Quote: Originally by: Dau ImperiusAye, enough with the old man Amarr routine. Took me three attempts with this avatar just to get him young-looking. I like Amarr. Who says we are all old sods anyways? I'm sure there's ugly Gallente, and Handsome Amarr in the worlds? Makes no sense what-so-ever to limit the avatars 'age' bracket via the original races picture. ...
tried hard myself to create a decent looking amarr. im pretty happy with the result
I've already won this

To be fair, when people chose their character portraits they tend to subscribe to commonly accepted notions of aesthetics within the confines of that race's appearance.
For example, all those Amarr Darth wannabe types have made their portraits according to the common perception of an "Death Knight".
Myself for example, I chose to go with a rock chick look since this is a style that appeals to me.
I just feel sorry for the Caldari since they are so clean cut. It's like going to a cheesy club and seeing clones of the same person with slightly different faces...

Guess I regret spending all of 3 minutes on mine - He's so plain.
you were probably right spending only 3 minutes -- seeing that the Eve client disconnects you and trashes your precvious character designs if you take too long before finally accpeting the looks.
(thats one out of a million easily replicateable things I should bug-report but that I couldn't be bothered for as of yet, shame on me) --

Problem is - we've seen plenty of avatars that looks exactly like yours
And I have a perfectly looking Achura as an alt - whenever it updates that is...

Originally by: Victor Valka I spent a good deal of time modeling my avatar and I am very pleased by the outcome.
Yes. I think mine is very unique.
There's six of us Deitis males in this thread so far and three of us picked the Han Solo wannabe leather vest over white shirt look, including you and me.
I spent hours working on mine, finally got everything the way I wanted, picked a name... disconnected. Erg. Ok, I spent a half hour tweeking again, got everything just so, picked a name again... disconnected. @*#!! Ok, spent 15 minutes tweeking, who cares about the details, picked a name... DISCONNECTED!
WTH!? Spent 47 seconds in a half-arsed attempt to get the look, what was that name? can't remember and it's rejecting my others, screw it, try this... it works! ok, ffs good enough.
Which is why I look like a haroin addict that had his head shaved after he fell asleep on the sidewalk waiting in line for some Star Wars convention.
How's that for unique?

You are wrong. It's not a leather vest over a white shirt. It's one piece, made out of two different materials/colors.
And... guilty as charged.
The selection of decent clothing articles is a little limited on Caldari side. Srsly!

It's quite rare that I see someone that resembles myself. Perhaps it's because I spent a good amount of time on it, perhaps not.
I do have one of the lesser chosen race/bloodline/gender combinations though, that's more likely than not the main reason I see so few like me.

I've seen nothing even close to mine... but I do admit that the Gallente have it really really bad... followed by the Caldari... I think Amarr and Minnies have it good though. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only spent about 15 minutes working on mine, but to lose it to disconnection was a bit frustrating..twice.
The most noticeably repetitive model in my opinion is the Caldari, short hair, unshaven, mercenary looking face. Far too much inbreeding in that bloodline. They really need more variety.
As for my own avatar, it looks like many others of the same race and I had to have the aviators, but there is a fair amount of distinction, given the limited options.

Yes this disconnecting on character creation is an annoying little feature that's been around for ages. Will you have time to get in some pants for ambulation before you're thrown out the door?

These days, I click on unloaded avatar portraits in local/alliance and hope they aren't Civre Male. If they aren't, I tend to get a quick high just from the relief that it isn't one. It doesn't happen often.

I like my me, that said, most of the people who have posted here have gone for dark portraits, with a diffuse light or as little light as possible.
I never liked my first char's portrait, cos once i got ingame that first time i noticed that everyone was just like me, so i did something brighter that looked a it more like a forward looking military thinker

Mine is rather similar too.
Pretty much standard Jim Mei male look. I tried to give him sort of a nasty sneer, but you really can't see it that well. I just wish we could pick other images for our avatars, or that the selection options were a bit more diverse. I would willingly sacrifice all the fancy backgrounds for more head choices. Better headgear choices would be nice too. I think the main reason that you see so many other Jim Mei like mine is that the headgear/hair choices are mostly freaky crap like "Ambassador Molari" hair, no hair at all, or freaky things stuck to your head. The shirt selections don't help either. Jin Mei are supposed to be "Japanese" in culture, but they have frigging Dracula collars on half their outfits.
We need better Avatar choices CCP. And at least one free avatar change per character.
