Katrya, Cathar Jedi 1

Here is my review:

Creativity: 10/10

Execution: 9/10

Appearance: 9/10

Overall: 9/10

First of all I want to say this: I love this character's back story. It's really cool to see a character from a fan-made Star Wars story brought to life via playermodel. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your SW story, Turquoise! Now on to the nitty gritty stuff. This skin was very well done. The author includes three different versions for us to enjoy, so lets take a look at each:

Light Side

This is by far my favorite of the pack. All the skins have nice shaders that give the character a nice, realistic sheen to the clothing of the character. The eyes of the model were a piercing green, which I liked. Many authors just use default eyes for their model. I also liked how the author transformed the face of the model to look more cat-like. Good job! I really like the way the author approached the skin of the model. The skin was not simply desaturated. It literally looked like fur, making it a good representation of a Cathar Jedi. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cathar

Dark Side

Not much changes visibly in this version. The clothing of the playermodel turns a distinctive dark Sith color. It would have been nice to see some dark side corruption to the face, or just yellow eyes. But overall, still very good.

Shadow

This was the version I was most skeptical of. When I saw the screenshot, It looked like the author had simply desaturated the face of the model, and upped the contrast. Not so. This model screams evil. The model has glowing red eyes which are quite terrifying, so I loved them. The torso, again, was just a recolor, but that is OK. This time, the author clothes the Jedi with a green tunic. This was very well done.

This skin also has some more surprises for us. It has team support, and bot support. The bot support was superb! The author had written entirely new bot information, giving the bot new things to say. The team support, however, was not so good. As you can see from the screenshots, only the torso color was changed. This really looks weird, especially on the shadow skin. I would have loved to have seen some more creativity here, It looked like they were just simply recolored to me. But still, kudos for even adding team support. I would have loved to see some new sounds for this model, but the Jedi female sounds that were used weren't so bad, so I'm not terribly disappointed. I also like the fact that this has full customization support via the custom character screen. Play with it in the SP campaign or simply add a little dash of color to your Jedi. Good work here. One last thing that I want to touch on. The icons. They were pretty awful. They were all distorted and the pose used was the default root animation which doesn't look right. Love to see some more work in this area.

Overall this is a great model and is worth keeping in your base folder for some time. Thanks for the hard and long work that it took to bring this to us!
