>>2903324>are you planning on trying to have the artstyle consistent with the rest of the game's art though?I don't think that the inklings are going to look sci-fi at all. Maybe a few of the idols will. My main intent is that art style looks internally consistent within the species.
A lot of the lewd portrait mods don't look very sci-fi. They're mostly nude women or monstergirls. I've actually replaced all of the default species with lewd replacements. Or I more precisely that's how I had things setup. My mods are presently out of date and I'll need to fix that before I play again.
With my mods, I wanted to make it possible to visibly distinguish between different pop types based on outfit. I'll also include a few dozen different portraits per archetype to reduce the birthday problem of different leaders having the same face.
I don't have any kind of mockups of what the inklings will look like. Here's a screenshot of what some of the elves look like in game. The inklings will look mostly the same in that their portrait backgrounds will be replaced with transparency and their outlines will be slightly feathered so that they blend into the UI more smoothly. So the inklings will look something like this within the game, except instead of a dress uniform it will be the metal-slug look for their military pops. I tried a few gundam and legend of galactic heroes style uniforms for the inklings, but I wasn't satisfied with the output.
If you want to use these elves, the mod is called "stable elves" and you can find it on loverslab. It should work with the latest patch. Nobody is complaining that it isn't working. Well, except for one guy who I think just installed his mods wrong.
