Not so. As I said, we want a nonstandard look -- that means we want to keep the Taman, but we don't it to look exactly the bloody same as the X-COM sectoid, which the submitted head from that thread did.

Regards,
Winter

Flying Steel:
Would you folks mind if the Tamans' legs were digitigrade?

Realistically speaking, it would probably make them faster runners than humans, but slower swimmers.

BTAxis:
The Tamans are supposed to be comparatively weak, physiologically inferior to humans but with a superior mental capacity. So they'd be relatively easy to deal with at the start of the game, but then they'd become a threat again once the aliens started to use psi.

I was speaking more generally. And I still think that it is generally accurate that there is no artistic direction from the devs. There is only you and BTAxis coming in after the fact saying yes or, more often, no.

This is true, to really be able to attract and manage the art contributions you are requesting, it is important to have all of your concepts' requirements written down ahead of time and accessible to artists. For existing content that you wouldn't mind having replaced or improved at some point in the future, it is very helpful to list the features that you want to keep and the things you would like to see changed and how.
