Love the updates to Scarlett and Lady Jaye! I'm also digging the new characters-I recognized Tom Clancy's mug right off the bat.

I'm giving myself til the end of December to finish everything. Making every position occupied by a "named" Joe added about 80 more images to my to-do list, and even at a rate of one a day, that's still cutting it close. Last edited by zuludelta; 10-09-2009 at 11:55 AM.. |

On the note of name changes, I had hoped you would've changed Sokerk's to something else when I saw the organizational chart. I associate the name too much with Outback. It's like having a Joe named Hauser or Hinton. I'm sure it can't be avoided in some cases, but some names are so unique that their usage stands out more than a codename like Jonesy does. As for Faces, it does sound a bit like a scatological joke, but it *does* immediately tell you what he does. He's a fairly well known later character and although the new name has meaning behind it, I think that there are enough face* words and phrases in the English language that something more along the lines of his original name could have been used. For example, "Faceless" has the same number of syllables and ending sound as the original name, avoids the poop joke, and drives home the intel/undercover aspect a bit better, IMO. Either way, fantastic updates all around. |

Glad you dug Avalanche. He's one of those projects where I didn't really care for him to start, but ended up getting involved in the re-design as I went along.
Good point about the "Selkirk" name being too identifiable with Outback. Will have to come up with an alternative. Oh, and "Faceless" is a great suggestion. I'll be using it, if you don't mind |

My early (only) suggestion as far as the Selkirk name would be "Shepherd". Selkirk originally meant "church in the forest" and the town is associated with "The Ettrick Shepherd" a local poet and writer and Walter Scott (the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime). Combine this with the image of the Scottish shepherd, the term's connotation in the church, and the "s" sound and it might be a match. Just throw in a secondary Chaplain's Assistant MOS (since I don't *think* Sokerk had one) and it all ties together.
