@Brandon Starrk :

Good background, original pose and face. I won't say that it is too dark, but you could use a better lighting on the eyes in my opinion. I understand what you tried to do but I have big troubles distinguishing them.

Also, but that's your personal part, I'm not sure about what you tried to make : the avatar is physically 'clean' while his expression shows something darker. That's a good idea, but I think you're relying too much on the lighting for the second part.

That's my opinion :)

8/10



You are entirely correct. My intention was to create a character that would look entirely benign and use the lighting to create the notion that there is a non-tangible sinister, dark side to it. I am aware of the problem with the eyes. Although I made them open grey, so as to be easily discernible in the dark, I have not yet found a way of exposure to the light that would allow the shadows to work as intended while making the eyes show.

@ Shalua Rui:

Pretty avatar, but I think it could do with another hairstyle and maybe an eyeshadow that matches the eyes' color. Also the chin piercing looks out of place. 7/10

All american square chinned type fella. Freedom, Liberty and cheese burgers!!

Looks like it was done in the Crimson Skies dramatic noble guardian of justice type pose.

Very atmospheric

Too much neck lol, lighting is off. I think a better pose would help your character reach higher levels of badassery though. 7.5/10

It's alright. Too dark and far away to be really distinctive, as is, though. 6/10

Nice, really like the lighting and background, goes really well with the expressionless face. I do not like white eyes though.

At first the off-center pose seems a little off-putting, but on further reflection, it looks like it was the best thing to do given the character's shape and background. 8/10

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

I don't know. Your Character is hard. It got something interesting as it is not standard but then it has some smooth traits, some harsh ones, which is a kindof weird. I dont like the hair at all nor the color. The character just looks like a nerd on the street, not like a capsuleer from a harsh, unforgiving universe. 5/10

My portrait.

I get the impression of a grandmother trying to wedge her way back into modern fashion. The kids have all grown up and have kids of their own. Husband died years ago. Living alone. Time to reinvent yourself and get back into the scene. Paint the town red. Get a hip tattoo. Put your hair up in an edgy way.

7/10 for believability.

Good pose, but the lighting is awful. Like the eyes and freckles but the chin is a bit too soft for the rest of the face. Will say it's 7/10 until you improve the lighting.

BTW, I am rolling Ish again, but CCP broke the hairstyles so currently she's in a place holder mode... the body pose is almost final but likely will change head, face and make up once I can change the hairdo -the only reason i was using it was to conceal her forehead in the old portrait...
