Looks pretty decent, although I think it's better if the swastika has the tips curve outwards a little bit, and put in the 4 dots you see in hindu swastikas so it'll look more authentic. The beard could also use a bit of shading so it wouldn't look too flat.

Gotta say the whole genocide thing kind of ruined swastikas for me.

I'm aware that the symbol originated long before the Nazis in several cultures, and that it is still used to mean other things. But most people looking at a video game mod with a swastika won't, and the symbol is still a reminder of the Holocaust, even if it originated elsewhere. Kind of like how you don't see people with the last name "Hitler" anymore.

well if someone downloads this mod without seeing the pictures and reading the comments, they deserve to remain an idiot. it was just an unnecessary comment, that type of thing brings a reason to complain.

This problem could be solved by you using almost any other symbol in the world than a swastika.

It is presented in all Buddisht temple around the world. so you gonna tell them to scrap them off?

Slightly rotated, but possessing the same chirality as yours (arms facing the same direction).

Regardless, I think you should replace it, and I imagine at least one developer will agree.

Again, this isn't a Buddhist Temple; it's a video game module.

However, this is a monk representing that culture. Yes, your imagination represents the dev.

Oh, btw, this is a single player game, you can choose not to download it.

It's a video game character which you intend to represent that culture, but nobody can read your mind to determine exactly your intentions. The swastika is a problematic symbol because it essentially has two meanings: (1) a symbol of Nazism, and (2) an ancient religious and cultural symbol. The problem is that you can only show the symbol, not which meaning you intend for it to convey. Since you can't control this, and since nobody can read your mind, it's best to choose another symbol and avoid unnecessary conflicts like this one. There are many, many other symbols you might employ, and I can promise that none of them will be as problematic.

Please read the TOPIC and the name of this MOD:
This is a MONK, a MONK and a MONK. Thank you very much. Unless there was Nazi Monk.
Should I put in a CROSS for a Buddism Monk? Oh no, the CROSS was used to mean torture.

8-spoked wheels and lotuses, among others, are far more common symbols of Buddhism than swastikas. Howabout one of those?
