He definitely looks weird but I am just happy to have him in the game in whatever capacity

Update:

- No more perk icon duplication on mod reloads
- Properly initialized the starting time of the first Chip making
- Moved the needed pics/icons to the UI folder to eliminate some warnings

update:
- Added new perk icon for Chillin' and Chip In, courtesy of @Witzzard

damm! i can feel the vibs of the 90´s

I believe here specificly was intentional - he has this slight rockstar stance, but overall I agree, there might be some discrepancy with some mercs. I try to make them blend and face properly, but due to the fact that the creation process usually involves a head transplant, it's not always 100% matching the direction. Sometimes I can improve that, other times it would mean full recreation.

I've seen this with a few of your body portraits that they don't match the direction the head of your character is pointing. I know it's just an aesthetic thing but it does look off. In this one you have his head pointing right and his body left. I don't know if it's worth revisiting but if you could mirror swap the direction of his body it would fit his head better.

Hmmm, just answered a similar question (I believe there is no link to a comment here), so let me copy here:
At present time I am still in creation mode, and I prefer them separated - this way people can also mix / choose what they want. But I understand that it would ease the download for people (if they don't mind having everything), so maybe in the future this could be done. (Maybe after I burn out, ie. not have to actively maintain separate mercs + pack)
One thing though: I have not experimented with it yet, but this "mod collection" thing on Steam - is it not solving similar problems?

Random thought Key, ever consider making a merc bundle?

I use Stable Diffusion. There's lot of iterations, adding/removing to the prompt, selections, improving upon already generated models, inpaintings, etc.

The portraits are a amazing. What program do you use and what is your process generally speaking?

Great stuff. Static is the old-time MERC I miss most in JA3.

Awesome, top work!
maybee consider time interval for Microchips 7 days :)
