  If I was generating something for your parameters I would probably go something like the below. Use or ignore as you wish.
  
  * I drop a lot of the backing tights because it helps show the orange skin (reinforcing that it is a demon, that it is female, and cutting down on the black a little).
  * Gold / bronze for metals like the shoulder blades since I like bronze with demons.
  * I added some side horns (it is cool how those connect on the top if you max the ear slider, forming sort of a weird counter halo) and some evil shadow tentacle things to push the demon while keeping the armor subtle.
  * For chest layer Serpent Armor looks like it could be leather and doesn't obliterate the waist. Other options: Alien Gladiator Armor / Ancient Armor if you want to maintain some curves but have heavier armor. Dragon Armor Chest works to if you want more subtle yet decorative (though it is metal only).
  * I added a few spikes with the arm accessories and hips, just so the armor looks more evil.
  * To avoid the 90s tech leggings, a combo of tall plate boots and upper leg guards. Both those have spike options but I felt that would be overkill. Also the spiked boots of this design didn't have the high heels, which I thought looked better for this.

  She looks kinda great.
  Just by looking at her i got some ideas i want to try out.Orange skin colour also seems like a good idea, will try that out since red is so bright under certain circumstances (especially in MC).
  I like the idea with the tentacles.
  
  For the nephilim stuff I usually make the blades greyish.
  In my opinion your design is a bit too red but its personal taste and it really helped me.
  
  One of the problems I have is, i wanna keep the nephilim neck piece. You can only use it if you dont use chest wear so there's the problem with the Chest area not looking like an armor. Males are bigger, the neck piece and the shoulder pieces are way bigger on males so it isnt that much of a problem for males, but females are different....
  
  Lets see what i come up with, will post it here then.

  I'm so glad the newer parts they've been adding lately are more category tolerant.
  
  With the neck piece still present, some options for Chest Layer armor are:
  
  * Dragon Armor Chest (unfortunately forced metal texture)
  * Nighthawk (a little to tech)
  * 90's Foxbat Chest Piece (a tad light but looks pretty good)
  * Alien Gladiator Armor (my personal favorite and used in the image below)
  
  BTW, since you like the Nephilum pieces (they are pretty stylish) also check out the image below for an interesting combo of "Armor Nephilim Blade Large" for bracers and "Alien Gladiator Gauntlets" for hands that I think looks pretty vicious (and actually is compatible with the Tights & Skin torso required for the neck).

  Sadly the Alien Gladiator costume pieces aren't an option because they're too expensive.
  I guess i'll have to rework her concept then. Maybe not use the necklace, maybe use metal armor.
  
  Well i'll go to sleep and give it some thought.(its 1:45am here). Just sitting there for hours thinking of a good design isnt good.
  
  So if you should come up with something or if you're bored and come up with a Demonic armored female design that contains some nephilim pieces (an no pieces that are expensive) feel free to post it, everything's a help.
  Tomorrow i'll take a look at my notes (i take notes of every idea i have) maybe i'll come up with somethings. I wont give up though.Maybe i'll look through some Demon and Armor pictures on google again tomorrow. This usually also helps.
  
  So feel free to comment and post. Tomorrow when i've worked on her costume a bit i will post what I came up with.

  Hmm...
  
  One way around the neck / chest layer limitation is to select "Robotic Both Arms" rather then "Tights & Skin" for your torso type. That keeps the nephilum neck as an option and allows Chest Layer to be the following decent options (if you have them):
  * Armor Patterned (the patterns Classic Cybot and Classic Skull would be decent for fantasy armor).
  * Ancient Armor.
  * Dark Armor.
  * Spartan Armor.
  * Power Straps (very leather but bulky enough to look heavy and free).
  * Roin'Esh (very good potential if colored right).
  
  The huge visible downside of this is of course that you have to get the game to cover up the arms so they aren't robotic... Fortunately there are a lot of pieces under "Chest & Arms" that do this:
  * Archer Shirt.
  * Gravitar (Haut Couture is cheaper then it used to be, very stylish, and unlike the other options actually puts actual skin on the arms when doing this, rather then cloth / metal patterns).
  * Robot Samurai (for the way to armored look).
  
  The other ways to hide a robotic arm I can think of are:
  * Scifi Armor under Arm Accessories, though it is very bulky.
  * Extra Long Glove, Long Glove Gravitar, Wedding Glove, Wedding Glove with Ring under Long Gloves: Hands. These four go all the way up the arm covering the robotic arm parts, but remove the option for bracers / cooler gloves.

  The Roin'esh chestpiece might look very good yeah.
  I thought of going with the samurai chestpiece without the neckpiece.
  
  Both are c-store so i guess i'll have to invest some money again or wait till i have my free zen fot this month.
  
  I'll experiment with them and then decide which one i'll buy, if i'll buy one of them.

  I think this is all done using free parts (and I know I forgot the gloves AND forgot to save the costume file.. damn. )

  What do you think about these?
  Played around with the colors a bit.
  
  These Designs are from 2 days ago and i havent worked on the costume again yet
  
  Maybe i'll use the Heroic stance, also maybe i'll remove the long gloves and use nephilim bracers instead.
  I like the boots, they're elegant,look armored and just make her look more beautiful and feminine
  
  On the 3rd screen she's wearing a different mask.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Or her. Im using Shadow Wings so they would replace the cape.
  I could use fire flight and color it darker but i like Shadow Winds better.
  
  
  
  btw I like your designs serpine.
