Sarah - Looks too sad, 7/10 though.

This was actually the expression i was aiming for and it's actually quite hard to make a 'happy face' with this character since i'm avoiding wrinkles on the near lips section and i like the eyebrows shape this way, but thank you :)

Huh, the infamous squint eyes... it's quite a tricky thing as the axis of the eyes are correctly aligned, but then, the character's eyes don't work as human eyes. Our eyes are not spheres and they don't rotate inside the socket, rather eye muscles drag the pupils around. They're "one block" with the eye socket, and so they are dragged to the appropiate part of the exposed conjunctive unless some of the muscles malfunction (then the eyes become squint).

So the "squint eyes bug" it's caused by a perfeclty functional bad design: character eyes are rotating spheres inside the eye sockets and the axis are kept perfectly parallel... but human eyes don't work like that and the result is unnatural and somehow funny.

Rather than a "rotate axis xy degrees" algorythm, they would need a "locate pupil at xy coordinates" algorythm. That would allow to simulate on a static sphere the non-sphericity and function of actual eyeballs.

Umm no, not the squint eyes problem, but yes, basically Eve's avatar eyes doesn't follow the normal 'point to focus' as our human eyes does, instead the infamous parallel eyes, so this made it difficult when trying to make the avatar eyes pointed to an extreme angle/direction. CCP need to fix this somehow :(

What i was commenting about is the eyelids + depth of the eye, looks swelled a bit. Same issue i had before my resculpture, esp. with asian eyes (commonly slanted/small/narrow), i don't know how you can fix them (well, unless you like it that way, then there's no problem) without a rescuplture though.

Well, I guess this is a matter of tastes, I don't recall exactly but i did the sockets/eyelids to look the most pleasing possible... actually, i like Ishtanchuk's eyelids better than Indahmawar's... I took long effort to make Ish's eyes her "top" feature, as much as i aimed for Indah having perfect traits.

(Anyway the socket on the back of Ishtanchuk's jaw was an accident during her last resculpt, and I didn't noticed it until it was too late. So i may pay one month after Inferno to resculpt my lady...That's 15 € just to resculpt a character, but then i am fonder of my ladies than about anything else I achieved in this game...Lol)

Sarah Schneider: as mentioned by others: you look sad, or filled with melancholy about things past that will never come back. So rating you 8/10 for conveying it so strong & being intended.

Ack: Inda was faster :o Already rated you tho, and like the casual tone of your char.

Oh god, a ginger.

I've always wondered; if a toon has no soul, how can it reawaken in a new clone when destroyed?

It's why we have to re-awake in a new clone you know, we have keep doing that, till we finally find our soul! At least, we gingers now :p

Arkon Oscalar: An old & worn out character, one that has seen alot in life, and seems tired of it from the looks: 7/10 for feeling miserable, and spreading that to the others.

Ookay, though obviously presenting some impressive parts of female anatomy, the posing is actually really nice. Very tone in tone and excellent lighting. Delicate prettyness as well.

Kinda has a cyberpunk vibe to it, but the pose makes him look autistic. 7/10

You certainly deliver a strong impression and are difficult to forget, but otherwise your avatar is awful. 4/10 +1 for unforgettableness, say 5/10.

Harsh... considering I just started how should I know what a "2010 Every Single Civire Male" looks like, when I was just trying to go for a Drill Sergeant look (now I just need a hat like this guy's).

So with that said...

@ Leonid I like the contrast between your character and the background nice clear lighting too, 8/10
