DX9 (modders resource) Skin - Virakotxa's Giger Engineer

Description
My first SE mod. All feedback appreciated!

Thanks to Ovenmit, helping me understand how to pack this things!

And to Corodius to help me fix the thrusters after the player update.

A "simple" re-texture of the astronaut's suit; a biomechanical engineer! in two flavors made on the style of Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger.

Erased version B, since the single one is now able to change colors in the picker. You can get a full black or white one, now... "Who turned off the lights?"

Christ, that's not the engineer.... that's an astronaut who got eaten by the Vashta Nerada....

I see what you mean... But this is just a re-skin. As far as a texture replacement can go. I can model, and have made some Giger inspired stuff:

Dune's stil-suits were also Giger's design, btw... If somebody made a tutorial in how to create a full-body character, I would have gone all the way. There were not that many SE skins made when I published this... So as a "fanboy", bit harsh.

The problem I see here - and it might be just a "fanboy" point of view - is that a simple re-texture is not enough for a Giger astronaut suit. Because Giger's surrealism is more based in his abstract shapes.

Example:

Even though you used his colour template i have another image in my head when i hear "Giger astronaut suit" :)

But as I model as shit I cant offer help here or make it better at all - good day sir.

Well... Sorry you two didn't like it! But it's 100% made out of Giger stuff. So it looks pretty gigery to me.
