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

I was going for the "dammit! would you take this picture already? my bladder isn't as strong as it used to be" look.

In all honesty I was going for a female, toned down version of this. Not specifically, but this sort of aesthetic. Also a sort of tomboyish look.

I wanted mine to look like my old char.

My alt is pretty close. This guy looks nothing like he used to, so I decided that during his 5 years of capsuleering he'd managed to get over his slavery-induced malnutrition, bought some new clothes to replace the rags the Amarr gave him, and decided to go for the "space biker" look.

Then it's pretty close again.

I attempted to recreate my old character's facial structure. Everything else - clothes, hair, background, lighting is wrong, but there were no acceptable recreations of those elements.

I wanted to look like my name sake from the time of Dark Angel, exuding cuteness with a hint of sexuality, you know all the feline dna mixed in and all.
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

I, like karkur, when for my IRL look.
I spent embarrassing amount of time trying to sculpt myself in the character creator but I'm really happy with the end result Smile

I was aimed for Kratos but also was inspired by typical look of villains and spies from old soviet posters.

I was going more for the whole picture, was more aiming for a somewhat bright light, slight overexposure, low saturation on colors and a background that hints to a location pretty much forgotten by all.

And I'd say the end result is that you look like a refugee from the WOD MMO.


I didn't have really any aim at all in my whole appearance. I just screwed around with the editor at random, then screwed around with lighting and angles, and came up with this. It didn't look terrible so I went with it.

At least I don't look like someone diagnosed with testicular cancer.

As I said above, testicular cancer.

All the traits you would not expect in a Serial Killer. Plan Successful.

If you will excuse me I just got a Courier Mission to Escort a Load of Tourists.

I have a feeling I will fail it.


Actually all those traits are the one i would expect from serial killers..

Serial killers are charming. usually.


Serial killers are charming, because Psychopaths have the ability to imitate personality traits, and don't generally have much trouble hiding their own. They usually pick a personality profile that makes people feel safe, and is likely to give them the impression that they can trust this person.

edit:

Regarding topic: I just made a Muscle-bound soldier type. The pose changes, and is the only thing that shows any definition of character. Last one was intended to look slightly aggressive, and maybe even hostile, previous was intended to show a mild-mannered character, and this one is back to the soldier type.

I tried to replicate the mood of my old character portrait. Unfortunately, I joined just at the time the switch over was made and my old portrait was not cached Sad

Since I lost the hard as nails military guy, made out of implants, with a big implant that looks like a lol He-Man sword on his back look..

I went for a easy going merc with a dark secret, laughing inside about a knowing joke you probably wouldn't appreciate.
