Gathering constructive criticism and opinions.
As usual, I'm very interested in hearing what everybody thinks. Especially on the helmet, as I feel like I could've gone more infested with it.

P.S. Send help and acorns, I'm still utterly garbage at posing characters.

It looks alien

I really like it, it could be cool if you added more of those small glowy tentacle things in the back of the head as well, but really like it, keep up the good work man, hope this gets into the game! :D

Looks good, i like the choice of colors, recognizable infested patterns and overall mixture of details on armor.
Although the helmet looks somewhat similar to Nidus, as for me. What i always liked about deafult Volt's head is its bald, roundy upper part. So i think it would look better if you'd make a central part of your head wider, but not disproportionate to the lower half.

Looks a bit too plain, even for Volt

I think it needs something that will make people realise it's infested. For example now if you color it let's say solid red then it will just look like a normal volt with some weird hair. Other than that it's a cool skin. :Owl:
Pretty cool skin, and im excited for more great volt skins but i think you should try to make him look a bit more different from the regular skin, in my opinion he still looks pretty similar to the regular skin. The helmet is perfect though :D

Problem with making Volt very different from default Volt is that Volt, being one of two first ever made frames (second one is Excalibur) has really strangely made mesh and extremely long, absolutely featureless, flat, sausage body. I was sitting for literal hours, trying to come up with design on his chest, which would not be just "big flat plane, going down" like on normal Volt. Plus his skirt is permanently attached to his butt, making it very hard to bake good textures underneath.

Volt was, without a doubt, THE most frustrating frame to work with to date. I will look into redesigning the current helmet, though. I feel a bit "guilty" that I didn't go as nuts as I could've with it. Will take some time, though.

I think as a whole the skin is great. When it comes to utilizing the frame without the helmet it doesn't look as organic as I'd want it to be. It would be really nice if they let you change the shoulder model as those could easily be short tentacles, but unfortunately DE doesn't allow that sort of thing. It is nice the way it is, and I can't reccomend any direct changes.
I love the helmet and textures but I really think you should remove those knees. They have always put me off from using volt and it'd be great to get a skin without them.

Can't remove the knees. Cannot change any single vertex on the mesh, in fact. Can't change the shoulder guards either, strictly prohibited by DE, because then model needs to be re-rigged and re-animated, which is 40% of work and is entirely on DE in that case.

Desperately throws money at the screen "Why isn't this in my inventory yet?!"
I was unaware this was suppossed to be infested, when I looked at the thumbnail of the helmet I thought "This might be cool". I clicked the thumbnail and saw the skin and thought "the body looks cool, kinda infested looking".

Volt has always has had a simpistic, understated look, so I think adding much more to the helmet would make it over the top for Volt, but then again I didn't relize it was an infested skin untill I saw the body.

I think the head shape is a little squished for Volt's normal head size, makes him look just a little odd imo

Probably just an angle I picked. His head is actually quite wide. Here's a WiP shot from about a week ago, to showcase just how wide his nogging is if looked from straight up https://puu.sh/ywHVG/bde9a8ae5d.jpg

It was changed since then pretty significantly in proportiongs, but his forehead is very roughly equal to default Volt's girth.

P.S. Actually... looking at his head on screenshot it does kinda looks a bit squished. Infested! It's infested, infested are weird! Their brains are located in their stomach. That's canon now. I swear.

IMO looks way better than Volt Deluxe. Deluxe just looks like it was t-bagged and stomped by a platoon of horny pink Rhinos. With crotches on fire.
