Cardassians wearing Goth makeup - say WHAT?!?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I've been playing a 'Cardassian' (ok, 'Alien' using the Cardassian parts - you know the deal...) for some time, now, and something's been bothering me about him, but I could never really pin it down.

Until now. He's wearing makeup.


Seriously - he's got a ton of black eye makeup that makes him look like some kind of Goth panda, and it's really odd. Compare a STO Cardassian to any Cardassian from the shows, and you'll see what I mean.


Lt. Commander Malor, my Cardassian CO:

DS9's Legate Damar:

Elim Garak (played magnificently by Andrew Robinson - the 'Scorpio Killer' from 'Dirty Harry'!)

See what I mean? Hopefully this can be sorted in time for Season 3, if not an earlier patch - it's not a game-breaker by any means, but it's certainly not right, is it?

    Woah! Indeed looking too emo for a Cardassian.

    Just opened up the texture and greatly reduced the shadowing around the eye socket.

    I'm pretty sure it won't be in the next patch, but will probably go out with Season 2.1

    Cheers,

    Matt

    Thanks hugely, mhighison! :) It's just a minor thing, I know, but I really appreciate it.

    (Must admit, I'm on something of a 'Cardassian Kick' at the moment, since I'm currently re-watching the entire Dominion War segment of DS9 - heady stuff, indeed!)

    Might as well offer suggestions to further improve Cardassian appearance here so ill have a go at it.

    The spoon on the forehead needs to look more like a spoon, it sound stick out when viewed from the side. So should the ridges on the forehead. And the nose option should be more defined, stick out more and have details beneath the nose itself. IMO the current options seem rushed, made worse by the lack of a neck width slider. I hate the bulk slider cause it makes the neck look too thick from a side view, and not wide.

    I noticed that too. It wasn't a problem until he started wearing all black and begain smoking. Now he's locked himself in my Captain's Quarters and is listening to The Cranes on full volume. Help!

    I bet that Cardassian listens to late 90's punk rock and writes dark poetry... great catch folks... I never even noticed...

    PS (something I've always wanted to say in the presence of his excellency): Another Vessel to Salvage... Soon I will be Grand Nagus! *malicious chuckling*
