Dao Outfit Guide : Part I

Postby Scoinwolf » Wed Feb 28, 2018 4:09 pm

The left model is demonstrating a single-shoulder pauldron (aka half pauldron). The single-shoulder is common among lightly armored dao and is typically placed on their crash side (opposite their favored) as it is used for blocking and absorbing impact from blows. The half pauldron is easy to equip as it just needs to be clipped in place on a harness. Some half pauldrons and all full pauldrons come already fixed in place on a harness
Most dao prefer to bulk up their leg protection as well on their crash side and it will oft have a fuller cover than their favored. The most common is the cloth wrap as it is easy to apply and find. Cuffs/Bracers/Gauntlets/Gloves can be slipped on over the paw or clasped/tied in place if in multiple pieces/not sewn. These are typically placed over a leg wrap to prevent chafing but those with thicker fur can bear to go without the added layer.

The center model demonstrates a forwards-opened jacket/coat. Two dao are needed for this, one to wear the jacket and one to help put it on. The wearer will first step one paw through a leg hole then sit upright and tuck their paws in close to their chest. The helper will then bring the jacket around to the wearer's other shoulder and help tuck their other paw through the second leg hole. The arms of the jacket, if long, will be rolled up to make the process easier. If there are any clasps or belts to close the jacket, the helper will apply them, but if the wearer simply desires the jacket to hang open then nothing else is needed.

The right model demonstrates the back-closed jacket/coat. Two dao are needed for this, one to wear the jacket and one to help put it on. The jacket is laid out on the ground and the wearer steps into the two leg holes. They grasp the shorter side of the jacket and pull it up, holding it as far up on their side as they can. The helper takes the longer side of the jacket and brings it over the wearer's side and over their back. They can balance on one paw, while using the other to help bring the shorter side closer to the long, before connecting the clasps to hold the two together. Secondary claps are usually added on the outside of the overlap to prevent it from easily being taken off. Belts can be added as extra precaution as well.

The pull-over jacket will be demonstrated by Kelly in Wayward Bound

Wow. o.o

Just, wow. All that description for their clothes. And by the way, what does a Dao, mean? ;u; Some sort of dog / wolf, I presume?
But seriously man, the attention to detail is so nice. I love this, and reading about the descriptions was so cool! It takes real dedication to write those long descriptions. XD

Thanks!! Dao are the species my comic, Wayward Bound, centers around. They're the Nova Terran version of a dog - a domesticated version of Hyperion's Hunters:
