The time has come, the Echani are almost ready to be added to the K1 Alien Pack.
These skins were, for the most part, made by me. The Echani textures in the K1EP are by RedRob41 and, I assume, aren't part of the modder's resource element of that mod.
Below is an example of an Echani made by me. Since Brianna is supposed to be a hybrid of a human and an Echani (The human Arren Kae as the mother and the Echani Yusanis as the father) I wasn't inspired by her appearance when making the Echani, instead, I was inspired by the appearance of Raskta Lsu.
This next skin is based on Daris Solomon's texture from BOSSR. As that mod can be used by modders as per SilverEdge9's blanket permission, I took Solomon's head and modified it to look like someone else despite still using the same head model.
Below is the third Echani appearance, it isn't too visible but as you can see if you were to install the Devaronian install you'd get both species side by side.
Since the cut Echani in the Ahto City Bar already has a UTC file, there are no extra compatibility patches for the K1 Alien Pack's Echani install and the RC-K1CP which will soon restore the Echani. Just install the RC-K1CP before the K1 Alien Pack's Echani and both the vanilla Echanis and the restored Echanis shall have Echani heads.
There are 3 male Echani heads added with 8 NPCs across the entire game being converted into Echanis. Female Echanis may be added in a future update and named NPCs may get their own unique Echani heads in the Galaxy of Faces mod. If you think the K1 Alien Pack adds too few Echani, don't worry - the Echani are few only because the K1 Alien Pack will add more aliens throughout the game so no one alien species will be overrepresented.
The K1 Alien Pack's Echani update shall come with another new alien species which I hope to share here once those ones are ready.
Stay tuned!
