EVE General Discussion

Well, one of the main itches with the current creator is how every clothing choice looks very 2010, as opposed to the original creator and early prototpying of clothing. Same goes for tattoos and piercings, which are going out of date even in our days.

Another usual complaint is hairstyles, which are quite generic and most of them don't really work nor make a difference.

And one of my pet complains is how the creator includes a mostly useless selection of ear piercings (I can't recall to have seen more than a handful of them ever used) and yet didn't provides any actual earrings.

Anyway avatars are a non-issue and my guess is that we must get used to them as they are unitl CCP revisits the whole character creator. Provided the old one lasted for 7 years, maybe in 2017 we'll be able to make characters who look like they live 23,000 years in the future and not in some London slum in the 2010's...

Confirming that i am the most sexy avatar in this thread.

Happily, you are not.

I sense you envy my limitless beauty. That's only normal.

After seeing so many character design examples via this thread mainly, I'm now considering redesigning my character a bit. Do I have to purchase a resculpt or do I get one free pass to do it or something?

Regardless, I think I can do better. Both in design and pose.

maybe you just like men

there is geometry and art theory to an attractive face. the requirements for handsome male faces [strong jaw lines, squareness] are such that EVE's face constructor is better suited for them. wrangling an attractive female face [soft features, proper ratios] with the EVE face constructor is difficult for the person with enough of an artistic background to draw or paint one--it's going to be a mess for the lay person who doesn't know what they're doing.

I would like to add, in my artistic opinion the cutest avatar I've ever seen is Commissar Kate

getting defensive, are we? it's dangerous to use your emotions as proof

Commissar Kate's portrait is also framed well, and the choice of shirt for its simple neckline leads me to believe the person who created Commissar Kate knows what they are doing. it's also the consistency throughout portrait updates.

if it's not on purpose, that is some serious natural talent.

as for me, I've been known to do some art here and there... this is old, and I have more recent sketches if anyone is curious. that link is a digital freehand drawing over a freehand sketch. (chun li)

I can lay out some of that geometry and color theory after class is out and my weekend starts tonight. (if anyone cares)



that's quaint, but what about all the other beholders

I will agree that quite a large portion of the female avatars look quite a bit "odd" but that could easily be chalked up to either the engine doesn't "do" Women well or that the majority of females are designed by...how shall we say, "demanding" males who wants certain features to be over emphasised and as such they end up looking like cracked out bobble-heads with baloon chests.

All of that being said I am damned handsome! Do I make you horn nee?!

Side Face!

I'm posing for a movie poster. :P
