Some of our readers may recall the time when composite armor was the thing to wear, and almost every soldier, hunter or safety-conscious civilian wore composite armor - mostly of dull grey.

In recent times, fashion changed, and other armor types became more common. However, composite armor is still wide-spread - the suits are durable, and people get a lot of milleage out of them. However, with this comes a need for some people to get a distinct look - not everyone wants to look like a clone. For years, various color schemes have been sufficient for most. However, some go beyond that, combining different armor styles and colors for their own unique look.

Last night, our social correspondent saw a really original example of such armor customisation, which surpassed such schemes. This fashion trendsetter is Draz'tek. When he was leaving Jailbirds in Farpoint Valley last night he was wearing composite armor with an entire painting on his helmet. The painting, according to our Nabooian Art expert done in the classic "Theed graffiti style" - no doubt a nod to the neo-speed-stoic movement of Moenia, which pioneered such "quick painting" prior to the clone wars - showed a colorful landscape.

As an added touch, Draz'tek colored his own lekku with bright pink pictures of stars and flowers - a daring contrast to the helmet design, almost avant-garde in the way it clashes colors, and designs, and reminescent of the late fashion designer Dr'k, who was famous for his "color-blind" edition of clothes.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to find out who did the art for this designs, but our art expert will do his utmost once he is back from covering the latest installation of Buri "Nova" Ferin on Heruk Prime.
