Your pose doesn't reveal much about the personality of your character, and seems to be looking off at the wall. You also have a look that reminds me of a merchant or trader, not one really involved in combat.

From the ashes of our defeat, we will be reborn. With these chains with which we are bound, we will become indivisible. To those who showed us no mercy, we will give no sympathy. For the flames that burn our cities, we will douse in injustice's blood

Huh... scary eye is scary. The pose is OK, specially eerie with the blind eye on the foreground. What I don't get, is the framing. Why so away from the camera? It obviously is a portrait, so the character should use most of the space, rather than just fill a corner. Also character is cute behind that dead eye. Will say 8/10, but could improve with a proper framing.

+ Makeup adds nice contrast.
+ Background choice and lighting help keep the focus on the character.
+ The cream/gold sanctity dress is one of my favorite in the game.
+ You managed to do a facing camera pose that avoided the uncanny valley look, which is quite difficult to do.

- The sanctity dress adds roughly a cup size, and those were already huge to begin with. They're large to the point that it distorts the shoulders, making it look as if she's struggling just to hold them up.
- I'm not sure the green tones in the background work well with the gold of the dress.

Overall: 7.7/10

Shocked But, but... It's the dress! And the pose! Indahmawar is quite small...

Laken Starr, You have an innocent look around you. Shy and modest, as if you have endured hardships that would have broken most. 8/10

Luna: there's a certain desaturated look to your portrait- having a more contrasting background and maybe having a more active head position/eyes would help Smile

8/10

You look like you're watching TV just off camera, something possibly mildly amusing.. something like Good mythical morning perhaps.

Valkin Mordirc:

I can see what you are going at (at least I think so) and the concept is pretty cool actually.
Only problem is that this eyepiece is really terrible by design and takes away much from the potential of your picture.
I mean, really, if you look at the enlarged image, it looks like being badly photoshopped in by a 10-year old. No real connection to your skin or facial structures at all. I don't blame you, I blame CCP for that one Twisted

I would try a little more shadows around the eyepiece, maybe that'll work.

Or stop being poor and get a decent monocle- the choice is yours.

7/10, would probably be 9/10 without the eye-thingy.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

You look like you are looking up at the camera, as if it were directly above you. You are also wearing a very common hairstyle, giving you a very generic look. 7/10

+ Very subtle makeup that enhances without drawing too much emphasis
+ Very good lighting
+ Makeup compliments dress

- Eyes are dilated; have you been hitting the boosters?
- Sophisticated dress + ponytail = Why?
- Your boobs must have opposing poles, as they seem to be trying to get away from each other.

+- With the background, I can't tell if your warp drive is activated or if you're simply channeling the spirit of Neil Patrick Harris.

7.5/10, plus one holy llama.

I like your hair, but I don't like how you look so sad. Why are you sad? If intentional, well done. If not, well.. not done?
The pose could be a bit more dynamic, but again I'm not sure if the slumped shoulders are intentional or not. So for now I'll assume they are.
Personally I think the background matching the color of your clothes would be a poor artistic choice, but again I assume it's there to add to the melancholic theme of the entire portrait.

If you were going for a pouty schoolgirl look, 9/10. If not, 6/10.

The lighting seems to have lead to some odd shadows around the neck area. Some potentially interesting tattoos, but the lighting doesn't really make them stand out much. The pose is kinda OK but with everything so close to the camera you're not really seeing much.

7/10 There's some promise, but the lighting really isn't the best.

Really nice work on the face there but... everything is so neutral... no real expression, basically full profile, grey background, face in blanket full light.

6.5/10 You're got a really good canvas for a good avatar, but you're just not really doing anything with it.
