@Last of the Order: If you want to bundle them up into a single mod you have my permission :)

Love the Crimson Cult skins. Any chance you'll group them into a singular all-in-one pack for download? I know we can sub to each individually, but it would be nice to have them in a single mod for a tidier mod list when playing.

If you do not have plans to do so, would it be alright for me to do so, crediting you for all works?

@polenya Thanks a lot!

@Father Nicholas: sorry, didn't notice the comment, yes you can use the FX

@polenya?

@Skyfall Terminus: Yeah, that's totally fine!

hello, I'm planning to make a compability patch between this skin & legendary crusader skin, is it ok with you?

Hey can i use one of your FX in a mod i am making

@Decarabia: I'm aware of this problem, but I don't know if there's a fix since all the skins share a single fx folder. If you can access the workshop folder on your computer you can delete the fx folder in the crusader mod (or any crimson court skin with fx) to cancel the red effect.

I noticed that the textures from the FX folder work for all textures including the original ones. This is not so critical, but is there a solution?

@Strider1207: Edits to the character model requires a program called Spine, but it's quite expensive (300$), so i'm just sticking to what i'm given Happy holidays to you too! have a safe new year :)

I hope that problem with your computer will be solved soon. Also if you can manage to fix original silhouette issue, here is additional concept of blade form: https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Vindicator_(H5) . And, by the way, Happy Holdidays! :)

@Strider1207: I'll note down these suggestions. I'm currently on a hiatus until I get a new computer (I got all the skins backed up). hopefully the technician will be available after new years celebrations. I thought of adding spikes to the helmet, but I'm limited to the original silhouette of the characters, going over the lines even a bit can result in weird graphical problems (i had this problem when fitting the skirts of the PD and Vestal, and when fitting the hat on the HWM).

polenya, I have another few suggestions if you're still interested in:
1) concerning sword there is mod called 'The Duchess': https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1744414212 , you could borrow some elements from it. Here is my concept: sword's hilt can have colour like duchess's helm or rusty (in order to give it bit 'decayed' appearence), vampire's eye must be left untouched, original skin element (between blade and hilt) could be returned but darker. Also it would be nice to return original sword's blade but make it darker and give red glowing effect like the duchess's sword has or just cover it with blood;
2) additionally you could improve helmet, in order to give it original appearance like in 'TBC' by adding scars (on visor and breathing gaps) and make little spikes on helmet's peak (see my link on 'Battle Scarred Helm').

@Nepnep: I'm afraid that if I change the sword too much, it'll look too much like a regular crusader skin rather than a "crimson court" one (since it incorporates a vampire nose and eye). but i'm open to hearing suggestions, if you have a specific design in mind that may fit the theme

@Strider1207: thank you for suggesting the recolour, i'm really liking how the crusader is looking myself :)

Big thanks for recolored version!

love the new color, though could you change the style of sword too?

@Strider1207: thats a great idea! i'll probably recolour it after I'm done with the PD skin. Butchers Circus does have some really good colours to work with, ill implement it more in future skins.

Excellent skin! I would only suggest that author make armor a little bit darker and scarred in order to give it more sinister appearance. As example you could use 'Battle Scarred Helm' from TBC DLC: https://darkestdungeon.gamepedia.com/File:Inv_trinket_battle_scarred_helm.png .

@Nepnep: If I finish doing all the CC skins, I might make CoM skins as well (its something ive considered before). making a 17 skins set is a pretty daunting task, but im going at it slow and steady. Ill probably post something on the DD reddit once i have a finished PD sprite that i can put on a background :)

also excited to see the PD cant wait

i dont know how far youll take the crimson cult skins, i know doing all of them is asking a lot but if ya do awesome.
if not have you thought of doing a similar thing for COM like idk corrupted shard merc characters?
kinda wish red hook gave us a official COM character like they did with the flagg, but yeah i thought it would be pretty cool to see

@Nepnep: I really appreaciate the feedback!
While making the skin i tried out a few different ideas on how to make the crusader more monsterous, but ended up scrapping most of them. I went with this more subtle design because i liked the idea that the things unspoken sometimes be quite scary as well. At first glance, he looks quite ordinary, but his grotesque tools (a sword made out of the nose of a vampire, both sword and banner decorated with vampire eyes) lead to the realization that this normality is just a front. Under the helmet he's just as ugly as the other vampires, but clings to some semblance of justice by hunting them down (or is it just cruel revenge for getting infected?).

I'm planning to do a shrew-like design for the plague doctor, which should be interesting! I think she has the potential to be one of the more visually unsettling characters since i can actually give her a long mosquito nose without breaking model. Its a really weird thing to get excited about lol

i like the subtile ness, though i was hoping for a bit more change, or idk a more wicked sword, like some kinda bloodletting kind. never the less i love it an appreitcate your hard work cant wait to see how you handle the PD
