Yeah the same DOOM helmet my design was based on, yours is just a bit less unrecognizable :P But fitting it onto a latex suit looks bad - and the helmet itself looks paper-thin, not like the pretty bulky doom guy's helmet. And the armor is hardly useless - wearing it, you're pretty much fully safe from low-powered guns, can take direct hits with Frag grenades without death or grevious injury, and pretty much ignore small grenades. The problem is - your rendition does look useless but doesn't look shoddy at all, it looks very fashion :)

@vampire armor: yeah I like it a lot. Maybe add horns/little bat wings to that helmet? You might also remove even more of the lower part of the helmet if it looks too hardcore now.

Not sure why you're calling it vampire armor - is the chryssalid (+ celatid) armor now vampire themed instead?

And I do prefer it looking hardcore as fuck.

My friend this surely sounds like some crazy Gaian talk :) In actuality, it's the other way around - city streets (if someone cleans them) or even cultivated fields are safe-ish to walk on barefoot, but only a moron would go without shoes into the wilderness... Not much of my personal opinion, but a common knowledge where I was raised (in a tiny backwater village in the middle of wilderness, as it happens).

Got it from a blacksmith farrier but he may be full of crap for all I know, I do not care enough to argue further.

The doom helmet was quite obvious since I saw their sprite on the battlescape.

The chryssalid armor is scary alright. It's made of chryssalids, and celatids.

School started again and I've been having a ton of problems in regards to wacky sleep schedules.

Night ops?

I thought it was something new - all this baroque, carved, segmented metal doesn't remind of Chryssalid plating at all. Nor is celatid segmented...

Well chryssalids are not-xenomorphs, I just went with the more exciting option.
Because let's be honest,

chryssalids don't have that cool detail-overload look.

Great work so far! I can't help but be reminded of Baldur's Gate when I look at your ladies, it's probably due to the shine. As another poster said, you really capture the old timey PC aesthetic quite well. While I enjoy the dolls existing in the mod already, I'll just love to see my gals looking like the freaky mutant amazons they oughta be.

The only other comment I'll make is in regards to your great Night Ops attempt, looks wonderful though I personally feel a more prominent/traditional NV Goggle like the original would be better than just a thin visor.

Nice body designs but, imho, very ugly faces.

Faces are extremely difficult to work with in such a small resolution, especially so for someone that has never worked much with faces like me.

I wouldn't exactly call them "very ugly" though, that seems more like a dissonance between what kind of faces you like on your cartoon women and what kind I like.
and i just happened to miraculously stumble (about 100% of all the face stuff past the basic eye/nose/mouth layout and skull structure is trial and error) into a facial structure that i like

Excuses, excuses. But I'm not afraid to admit my own incompetence.
