Request / Idea - Sexy Mantis Suit

[Kit Nova]

Of all the suits in the game, the Mantis one is one of my favorites for its unique design and the interesting story behind it. I would love to see someone make a sexy variant at some point without completely changing the overall identity of it, maybe making the green areas, especially the legs a lot more form fitting at the very least or tweaking other areas for a more attractive look. I don't really have any examples or specific ideas of my own but I do know how creative this community is and I do understand this may take some time, possibly needing certain mod tools to be updated and the like. So just throwing this out here in the hopes it might inspire someone to take a look at this armor. Thanks in advance for whoever considers this. ?

Oh, also, if anyone wants to draw, doodle. or sketch any ideas on what they think a sexy Mantis suit might look like feel free to post it here for anyone to see. I plan to mess around with a few concepts later myself when I can think of an idea, but I'm not very artistically inclined so they'll likely be quite crude. I'll update this post here with images if I can come up with anything I feel is good enough to share.

 

Ok, as promised, I did a very crude super rough outline of a few ideas I had that might go towards a sexier mantis suit. Basically a couple of notes with what is essentially an MS Paint style thing I guess. Proportions aren't great and its obviously bad but hopefully it might help someone maybe with inspiration.

I'd love to see BubbleGumCrisis like Space suits myself

Had to look up BubbleGumCrisis and yeah thats definitely a cool look and I could see it being a solid inspiration source for various sexy suit designs.

Ok, so I took my super basic ideas from before and did some compositing into a super rough first concept.

And for the sake of this, the assumption is translucent space suit materials where the skin is showing. Then I ran it through an AI art thingy to see what I could potentially come up with with prompts and such. I do consider pretty much all of these to be big failures but I am going to post them here in case it inspires someone or something. I'll be putting them in sets of 4 under spoilers so people dont get assaulted with whole lot of pics at once and stuff.

I'll keep tweaking and playing with the thing and see if I can figure it out. Think I need to reduce the detail level and get it closer to the style and materials of the base suit image but kinda just learning this stuff for the first time so its all trial and error.

The problem with using early mesh mashups like this is that they have a tendency to use textures/mesh edits that break the look of the outfits they took the components from. We're at the point where we're starting to see mods with custom filenames for meshes and textures so that they're not stepping on each other's toes or affecting the vanilla outfits. These early mashups may be nice for taking screenshots, but the amount of jank they can introduce to other outfits makes them questionable for extended gameplay use.

What zhdarkstar said, and also what I'm really looking for is something that keeps to the theme and identity of the original outfit even if it completely remakes it, so similar shape designs, colors, etc.
