ahhh well.
Thx for the compliment lol.

But thats the way it is .
When they think you've reached the "pinaccle" of your achievements , whatever you do next will be compared back to that point.
At that point fore on , a breakthrough... a complete change in the philosophy of portrait design will be needed lol.

I am awaiting that burp of creativity lol.

Onto your portrait ,its alright , albeit the BOOZOOKAS are a bit unnecessary , not to mention... it lacks something of ... livability , the portrait is not alive...
Its not talking to me...

so

That gaze ...
would part the sea of women, every single of them wishing to be stared upon while Zuroku Podiene is passing through.

I sort of agree with Ivy.

While the ideal female features are pristine and sharp and we can safely say that your 2 girls there doesn't really have such features. However it is also what makes them very realistic. Only a few women out there have the ideal features.

Chloe has always been one of my favourites of yours (if i remember correctly, its hard to differ them), but the new angle makes her lip look too large. Which is a shame.

Sheryl got a strong matarian look as you say, but the matarian look she got is the brutor look and the brutor look makes me think of the african look and by the african look I think of dark skin, which she doesn't have. You could probably tone down these features while still haveing a slight brutor look so Sheryl will look a bit more coherent.

Here is something to rate. I made that portrait on the testserver about a month ago.

Edit: Where are my manners.

@Alice

SIDEFACE!!!!!!!

Nice profile view and position. It looks a little like drawn, wich I like.
The colours are working too. Perhaps some makeup, since the face looks a little bland.
Oh! And such a nice displayed ponytail is always ++

i'll re-rate antony here because of his changes.

this is a drastic and very big improvement. that is all.

7.5/10

Very bright background and plenty of light, no omnious shadows, yet you manage to come off impressive. You got a very brutor-like (muscled) build. Clearly an older man who looks afetr his physique.
You also make the glasses work and I like your eyes! The frown/wink seems to say *You ain't seen nothin' yet!*

9/10, because you took on a creative approach on your character, not often one sees an impressive older male avatar with a bright background & light.

@Arashi

You must be the alt of Celeste Taylor. I have actually been wondering why you haven't been here that much, considering how much isk and time you put into WiS.

As for your char. She is quite skinny, abit too skinny and it makes her head look oversized and the arms look artificial. However there the pose is great and she got a nice attitude. I love the smile and the eyes. You could probably work abit with the background and the light to make some nice effects.
