Do you like your portrait? (What "look" were you going for?)

Why did you do yours the way you did?
I went for the IRL look, and I'm quite happy with the likeness P

For my portrait... well awesome or badass comes to mind.
Given the considerable number of girls that want to have my baby and others that got pregnant just by looking at me i daresay i succeeded.Cool

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.

These are completely different attitudes and should be therefore different medical conditions as well.
If you are just intelligent enough to choose a different way to satisfy your hunger, you are still a sociopath, just an intelligent one. If you are a psychopath, you don´t have a hunger for anything, you lack the inhibitions to hurt or kill someone but don´t go out of their way doing so.
I could be mixing it up with something else though.


Makes sense. But DSM-IV has chosen a different definition.... vOv
DSM-V will be out this year, I think, maybe they will change their concept of psychopathy again.

But please try to stay on topic. Derailing threads is only fun when I do it on purpose, and this thread actually could have some potential.

So, on topic, although there is a disturbing lack of similarity between Zimmy and Marla, I actually have grown on the avatar and quite like her. I know, the picture could be improved in many ways (remove the overused under-eye-stripe tattoo, get rid of the scar, equip moar NeX items (ok, joking))- but i like it as it is now with all its imperfections.

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.

Went for the apprehensive, unsure, look which defines this character. Wanted a dash of cynical. a twist of mild irritation as well as a sprinkling of shyness, hence no eye contact. She likes to blend in with the crowd and would probably be running from the camera -in transit between destinations. She'd loathe to be the subject of any inquistion or even a simple question proffered. Out of shot her finger is pointed imperiously at someone else. "Ask him! Leave me alone".

This is a RP character, ex-slave, courtesy of the villainous Nefantar (Ammatar) so I wanted the look of her to describe somebody who has had negative attention doled out, but wants no more of it.

After the punk/huron/mohawk hair of the previous avatar, this I feel is better suited to her status as parent of two, one of which is a nice prop for the occasional RP 'do'. She's now more mellow, a bit older but not necessarily wiser.

Really pleased with it at last.

Tried to stay loyal to the old portrait while making him as mean-looking as possible.

Now he looks like agent 47 (the hitman) with AIDS, which is perfect.

I went for the "Young Han Solo / Metalhead biker" look.

It was meant to be a self portrait though. Failed in so many ways there.

I went for a distressed and not too bright looking young gallente lady.

It's because I am distressed, obviously wont ever learn to not let myself get kidnapped over and over again and am dependent on being rescued on a regular basis.

I was going for a look that would irritate cool people.

I was going for "captain of a spaceship with military background and a hint of slave ancestry". Literally.

I tried remain true to my old portrait but with an updated look after 2 years of being a -10.0 pirate in lowsec. My corp title is "chief logistical scumbag".

I went for a look that would match my name. I thought about who could walk up to you and say "My name is ButtFungus" and you would not laugh in his face. This photo looks like a man who could say that.

TBH as I always do in MMO's I tried to create a potrait that looks something like me in RL.

Clothing I chose as 'urban streetwear' didn't really fit my concept and the background I chose to try and give the impression of being in a glass observation dome or something with space visible behind me.

I'm pretty happy with the final result.

I was going for the look of my old portrait, but since i hadnt played in a year my memory was sketchy. I think he looks little like a beardy Cmdr Sheppard...

Oh and the hair's the only one I could stand lol
