#fist fighting

Honestly at the start of making his clothes I wasn't too sold on it, but I find after I get through the frustration of fighting with a sewing machine ad spending way too much time hand sewing it's quite enjoyable.

Best part of it has to be seeing my creation at the end tho.

Monk Glamour

Fist Fighting Onna-musha

This glam was a tough one. I wanted to create a glamour around the Tantra Wristwraps after I saw them used by someone else. The Tantra-Set is an old one (Lv60) and I kind of forgot how cool some of the parts look. Only one of the three parts of the wristwraps dye so you get some clean look with most colors. I decided to try some Storm Blue with this glamour. I don’t often use blue, because it’s looking kind of cold in combination with her pale skin. But in this case I liked the contrast to the undyeable white and bronze parts of the wristwraps and gave it a try. When starting a glamour with the gloves, you want them to be seen. And this was real tricky this time. Long sleeves often hide the bulky part of the wristwraps which disturbs the look of them. I also didn’t want to get a casual look. The gloves look monk-like and so should the rest of the glamour do. After some research I came across the Dai-ryumyaku Togi of Striking. The armor like look without sleeves as well as the bronze plates and details match the wristwraps and it dyes nice in Storm Blue. The headpiece was another tricky one. I’m not a fan of big helmets. I wanted her haitstyle and face to be seen with as less clipping as possible. The Archaeodemon Horns meet this conditions and bring a sense of supernatural power to the whole glam, without transforming it completely. For the weapons I prefer unimpressive ones. The Rakshasa Knuckles are unimpressive and their bronze accents stand out when dyed in Storm Blue, so they match the used color palette well. The shoes have been a tricky part too. In the absence of better alternatives I used the Dai-ryumyaku Sune-ate of Striking (Storm Blue). Since they belong to the chosen chest piece, they of course match the color palette. All other items I tried got something on them I didn’t like (false height, inappropriate accents ...). With all the bronze accents around I wanted a leg piece that was really simple: Cotton Tights. To keep them low-key I used Soot Black instead of Storm Blue.

All these items are wearable for both genders, but due to the wristwraps and knuckles the glamour is restricted to monk only. You have to be at least Lv70 to wear all parts of the glamour.

It’s never a bother! I love interacting with you guys :3

Diana actually did get an etiquette curriculum on proper fist fighting! It was arranged by Anna (at Diana’s insistence) after the time she decked someone for bad mouthing Shiny Chariot/her mother. She prefers jabs that knock the opponent out in one hit, as she doesn’t have the stamina to go for super long bouts. Due to the whole healer upbringing, this means she knows *every* pressure point you have on your body and she Will Exploit them. Diana fights primarily with honor, but she can and will fight dirty if her opponent fails to follow the proper etiquette in fist fighting.

“Why did they make Boxing Gloves and Brass Knuckles all One-hand weapons?

In New Vegas and Fallout 3 they always gave you them in pairs with good animations so it didn’t feel so awkward and clumsy trying to fight.

As it is, every time I use them I keep remembering the Cowardly Lion saying “I’ll fight ya with one paw tied behind my back.”
