Model is gorgeous without being waxy and lifeless. Expression is full of character.
10/10
Except for the fact that using that blink is confusing. I'm not sure if she's squinting poutily at the camera (looks a bit too congested for that), if she's squinting into the light (too weak an expression for that), if she's unhappily sleeping (too much tension in the face for that), or what's that actually supposed to be.
Personally, I'd try again so that you can see a bit of eye. Give her a flirty schmilky squinty face, that makes the most sense.
But wow. Good work. Also, Ishukone Okusaika best Okusaika. _o/
o_o still overwhelmed by your kind words, Neph I really don't deserve them!
The idea behind her take was simply to replicate the face she'd have when the camera's flash was way too bright LOL
Background is the only one I use (53) and it works wonders on most portraits by subtly shifting the focus to the player from the background, and forth again. Lovely colours too, can't beat in-game nebulae :)
The angle works well because I think it's a simple one and more of anything - the simplistic nature of standing in front of a camera waiting for a picture to be taken, to be taken aback by the flash - was what I was going for. "******* flash"
Model is based after my friend irl :) She's quite pretty, I know, better without her armour I think though
Her eyes are open, but a tiny fraction - if I have time (and if I'm drunk enough) I may re-do the expression, but I think I just got it right the first time out of luck!
Your Pilot put simply, in my opinion, is the backup beef that is called once Fleet Commanders have lost hope in their top ranking generals and commanders.
That unyearning, dead, murderer of a million, enslaver of untold billions look of pure malicious contempt is what causes onlooking pilots and generals alike to recoil in methodical and unspoken respect in your presence.
That is even before they take notice of your facial tattoos, of which undoubtedly speak and label of forgotten memories, truths and pains of which ultimately bracket your pilot's facial features into one that would command instant, fearful attention from anyone smart enough to of already stop speaking over you. Tough/10!
