Mine is just a copy of the average Drug dealer you find on the Glasgow city highstreet

Originally I tried to recreate my old avatar but can't, because hot damn these squinty eyes of mine, so I just tried to make something aesthetically appealing without any concious models to base on.

As the topic states, where did you find the inspiration for your Avatars look?

I originally set out with the idea of something close to a young Jessica Alba from her Dark Angel days. I loved her character Max in that and thought it would be very fitting for the EVE universe.

Sarah didn't quite turn out anything like Jessica Alba. She kept some of her features, such as the lips, but I got carried away and this is what I ended up with.

Who was your inspiration? If any..


Your avatar reminds me of a young Korean prostitute I used to know...

Mine, I looked in the mirror & wondered if I could make an avatar that looked 20 years older than I currently am. Now to wait 20 years & see how it turns out.

Then you ruined it by adding goggles.

When I first came into the game avatars were just 2d portraits of strange alien Gallentians in DaftPunk helmets. Then suddenly after incarna my main turned into most beatiful pixelwoman I could imagine.

So all my new pilots are a carbon copy of my first pilot. Who somehow resembles Greta Garbo.

Yes they are. I hope we get hats soon though since stetsons and fezes are also cool.
