The Noalm portraits are just a bit funky. In other portraits, the color variants are just recolors, but all Nloam variants have different looks.

Love your portraits! The error log is flagging up a lot of errors for the AS name lists:
[14:21:51][lexer.cpp:278]: File 'common/name_lists/AS01.txt' should be in utf8-bom encoding (will try to use it anyways)
[14:21:51][namelist.cpp:469]: Error: Failed Reading Ship Names!
Reason: Invalid Ship Size!
common/name_lists/AS01.txt(42)
[14:21:51][namelist.cpp:469]: Error: Failed Reading Ship Names!
Reason: Invalid Ship Size!
common/name_lists/AS01.txt(46)
... (the same for AS02, 03 and 06 name lists)
[14:22:46][effect_impl.cpp:2846]: Failed to get a random class namelist in create_species effect. ClassTag = AS.

The babel fish one also has a lot of errors reported (which becomes visible ingame with some species lacking names). I've disabled it right now, which is why I can't post the errors straight away, but they're in documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/error.log

Don't worry about fixing it though - I'm in a rush to play a full campaign so I decided to do it myself, will upload later once I've tested the last little bit of it :)

Fixed all the errors (in both AS and AS Babel Fish) but "[17:15:37][effect_impl.cpp:2846]: Failed to get a random class namelist in create_species effect. ClassTag = AS." I tried on that one, but I must be missing what's going wrong. You're welcome :)

It seems there are ship name errors on some of the Alien Suns' Name Lists. Ship names listed as: %O%. Is this intended or a bug? No errors on the Outer Rim ones though.

The portraits won't even show up in the selection for me :C

Your new animated portraits are cool. However there is a wierd bug involving the small guys with 5 feathered heads who a small. Look at these images:

Looks like it picks the last portrait you used, instead of the actual portrait it's supposed to use

did the namelist fixes solve the blank names? in my last game before the update I was still sometimes getting species & empires w blank names, which caused any empire that has that species to have a blank species/pops tooltip on the diplomacy page, and all diplomatic notifications for blank empire names were also blank.

There should be no more leaders without names in the next patch. As for your other bugs, I have no idea how to fix it or even to reproduce them.

I've been getting a lot of namelist errors of ship names being too long. Unsure if you already knew about this but figured I'd post it.
