Hi everyone. I'm an image designer and the most requested thing i get from zabraks is the ability to have "red" or "black" (darth maul look) for their whole bodies. Zabraks complain they look too human and not enough like an"alien". I don't know if zabraks will ever get this option but there is a small thing that could make the species look WAY more alien than they do now. I guess the art team left it out by accident, but if you look at darth maul, you can see he has a yellow eyeball and red eyes. Having the ability to have the eye ball a different color like yellow or red etc would make the species alot less human like, and more alien. Just an idea, and im sure its been posted before. Also, zabrak females always ask for the "pig tail" look, i saw it on the official SWG site in a screenshot. Why isnt that hairstyle in the actual game?

As a Zabrak and an Image Designer, I think my biggest recommendation would be a larger variation in horn colors. I'm sure you all have noticed, but horn colors seem to be more limited than skin colors are for humans/zabraks. Tons of shades of greys/whites that are so close they pretty much all end up looking the same. To use a darth maul-type example, now that people are able to get black skin with their red tattoos, they want to get bright red horns to contrast with their skin, but end up settling for black. I've been getting alot of requests for different horn colors, but I'm always having to let them down because the colors just aren't there.

I've never gotten a request for eyeball colors, but that is definetely an interesting idea.

As for hairstyles, I think every species can use more variety in that area. That, tattoo patterns, and fur patterns for Wookies have been some of the biggest requests from the players. They are always asking about it.

If I recall right. That pony tail look you speak of is one of the beginning start up styles that Zabraks can have as a hair style.

I've always been of the opinion that since horns are most likely made of the same material as fingernails, they should be able to be painted. So, theoretically, they should be able to be colored just as brightly as lips or eyeshadow. And two-tones eyeballs are a really interesting idea!!

while two tone eyeballs are an interesting idea I think that they fall under the same category as nail polish. .... no one will see it. We can't zome in that close even in the /examine screen. So we wouldn't see it. Zabrak look human. I dunno if you've seen some of the oficial pictures, but there are several official photos where theZabrak is not black and red. He is flesh toned. His eyes are normal. His tatooing is two shades darker than his skin and his horns are the same color as his flesh. .... that seems to be a normal color. There's no need for the "more alien" look. As it is, humans can be considered aliens.

The eyeballs are interesting. However, it's not something that you can really get up close and personal to see. Maybe in the ID screen but that's about it.honestly, Most people wouldn't see such a minute change.
