What was the goal here with these things? Were you guys inspired by the Japanese sashimonos? These things look utterly horrible. These things look like someones underwear strewn up on some sticks and glued to our backs. I could make a better model for one of these in a single night in 3d’s max, albeit untextured.
There are so many nicer designs you could of come up with. Why not something like this?
