Here's something I did yesterday/today, I'm not gonna change it (Unless it doesn't work in game) so don't ask for requests, however, you are more than welcomed to criticize it.

Somehow, its head just looks wrong. Other than that, great job.

its face is all wrong, you just used the primitive humanoid model and reskinned it, those models are in the primitive menu. now that i look at it, those are probably just textures ripped from JA.

That's exactly what I did. I was bored as hell, and I made it in 1 hour. Maybe I'll make a real one later.

Well, I'm not even sure that'll work ingame...I mean, the fingers kind of have to be curved down a little I think.

No offence, but without the correct snout, it looks like a human with a terrible skindisease to me.

ooooh - THATS the key! :P

I was ondering what made it look so human :)

JJ, as suggested, a more... appearing snout would be perfect for another time when you feel like it :) Shouldn't the eyes be more out to the sides? If I recall right it's more insect like than humanlike. humans have the eyes pointing forwards, where insects have larger eyes more to the sides. + I think I've seen some Rodians with larger eyes.

Mini' I'm starting to get annoyed by you always tends to start off with stupid lines such as the one you said in this topic:
">>its face is all wrong<<, you just used the primitive humanoid model and reskinned it,"

So it's wrong, huh? Then what about actually saying it instead of letting other people say it? You can't just say it looks wrong and then don't say why.

It'd look a lot better if you'd just make the eyes bigger :P
I sloppely did this in paint in a minute, to show that just a texture would make it look quite a lot better :D

Yeah its pixelized it's just to get my point across ;) I know this pic looks very very bad cause I did a sucky job, but I think changing the textures a bit would make quite the difference.

Make the eyes bigger, put the mouth down, make them 2 lines like I did, and it's way better.

Yeah a puckery snout will make all the difference. Once that's done you're looking at a basic humanoid otherwise so it'll be ready to be a local. :D
