turned out.

I think minimalist patterns are great. They don't clash as much with other costume parts.

Not only that, but they're easier to create looks that utilize other patterns without looking insanely hideous. I personally love the vines pattern as a pattern that compliments others.

Except that I tried using the upper body tights pattern and ... it was completely lacking. Completely useless, in terms of anything to do with costumery, the detail goes past subtle into uselessness there. The legs and face, they look nice. But without SOMETHING more on the chest it's almost not even worth having.

THere are plenty of chest options though. >.> could put any emblem there really or any number of other accessories.
I know, but the extra stuff simply overtakes the nearly non-present squigglies on the sides. It'd become the focus of the top, and while adding some squigglies under the planty stuff might be nice, it really does nothing for me. :/

I was working a bit with the new vines pattern last night. couldn't quite nail down what i wanted cause i had skipped over the costume and cape mission at 20 somehow. Once i finish those up tonight, along with aura mission i think i'll have something to do with it.
Roxy On DA...Finally!
Here's my suggestion....
Its for a Spine/Dark scrapper that I have on Test Server that I plan to level in readiness for Going Rogue. This will be her second outfit when I get to lvl 20.
I use all pieces except the boots and the mask... It probably would be more visible if I used the Mini-vest, but the Leather Jacket sort fitted better (Leather theme).... still might go with the mini-vest, I'm undecided.

You did what I was thinking about when I first saw the set. I think vines works great as "tatoos".

I'd love to see what the costume sages can come up with this for this simple challenge: Construct a good looking costume using some or all of the Vines pattern.
I'll post up my entries when I get home. Winner gets....um, recognition of awesomeness? Yeah, that sounds good.
