Help needed on police skin

Hey there!

So i’m making monster skins for my game, and i’m having trouble with this police officer skin.

I want for the skin to look like an infected officer, while keeping the original monster style. However, this is hard to portray without the monster having some sort of clothing on, to show that the monster was once a human. I tried using decals and textures, but it looks very off. Is there any method i can use to make the skin look better overall or give the illusion that the monster is wearing a shirt or a piece of clothing?

Here’s the default skin:

Here’s a zombie skin i made recently:

Here’s the messed up police officer skin:

I know the police officer looks very VERY bad at the moment, i’d say i’m about 30% way through to finishing the skin, but i’ll fix that as soon as i fix the clothing effect problem.

Any help would be appreciated! :+1:

In the wake of a Zombie Apocalypse, I doubt any police officer would go out without wearing some protection. As well as this, most police, regardless of the situation, wear light armour designed to cushion light arms fire. So I would probably add that, anyway, it would be another good indicator about that zombie’s skin to other players, since at range, they might not be able to see details like the badge and police hat. Either way, it looks really good.

Hm, i wasn’t planning to make the police officer (in the story) have protection, because of how unexpected this event was, but if i don’t manage to find a way to get a simple shirt on him, i think i’ll put some armour on him.

(Also the officer doesn’t get infected in the story, this is just a skin you can equip if you are chosen as the monster which isn’t fully relevant to the story)

Thanks for the idea! :+1:

Thanks for taking the advice. The idea was because the skin was a cosmetic, you would imagine the player wanting the other plays know that you have that skin.

Maybe Have ripped pieces of clothing?

That’s the point of this post, to try and figure out a way if there is any efficient way to portray ripped pieces of clothing on the monster.

As you can see in the current picture of the police officer skin, i have decals on the torso and some on arms to make it look like it has ripped pieces of clothing, which clearly doesn’t work, which is why this post is up.
