<DIV><FONT face="Tms Rmn"> <P>Well I had faith in SOE's artists for making a cool Dirge hat but after yesterday my Rat dirge is going to look like he should wear a matching Kilt or be painting on the streets of Paris while sipping wine. LOL. So before the artists, that are doing the Bruiser profession hat, ends up handing us a Nun's habit, I thought we could toss some ideas and pictures out for what we think it should look like. </P> <P>I saw some of the other threads but most devolved into jokes with cowboy hats and salsa dip dishes, which are very funny but I am guessing after a couple visits Devs prob just move on by the thread. Here is one thread that amid all the joking had some good ideas and pictures. </P> <P>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=7&message.id=13195&view=by_date_ascending&page=5</P> <P>For me I want to see something that is menacing, has strategically placed plates/spikes for head butting and has a look that it offers good protection. Also personally when I think of Bruisers I often picture some of the artwork from Brom over the years. Since I am doing this on my lunch break and don't have a lot of time for doing a more encompassing search I'll just link some Brom pics for now. I will look for other sources later. These links below have some good ideas that give Bruisers a menacing look that says this helm is a weapon as much as it's protective gear. </P> <P> </P> <P>This horns one looks cool but isn't that functional for a hand to hand combatant, replace horns with curved blades or barbed spikes that can't be so easily grabbed and used against the Bruiser.</P> <P></FONT><FONT face=Helv size=2><A href="http://www.scancoo.com/QMan_Brom_Darkwerks/html/image35.htm" target=_blank>http://www.scancoo.com/QMan_Brom_Darkwerks/html/image35.htm</A></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Helv size=2>This one has a nice look minus the orange bangle thingy.</FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Helv size=2><A href="http://www.scancoo.com/QMan_Brom_Darkwerks/html/image14.htm" target=_blank>http://www.scancoo.com/QMan_Brom_Darkwerks/html/image14.htm</A></P> <P>This bug eyed one is good as an example for the protective look and the evil spikes but replace the bug eye covers with gladiator like slits as I doubt the Bruiser community wants to walk around looking like a bumblebee heh. </P> <P><A href="http://glloq66.free.fr/dl/images/brom/brom_images_037.jpg" target=_blank>http://glloq66.free.fr/dl/images/brom/brom_images_037.jpg</A></P> <P> </P> <P>Some other good solid examples of menace and protection. </P> <P><A href="http://glloq66.free.fr/dl/images/brom/brom_images_007.jpg" target=_blank>http://glloq66.free.fr/dl/images/brom/brom_images_007.jpg</A></P> <P><A href="http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Brom%20-%20Darkwerks/Brom%20-%20Darkwerks%20-%20114.jpg" target=_blank>http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Brom%20-%20Darkwerks/Brom%20-%20Darkwerks%20-%20114.jpg</A></P> <P><A href="http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Brom/Brom%20-%20Gladiateur.jpg" target=_blank>http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Brom/Brom%20-%20Gladiateur.jpg</A></P> <P><A href="http://www.therionweb.de/brom/volume2/brom_sister_compassion.jpg" target=_blank>http://www.therionweb.de/brom/volume2/brom_sister_compassion.jpg</A></FONT></P></DIV><p>Message Edited by Fromingo on <span class=date_text>06-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:18 PM</span>
