I see penguins made it into December.

Much angst about the extended downtime from a few weeks ago, even in A Band Apart?

Other then that, I doubt most potential eve players will be able to relate to any women that looks younger than their mother. So I'd go with the other one.

Those are mildly disturbing, like B-rate horror film posters.
Some of the heads clearly aren't attached to the neck correctly. Colours don't match. Proportions are completely wrong on some.

It looks like you went and chopped off heads and stuck other heads on the bodies.
(Which is of course what you did in terms of editing but I mean also in terms of the way the images form and present.)

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Don't be silly now.

Of course when we make generalisations in the forum, we always mean everyone else.

But I'm not a potential Eve player. I'm already an Eve player. It doesn't apply to any of us.

Yes, some of the posters enter into the Uncanny Valles Marineris... Shocked

Even if the graphic design was poor, at least the images I used on my calendar with actual avatars looked normal (for avatar stuff). Although, of course, it took quite a bit to obtain them since I had to wait for each model to send the images and redo them as much as four times, for a total of over 200 pictures sent for the portraits alone...

I see not matching colors, blurred necks, proportion problems, lighting problems, only few were believable and nice.

I think better effects would be with clothed avatars from character creator, with maybe only slight filter/color shifting.

That first one looks very similar to the Ex Machina ladies.

It might be me seeing something unintended, but the next expansion is Galatea yeh? I'm pretty sure that has a longer timeline conceptually from antiquity to present Galatea>Pygmalion>My Fair Lady>Pretty Woman>Ex Machina. It forked into Sci Fi during the 19th and 20th centuries (there was that comedy from the 80s where they created some sort of fembot, forget the film?) but the idea of creating the perfect female remains. Either the name is accidental or there's a dev making sly references somewhere - maybe poking fun at EvE as a creation? Personally, I quite liked the conclusion of EM rather than the previous versions.

Based on Matoko, thanks for stopping to notice.

Sorry, been on my WTW list for years based on recommendations but never got to it.

I really enjoyed the whorebot stabbing its creator to death in EM though, didn't you? He looked like a selfish lover to me
