I thought I would post my progress in making higher poly low poly skeleton parts. The is the first one: a Spine replacement. Bone color OK?

This color more matches the original, but I think it is too yellow ...

Personally I think the second texture is bette. More contrast = better. When that's in properly lit environs I don't think it'll look too yellow, whereas the first one looks a bit washed out, desaturated and might get lost in a dark Thief environment.
Maybe try pushing the hue a tiny bit towards the red direction from that second picture, get a more beige look?

Better?

The newest version is pretty good; it may use jut a little bit more yellow and contrast. The original skeleton texture comes out really-really well when lit up in dark environments (some of the shadowing is baked into the texture), so a replacement should capture that aspect.

I feel like an optometrist: is this better or worse?

In order to get a single spine-pelvis object, I had to seriously de-poly the spine and the ribs. I have higher quality ribs as a separate ribcage object (stay tuned), but they would not work with the pelvis, and spine from the spine object.

I thought the 3D ribs would be the hard part, but the rib texture was a real bear for me to get shadows burned and and looking like it belongs to the same person as the spine and pelvis. I much prefer to model from a good image than to freehand it and make up a texture from scratch.
