Out of Pod Experience

While a good portrait in its own right, compared to your old portrait, some effect is lost. Ralph used to have this awesome "release the hounds" vibe going which doesn't really work with the monocle (even though it should.. so much). Still, 8/10.



Android? Very nicely done.. 8/10

Shahira, only thing I really don't like about yours is the dark shadow below your chin but I know how difficult the lighting can be to work with. And maybe have your head slightly rotated so it's not directly looking into the camera.

A 9/10, purely because I think a lighter eye colour would be better for this portrait.

Only criticism I have, rest is great.

I've never been a huge fan of that tat, just because it makes the eyes so hard to see. And, zoomed in, I see what you're trying to do with the bangs, but that's completely invisible at range. The Sansha jacket's a nice one, but all that too-dark-to-distinguish chest does nothing for the portrait. I like the choice of background--it provides great contrast esp. with the white rim of the jacket. Shame about the spikes, I can't see them at all.

A lot of potential, esp. with that pose--it's cool, I think. 7/10

What kills it is the framing. Zoom in a lot. Zoom in until I can see that peering eye and your neck looks normal and your dark-on-dark jacket doesn't eat up over half of the shot. Zoom in so I can see all that great face detail and the piercings. Look at Shahira for a lesson in good framing and lighting.

(oh, yes, I like your lighting. Makes you look quite uncanny and blue/green, although all that blush kind of cancels it out--tone down that makeup imo)

EDIT: @ Taishoku: I love the way you framed yourself with that background. Nice work.

You have a unique appearance, one that is well lit, close up, and at a good angle. Your background matches your appearance,and sets the mood well, however I often find featureless backgrounds somewhat boring. 8/10

Definitely one of my favourites. One of the very few good uses of that eye augmentations. Usually looks like complete crap.

10/10

The face is very well done, and the facial augmentations are a good match. Unfortunately the avatar suffers a bit from the low-res textures that are apparent on the body even in the smaller images. The overall effect is very good, though. 8/10

Cute face, not keen on that tattoo though.
Well lit though so points for that.

7/10

You look like a Turkish(or Greek) Crow in a sleeping bag.
Not to my taste but fairly distinctive.
5/10

I generally like the look that you were going for, but your mouth seems a little off to me..
