Out of Pod Experience

kinda looks like u got a hole through ur face/eye idk (suggest moving light source to avoid?) sick beard, cybernetic makes look more spacey clothing fab background suggest factions fits pretty decently character stands out really well pretty decent overall

8.5/10 would be dazed by the look of hole through face again but overall pretty decent looking

4/10 your caldari but you look like you got amarr color scheme .... im guessing daddy was a no good blood raider in amarr low sec and mommy was a caldari businesswoman type with a *strong and independent* attitude.

Wow. I really like this. Sadly, the expression leaves a bit to be desired. You look quite dull, try introducing some character into your face! Staring straight ahead with a half-smile towards an off-frame point is very unengaging.

Otherwise, colors+framing+lighting on point. I'd suggest a *bit* closer framing, but dat armour tho. I really love your facial detail. Gorgeous.

8/10

It's hard to do a good profile shot - but yours is good! The hair frames the face well, and the colors and shadows work - my only suggestion is that the background might be a little light in comparison to the rest of the shot.

9/10

You are dressed very distinctive from other pilots, but your pale skin starkly clashes with your dark clothes and setting. While I do like the pose which gives off an expression that suggests that you'd rather get back to work, you are wearing a rugged vest over a nice shirt. I can't imagine what job you must do, certainly not one working with tools or engines. 7/10

Angsty teen look with the eyeliner.

7.5/10

I've looked at it long and hard and I can't find a single criticism.

She looks like a harsh, cold commander, bordering on cruel. Not a pirate, but a capsuleer who enjoys playing military command structures to her own advantage.

And the avatar itself. You make that background work. And a perfect play of shadows across her face, and I mean perfect, because there's no weird glitches, blemishes; look at that nose shadow... and the way it plays over the left eye...

Great choice of eyes as well, with the tiny irises. That's a thousand AU stare if there is one; cool, empty, deeply awesome.

The expression is what really ties the whole thing together.

And the face augmentations! ♥♥♥ The unusual, chiseled quality of the face is all the more spectacular because of it.

Good gravy, I'm having a hard time trying to think of just how to describe how perfect your new portrait is. Its another example of how deeply unique a portrait can actually be made, if someone puts in the effort. And its my new favourite.

...I need to go have a smoke.

Perfection/10.

10/10. No question. This is a spectacular portrait.

Frankly, I think nearly ever one of your portraits is a 10/10 for me. Miiral is a gorgeous woman and you've got great taste in composition, lighting, and color.

Your avatar's always been a tough one for me. The face is an instant classic, with rich texture and shadow enhanced by the tattooing. The red's a nice touch, too. Expression... well, you goddamn nailed it. Those eyes are stunning.

However, the dreads just kill this. In the thumbnail, the weird off-white makes everything confusing, and blown up, the bizarre pillow-like texture they have ruins the depth of your face.

The lighting doesn't help the hair--while the strong key lighting works wonderfully in enhancing your face, it just makes your hair even duller and more boring. Additionally, your choice of background is dismal. The dark colors don't help the hair feel unified, and the blue/green colors make no sense against the rich tones of the skin and the red jacket. It's just a really bad background anyways, and it's the final nail in the coffin for this avatar. First impression is one of something just randomly thrown together, and it's only upon closer inspection that the care in the the character is evident.

2/10--it's not fun to look at. Your face is an easy 9/10, but I can't see that in the thumbnail because of the loose framing, and the rest of the train wreck of composition draws my eye away from it when blown up.

My advice? Just... lose the dreads. Go bald and wait for CCP to release a better model. Change your background to one that works. Tighten up your framing once your hair's gone. It'll be really good-looking, but you will lose the "wild mystic dude" feel. If you have to go for that, redye your hair to something that's not the color of dirty socks and maybe works better with your lighting.
