Hm. This is a hard one. Let's start with the facts.

- Severe burns on the face + heavy tribal tattoo combo. Usually that's where the rating drops to "Large Collidable Object/10", but...
- Contrast shading.
- Imperfect face, to say the least. Malformed, heavy lower jaw.
- She's obviously aging. She looks probably around 35 or so.

Certainly far from most aesthetic criteria, though the full-body avatar seems to be well-shaped.

- Nice pose, a dark outline against the lighter part of the background.
- Background shading details create "shadow wings" around the character. I especially love that.
- Her face instantly captures attention and conveys the general theme - that of the mature, life-battered, but strong and extremely resilient woman that'll give hell to any enemy. Gray eyes underline her "inner steel".

For some weird reason, though some might say that this character is ugly, all the details give a feeling that they are there for a purpose and it all somehow "clicks" together as she comes alive. Very good creation. I can't help but like Neph.

Also, new portrait is much better than the previous one with the orange/black vest.

9/10 :P

No, not really buying those piercings. Nor the tattoo.

Jade haves nice features and she pulls the baldhead style well. First I thought she looked bored, but probably she's just thinking. Color theme is well built around the skin color, background and lighting. I would say 8/10, but the piercings and tattoo are too much for me. Will say 7/10 yet feel tempted to remove even more points... Ugh

Seemingly nude yet still classy with the lipstick, earrings, and clean skin. Calm simple background fits the mood. 9/10 just cause I would like to see some tattoos or something dark/interesting but I respect the sleek aesthetic.

I like the uniform, and the pose and background bring it out really well. However, the strong jawline combined with the weak chin is a bit unfortunate. 7/10

Nice background,but your character is so standing upright that it might've swallowed a stick.The hair is cool as well.Reminds me of CCP Dolan's hair. 9/10

Love the monochrome design and the background adding some fire. That scar, the expression, outstanding. 9/10

My first impression is that the odd highlighting makes Azda's hair feels disjointed from her face as it blends into the background. I admit, the deep scarring adds an interesting element, but as far as I can tell, doesn't fit with the rest of the image. I'd thought you were white-eyed, but no, your eyes are closed. Are you sleeping? Orgasming? The dramatic lighting adds another confusing component.

I read some of her other reviews. If the story you are trying to tell is that of a old warrior finding inner peace, it's hinted at but not made explicit. Is that what she is? I'm not sure.

How does Azda feel? I don't know. What kind of person is she? I don't know. Should I fear her, pity her, or understand her serenity? Her avatar doesn't let me know. It's aesthetically appealing but emotionally perplexing.

5/10, but just a few tweaks (to expression? lighting?) would bring that up to 9/10, 10/10.

Oh, look, her chest is bigger than her head. No, seriously, it throws off the composition horribly and draws the eye away from anything interesting. I always was partial to that background, though. 6/10

That's just a fish-eye lens and I approve, though I may be biased.

Great one. The lighting casting a shadow over the left eye and the off-center positioning are especially nice. 9/10

Every one says that. Yours looks great. Slightly sinister and sickly evil. I approve! 9/10. Perhaps a darker backdrop?
