Anyone know whether the leather strip gladiator "skirt" shown in the promos for Maia HD https://www.daz3d.com/maia-hd-for-ellithia-8

is an actual product for sale anywhere? The underlying garment is the awesome Exquisite Ornaments Outfit for G8F by Aeon Soul. I've tried searching the Daz Store and over at Rendo, but haven't had any luck.

    Have you been able to find the outfit you mentioned?  I would like to know as well, been searching with no luck

    An interesting fact to note is that every single illustration showing this dress is actually just one of three poses that are repeated and simply cropped differently.  Given that the "Skirt" add-on in question only exists on very similar poses, and that you've already Identified the clothing element underneath, my guess is that it only exists as a Photoshop composite and we're actually looking at a very small section that's been cut out from a larger skirt or possibly even just a flat photo. After all, why else would the promo artist use the same pose over again three times if they could get a different view just by warping the dress elements slightly and re-rendering?  And if it was done in Photoshop, the odds are pretty good that the actual item itself could have been heavily retouched, extended, warped, or re-colored in the process, aren't they?  The more I look at it, the more sure I am that this is what's been done, and that the original source probably could have been any of the dozens of gladiator or roman figures out there.

    edit - went back and cleared up some of what I wrote as I was using speech to text and not all of what I said made it into the first draft.

    It was custom made by Hellboy for the promos, sadly not available for distribution :) I have tried to convince him to make it into something though lol

    They are just leather strips modeled by me.

    Sometimes I model details for promos, never add postwork elements.

    I am sharing it in case someone wants to use it too. You will have to manualy place and texture them, otherwise, have fun yes

    This seems actually like a very easy to make piece of clothing.

    They don't really have to fit the body and they also don't have to be adapted for too many poses.

    Unfotunately I do not own the underlying garment or I would make it in my free time for you as a freebie.

    Thank you very much! I apologize for not seeing this until now. Life has been a little crazy the last few months frown
