So I've played around with the base paperdoll, trying to merge mine and Bloax's sprites to get a result I like (get bloax's muscle tone but get rid of hueg breasts, piggy-pink skin hue and unnatural pelvis musculature). Here it is (but it'd take tons of work to actually update all paperdolls to that...)

I like these, I really do!  ;D

Dioxine, I've sent you an E-mail with the request about half a hour ago from my phone, but I'll put it here too.

Is it possable for me to get a complete (all 48 bodys) copy of body #500.  I use this one as a base for all my Images.

I will get it to you once it is done; this won't take that long. I'm just weighing cons and pros before starting to update 2000 pictures, which is likely to take a day or 2 :)

Ah.

Well, I have less pictures to update, but I agree with you - it is a time comsumeing problem.

You probably have a slightly outdated variant, but I doubt that's a big problem.
They're only improvements either way.


as for taking a while... :^ )

These look terrific, Dioxine!  (and yeah, I'm not a fan of the Pinky girls, But I like Bloax's work other than that. )

Even better... You keep the best to yourself while I've butchered those pretty badly as well :)

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a lot of people being very used to XCOM having yellow as fuck paperdolls, while I - having never played the game today, let alone the original a very long time ago - have no such accustomment to this visual detail, thus preferring a piggyskin tone over the comically yellow vanilla skin tone.

I can't say I dislike the pink skin in itself, it just doesn't look X-Com to me. It'd be OK for some other some alien race, including alien chicks, but humans? That's just not the same graphic convention.

Well I'm not trying to look like X-COM. I'm just going for something closer to reality.

In fact the only time caucasian people would look not pink-ish in sunlight would be when you have red or green colorblindness - or they're pretty tan or in more yellow lighting than daylight sunlight.

In reality, yes. In X-Com, no. :)

Panty-pink is even further removed from any reality, as far as skin colors go... and who said they were Caucassian in the first place :P
Also it would blend with red and pink outfits. And there are 4x16 colors for yellowish/brownish skin tones, while only 1x16 for pink.

I think anything honestly works because they're mutants anyway. I like both. Variety is good.
