Preliminary Textures
-R.
Glad to see the textures! My thoughts:
The color of the skin differs slightly from the concept, it's shifted more towards violet (base tone: #68709E) instead of plain blue (#525E7A)
You could experiment with different tones of the skin in some places, giving impression that the overmind is a living organism and some parts of it are older (even ossified maybe?) than others
Just checking in: any updates?
Sorry for the wait
Here's a preview of the details (I still have to add more cracks, bumps,etc.)
Here's the new Base Color, with what you suggested (nothing final there)

Wow, that is some fantastic detail! The eye will look great when it's got a glow map later on. Let's see what Pevel says about this.
This is exactly what I meant. New details look amazing! Don't forget about darker parts of the texture. You may also base your texturing on other alien models, for reference (see how dark and desaturated colors are, and how to make the texture look alien-organic):
See the pattern here? On the overmind, the base blue color itself is ok. You may darken it a little bit and add hints of other colors (just like you did around the 'eye').
Ok sorry it's taking me longer than I expected, my computer is slow and I'm a bit insecure for the textures/color process, but here we go
(Again: Work in progress , will do the eye soon)

Wow, I like how the detail is coming out on it!
It looks great! You did good job adapting the feel of other alien organisms. We're waiting for more detail on the eye :)
Almost done !

Gonna rework the details and add cavity map eventually
