SR Femme Fatale Portrait Pack Volume 2

This is the largest portrait mod I've done and will do.. its the mid ground between the temperature management specialists and the femme fatale pilots.

A rework of my second portrait mod, utilising what I have learnt to get better quality more consistent images but also more character, colour and individuality into the portraits.

Whereas the first pack would mostly have suited the professional look, this one contains a more eclectic mix of characters that I think you would find working as mercs in this world. Rookies still wet behind the ears through to veterans who have perhaps stared down the barrel of an AC10 one too many times. Pirates, criminals, cultists, down-on-their-lucks, gladiators, fame chasers, hereditary warrior classes, adrenaline junkies, hardnuts, jokers and mirthless quiet types. With all the colours, styles and attitudes that could entail.

This mod (and all portrait mods) work much better with HUD DIY . It allows you to customise various aspects of the HUD, including the size and position of portraits when comms appear on screen. Results will vary depending on your screen resolution. You need the main DIY file plus the Portraitedit optional file from that page.

Two packs..

Pack A - these are the ones that are starting to get just slightly outside of the realms of credibility when it comes to realism. I dont think they are unrealistic, they are lore friendly - in the books, due to the extreme heat inside a battlemech the pilots often wore very little, a great deal less than they are wearing here in fact. Some of these probably would qualify for the main FF pack but from a subjective perspctive they either had a little too much skin on display, that the clothing was more form over function or that the armour was starting to be a bit 'boob armoury' although usually fairly subtly.

The second pack is moving along the scale of realism and credibility. These ones are starting to break the fourth wall a bit. The sexiness isn't incidental/situational its overt, they were trying to be sexy rather than just happened to be. Cleavage is more pronounced, poses may be slightly on the nose, boob armour is starting to make a very noticeable appearance. But the tone is still relatively realistic and there isnt anything crude or over the top.

Packs A & B are comaptible with each other. There are two versions of each, one with backgrounds, one without (the NB version).

Booster pack 1 - mixture of A & B styles. 200 additional portraits made with new AI models and tools to create more varied and characterful images. This pack has a new feature in that the portraits are available for the game to use as enemies. I figured if they appeared as enemies as well as hireable mercs you will get more use out of them. Whilst these are intended to fit into the mostly realistic fashion, some of them are in because the boob armour tha
