Unfortunately, looks too close to alien alloy. I know it's not the same, but just too close.

The Liquidators themselves and the battlefield sprites for either seem to have no problems being 'alloyed', though. :-\

How about replacing the alloy vest, then? Sans the shades, I guess. I never liked that blue colour which kinda looks like it's painted on. Although since I play without the custom palette, maybe it's better with that.

Hmm, I'd rather make some tiny alteration to your design, making it less blueish. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but maybe?

Still, I kinda like the black version. I like black clothes, okay? #edgecom #gothhusbando

Eh, I like black as much as the next tactical nerd. I just appreciate this particular paperdoll so much that I made two versions for myself, one for MiB (all black, incl. the sprite), and one for EXALT and X-Com (that bluish tint).

If you don't think it fits the mod, that's fine, leave it be. All I did was take the original Piratez paperdoll and backfill it to your X-Com standard (because all 'Commies have manly shoulders 8) ).

All right, appreciated. :)

I honestly keep having to pick one option over another all the time, and I hate it.

Hmm, should I make a 'random offerings' thread to keep this one more focused?

I have another combo image proposal, because I never liked how Black Lotus doesn't have a mid-level sensei/sifu.

Mid level? This man counted to infinity. Twice.

I mean, right now there's the Assassins and then there's Lo Wo, with nothing in-between.

Even if this guy managed to count up to some ethereal cardinal (twice!) and has fists of fury, he's still a dude in white pajamas.

Raynerd eh? :)
Not planning to add more Black Lotus ranks, there is no place for it. Also, would need to be some cool concept.

How is a guy with Fists of Fury™ who has seen beyond infinity not cool? :o

Also, what do you mean by a martial arts group without teachers/technical leaders (as in technique) having no place for them? Does Lo Wo teach everyone? ???

Alternatively, something along the lines of the Goddess getting stronger/better at possessing humans over time, so after X months the Avatars are accompanied by these guys who either punch X-Com really hard, go Liu Kang on us, shoot lasers out of their eyes, stuff like that.

Greetings!
Please tell me if there is any solution to find the last alien?

Yes. But this is not the thread for it. Make a new one or post in the main XCF thread.

Hmm, how about this fella? The Chosen sprites always looked kinda bad to me.

You will hate him in the jungle, though!

It's a solid work and better than the original, but the original's colours are more watery with these shades of blue, whereas yours is more "wood elf green". So apologies, but I think conceptually the old one fits better.

"wood elf green"
And I was hoping it looked like 'nauseating eldritch green'. :-\

I kinda like the green theme for the Dagonites. Disciples, Gilldogs, Gillmen Deep Ones. I even made Deep Ones Gillmen and Deep Ones a darker green and used a modified TWoTS Freak recolour for the Sorcerers. Makes jungle missions a real pain, heh.

But if you want 'watery' guys, this one indeed doesn't work.
