Not to totally hijack the thread, but I'd really like to see a few more options in the in-game store... particularly more A) military-style uniforms (there are so few), and B) dresses. I want to be pretty! But instead I'm stuck choosing between what looks like a 60's-era Star Trek knock-off in several different colors, some Bladerunner reject high-collar sets, a bunch of very masculine coats, and this big, dumpy turtleneck thing my character is currently wearing. |

This is my new main. I just resubbed after like 3 years and wanted a fresh start.

Thank you. I worked on it for a long time. I wanted her to have somewhat rounder cheeks, since you don't see cherub-faced girls in EVE often.

Something like that. I endeavor to make my characters have an expression other than straight-faced determined, which is generally what most people (but not all) go for. I'm not trying to intimidate anyone with a character portrait; nobody is going to look at this character and go "whoa! What a bad***!" She's a person with emotions, and a lot of those emotions (when drifting through deep space) revolve around fear. |

The lips are awesome. Rarely does anyone get open lips right.
The face is awesome. Emotion. It's so rare. And although the lower eyelids are at default,
it looks right. (which it doesn't in 99% of all cases)
Eyecolor. Awesome.
Those lips though ... really.
Generally ... awesome.
I think I lost my awesome vocabulary somewhere.
Awesome!
Thank you so much! I frankly think one of the things that a lot of people don't do in the character creator is shorten the faces by pulling the eyes down, and the jaw, nose and mouth up. It strikes me that most of the faces I see in EVE are very long and narrow, and when you look around in the world, most people don't look like that (and many females have very child-like faces with full cheeks and slight jaw lines).
Honestly, I don't think a lot of people devote much time to worrying about the avatars (and, from a practical standpoint, why should they?), so it's not fair at all to criticize them over the choices made (besides, my asthetic ideal is going to be different from the next person's). The game is about the ships and not the little photos of ourselves. Still, I like my characters in all MMOs to look as close to how I imagine them, and I think this one was pretty darned close.
By the way, speaking of pictures, is it wrong that your avatar reminds me of the CG Kefka? |
