The Black marine

With having alien lifeforms and even female marines coming up i felt there was something missing...a black marine.
So i took the liberty to make a little tweak to the existing male face texture in order to change the appearance of the marines.

The final result looks like this:


It still uses the same male_face2.dds but only slightly differently colored. It took me 3 times until it looked good ingame.

The first result was a little dark:



Here you can se before and after picture, i initially just draw right over the texture but went into higher detail as you can see in the second version:



If there would be anything i could change then i possibly would add more prominent mustache. Nothing over the top.
Or even better warp the actual 3D model of the face slightly to fit texture in a different way.

This did not take long at all and if an armature could pull this off i don't see any reason to why there would not be some variations of different demographics.
Sry for spelling or expressing myself wrong in advance English is my 3rd language.

You can se it already in action on the 32 Man server on NS2 but if there is demand enough i might add it to steam workshop as a small separate mod.
