Out of Pod Experience

Aye, that's kinda the idea. In fact a "washout" without many shadows is very hard to achieve (took a few weeks of experimenting in fact - I'd kill for a neutral lighting option). Achuran features are very pronounced, so as soon as you start to add shadows they become over-pronounced, and you often end up with ugly.

As for yours sir!

I can see you've been spending a lot of time tweaking and refining him recently. I like how you've kinda matched the colour scheme of the outfit somewhat with the background, and then sat the character in the portion that has different lighting/colourng. Kinda frames him nicely.

The pose doesn't look awkward and looks quite natural which is always hard and gets you a bonus point.

Otherwise a very common, generic looking portrait with no real stand-out positive or negative features.

6/10 rounding up.

The lighting is weird around the neck but that can't be helped and doesn't really damage the shot overall. Not too much I can say other then looking very good indeed, those freckles though, the standout feature to be sure!

9/10

An outfit I don't see very often... but otherwise it's pretty bland.

For some reasons Carm thinks you are my alt.

I am not entirely convinced, but would never dare to disagree with Senpai, so, uh, as my new alt, that means of course 10/10 by default.

Mina Sebiestar: Love your simple yet expressive image!

Your look is what really tops it, a mean tough 'If you try that again, you're dead!!' glare. 9/10 from me!

Ah, you remind me of my younger days. Such conviction, such vigor. 8/10

Kate is kate. 9001/10

First of all let me get this out of the way....

10/10 I really like your portrait.

MMM, I love me a good Jin-Mei duder anyday.
