Just the guys who make girls, now. When you make that girl do you make
a.) The girl of your dreams. Meaning it'd be a dream come true if she were real and ... actually would speak to you?
b.) The girl who got away...because she ran a helluva lot faster than you?
c.) A close approximation of mumsy at age 18?
d.) Your neighbor's wife...the one with marksmanship experience?
e.) YOUR wife, girlfriend or sister?
Thanks for responding. This has had me curious for a very l o n g time.

I just keep hitting Random till I find one that looks decent. Maybe a little tweak here and there, add clothes, and off to the races.
While I don't go there to design a dream girl or anything, they aren't women I'd turn down lol.. Well with the exception of one, but she's Caldari, and I donno what happened when I made her..
As for why, well if I'm gonna play the game, I'd like to have something nice to look at between missions, fleets, whatever :) |

I'm my second favourite anime character (and has been for over two decades) and she's my interpretation of what she'd look like in the Eve universe sans tigerskin bikini. My favourite character (this girls fella) was already taken.
Thanks Trebor for making it REALLY difficult to get the DVDs for Urusei Yatsura outside of the US by the way. It cost over a 1000euros just for the TV series not to be a pirate.
For the rest my mains are all male, alts are all female. Two of the girls look like ex's but it wasn't intentional when I made them. On second thought that's BS. I was with one of them at the time I made her and she's unsubbed atm because I'm not exactly fond of her. The rest I fiddled with for a bit until I got bored with them...kinda like real life. |

i have 2-3 of these accounts/characters.
My old roommate I let 'create' them, and he did them based on some of my favorite movie actresses- he'd find one of their photos (from a movie poster or something) and then try to mimic the pose and clothing and features etc.
One of which i've gotten 3 times now "X your char looks like Y".
Honestly my character design model is the following:
Step 1.) Hit random, three times. Step 2.) Name Character Step 3.) Create character
Lets just say some turned out better than others, long and the short of it I don't really pay attention to any avatars though. |

I'm a lifelong artist. I don't recall why I started Achura (oh yeah, my roommates told me to), and aside from that, there was no irl motivation for starting with Achura base features.
Each race in EVE has different restrictions on the topography of the face (as you know). I suppose it's to maintain a distinct look for each one, and I have to say it's successful.
The last generation of avatars didn't draw me in, and I didn't spend much time on them.

This latest gen of avatars, however, had more promise, so I spent more time.
Their features were restricted somewhat, so I didn't try to fight that to make them look like anyone in particular. I did, however, follow some basic artistic / facial geometry guidelines to make them attractive, starting with 6636. Placement of the eyes, mouth, and width of the nose, softness of the chin... all made to look appealing using the rules I observed in my art.
I spent a resculpt copying that character's face to 6635, and meant to do the same to the rest of the rains. But after successfully reproducing 6's facial features onto 5, I realized I was losing their individual identities. 5 and 6 side by side.
Their RP is they are exact clones of another character of mine, but it turns out I'd prefer them to look slightly different.
My other resculpts include this character, who has that unmistakable (and indelible) Eskimo / North East Asian look. So I went with it. Didn't try to subdue it at all. She's proud of her heritage.
Another one is this Deteis femme, who I made every effort to kill that damn Deteis chin. I see a lot of Deteis women who got hit with the big chin gene, which I think is a shame.
As for why women avatars... I don't know. I seem to always pick the strong female characters. It was the Rogue in Diablo, femme Shep in Mass Effect, Female vault dwellers in Fallout.
Oh, though I do have a thing for brunettes with fair skin and ice blue eyes. So if I ever allowed myself to idolize any of my characters, I'd have to say it is this one.

Thanks. 8 was actually an unsuccessful attempt at cloning 6 again. I cloned 6 onto 9, and jumped straight into trying it again (with 8)... but the process is hard on the eyes, and I got sloppy.
Observation is an artistic skill, and when you're doing it, your eyes are basically doing physical work. It takes its toll.
I felt relieved after 8 turned out different than I had planned, and she's the one that made me realize I should keep variety in their faces.

That's interesting.... i don't have any kind of artistic background, so the new avatar system proved very tough to exploit. My first avatars were horrible and it took no less than 5 resculpts to create the definitive version of Ishtanchuk. When creating Indahmawar, I had enough trouble with making a beautiful face as to bother with RP. Yet when I rescultped them later, I tried to give them a modicum of family face, specially the noses.
What was really difficult and led to some crazy moments, was figuring how to make up them. Again, with no artistic background, I had to learn with a mix of basic color theory and specific beauty tips from women websites (Like: "make up tips for blue eyed brunettes"). That often conflicted with CCP's art choices on what colors are available for make up and the fact that our avatars wear no make up foundation (so Khanid cheeks are permanently colored, FAI).
It was fun and a bit weird, but I think it was worthy. I think that most of time my girls are decently maked up and that contributes to the "make them beautiful" intent.
(Anyway, I change make up patterns less often than clothing and pose... making up is difficult!)

For me, none of those really. Not at least consciously.
This character was resculpted a little while ago and certainly didn't fit any of the OP criteria originally. Nor does she now.
Of the three female characters I have, each of them are different and I didn't initially put much thought into any of them. When this particular character started to become almost a 2nd main (if that's even possible), I just thought she 'deserved' more effort than whatever the CC generated for the start of the creation process.

My characters are not modeled off of anyone in particular other than a few of them being sisters which is reasonable to think they would look similar to each other. They are just my interpretation of what a decent looking female Achura would look like to me. I have never really intended them to be supermodels or anything like that.
This particular character has been rescupted several times just so I could get that sister look nailed down and I think I have nailed it now. I'm very happy with her.
I have noticed that I tend to stick with rounded facial features, dark hair, greenish eyes and an average healthy weight with my characters. l have tried lighter hair colors in the past but it usually always ends up going back to dark/brunette, guess that's what I prefer

Speaking of the okaseki sisters (commissar kate, colonel selene), especially kate.. she is as some players know, the hottest avatar I've ever seen.
It's also worth noting that some faces aren't possible anymore. Kate's is among them. When I redid 8, the restrictions on chin height had changed, and I wasn't able to draw the chin up to the old height.
A basic rule about female chins (aesthetically speaking, irl / in general) is softer is feminine, and square is masculine. Softer jawlines were possible in the past, but not anymore.
I'm not sure if CCP periodically adjusts the restrictions per race, to ensure variety over time, but unless the chin thing is allowed again, a Commissar Kate clone (and 7's face, which I never retouched), are simply impossible now.
This is 8's old face. It really, really hurts to admit this, but I miss it a lot. I don't even bother asking for help from CCP because I know changing it is practically impossible, for the technical attention required and the settings being lost forever, more than likely.
I'm kind of sad now.

I'd like to add that Kate's and Selene's skin tones are no longer available to Achura either. They got removed when CCP made the skin tones persistent across all the races/bloodlines. I never intend to change them either as they are relics from the old system.

That's a very interesting way to apply artistic techniques to avatars. I think you were quite successful across the board. In regards to the cloning, I really wish CCP would give us some slider values to work with alongside the push/pull format.

Thanks~
I've made a F&I requesting a direct character clone option for resculpts, but it never went anywhere. The suggestion did open up the possibility of character customization as a new profession, but that was about it for the utility past "because RP."
Devs have commented that character cloning is impractical and more than a little technically intensive (so no dice).

This is another resculpt of mine, an Achura who I decided would go full Geisha. I made her nose somewhat beakish, to make her more personable / down to earth / realistic.
I've tried turning different races into stunners, but it broke the sense of realism for me. It can be done, though. I think the most successful examples of breaking the mold goes to Khanid femmes. They turn out quite successful but it's a striking departure from typical Khanid.

Maybe it makes me crazy, but.
My characters aren't modelled after anyone irl, but they have distinct personalities in my mind. I don't know when it happened, but RP with them is automatic now, and I don't have to try... they tell me how they think or feel, and there's no conscious algorithm that I use for it. I don't identify with them, but I recognize them as real people, more or less. They're not Mary Sues, either.

Ha!
I actually rolled this character back before Incarna, when races affected your attributes, so that's probably why I went out of my way to break the mold.
Great thread!

That's really nice work - loads of personality. I can certainly see where you are coming from when you say you characters tell you how they think and feel. I'm starting to think my portraits are a bit bland.
I always seem to screw up the eyes for example and never notice until after I've finished. Did the same with this one but I'm not that bothered with this character because all she does is research.

Not sure what you mean about the eyes being screwed up. They look pretty good to me.

i spent way more time on my male main. i post with this char and wanted a distinct "look".
sometimes i think i went a little crazy with the makeup. definetly my first time.
i have also spent hundreds of millions on accesories that i have decided i dont like as much as my original look.

Very interesting. I hadn't thought about it like that, but it makes a ton of sense.

The character creater imposes very strict limits to what you can or can't do with your avatar face (and body). Rain already pointed that out. This means - more or less - that you simply can't pursue any of the options given in the OP, even if you wanted to. What you can do, is try to make your character look pretty (or in some cases try to make it not look ugly).
Since I'm not an artist like Rain, I use(d) a more technical approach. I created frontal and lateral Marquardt Beauty Mask overlays in GIMP. Then I made screenshots while being in the character creation process, loaded them into GIMP and used the overlays to determine where I needed to make adjustments.
After being done with the bone structure, the next important thing is make up. Do not underestimate what you can accomplish by applying some color to your face. Especially eyeliner and shadow can really help to give some depth. I think I don't need to mention that make up options are really limited, too (I'd like to see some metallic tones, especially gold, silver and bronze among other things).
(And while we're at it, I would like to see some more options for hairstyles, too. )
Last not least is posture and light. It is possible to enhance or hide certain aspects that way. With regard to posture I used some professional celeb phots as inspiration.
All this might sound like a lot of work, but it actually isn't as bad as it seems (especially once you have the overlays ready). My favorite creation is this one: https://image.eveonline.com/character/92978327_1024.jpg. Probably would have made her my main, if not for the 30M SP difference between her and my actual main at the time of creation.

It's also worth noting that some faces aren't possible anymore. Kate's is among them. When I redid 8, the restrictions on chin height had changed, and I wasn't able to draw the chin up to the old height. A basic rule about female chins (aesthetically speaking, irl / in general) is softer is feminine, and square is masculine. Softer jawlines were possible in the past, but not anymore. I'm not sure if CCP periodically adjusts the restrictions per race, to ensure variety over time, but unless the chin thing is allowed again, a Commissar Kate clone (and 7's face, which I never retouched), are simply impossible now. This is 8's old face. It really, really hurts to admit this, but I miss it a lot. I don't even bother asking for help from CCP because I know changing it is practically impossible, for the technical attention required and the settings being lost forever, more than likely. I'm kind of sad now. I'd like to add that Kate's and Selene's skin tones are no longer available to Achura either. They got removed when CCP made the skin tones persistent across all the races/bloodlines. I never intend to change them either as they are relics from the old system.
Oh yes. My pre-Incarna girls also have those "legacy" skintones. Yiole haves a creamy white which can't be found nowhere in the current ones, and Ishtanchuk's and Indahmawar's redish hue was totally removed from the creator. These old types just look better than the new ones, for some reason.
It's not that the new tones are bad, though. I learned with the Focks that they are quite realistic... To make up them, I learned that black people have both cold and warm skin types, so women must bear that in mind when making up, and the CC actually reflects it. Matilda Cecilia haves a cold skin type, meaning that when you look carefully at it, it is more blue than yellow or red, and so warm make up patterns look better on her than cold ones. a ncie touch.
It is very unlikely that I ever change the make up for the Focks, though, as the CC lacks like half the palette needed to make up darker skins... as someone pointed above, the absence of metal colors is noticeable, and also the fact that there are no violets of any kind.

This is another one of my fierce black chicks. I actually ended up liking this character so much I saved her from her designated alt hauler status and transferred her to another account and am currently considering making her my main.
Even though there are some serious limitations to the Eve character creator (all Amarr men look old and mean, all Gallente - Gallente men look like brothers etc.) you can still create some works of art so it makes me happy to see people who have put a little effort into creating something interesting. Whether it is something beautiful or something scary and mean looking. Or fierce. Like a drag queen. |

I didn't spend an excess amount of time making my toons. I mean more than 5min, but less than 15.. not counting when I got them their clothing :p Gotta dress up my Spaceship Barbie's.
As I said earlier, just a bunch of hitting random till I saw something I liked.. maybe a tweak here or there (generally to hair), and then off to the races.
For the record, Gallente (Race) women look best imho :p Never had one of them fail me lol. |

Since forever I play video games I always picked female characters, not for any of those reasons.
But for the simple fact that they are a lot more pleasant and interesting to look at.
Depending on the game and kind of character I choose a different personality and looks.
Its got nothing to do with ANY of what you said.
For example I have 8 female blood elves in world of watercraft 6 of them level 100.
The other reason why I don't like to pick a male character is because I would feel extremely gay.
The only male character I ever had was a paladin in Diablo II .. or games with no other choice. |

I generally have a specific look in mind. I usually spend a lot of time twiddling things in the character creator.
I do have a lot of alts.
I dunno how true this is, but I reckon old school PnP roleplayers like myself spend much more time on character creation. I might not do the whole RP thing in EVE very much, but all my characters have a concept and a 'personality' and a backstory.
My stable of characters is probably 60/40 female/male but none of the female ones are fantasies or reproductions. That said, Lucretia was designed to be a borderline psychotic goth chick and I've known a few of those ;) |

The first character I made was based off my visualization of a character in a novel I'm writing. Most of my alt characters were largely a mixture of randomness and fixing them so they weren't butt ugly. Making an idealized girl of my dreams would be impossible, the software is too limited. Oh CCP did make the software to allow a lot of variation, but it is within constraints have major limitations. Eyes in particular are limited in their customization. |

I ended up with Gallente Jin-Mei for this character due to the original attribute options available.
When the new character creator was released I was playing around with it a lot on SiSi so once it went live on TQ I had a pretty good crasp for what I wanted to do. I have not done any resculpts since, I even have the free one given out years ago available.
The original portrait looked like this and I tried to keep the look in the new one.

Hi Serene, to answer your inquiry about us guys making female avatars, I am pretty well experienced in this regard. This avatar you see is my only female avatar here in Eve, she's humble, she's what I would say an average girl next door. Someone you can get to know on a friendly neighbor basis so to speak.
Ashlar is also quite the person that you can count on to take a situation and go with it to get the results desired as far as a successful outcome of anything that falls in her path. She may not be a beauty queen by no means but does in my mind looks nice enough for me.
Being successful is another trait that I try to bring out as a fierce fighter in which she comes out swinging for all it's worth (not with standing her killboards btw) and tried to win a fight in some of the most unequal terms to date.
Ashlar is NOT the ultimate female of any I ever created not only in Eveonline, but also in Second Life where it all began in October 2006. Second Life was and still is the springboard I used at that time to jump in with both feet to literally learn about myself in reality, long hidden feelings about me, long hidden ideas about myself.
Creating a female avatar has it's advantages and disadvantages as well, some I won't reveal. I can only suppose to further expound on your inquiry is that as a member of a relatively small community in Second Life where only 18% of that community is made up of LBGT members.
Other communities where I have female avatars such as World of Warcraft and Guildwars has allowed me to experience life as a female in some respects over others, I say this because this has allowed me to unleash that which was hidden and my friends world wide known about me otherwise, some have gotten very protective of me because they care and love me irregardless.
I hope this will at least give you some idea especially from someone who been there, done it and still does.
As far as sitting at the character creation screen, I took my time to see which race I wanted to portray, it takes some time to play around with the appearance with eye shadow, makeup, hair and hair color. Sometimes I have to start over and keep working until I get the look I want. Every now and then I will change my hair style and pose to keep things fresh, even changing clothes as well.
So, I hope this helps you to try to understand why some guys will make a female avatar, and not one of our real selves. |

Depends on what character and for what purpose, with this one, I just decided to take an oriental looking avatar and make it as caucasian as possible for my own amusement, see how far the character creation mechanics could be pushed.
For my high sec alt, I resculpted her to look warmer, more friendly and open to the public I was trying to talk with as a CSM candidate.
In other places, I made them look a female version of myself out of curiousity.

In other places, I made them look a female version of myself out of curiousity. Oh and I tend to avoid male AVs, they usually look ... too macho, like sports jocks that have nothing to say for themselves. In EVE's case they are usually too serious and brooding looking, like a bunch of depressives. Liafcipe9000 wrote:Now let me ask the same question but rewritten for the few RL girls out there.

In this game and on these forums I've seen plenty of comedy male avatars. Even some "fabulous" male avatars, that definitely have a flaming sense of humor. But I would agree it's usually more fun to sculpt a female avatar.

Gotta cake on the eye shadow to make the eyes look bigger. The weirdest thing about Vherokior females though is the chin and jaw line, it's huge and looks swollen. They've kinda got jowls and goiters.
As for the OP, I guess I made a female because the females in this game can look pretty cool. The males in this game are kind of boring. They are also kind of weird looking, particularly in the nose. The hairstyles are mostly awful. etc.
Didn't try to make this one look like anyone. Goal was to make a hot badass chick with a cool name that looked somewhat ethnically ambiguous. Oh, and had to be a Minmatar. |

No surprise there.
It's obvious you are a guy just by glancing at your portrait. Women players don't tend to make a ho to be their avatar. They generally make realistic proportions and tasteful or understated makeup.
There are exceptions, of course. But not many.

None of the above.
Dersen needed an alt. I decided to make the alt his sister, so I pulled up a large-scale portrait of Dersen and moved most of the characteristics over: long face, high cheekbones, large mouth, cold blue eyes, strong and athletic build, questionable sanity, and she's the more artistically inclined one (University of Caille instead of Fed Navy).
Beauty wasn't a consideration. I went for "could plausibly free-climb a 2,000 foot cliff just because it's there." |

They generally make realistic proportions and tasteful or understated makeup. There are exceptions, of course. But not many. Mr Epeen  Hey, there handsom.

Random examples of successful Khanids pulled from Newedenfaces Tez SaurusKaaeliaaAriel OrdionPyralissaMaybe it makes me crazy, but. My characters aren't modelled after anyone irl, but they have distinct personalities in my mind. I don't know when it happened, but RP with them is automatic now, and I don't have to try... they tell me how they think or feel, and there's no conscious algorithm that I use for it. I don't identify with them, but I recognize them as real people, more or less. They're not Mary Sues, either. Kaaeliaa can't be a random Khanid example.  Khanid, and proud. On topic though, with the exception of market alts/those that rarely see the light of day, I try to mold them into the roll/profession they take within New Eden. |

Destiny always seems decades away, but suddenly it's not decades away; it's right now. But maybe destiny is always right now, right here, right this very instant, maybe.

I had a look at my wife, made my 2nd avatar (this one) like her and be happy with it. She was a bit irritated at first but filed it under "my_weird_husband" and were ok with it. My other female avatar is a copy of my sister. My reasoning for both were that I like to have a female character that I like to look at and since I am a male (main is male) I thought my best shot would be to copy females I like.

As a white male, mid 20s: I have always idealized Asian women, I think. As a result I tend to create Asian women when I can. In actual practice, it actually seems to be that white women are more my speed. I think the idealization of Asian women is because of their relative scarcity in the US, at least where I live... Apparently most Asians live in like "China Town" type places around here. |

I have one and he's my hubby, with his name too, haha. Only problem is the beard selection is horrible. He has naturally espresso brown hair and naturally gray and black and red beard. Weird I know but I guess that's why real life will always trump virtual life, more detail!
