Mission Vao as...the Exile


Ferc Kast

Recommended Posts

The other day when I was bored (Yes; I know. I shouldn't be bored if I have a couple other WIPs to work on. :xp:) , I decided that I wanted to do a random skin. I looked through the heads in TSL's assets & in appearance.2da; Without word or warning, I decided to make Mission Vao to be a playable Exile. I still have to do a few skins & portraits, but I thought that I had made enough progress to show her off as a WIP. :^:

 

 

So, here is her default head:

I based the skin tone & lips color on the texture for Mission in K1. Though, I used the regular Twi'lek model for it.

 

Release date, you ask? :wid:

It vaguely reminds me of Mission but still doesn't look like her. I suggest lightening up her skin tone a little and making her face look a little more... young. Mission was 14 in Kotor and this Twi-lek looks much older then her

 

I was thinking the same thing at first, but then it occurred to me that she is several years older by the time TSL takes place. It would really be interesting to see some of the other characters aged a little for TSL. I'm still miffed that they did not bring Jolee back as a prominent TSL character.

 

Anyway, I would love to see an older Zaalbar to go with her. Maybe he could replace the irritating Goto.......

 

[/shameless hint]

 

That was a rambling way of saying: I like it! Nice Job!

What is it between KotOR and TSL, 5 years? I think according to this mod Mission gained more like 15. ;)

 

Also, 5 years to a Wookiee is nothing. Zaalbar would probably not look any older.

 

Inyri has a point and I agree with him. Now, the mod is very interesting, and you could make it complete by adding Zaalbar as e-var said!;)

 

Great progress till now, Ferc, this mod is a sure hit before it's even done!:D

What, and Lena was 29 in KotOR I? 'Cause Mission looks (roughly) the age of Lena with my skin. IIRC, Lena was younger than 29.

 

@Everyone Else: Thanks for the wonderful feedback. :D

I think your maths is a little faulty. 14+15=29 not 39! And she should only look 19.

 

It's not that she looks too old perhaps, but too mature. Sure she isn't a kid anymore, but you would think she would retain some of her mischeivous qualities, and they just don't show in that face IMO.

 

To be fair it could just be the model not the skin.

 

Edit: Maybe try arching the eybrows a little and giving her mouth a bit more of a smile. It might make her look a litle less serious.

Or, Mission has had a very hard life in the 5 years since the first game.

 

The brutal captivity by Trandoshan Slavers. The daring escape. The desperate mercenary years. The torrid romance (after age 18, of course). The bitter rivalry that developed between Zaalbar and Hanharr. That'll add ten years to anyone:D

1) TBH, it could be that... nvm; I don't want to finish that sentence, to avoid digging a pit for myself. :indif:

2) So, I'm supposed to edit the model to have her smile all the time? 'Cause the expressions of any head model (PC or non-PC) can change from second to second. :) As for the eyebrows, they're exactly where the other female Twi'lek eyebrows are. So, I don't think I'll be changing that either.

 

No offense intended, of course.

Instead of replacing G0-T0, couldn't you just make a 'puppet' Zaalbaar, like Bao's remote?

 

It would be kinda almost cheating with a wookie and two other characters along with Mission during gameplay... But then you wouldn't have to replace any party members.

 

I'm confused. :confused: This is just a mod that'll restore Mission to TSL as a PC.

 

While I'm posting anyway, (props to TG for fixing the "brown"), here is the final version of the Sith Eyes:

Evil Mission Exile

Sith Eyes:

Notice the difference between that and what you've got.

 

Ferc personally likes to make his own variations of "Sith Eyes." (I should know. I'm usually the one who fixes the eyes to make them better) I have both images open in Firefox, and, other then the yellow being slightly darker, there really isn't that much of a difference.

Other than the fact that they still look brown (if slightly more orange) in game and don't look terrifying in the least. :)

 

IMO, Sith Eyes aren't meant to be terrifing. When I watched RotJ, and saw the Sith eyes, I didn't feel anything. When I saw Anakin's sith eyes, I felt not much TBH.

Now, the direction that Obsidian and Bioware took Darkside Transitions was a good one on the road to "scariness."

Oh right, I got confused... You couldn't give her a puppet, because she's the PC... Right, sorry 'bout that... I was thinking Zaalbaar... Mission... I don't know. XD

They do still look very brown in-game. There's not enough contrast between the red and the yellow.

 

I (reluctantly) agree that, it does appear to be a bit too... orangish (not brown ;)) so, I updated the tga file with more yellow eyes. Hopefully, they'll look better. If not, I'm good with more tweaking.
