Hi,
First time here. I didn't know where to post this and the skincity forum seems kinda dead...so here goes. I've been toying with the idea of a Necris since early last year, but with no modelling skills and waht I feel was a poor selection of models to reskin (none really suited the Necris style) I gave up on the idea. Now, with the release of UT2004 I've been able to use the excellent new player models to finally create a Necris team. The pack will include 8 Necris (4 male, 4 female). I've pretty much finished the first male, and his alternate head (making a total of 2 Necris complete). I may improve on him some more later, once I get used to the Necris style. I've ranted on a fair bit, so heres a preview:

I think the face is too heavy. In UT, the Necris all appeared quite slender, with fine features.

They're young Necris, so they're skin is gonna look 'bolder' since the years have yet to spoil them :p

I'm going to copy this thread over to the Skincity WIP forum. It may be a little dead now, but it'll only stay that way if it doesn't get populated!

Good idea :D

It may not be typical Necris style, but I like the face.

wow!

that looks great! hurry up and finish the pack!!
:D

you know, it looks fine the way he is. You figure, the way ut2k3/4 comes across as being a big leap forward with more agression and roughness--he fits the "feel" of the game, to me at least. With UT, it had a different "feel" to the game...ok, never mind, that only made sense in my own head. :p
One suggestion: TATTOOS!!!!!!!

how about some black tribal tatts on the face???

that would roxxors!! :D

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll be keeping the face as it is (I say again they're much younger Necris and they also have to look a bit darker/meaner to match the updated Xan/Malcom/Brock etc etc). Heres a picture of the alternate head:

Thanks :D

For the next male (which will use the 'Garret' model, unless someone can suggest a better one), I think I will add more armour to the body since this male doesnt have very much.

The face, even without the scars does look good :)
Not every Necris would have to look like a tattoo & scar fashion-freak. Especially the young ones shouldn't feature as much because they still would have to prove their worth.

The teamcolours themselves look a bit dull.

I think the all-black clothes are a bit too dull as well. It's not that they need to glow in ultra-bright hot-pink colours, but they do need a few contrasting dark colours to give it a bit of depth.
Try using a few bits of dark blue, red or green on the armour and beltbuckles ...

What about the team colours? They look 'gritty' - maybe a little bit less would improve the overall effect. I like the way some Skaarj models have relatively small patches in team colour. I ain't unhappy with them now. How about more frontal pics?

The black skin could maybe use a little more contrast at the breast, maybe. Black on black is so hard to distinguish. The legs are fine.
