Non-revealing Female Armor - Skyrim Mod Requests (2023)

EDIT: here's a rough drawing of what kind of look I mean:

Greetings fellow Skyrim addicts. Here's the deal. I kind of dislike the designs of the vanilla armor for females. Actually that's a lie, there are some nice ones but I have some ideas for some new ones. Anyway, there are very many mods that change the current armor or add new armor (from other games or completely original), but they mostly focus on showing off more skin and being skimpy or revealing. Now I like the ladies as much as the next heterosexual male, but I find it kind of annoying that there are little to no new female armors that offer some sense of realism (in a "I kill dragons for a living" kind of way). What I mean is, protective armor that conforms to the curves of the female body, without leaving nice big targets for arrows and fire and what have you.

I'm a digital illustrator myself. I have some ideas for some armor designs but I'm pretty clueless as far as 3d modeling goes, and even if I managed to get a 3d model ready, I wouldn't have the first clue about the process of getting it into the game. So basically I'm looking for someone who has that kind of knowledge to team up with me and help pump out a few new armors. I could offer concept art from all angles required and maybe do the texturing work, but what I need is someone to do the 3d and scripting side of things.

The closest I've seen to what I'm interested in doing is the Eisen platte armor however the body is a bit too skinny for what I have in mind, not to mention it completely ignores the weight slider so I can't get the chest size I like *ahem*:

I'm currently quite fond of the CBBE curvy body as far as female mods go in Skyrim, so that would probably be the base I'd want to use for these armors, although ideally I'd also like to get them to work with bodyslide as I think it's a really great tool for people that have different taste as far as bodies go. I'm thinking of starting with a new steel plate armor as a start and see from there.

I'll try and get some quick sketches up and edit this post later to give you guys an idea of what I mean.

I would like to see A LOT of new armors that don't show off a lot of skin. I'm getting tired of looking at these skimpy outfits.

If I want to see that much skin, I'll go to a website of ill repute and get my fill there.

Ok so I drew this up as an idea of what I mean. I basically took the skyrim robes and used them underneath my own take of a full plate armor. It's pretty form fitting so you still get to see the curves of the body, but none of those silly soft spots just asking to get impaled by some random bandit's sword. I don't know how much work would be needed to make something like this in 3d but it's a rough Idea I guess. If anyone is interested in giving it a shot I can paint up front back and side views for it. Any feedback is appreciated:

I guess this would be steel plate armor... but let me know if you guys would like me to try out one of the other armors, or make a completely original one.

Sorry, I thought this would be a discussion on makeing real female armor without the dreaded boob plating. Boob plate armors always make me laugh.

Omegared99 has some really great real female armors, that are not skimpy and without breast bring the size of her head. There are a few armors that are like the picture you made in it (which is very well drawn btw).

Those look... really weird and cartoony for some reason. Anyway as for the boob plating, It's still a fantasy game, and I like boobs so HAH! Well I mean... I'm using a pretty fit looking female character and it's kind of annoying that I have to choose between fully protective armor that makes my character look like washboard, or armor that actually matches the body I chose but is about as protective as a bikini. Also I think the vanilla skyrim armor (steel particularly) looks kind of lame and low detail? Dunno.

I still like the armor to look "sexy" but without all the structural weaknesses or something. Also I want an opportunity to see something I designed in a game!!

No I understand, I suppose as a girl I simply wince at the whole prospect of running around in DD or J cups swinging a sword or ridding a horse. XD

You should try the armor in game yourself, the cartoon feeling I think is their ENB settings more then anything else because most of them look great in my game... silly modders and their ENB settings.

Are you wearing DD or J cups by any chance? Jokes aside, thanks for the link! Going to try the mod out. Hopefully it's a craftable. Doesn't say in its description.

@chaosbringer99
Very nice drawing mate! I'm really impressed. You should try contacting armor modders personally (just a suggestion) and give your idea!
