You're nowhere near too cluttered dood.
The only thing I'd do is remove the amulet, and wearing the ring would be fine. You should post the shows on your items though. :p
Odd that he's wearing a doublet but not pants. Other than that and putting the surcoat over the chain instead of under it, nicely done and not cluttered at all. The ring wouldn't be too much at all. I'd have the gauntlets altered to match the chain, then he'd really be all knight-in-shining-armor. I would especially like to see the show on the surcoat!
That overly-stuffed sausage would be Kritz or something to that effect.
She was in the park yesterday being a dipshit so I have no qualms with calling her and her shitty alters out.
:) Correct.

The doublet is actually backpack worn, I just can't see someone who is supposed to be a noble lugging a backpack around. If I didn't need the storage space I wouldn't wear it at all (cloak holds nothing, surcoat is VLA pinworn).

And, here are the shows, thank you for your help on some of them :thanx:
a fielded white surcoat-
The white knight's surcoat seems to be well worn, and very old. The coat-of-arms appear to have been replaced many times by different hands. Prominently featured, an argent sparrowhawk soars over the per fess on field of sable. Beneath, a fireleaf tree sprouts from a vert field. Below the waist the surcoat has an open split and is cinched neatly by a black woolen belt.
some blackened alloy bracers (these came like this)
Forged of a heavy steel alloy, these bracers clasp shut with a wrought iron axe-shaped buckle. Crimson runes have been etched into every surface and intertwined with inlaid orange spessartine garnets.
some burnished sunset-gold chainmail-
The links of this suit are a deep saturated gold, looking closely at them some links have been dyed a reddish hue. Lightly burnished into the metal of the rings is the image of a sparrowhawk, wings spread in flight. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
a small chevalier's pouch-
This type of pouch, worn by many northern knights, is designed to keep certain essentials at the ready but otherwise stay out of the way.
And this is the ring I was considering.
a rhimar signet ring-
You see your ring. Cast of white-flecked frost blue rhimar, this heavy, masculine ring has an inner lining of softly knapped suede. The suede insulates the wearer's finger from the freezing effects of the rhimar. Raised from the surface of the ring to form the seal is a sparrowhawk, wings extended in flight.
It is surrounded by a scintillating light.
As you probably tell I like shorter shows, walls of show text are just as bad as tons of items on people IMO. For instance I just gave some basic guidelines for the ring to the merchant (suede, sparrowhawk, rhimar) but if I had done it I would have eliminated a sentence most likely.
Today's outfit. Thought I'd go for something different. Clipped out a couple things that didn't quite fit for the effect.
You see Lady Lisera Narma.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be youthful and taller than average. She has wine-hearted amethyst eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy silver hair arranged in an intricately twisted roll at the back of her head and held in place by some sparkling ruby hairjewels. She has a delicate face and gracefully upswept ears tapering to sharp points. Her smooth and slender hands feature long, dextrous fingers.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a vaalin-traced elven flute swirled with moonglae opal in her right hand.
She is wearing a sparkling triple-stranded necklace strung with tiny rubies, a gold-traced lion skin corset, a pair of spiraling crimson eahnor armbands draped with a sheer gold silk veil, a delicate eahnor signet ring, some red velvet pants beaded in faceted rubies, and some elegant high-heeled sandals with a ruby-eyed golden serpent strap.
Corset: Gold graces the corset's low neckline, softly accenting the wearer's frame and ensconcing richly hued cat's-eye stones. The elegant decoration descends the busk and wraps about the slender waist to frame the gold silk lacing at the back.
Ring: Finely polished eahnor keeps its natural crimson hue, worked into an intricate filigree to snare a detailed crest contained within. Inlaid onyx and ruby form the crest, that of a blooming rose upon an open fan.

I finally got my corsets back from enchanting, so here's an attempt at making a new outfit:
You gaze fondly at yourself in your elven cameo mirror...
You see Vilhra.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be very young and tall. She has sapphire-hearted glacial blue eyes and alabaster skin. She has long, silver-undertoned pale blonde hair side parted to sweep across the forehead and back into a neat chignon. She has a bony face, a classical nose and narrow pointed ears.
She has old battle scars on her left leg.
She is wearing a spiraled thin eahnor wire choker, a wispy smoke grey gossamer cloak, an onyx-boned sleek ebon silk corset, a hazy grey glass signet ring, a black lace on pewter satin carryall, a long ebon and carmine bourde skirt with some slightly bustled silk underskirts, and some black silk pointy-toed slippers.
Choker:
Fiery red glimaerstones dot the eahnor cable at evenly spaced intervals, set perfectly flush with the surface of the deep carmine metal as to blend in both hue and texture. Beginning just behind the ear, the cable spirals downward to complete a full circle near half dozen times before the camber changes course. The eahnor wire curls in the opposite direction to encircle a perfectly spherical scarlet despanal, its heft balancing the height of the piece.
Corset:
Thin strips of onyx run from bust to waist, pulling the panels of smooth dark silk taught at the midriff for a slimming effect. The silk makes way for sheer black lace paneling at the sides, the design flaunting an intricate scene of roses in various stages of bloom. Small black vaalin hooks link the smooth silk to the lace at either side, harmonizing with the glimpses of vaalin that accent the garden scene. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
I really like that choker on Vilhra! Very creative. Heh, actually I like the corset too. Come to think of it, is there anything you've altered that I haven't liked?!
Lysistrata's going a tad simpler today...
You see Lady Lysistrata Scio.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a fine-boned, patrician face and meticulously groomed features.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a green glass rose intaglio choker, a deeply-cowled billowy black wool cloak, a gauzy emerald chainsil bliaut with knotted hanging sleeves, and some low-heeled deep green silk sandals.
Choker:
Suspended from a triple row of lustrous black pearls is a square of dizzyingly ornate blackened silver filigree displaying a round jewel of vivid mint green glass. Precisely etched into the back of the glass is a stylized rose blossom intaglio.
