RED

Finally one nice real redhead greenlander girl among the unique recruits ! That one gains a 3 file retexture (let's not be cheap) with a small face paint that reminded me somehow that knight of the zodiac ram guy (oh nostalgia). Paint that matches her unique jade/turquoise eyes. With discreet but real effective make up any cutie needs (blush, eye liner, eyelash, gloss lipstick) and few skin complexion including few cute beauty spots, and a smooth normal map to give her health. Last details would be the redhead toned eyebrows that prove she is not a dyed one.

I knew a lot of people had this girl as best kenshi waifu so i tried not to fuck up. Her body has been also reviewed and corrected with more "canon" proportions. As usual .bod file automatically installed for any new game and located in a mod fodler.

13 UNIQUE RECRUIT RETEXTURE REMAINING ! YEAY !

ESPHER

I think i really get better and better at making textures for this game. I perfectly know how to take advantage of vanilla assets and where to find them now ... I hope you will notice it particulary on this work. I didn't met Espher yet but i had his specs in database, i just could not help as he is the only southern hiver recruitable as unique recruit !

2 new texture files for this bad boy (normal + diffuse), New face paint respecting closely every color gradient of the vanilla body patterns. We could almost say it's vanilla yeah ? I added also 2 scars (above eyes + chin), i can imagin since he is a prisonner he has seen some shit. Cherry on the cake, gazolin-blue eyes to make him more special. You can guess i took age for these white and purple paint to be almost exactly the same feel as the rest of body. Speaking of which, i made a new nice .bod file for him with solid values for a hive worker ... handsome ?! Ask the queen about that.

Can't wait to meet him ! (it's been a long time i didn't play the game because of modding hard lol, it's my sacrifice for yall i guess)

HORSE

Now the famous and timeless good old skeleton paint over the face ... for Horse ! I wanted to do this for a Shek M since a long time but i just could never choose who it would be. And i thought, why not Horse ? It's a good fella, even if he is slightly a coward (hence why i didn't want to add scars on him, runners don't have scars) he could totally be the kind to paint this kind of scarry shit on his face to trick some people into thinking he is a badass dont you think ? About his previous ... vanilla ... horror full body skin ... I really hope you will agree with me here : To me, it was a mess, ugly red round paint that glitches a bit everywhere esp on horns ... Im sorry but this is unacceptable to me and my .bod file will replace this and add that nice warpaint face over it so we can forget it exists.

My bod file does not alter much things, his body was more or less within anatomical correctness range. I just put his head in a better scale and added more length to the legs and few values on face so he can be a handsome Shek guy.

Horse texture is a two file (without normal map since no scars) with a nice progressive paint all over the face with weariness and cream color tones when it reaches the skin. The paint come and go also on horn bases. He also has special unique shek gold eyes and a darker face skin tone underneath the paint which can be red-ish around the eyes.

KANG (UPDATE)

Kang warpaint color tone was updated to reach a more bloody red (that finally matches his eye color). I found it was too "orange" to my taste and this was weird at long range. I hope you don't mind but i think it's for the best.

BO

I'm back from holidays bitches ! I just met Bo but she does not want to join me ... although i find her kinda charismatic saying no to my fellas like that. So, without loosing her "tomboy" style i really tried to do a clean job here. Triple files for triple earrings, jokes aside texture, normal and mask maps fully redone. Eyes silver-gold but more silver than gold. 2 metal earrings on right, one on left. Cleaner skin, less frowning brows but not totally. Glossy lips without lipstick like "i'm a girl but not a doll". As you can see i also designed a simple but aggressive paint on her face that will surely match her "ninja" temper. It remains visible even under headgears and i really like the result. Paint is progressive with some realistic weariness. Don't forget to tweak back her skin tone toward brownish rather than blue for better result (this glitch even with my .bod file). Speaking of which, her body was corrected (many anatomy mistakes, esp on the neck size, hips and breast)

GREENLANDER M (BASIC BLUE EYES)

Someone needed a nice deep blue eyes male character for greenlander. I had one more hour of free time to kill. I am sure you guys will enjoy that ! It's not a "flawless" work, i voluntarily left some dirty stuff on his face to be closer to vanilla weirdos but yeah on another side i could not help correcting some few stuff so you can be able to make some handsomes out of that.

RED EYES GREENLANDER

Because of multiple demands and because i am a kind soul, adds a red eyes healthy face to the greenlander males. Please don't make more demands for now and understand this is hard for me to work multiple hours on that mod while other mods would needs this more. I will take more demands after i will have made all the unique recruits i wanted to cover. Thanks.

SOMAN

This one's work happened with no bad surprises. I knew exactly what i wanted for her, i don't know really why ... the fishing theme kinda got me. So, 3 files array because of these earring needing a new normal and mask map. I was saying thiner circle earrings than griffin, dark sea blue eyes, kinda bushy eyebrows, discreet or not so discreet make up (med blue-coal eyes, small blush, small eyeliner, light pink lipstick), and finally these cute mate up dots under her eyes, don't tell my wife but one of my childhood crush had come to the school with that kind of make up under the eyes and it was gorgeous i remember it perfectly ...

For the body i corrected kind of a lot of abnormal things, she ended up really better still keeping her aura and being that petite/young woman. Her original haircut was too much used by other unique recruits / characters so i changed it and i find that one even better. Hair color got little lighter too.

JEWEL

I had my afternoon free to do this one aswell ! Praise my crazyness ... i don't want to start another new kenshi game until all my mods are set, update and 100% fonctional so i have to work hard ... I hope i ll be playing this year at least haha ! Anyway, Jewel looks simple at first glance but she is not. 3 files array, new normal map with earrings bump, special night glowing greenish eyes (exclusive), very discreet make up, some beauty spots near right eye and on right cheek, also slightly (very few) glossy defined lips. Her face expression is not flat like Kiana, i wanted her to be a little less peaceful.

Since she is a scorchlander with a lot of greenlander features (not only the skin, but also many body props), BE CAREFUL WHEN EDITING THE BODY. Any .bod load will pull her 100% on scorchlander values and she will loose all greenlander hidden appearence caracteristics. To prevent this, meet the surgeon, pay for a reface, and edit manually. Don't touch to the skin tone ! (it's the trigger and if you did, reload your save). My perfect body values for her style are located in a .txt inside the related sub mod folder. Can't install her values automatically.

BIG DATA CHANGE (HOW KENSHI PEOPLE WON'T HAVE THE UNIQUE RECRUIT FACES)

I found something very cool today, i am not sure it works. You have to import the game starting this update if you want it. I tweaked values so all the unique recruits custom faces won't ever be displayed on anyone else but them in the world. It would be really cool because seeing Dr chung not-so-discreet face on someone else is kinda disapointing and immersion breaking. It should happen no more, let's cross finger and hopes it works perfectly. Like always, you will still have to get through a surgeon to put the faces on your unique recruits, there is no fix to that manoeuver.

RIDDLY

I love this character and this is precisely also why i love this game ... Tough woman, shaped like a truck, fun, charismatic. Can't wait to land that dialogue mod on her. If you turned her into a cute (japanese) bimbo, man you have no respect for art at all ! So for that big piece of girl i exceptionally kept a kinda dirty base skin, added some red paint around the eyes, reinforced dark tones, small dirty dark eye liner, darkened my usually white sclera more than usual, corrected strabisma, did a little chaos work in eyebrows, added 3 scars including that fit her original haircut, gave her brown/dark color updated eyes and a more defined mouth with dark mid-glossy lipstick ... all that in just one file since i had already all what i needed. Here you go Riddly, go break their jaws !

KNIFE

I had no room for any mistake on this one ... This is the favourite character of one of my friend who love kenshi almost as i do. So, here is knife the mighty flotsam ninja ! As you can see i changed her hair color, please understand i noticed almost all greenlander female unique recruit has that same red color ... even Shryke on scorchlander. I like redheads but damn i demand some variety and since we didn't have black haired girls in UR's (that was the same reason that makes me tweak Hobbs skin to white since we have 75%~ of brown/black skin humans, not being racist but we can use more even props). Aside from that she has a unique normal map with medium complexion which took most of the total time for making this whole retexture. Even if i turned her into a kind of beauty i still wanted her to have that little touch of savagery ! I took probably too much time to find a place for that mole under the eye haha. Also green unique eyes, corrected strabismas, and yeah that white paint on the face which was supposed to be black but result was better in white.

The body (.bod) was also nicely tweaked while keeping some of the values that make knife well ... her (like the wider angular nose, shorter height), but i could not resist giving her more hips ... she had almost manly ones. I hope you guys will enjoy that work !

Another multi face update !

HAMUT

Well, first thing you can see is that guy really went through hard time. I know we have enough crackhead faces in the game and all, but with Hamut, I just had to ! It's the character and his story ... the guy lost his wife and everything, probably sleep very badly, might aswell get drunk few times in the day if i were him. The work on his face is kind of heavy, took me a while to make this 3 files textures array, with special dark grey eyes, a scar on his right jaw coming out of his beard, a medical band on the cheek that support different skin tones, unique blond eyebrows, eye dark circles, few new bad skin complexions, It's not the most handsome of greenlanders but it fits very well the character i think i really like what i did.

THE FLAWLESS

When i worked on Hamut, i was anticipating the possible reddit heartless posters saying "OH NO again crackheads ! cry cry cry ! it sucks etc." instead of what i need aka "good work man ! keep going o/", So ! i was thinking to something that might sooze some of them : Two flawless male greenlander head textures that would make really healthy guys. I know a lot of people were wanting me to do that and today, you can finally have it ! Thanks to the previous kenshin work, i had a nice base to create a flawless normal map ... still added 2 hours of work on it, then i worked on a near perfect face texture for 2 more hours, i divided it in two a moment before finalizing, create 2 eye colour and added some little differences on eyebrows. There you go ! Have fun making handsome guys now ! (the one prison break guy like in my screenshot was completely random)

LESS DARK SCLERA ON PREVIOUS BASIC MALE EYES

I'm correcting the old work i did at the begin of this mod, little by little where someone pointed out the sclera in this game and also in my mods at begin were tending to be too dark. You guys need to hear a good new : i finally corrected all male scleras to a better white hue. No more red-ish dark eyes (except for cannibal or wingwang ofc which are crazy people). Next sclera fixes will be the rest, meaning the female.
