Fal Shepard: A rather typical "minmatar rebel" portrait, but definetly one of the better ones in this category. Extra points for using a hairstyle I never got to work right on my character and making it work for you. Lighting is a bit gloomy but then again fits the overall mood of the portrait well. 9/10.


Something to consider when rating Tein: I made this particularly with the smaller in-game frames in mind, which is what most people will ever look at. I know there are clipping issues with the bigger picture.

EDit: Curses!

Lea-Marie: I'm not a gentleman so I don't prefer blondes, but all in all the character looks pretty good. Portrait IMO could be better, the pose is kind of strange. But I know it is hard to get the right kind of lighting without ******** poses, so I'll give you that. However I would suggest perhaps to avoid full-torso portraits in such cases. The lighting feels somewhat out of place as well. Overall, 6/10.

Edit: Nice use of Vherokior colors in the tats and lipstick. Maybe she could be more tribal looking. Looks totally cyber punk but without much visible hardware. Could use more cleavage too. I rate 8/8 Blink

Keep playing with her look and lighting too.

Awesome use of the red & black colour contrast. Kind of hard to see much unfortunately since she's 'minimized' in comparison to most avatar pictures, and there isn't much lighting. 7/10.

Nice Come at me / What's up? pose.
On second thought, it might be a look of someone analyzing the person behind the camera.

You look very dangerous, and sexy. I like the brown/red/rust look going on here.

8/10.

Somehow the head looks almost alien-like due to the chosen angle.

While i understand the effect you are going for, the eyes and mouth seem to be disconnected from each other - Like some creature pretending to be human, trying to show an emotion it doesn't understand.

The lighting also seems not just cold, but unfitting.

I want to like this avatar, but somehow it feels like a puzzle where the pieces don't fit together... You can see the overall picture, but also a lot of gaps.

4/10

very clean.
i like how the hair and slight highlight around the eyes make it stand out. (an the contrast of the dark eye brows with white hair, i need to try that someday)

but the background is just a little off center to me (idk, think it would look better perfectly behind the head)

and the nose is perfectly sized

9/10

You look like you were ready to get your picture taken, but then you spotted something shiny off to the side. Other than that and looking very generic... 7/10

Immediate points off for the badly chosen lighting angle. Darkness, when used well, adds a certain flair to the picture, but here it plainly blocks out a part of the face rather than emphasizing it.

Not sure about the pose. It looks like the character is being distracted by something during the picturetaking, rather than it being a deliberate pose.

Now, the face itself is actually rather well done, if basic - Except for the eyes. They're gorgeous. It's just such a damn shame that one of them isn't visible at all!!!!

There's potential, but it's squandered.... I should give it a 5, but the eyes make it a 6/10.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Simple and effective. Everything from the bi-color hairstyle to the background works to make an agreeable portrait, displaying a serene beauty. And yet the eyes... those are not some eyes you'd like to cross. Maybe is not the prettiest Sebiestor around, but is a very nice portrait easy to recognize and pleasant to look at. Will say 9/10.

A classy lookin' gal. I'm somewhat new, but I haven't seen a whole lot avatars that give off a good elegant, intelligent, attractive vibe. If she was real, we'd go for drinks. That is of course until I get shot down, defaulting to the next post above.

9/10

Decent lighting, though the background does not fit. You may want to switch it for either less colorful lighting or a more colorful background :)

The expression is kinda strange. It's somewhere in between tired, 'D'awww!' and 'That silly thing again?' with a sprinkle of 'Do i really have to?' It can use a little refinement, what do you want your character to express?

The face itself has very good proportions. It's not the prettiest avatar, but she looks very 'believable'. Very real. Almost someone you could just walk into right now. It has a very unassuming aura about it, which is actually quite nice amongst most other avatars in EVE.

The lighting and expression mean points off, but the avatar itself is very well done. I'm going with a 7/10 to motivate you to change those first two things a little :)

Pretty, with plenty of lighting. Unfortunately there's just not much going on here. It's not that it's bad, it's just not amazing either. 6.5/10.
