I'm sure you all know in the 1.8 prerelease, a new, skinny-armed female default skin was added, called Alex. Since zombies' textures are currently all based on Steve, there should also be zombies based on Alex as well.
This is kind of a small suggestion, and may feel pointless, but I think Alex zombies would be a good addition to Minecraft. It would add more variety to zombies, so they don't all look the same (with the exception of armored zombies), and would make the Alex skin fit in more with the game. Also with Alex being a default skin, it just makes sense that there would be zombie Alexes. Unless you're saying that not a single Alex died in the zombie apocalypse because
zombies are attracted to souls, and gingers have no souls.
Anyway, I made textures for the Alex zombie already. I'm still not sure if I should keep her clothes and hair the same (because Steve zombies have the same clothes as Steve), or make them dirty to look more zombie-like. If I see that one option is getting a lot more votes, I'll choose that one.
Also, just so you know, that last question in the poll was just to get people's opinions of Alex, because I've been seeing a lot of opposition to it on the forums recently. This is not a suggestion to remove Alex, and even if you hate her it's no reason to oppose the addition of zombie Alexes. I know a lot of people are saying the addition of a female character messes up Notch's original concept of everything being bisexual, which IMO is a bit weird and Steve clearly looks male anyway, but I'm not trying to start a flame war here.

Timeless Modding is kinda dead but idk what to put here now
Alex isn't neccesarily meant to be female. The skin can just as easily be male. That's the reason Alex is wearing unisex clothes, for example. And the hair could be both a ponytail, or a hairstyle based after Jeb_'s hair.
Anyway, as this skin is introduced, it would be fun to see some zombies of it walking around.
Support.
Thanks! Nice name by the way.

Supporttt, The zombies appearance seems like Steve (the default character). Since there is another new default char, another zombie skin based on Alex would make sense and adds variety.
The zombie skin for Steve has the same clothes, but his hair turned green like his skin. I'd like to see that happen to this as well.
But supportr for the idea.

Not a bad idea to bring new zombie textures with the new default skin coming. And yet another reason why Mojang needs to add extra mob textures.
Figured it was time for a change.

Support! Love me some variety!
I make models and textures. Message me if you are interested.
Things I support
This would be nice to see in game. Some variety to the zombies would help Mojang add in alt textures to Minecraft.
SUPPORT
I don't see why this needs to be implemented... I don't see why this shouldn't be implemented... I'm indifferent when it comes to this.
Aren't Minecraft mobs not supposed to have a gender?
Support
I have been thinking the same thing sense Alex was added.
I think this adds more variety to Minecraft.
Support.
I'm back
Zombies don't have hair...
I have a new account called "Mushroomsock" now, so please do not send me PMs.
Yes, but Alex could be a male or a female, read the first posts from the thread.
Support, it's very cool!
