Update the Nikko head (in TSL)?

[Sith Holocron]

One of the heads in TSL of the character Nikko was based on a real life person who won a contest to appear in the game.  As far as modding going, I know folks have been playing fast and loose with the aesthetics of the game. That said, I think it would be a major misstep to veer away from using the guy's likeness. Especially as he's still game to be referenced in remasters as seen in the attached post on X.

My thought on the matter is that folks should take this guy up on his offer and get updated photos so we have a good reference to work from. I suppose one should one reach out to the guy if they are actually willing to put in the work. (No need to inundate the guy's inbox if you're not going to make a mod of it, right?)

I sent a message to him on Reddit to see if he’d like to send me some updated pictures, I’ll remake his model for my Kotor Jedi academy remake mod

If he asks, a front facing picture of his head and pictures from both sides would probably be helpful.

I find it always still cool that his likness became a unique head for a unique NPC.

Just remember folks: Keep the focus on Paul Keeler and not that I made the request. If folks like the concept and dislike the requester (me), you don't have to even mention my name.

I like the idea, would be nice if an experienced 3D Artist could make it work

Unfortunately he isn't comfortable with it in unoffical projects
