Better or worse?

Try to zoom in and skip body parts with light from distance or distant angle.

Get a monocle

It takes a little practice but you are getting there. Avatars is one of the nice little mini games this game has.

Reroll Gallente.

Go and get yourself some cheap sunglasses.

These are just suggestions:

-Work with the chin and lower cheeks and try to add a bit more round-ness to her jaw-line. Currently her lower/mid cheeks look like she's about to blow out a candle.
-Pull her chin forward a small bit as well.
-Consider moving her nose upwards a little bit.
-The mouth and nose can be moved up and down independently within a certain limit. It is possible to move them both up and have them look alright, but still need to raise the chin to make things look right.
-Some of the puffyness around the eyes could be remedied by moving the eyes a little deeper into the sockets, as well as adjusting the eyelid itself
-Don't be afraid to give her some brow structure (not a lot, but maybe a little more than she has currently).
-When working with facial structure, I like to nuke the hair and makeup completely so none of it is distracting me.
-Maybe darken the eyebrows a bit.

Not a whole lot needs to be changed drastically. A lot of "getting it right" has to do with subtle changes, which can be difficult at times because the characters keep moving around.

I'm no expert at all. I'm mostly a trial and error type person, but I think the same techniques apply to any character creation in any game with customization:

Take your sweet ridiculous amount of time while you're in the character creator. Extra time here means less irritation when you're looking at your flawed character later. I'm one of those weirdos who likes to look at a "close to perfect" character when I'm playing my games, and if I screw it up, it kinda ruins the whole thing for me.

First, I pick the most obvious feature that I don't like, and figure what needs to be changed about it. Most of the time this is either the jaw line or eye spacing for me. Once you have that first "problem" worked out, move on to the next biggest flaw. Maybe the chin, or nose length. I keep doing this repeatedly til I've gone over the whole face a couple or several times. Then Ifinetune the spacings between parts and transitions. It can take very very minor or subtle changes to the face to make a huge difference in overall appearance.

Once you've done all this, go have a smoke, do the dishes, whatever. Come back and look at it again later. Often, you'll see flaws or problems that you didn't see the first time.

When that's all done, you might oughta be good to go. Fortunately, all the cosmetic stuff, and even eyes/hair can be changed later if you need. Just make sure you took the time to get the foundation right.

I don't even know if any of this is helpful, and like I said, I'm no expert. But time spent earlier in the char create process will save you from much frustration later, when you're trying to find a good pose/light/background. I spent a good hour or so on this one, and even still, I notice flaws that I overlooked that kinda bug me now.

I go for the raised eyebrow and fairly obvious smirk look.
Makes me look friendly and quizzical at the same time

lol true that
