Vherokior eyes overdo it for sure.


Gotta cake on the eye shadow to make the eyes look bigger. The weirdest thing about Vherokior females though is the chin and jaw line, it's huge and looks swollen. They've kinda got jowls and goiters.

As for the OP, I guess I made a female because the females in this game can look pretty cool. The males in this game are kind of boring. They are also kind of weird looking, particularly in the nose. The hairstyles are mostly awful. etc.

Didn't try to make this one look like anyone. Goal was to make a hot badass chick with a cool name that looked somewhat ethnically ambiguous. Oh, and had to be a Minmatar.

E. I made 3 extra accounts and made them look like and named them after my grandmother, aunt and grandfather who all died a few years ago, to honor them. Also i made them alts like "Everybodys death", "Eve of line" or "Adam on line". Just for fun. My latest is "Tilda Swinton"(i love that actress).

Edit: I also have an alt in the Goner Temple for pure rp.

I've gotten compliments on the portrait, but that's about it.


No surprise there.

It's obvious you are a guy just by glancing at your portrait. Women players don't tend to make a ho to be their avatar. They generally make realistic proportions and tasteful or understated makeup.

There are exceptions, of course. But not many.

Thanks for responding. This has had me curious for a very l o n g time.

Ive made a "few" toons... one thing if found very difficult, is to make toons so ugly that you wanna put a bag over their heads before you undock

One exception that immediately comes to mind is Naburi NasNaburi.

In any case, I wasn't going for understated makeup when I decided to make a gothic looking character.

The ones I have talked with, they generally make an AV that looks like the man they want to date.

Aiyshimin had a backstory and personality (yeah, RP stuff from when I started playing, I actually thought this was an MMORPG) before I made the portrait, so I wanted it to look like her, which turned out great.

However, I've also made one to look like an ex (it's spot on and I had to add a tattoo on her face to make it less so :D), one general fantasy femme and one to look like my wife, which failed miserably and doesn't do her gorgeousness any justice. Oh and one that attempts to portray a mystical goddess.



Shocked those are all from you ?
now this makes sense...

Basically I create my toons to visually match what I expect/plan for them to fly, and how they play. This one, for example, being an Interceptor/Covops pilot, went for a more techy look with some military elements due to the cheek tattoo.

I'd say she turned out very well.

Who made his avatar female with the idea, she would get shot less fast then when it would be a male? Big smile

I have three female characters. One I made to kinda, sorta resemble this character's sister (I don't think I did a very good job, but oh well), one I created pretty much at random (i.e. I went with mostly defaults and just tweaked hair color and clothes), and the other my 10-year-old daughter made.

This is another resculpt of mine, an Achura who I decided would go full Geisha. I made her nose somewhat beakish, to make her more personable / down to earth / realistic.

I've tried turning different races into stunners, but it broke the sense of realism for me. It can be done, though. I think the most successful examples of breaking the mold goes to Khanid femmes. They turn out quite successful but it's a striking departure from typical Khanid.

Maybe it makes me crazy, but.

My characters aren't modelled after anyone irl, but they have distinct personalities in my mind. I don't know when it happened, but RP with them is automatic now, and I don't have to try... they tell me how they think or feel, and there's no conscious algorithm that I use for it. I don't identify with them, but I recognize them as real people, more or less. They're not Mary Sues, either.

Kaaeliaa can't be a random Khanid example. Big smile
