Angeló Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Shoyru colors are always so cool But I'll never give up on my Maraquan Shoyru to paint him anything else Singledwish123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Oh I love that outfit. I will have to wait for prices to drop and then start hunting down the pieces. It'll be a bit of a culture shock for my Plushie Shoyru, but well worth it! The Steampunk is well done as well. It doesn't seem as obnoxiously busy as many of them are! Reminds me of Vikings, I think. GillyTook and Angeló 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was more Samurai than Viking ... idk why but I feel Shoyrus always have an Asian vibe to them altho they are not Asian Dragons GillyTook and Secre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the horns that made me think Viking in honesty! GillyTook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillyTook Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The fur trimming also seems to be more viking inspired than samurai. They were from a much colder region, so it'd make more sense anyway. Secre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuninvited Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I LOVE the direction they're going with wearables lately. There are so many looks that 10-20 years ago would've only been attainable via paint brush - like this three-headed Shoyru costume - that are now available as general buyables with a lot more customization power and the option to make regular changes without constantly paying for brushes/potions to do it.

Angeló Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 it's a common misconception that the Vikings had horned helmets. That notion was popularized by Scandinavian artists in the 1800's and Wagner in his Opera .. but it is not entirely true In Japan, some Samurai armor incorporated a horned, plumed or crested helmet. These horns, used to identify military commanders on the battlefield, could be cast from metal, or made from genuine water buffalo horns. I didn't notice the fur trimmings ... either way it's a cool colour concept x Secre and GillyTook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berriganify Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 My brain says I know vikings didn't have horned helmets, but my heart says they look cool, so I choose to ignore it when it comes to fantasy. Call them ceremonial or something The fur on the jacket reads more 'aviator' to me, like a bomber jacket, especially with the helmet (take off the horns, it looks like one of those early pilot's helmets), which definitely fits the steampunk theme. I kinda like it, and I don't have a shoyru get so it's definitely going on the 'maybe' list And that's a neat fact about the samurai helmets! Honestly that's probably one of the only good reasons to have horns on your helmet, they've got to be pretty inconvenient for actual fighting, not to mention a grabbing hazard, lol Angeló, Secre and GillyTook 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitchtaleLover Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Whatever that design may be based off of, that new Steampunk Color is amazing! Unlike most other Steampunk designs, it's not overdoing it with the details, and it works perfectly on its own too! Fantastic job! And that 3-HEADED DRAGON??? Awesome!! Not only are the colors beautiful, but the heads having different expressions really makes it look even cooler. I could see this working as a comical trio of conjoined siblings lol. Overall, the Shoryu designs were perfect today! Angeló 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musical_Shoyru Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Honestly I would of leaned more Japanese style as well, It actually reminds me of Rathalos armor from Monster Hunter. Which it could very well be a reference too, TNT LOVES their references. Angeló 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
