@ Zimmy Zeta...

Have you ever seen Joel Peter Witkins work? Pretty incredible black and white photography, almost always "set up" in disturbing/grotesque style scenes. He reciprocates classical paintings in photography quite often too. I have 3 or 4 of his art books. Great stuff.

If you run into more than 2 a**holes in a day, you should probably look in the mirror.

Character AND good use of background. Very solid. 9/10.

@Zimmy: Your avatar has always been amazing. Sort of a mona lisa in the sense that it is a very difficult expression to recreate, yet you managed to. Don't listen to the haters.

@Akirei: A lot of people go for the youthful look and end up looking weak. Grats on a pose and expression that shows balances the port out nicely. 9/10 only because I personaly prefer the "looking at you" poses.

@Tessa Scyne:
I like the face and expression. The pose, maybe also due to the clothes, looks very rigid, though, which doesn't fit the mischievous smile. I still like it and it has a high recognition value, imo :) Background fits great, too.
9/10

@ shogun archer:
OK, I did a short google search and noticed that I already know some of his work, but I have to admit that I didn't know his name. As a long-time /x/ denizen I have seen pictures like these posted regularly. But in all honesty, they are a little too "artistic" for my taste, if you wanna creep people out less is always more; I like those deeply disturbing ancient b/w pictures where you don't have the slightest idea what's going on but somehow feel nauseated, stuff like this (open at own risk):

@Akirei Scytale: why, thank you very much kind sir. Slightly wondering why you are changing your avatar so often, it has always been a good one (ok, that stuff with the white shirt and J-Pop emo haircut was a little off, but all other versions have been really nice).

@ Serena Serene: Good picture, I can see that you put some effort into it. But it doesn't work for me. Too few shadows, skin too smooth and the eyes don't look realistic at all. Then the glossy lips that look almost photorealistic.
If you want to go for the comicbook-look, you should remove the gloss effects from the lips and maybe beef up the contrasts a little more.
If you want to go for the realistic look, do something about the eyes and maybe change the lightning.


I wonder if it is even possible to derail a thread that is already 280 pages long... Sounds like a challenge to me, so feel free to post creepy black and white pictures! Big smile

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.

Your avatar remind me an happy socipath killer that's looking for her next prey. I like the style, well blended with the lights. A solid 8/10

Well, the lighting doesn't quite fit the pose or the background.

I'm going to go with 6/10.

Like the look of the avatar, but there seems to be too much background competing for attention. May just be me though. 8/10

I like the sultry eyes and slight head tilt. Good shading as well. 8/10

Interesting pose, but gives out that broken neck impression, so it doesn't quite work (for me at least). Needs a stronger eyeliner too imo. Overall 8/10 for effort and being original.

Nice color, lighting, everything's just polished up good. The only gripe I'd have (being picky) is that the eyes need a bit more life/personality. 9/10

Fish lips are fishy... that lipstick may be the most outrageously awful thing i've seen in a while, frankly. Not only makes your lips look like fish lips, but also they look fake. It's hard to judge the rest so will give out a 5/10 because ti's not randomyzed, at least.
