More on Coordination

is a vital part to making your loadout look presentable. We will be going over how this principle can be applied to your character, cosmetic-wise. This is a no-brainer, as too many conflicting elements will confuse your audience as to what tone you want your character to give off.For those of you who don't exactly know what coordination means, shame on you.Just kidding.I will provide you with examples of good coordination and bad coordination, however you must decide for yourself what theme you are going for with your character. This is unfortunately where the differences between good and bad get a bit hazy, as a counter aesthetic,, is also a beauty to some.This is an example ofThough Heavy's composition is exceptional, there is lots of confusion as to who he is. Is he a knight? No. An augmented robo-dude? Nah. Is he going through the Everglades in those booty shorts? The world may never know. Bad composition makes a loadout look excruciatingly sloppy. If you can't walk the walk, might as well not talk the talk.This is another example ofall because someone decided to slap a bunch of cosmetics onto their class from their backpack with no regard for your eyes.How about that? The list of painful combinations go on and on, however I would much rather teach you how to remediate these atrocities - or prevent them.Before we get into the whole discussion of how to coordinate your mercs, you must figure out what you want to center the look on. For instance, you could do many things with each class's look. However, these matters will be sorted out in a different chapter. See Notice how the outfit coordination of this heavy does represent that he's an augmented super soldier or a safari mann? Now he can certainly walk the walk and talk the talk. The loadout looks much more organized and more centralized to a certain aesthetic.Here are other examples of pretty solid coordination with Scout. You can tell right off the bat what he is, and that's an example of stellar coordination. You can visibly see that he is an astronaut, and then has a vintage 60's aesthetic going on in the other image.There are a bunch of other examples that I could jot down representing coordination out there, but I will refrain from doing so because this is where things start to open up for interpretation. So with that, I shall provide two more examples of good coordination.
