I like Bastila's new hairstyle very much. Over the years it's pretty unlikely that she's going to have the same hairstyle as in k1... plus this current hairdo reflects her age perfectly IMO. If you lean toward "Mature Bastila" I think she's going to look like a mom or something, not a respected Jedi.
Hi I'm new here but I was watching RoR since few months on Moddb and at first a didn't like Bastila's new look because she was ugly but now I must admit that its good choice to change her and now she looks mature. Sorry for my English
I love Bastila's new look. The robes are also great, I like the old and new meshed together nicely. As you've noted thou the eyebrows may need to be slightly altered. Currently I think their shape give her an annoyed or menacing look.
Since I think that this new look is fantastic for a grown up (but not grown old) Bastila, I don't want to change anything. The only thing I'd consider, is easing up on the seriousness of her eyebrows (but they look much better in conversations than in static screenies).
Yeah, I was going to say that the eyebrows looked too serious and almost aggresive. They might need to be tilted up juuust a little bit.
Also, is this set before or after Bastila has her child?

If I may add my ever so humble opinion, I like the new Bastilla, its just I think her face makes her look grumpy or angry etc. I like the blending of new and old in her outfit (perhaps you could add some battle scars? I haven't looked at it in depth though so they may already be there. Or maybe you can have her wear different outfits at different points?). I also like the new hair as it shows she's grown since K1, which is good, especially since shes now an important council member. Thank you for all your time and listening to my ramblings.
P.s. I am very excited for the demo
To know that one has breathed easier because you have lived is to have succeeded.
It's good to see new members to Lucas Forums, and humbling to know that it is interest in our mod that inspired them to join. Welcome
Thanks to everyone for their input about Bastila. I haven't been able to make any changes yet, but I will consult with VarsityPuppet soon.
In the meantime, I haven't been idle. I actually got a chance to work on some characters this weekend. A while ago (years? sigh), I saw some of the supposed concept art for Kotor III. I have always hoped to work some of these concepts into RoR, since this mod is an unofficial K3. In the art was a rugged, tired looking man wearing a greenish and orange uniform. Recently, Logan asked me for a Czerka contact, one that will have missions for your party member who was a Czerka emplyee. So, I set about adjusting a head texture, and tweeking the standard Czerka officer uniform. I don't know what the name of this concept character was going to be (the image was saved with the name Star-Wars_vargas_08.jpg), but I'm guessing "Vargas" until someone can prove me wrong (see this thread). It's a good starting point for a name, at any rate.
Logan also asked me for some characters to wear Dark Jedi robes like Cain Thrall. I decided to modify some Trandoshans (rather than more humans), and here they are.
Redrob, are you aware that the concept art (and therefore your Vargas remake for Czerka) is wearing Nazi paraphenalia? The collar device that looks like a Roman numeral 2 is called a Litzen collar device. Just wanted to give you a heads up before some accused you of being a sympathizer! LOL
As of 28APR13: I released a new small texture mod! Check it out here.

No, I didn't know that, although I've seen similar collar treatments on some other military uniforms. I don't know how much of a difference it makes to keep the collar as-is (how many players would make the connection?). It's not like I'm putting a big swastika on him.
Hmm, how to keep the art similar to the concept, but not similar to the Litzen? Dang Nazis, still ruining everything
You should release this on the anniversary of KotOR 2's release, as this December is the 7th anniversary of KotOR 2 meaning that the next few years is the same space of time between when the game is set and when it's released
Nazis will always fall short of the win, even in space
As some fans of RoR may remember, there is a Wookiee on the Jedi council. Yeah, I know Wookiee Jedi goes agains George Lucas canon, but until he phones me up and asks to make RoR a true part of canon, we're gonna mod it our way for fun . On that note, I've finally gotten around to skinning some robes on a Wookiee model. The problem is coming up with a color combo. Here are some of the options I've come to:
Show spoiler
Let me know what your first impressions are (and why), then I'll let you know which one I'm leaning towards. Maybe you can sway my mind
The first ones fur looks a bit too dark side-y. I had difficult seeing at first the difference between the 2nd and 3rd but the 3rd is best and the 4th looks like a nightgown (It looks like satin or silk, sexy!)
Not much of a difference between the first three imho. I'd go with 4, just so it's not brown on brown on brown. I think the green gives it a nice balance.

Wow, impressive! I'm totally gonna support you, if Georgie will call you !
I really like the last one, the green one. Green always fits a close-to-nature mood which fits Wookies in the first place .
Though, I think the fourth model could use a bit of tweaking (to make it more awesome). For example make the green less satin-esque and more of a green brown. I took the image and adjusted the robe a bit in photoshop to better demonstrate what I am thinking (mind you this was done in like 3-5 minutes)

Now this robe color scheme may look better with one of the other wookiee models...I don't know just my opinion

I agree. The dark fur looked too much like Hanharr.

Yeah, I was trying to avoid the over use of brown, and I thought the green would be nice like tree leaves. Unfortunately, the bright green just isn't working; it stands out too much and grabs too much attention in the council chambers. And, yeah, it does look more like a bath robe than a Jedi robe.

You're right, that green you made less saturated does make a big difference. The third robe I did was the brown one with a touch of the green in it. Same idea, but more brown whereas yours is more green.

Thanks everyone, there was some good input here (especially the reasons for why you liked something ). I think I'm gonna go with the third one (it was already my favorite, but now I'm convinced). The whitish fur gives him a look of aged wisdom, and the brown (with a touch of green) robe looks like a natural Jedi robe. The small size of it makes him look like he'd rather not wear clothes at all (like most Wookiees), but he grudgingly wears something like the traditional Jedi attire (Belaya would be proud ).
I think I liked the third one most because those robes look like the most like really worn leather. The older skin for the Wookiee himself sealed the deal.

This. The third was (imo) the best robe I could see a Wookiee Jedi wearing. Too bad lucas said there could be no more Wookiee jedi....stupid G-canon.
Yeah!!
