Updates to NPC graphics for Going Rogue?

Let's face it, when we see the Freedom Phalanx and Vindicators compared to Recluse and his patron lieutenants, something seems a bit off. Sure, some heroes still manage to look vaguely updated, such as Statesman and Positron, but how about Sister Psyche? You see her in the top left corner of the screen (if your screen is big enough), and what do you notice? She's wearing Ring shoulderpads, which her ingame character is missing since issue 1!

Plus, her hairstyle is no longer "Shy" either.

Here's a pic of her on the left, some of her CGI looks, and my attempt on the far right.



Frankly, she needs:
- a unique top and bottom which reflects light a bit (basically a Tops with Skin having Sleek option which doesn't exist ingame, along with two colour choices, so she can get two different green tones, along with skin where necessary)
- adjusted colours to fit her CGI appearance
- unique hairstyle
- probably better gloves than the closest ones I've chosen
- unique belt similiar to Ampules, but with a buckle on the front like her newer CGI appearance

Shoulder rings and combat boots exist in game to fit those parts.

Either way, her model character should be changed to at least update her boots and shoulders (and possibly gloves), and for Going Rogue, a update to her entire wardrobe should probably be done, seeing as it's reasonably likely the whole Praetorian Guard will be getting updated clothing.

Anyone else needing a costume update or other stuff?

I got one: Manticore's height in comparison to his sidekick, Swan. Either shrink her down a tad (and make her clothing more visible, everyone I know has thought she was naked at first glance!), or bump his height slightly. XD

Agreed on all counts, good show.

Still in the middle of doing a re-design for the Outcasts, and then the Trolls.
Seriously, all of the old NPCs are really starting to show their age, and could do with a damn good overhauling.

Problem pretty much comes down to design, time, and manpower. Who does the designs, when, and when is there room to get it implemented.

And yeah, your Psyche looks good except for the fact you made her face way too rounded. She's got a very thin, slim face. Everything else looks good, 'cept for the colours being a tad off.

I'd rather see them get a complete overhaul, really. Psyche's costume is particularly, in my opinion, ugly and offensive - the superhero equivalent of nipple tassles.

The New Praetorian looks are all pretty awesome, I'd like to see the "classic" NPCs get a similar update.

...I wouldn't say it's that bad. Generic, maybe, but it looks decent in the new CGI shots. But yeah, updates and revamping is GOOD, y'hear?

If anyone is in need of a desparate overhaul it's Positron. His armor is so Mark I.

I hadn't noticed those nipple plates until you pointed them out, strangely enough.

Thanks!

Manticore is short.
