Thank you! It was a bit of a process!
I first made the exposed limbs and chest different colors, such as making the right leg green, the left red, the chest purple, etc. I did that so that I could perfectly fade each limb accourding to its thickness and depth. Then I began to use a gradual erasing technique in GIMP (an image manipulation program similar to photoshop, but much more primitive). I used a faded brush for the eraser, and turned the opaqueness down to 50%. Then, I gradually erased around the edges, making the parts where "light" directly hit it more see through than the areas where it's not. This gave the limbs a certain natural depth, as well as making it more true to the films since it implied light was "bending" around the limbs.
Once I was done with all that careful erasing, I made all the limbs a neutral color, something that would blend in with most backgrounds. The armor had a similar effect applied, but a little less "depth" shadowing on the wristbands or leggings (merely so you could tell your teammate apart from the background).

No problem! While GIMP is a pretty primitive little gadget, it's free, and it does the most essential things that Photoshop can do!

The Predator never gets scared, K-Z wouldn't have any sounds to use.

i already know that.  is a ''surprised'' expression, not a scared expression. we already have  for that.

This. Also, is for saying you're sorry or just sad (hence the sad frown), and is for surprise and fear. There's no sounds that I could use for a surprised Predator or a scared Predator. ok then. im sorry for not listening to yuko's post.

It's okay! Don't be afraid to make a suggestion, just think it out first. As I said earlier, if the idea is cool enough and fitting enough, I'd definitely take it into consideration. And if this update is any indication, I most certainly do credit and use a person's suggestion if I say I will.
If you have an idea, please tell me! Sci-Fi mod's still got plenty of room for more features and stuff! Even if it's a HUD based suggestion, or a music suggestion or whatever, I'll definitely use it if it's fitting enough and cool enough!
