    skulk looks like a dog, gorge looks like a pig, lurk looks like a bird, onos looks like a rhino, fade looks like a bear kinda. If anything the fade should look more bear-like in order to fit in better with the rest of the aliens.

    Imho Mr. Epic nailed it with his Photoshop edits.

    The revealed Fade model makes him look "stupid" with his short jaw and bony head. He doesn't look menacing at all, and that's what the fade should be all about.
    I like how all the new alien models have a somewhat consistent look and I really think they are great, except for the fade. When I look at his face the first adjectives that come to my mind are stupid, slow, old and bulky. Those are not adjectives that should be associated with the Fade...

    The design of the Fade in NS1 was the least consistent of all the other alien designs. It didn't really seem like an animal, just some humanoid-shaped <i>thing</i> with claws, weird tubes, and a flowery thing. That's what really stuck out about the design, and what the new design is missing. Combined with the new blink effects, the Fade doesn't seem like it should be an animal like the other Kharraa species. It should just be....a <i>thing</i>.

    was thinking about changing the eyes aswell to look more badass, but that just sums it up. +1

    this is NS2 not NS1. it's a commercial product, consistency in art direction is more expected now than it was in the past.
    dont get me wrong i agree the fade looks goofy. i think it should maybe be a bit more bear-like, with shorter legs and a thicker neck/body.

    The fade's face looks like a gorges, which doesn't seem right. The movement is great but he just kinda looks goofy.

    Is it just me or does this fade feel small compared to the ns1 fade? Overall i dont hate this design although i wished the eyes were more non-human. The blink is awesome :D

    And there he is.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    This is a much better look in my opinion. Nice work. Hopefully they'll make some changes.

    How about making him look even more angry, while getting back to basics with the all famous <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/images/portal/nsbanner/banner01.jpg" target="_blank">Fade eye from Natural-Selection</a>? Thanks to Mr. Epic's liquefy skills, I could actually make this happen! I drew in his body a bit as well for good measure...

    Again as in the video as shown on page 3

    And now back to basics... Mr. Epic's liquefy skills combined with some drawing of stuff in there. Ah well at least it gave me a reason to whip out mah Intuos4!

    Wow. That does look a lot better. If UWE have time to do this then it should absolutely be done.

    Nice Kouji!

    His head does look a lot better smaller and streamlined.

    It just dawned on me, after seeing the two together. There was more then <b>liquify</b>* going on there as well, mah apologies Mr. Epic!



    *
    What the heck is up with spelling check to kick my word "liquify" into "liquefy" anyways, weird mutli-English-grammar thingies are English...

    They have the render up on the non community site.

    Everyone agrees the eyes look goofy because they look goofy, I really hope they fix the fade up to make him look a bit less like Barney and more like the Fade.
  • ArcadianArcadian Join Date: 2008-11-30 Member: 65617Members
    Fade looks fine, it just needs its eyes a glowing.
  • steppin'razorsteppin'razor Join Date: 2008-09-18 Member: 65033Members, Constellation
    Overall, great. Love the animation, body shape, movement, blinking, swipe. The face needs a bit of a tweak, I think like everyone has been saying the eye's are pivotal. Less human/pupil and more foreign the better. Possible a thinner jaw might help as well.

    That is a much better angle/shot. I think it looks awesome, especially in game. The new fade is NOT the old fade, and redoing the head is not necessary. Give it time, give them time, and if all else fails those who can't give it up could try to replicate the old fade/mockup for some mod in the future.
