Alternative versions of Mack

Well, I agree. I was doing sketchs of some hairstyles for her. I will make a post about it soon.

oddly enough, the tattoos don't bother me as much as the lack of hair. seeing a bald, muscle-bound woman is a turn off. Now a Mohawk haircut gets my motor revving, visually speaking. Could you show a Mohawk on her?

Yeah, I thought in adding a color scheme choice in the game but it pretty messed with the frame rate of the game. But just in some animations. I may return to this idea later, bring new solutons.

Speaking the truth, well, I didn't like 100% of her hair in the 1st chapter. And in the second chapter I kinda realised "something" is missing on her head. But that is me, I like hair. Bald girls creeps me out. But that's me. There is a difference between a realistic image and its cartoon/anime version. Mostly on the hair, it looks she is almost bald on a realistic image/photo but no, there still hair in there. It looks complicated, doesn't it? I need to think on this better.

Tattoo's are great looks like its coming along nicely. Though the yellow hair I don't care much for, maybe a bit longer and say, blood red or more similar to her dirty blond hair color in the other one. I like them both, could always add color options, etc. Its coming a long quite well.

Yeah I thought you did a good job with the hairstyle in the first act, the shaved head look. It really captured the look she has in ME2 very well. Did/do you not like the way her hair looks in the first act then, or were you just talking about her second act appearance where she's bald when you said you were worried she was perhaps becoming a bit ugly? Because I can't say I've ever even remotely thought her hair looked bad in the first act. I thought you did a great job with her whole look there overall (and the second act too, imo :) ).

Its relatively easy to edit the graphics of the game. I think lighter tattoos will can help it. Let's keep the same colors then. About the hair style, in the game she isn't really bald, the hair is pretty short, almost razor cut, but it still there; But since we have that anime style, we can try to make something similar. I will go back to this issue later.

Ok.

ReddyHeart

Got it.

ReddyHeart

I find it too.

I feel like those hair styles are maybe a bit *too* boyish, as in they make her look a bit too much like a guy. Plus they feel a little less "Jack/Mack" than the bald head does. Maybe having the hair be a bit shorter still, or just how it was in ME3 would look better if you wanted to add hair (where it was still half-shaved, but also still feminine). But of the looks so far I also prefer the bald head (and/or shaved head for the first act). As for the tattoos, I guess you're right, the darker ones do look best out of the ones here. The green ones do look a bit "off", maybe too light. I wouldn't have made the Braveheart connection myself, but I guess you already have. ;p Perhaps if the dark tattoos were slightly lighter, like the kind of shade the ones on her breasts and body are, it might help with not losing as much muscle detail? Or perhaps during the MBS you could take a little "creative liberty" and temporarily have the tattoos on the parts that are growing be lighter for that specific animation, just so that the detail of the muscle growth wasn't in danger of being lost, and then go back to "normal" afterwards? Sort of like a stylised effect or something, rather than them *actually* getting lighter or disappearing. Either way, just a random thought. Mack's tats certainly add an extra layer of trickiness to the huge muscle growth, but I'm confident you'll get it looking great one way or another. :)

Love the new tats, but prefer the bald head.

Boyish hair is fine, black is too

Dark tatoos only look better in my opinion. Concerning her hair, the boyish non-sayan hair style is really great. She look way more feminine with it.
