The blend of textures and colors in your AV looks almost as good as the blend of flavors and preserving agents in Quafe tastes. 10/10 |

Always loved your AV. Would say that the strong lighting in the background and the generally uniform lighting in the foreground make it somewhat... off.

In any other game it'd be a very cool one, but unfortunately, the whole "hooded face in shadow looking grim thing" is a very common Amarr pose. I get the whole Palpatine thing going on, but while it's a very solid version of that pose, it's still nothing new or interesting. The only thing mildly exceptional is the background choice, which brings it from mediocre to an overused pose with a very good palette.
I don't know. I really love those colors. 7/10
Wait I just zoomed in and saw those glowing eyes. Nope. I get what you were going for, but you should be looking down instead of straight at the camera. Also that *very square* face doesn't go with the soft background. You need something harsher. Sorry, final score is a 5/10.

Background and lighting work well together. Expression is nice, although stronger/more interesting lighting would draw the details of your face out more. Right now, everything is so grey. Frankly, the jacket just doesn't belong. 8/10

Your profile is hardly a staged photo. Positioning, face, lighting, all say candid shot.
However, it's not a good candid shot. As far as angles go, it's extremely boring. Your odd positioning is odd, not intriguing. I'm not sure what your expression means. Candid-like portraits are great because they capture the character of the subject. Looking at your profile, I don't feel I've learned anything.
Ultimately, I'm forced to wonder if it's a meh candid if a phenomenally crappy staged photo.
3/10, but the idea has strong potential. Tweak it.

Azda's hair feels disjointed from her face. I admit, the deep scarring adds an interesting element, but doesn't fit with the rest of the image. I'd thought you were white-eyed, but no, your eyes are closed. Are you sleeping? Orgasming? The dramatic lighting adds another confusing component.
How does Azda feel? I don't know. What kind of person is she? I don't know. I'm aesthetically interested but emotionally perplexed.

Well done. Provocative and instantly recognizable, although my mind instantly jumps to a strapless dress rather than the nude. The over-the-shoulder gaze is distracting, I feel like it should be ahead, looking flirtatiously from under your tilted head. Right now it looks like you got distracted in the middle of a happy thought.

Everything about this makes your face look very long. Maybe that's what you're going for? Anyways, that's the first thing I noticed, and sets you apart, in my mind, from every other "hooded Amarr mystery person".
However, it also makes me think of you more as a slightly whimsical eccentric who takes himself far more serious than he ought, instead of a mysterious/dark/brooding Amarr loyalist. Again, don't know if you're going for that. When I zoom in, i get to see your grim facial expression, and you become Yet Another Grumpy Hooded Guy. It has character when small.
I like it's originality, even if I'm not totally sure it's saying what you want it to say. 7/10, but +1 for the well-chosen background.

Bleached, gravity-defying hair, impossibly slim neck, boobs the size of the Kaalakiotas, hipster glasses, tattoos that don't mean anything. Here we see the Gallente (or Gallente wannabe) female in her natural state. Pose doesn't have a lot of character, but you've definitely got a strong, and somehow appealing, aesthetic going. 8.5/10

Pure sex. The background leaves a bit to be desired, and the lighting is good for showing off your body, but not very interesting. I've seen it done better, I guess is my point.

I find that the your plain shirt doesn't belong with the texture of the rest of the avatar. Your hair, skin, background, face and chest are all textured and interesting. The flat shirt throws me off so badly that I just can't enjoy the rest of it.

A different aesthetic, for sure, and one that I think works well. SOE's facial augmentations have surely made this thread a more interesting place. However, that background is awful. Get something that's light and complements and brings out the colors on the rest of you. Additionally, I'd lose or enhance the tattoo. It's a distracting afterthought. If you're going to do anything, do it boldly.
6/10 right now, but could be much better.

I love the idea. I really do. Sadly, it's just far too colorless and ashen to make it tasteful to the eye. Something about that light on that skin, also... you look like you're made of chocolate-scented candle.
Do try playing around with different angles and lights. This could be really nice.

Wow. Very striking. Very orange. I'm... not really sure what to make of your expression? It looks like you're telling off an annoying child? I mean, it's interesting, but...
The best of these types of expressions, you look closer and realize there's actually a lot of character involved. Yours is just, well, confusing, and as dynamic as somebody trying to quietly push out a big poop. 5/10, I guess.

Interesting... bizarre angle, not that I mind it. Frankly, I feel like the framing could be worked on--there's a lot of background there, and the lighting is painfully harsh. Little detail on the face. Not bad though.

Some may call the pose lifeless, but it's not. I get what you're going for.
But your lighting... oh, your lighting. It makes your image look dead. The first things that 'stand out' (nothing really does because of the blue-grey pallor you're cast in) are the lack of contrast in the armor and the dark, oddly-shaped shadows obscuring your eyes. But really, it's the color that kills your portrait. Your skin is bleached out and toneless, and the background doesn't contribute towards a unified whole. I don't think I've ever seen an photo so grey. Even Morrigan and Griffin aren't that grey, and they're going for drab and lifeless!
4/10
The sad thing is, your framing/style/pose all work quite well! You just need to tweak your light to take a far, far better shot of yourself. Have you considered getting a different photographer?
Anyways, 1) find a different color of light, pair it with a better background. The dark blue in the distance just doesn't fit. Maybe a station interior or something more... tactile? 2) consider changing the lighting's angle to make the shading more vivid.
That's all; I look forward to rating you again much higher~

Wow. This a very good one. Like, very good. The combination of scars, implants, and tattooing produces the effect of blood smeared on your cheek, but I feel that's not an accident. Only two complaints here: it's just a little bit *too* dark, and I feel as though there's just too much background for that much character. Basically, I just want to be able to see more of you.
9/10, although I suspect that if you centered the image a little bit and maybe shifted the lighting (perhaps moved the camera to a lower position? I feel that looking down on you spoils the menacing effect, I don't know), it'd be an handy 10/10.
Great work.

Wow. I really like this. Sadly, the expression leaves a bit to be desired. You look quite dull, try introducing some character into your face! Staring straight ahead with a half-smile towards an off-frame point is very unengaging.
Otherwise, colors+framing+lighting on point. I'd suggest a *bit* closer framing, but dat armour tho. I really love your facial detail. Gorgeous.

Your avatar's always been a tough one for me. The face is an instant classic, with rich texture and shadow enhanced by the tattooing. The red's a nice touch, too. Expression... well, you goddamn nailed it. Those eyes are stunning.
However, the dreads just kill this. In the thumbnail, the weird off-white makes everything confusing, and blown up, the bizarre pillow-like texture they have ruins the depth of your face.
The lighting doesn't help the hair--while the strong key lighting works wonderfully in enhancing your face, it just makes your hair even duller and more boring. Additionally, your choice of background is dismal. The dark colors don't help the hair feel unified, and the blue/green colors make no sense against the rich tones of the skin and the red jacket. It's just a really bad background anyways, and it's the final nail in the coffin for this avatar. First impression is one of something just randomly thrown together, and it's only upon closer inspection that the care in the the character is evident.
2/10--it's not fun to look at. Your face is an easy 9/10, but I can't see that in the thumbnail because of the loose framing, and the rest of the train wreck of composition draws my eye away from it when blown up.
My advice? Just... lose the dreads. Go bald and wait for CCP to release a better model. Change your background to one that works. Tighten up your framing once your hair's gone. It'll be really good-looking, but you will lose the "wild mystic dude" feel. If you have to go for that, redye your hair to something that's not the color of dirty socks and maybe works better with your lighting.

I never did like this avatar. I get that you really want to show your abs and therefore you've got to be zoomed out, but frankly, the framing sucks, the lighting's lazy, and the expression and figure is... mediocre.
Like seriously, find some interesting clothes/hair colors you like and make the most of your belly. I bet you could get it up to a 8/10 with just a bit of work.
Anyways, it's not the *worst*, and the Caldari background is a huge plus for me.

I've never been a huge fan of that tat, just because it makes the eyes so hard to see. And, zoomed in, I see what you're trying to do with the bangs, but that's completely invisible at range. The Sansha jacket's a nice one, but all that too-dark-to-distinguish chest does nothing for the portrait. I like the choice of background--it provides great contrast esp. with the white rim of the jacket. Shame about the spikes, I can't see them at all.
A lot of potential, esp. with that pose--it's cool, I think. 7/10
What kills it is the framing. Zoom in a lot. Zoom in until I can see that peering eye and your neck looks normal and your dark-on-dark jacket doesn't eat up over half of the shot. Zoom in so I can see all that great face detail and the piercings. Look at Shahira for a lesson in good framing and lighting.
(oh, yes, I like your lighting. Makes you look quite uncanny and blue/green, although all that blush kind of cancels it out--tone down that makeup imo)
EDIT: @ Taishoku: I love the way you framed yourself with that background. Nice work.

Framing's not perfect, but mostly I think you need to find a different angle for your head. Maybe a different expression, too. You look mildly congested.

There's few avatars that make me stop and double-take. Yours is one of the few. Framing's perfect. Colors are great. Lighting's perfect. That angle works beyond belief--I don't know if I've ever seen that before, nice work.
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/

I see what you're trying to do and I like the idea, but imo it doesn't work. You're too close, and your collar leads the eye to the corner of the frame. I look at your blind eye, then down your tattoo at your mouth, and then your collar leads my gaze out of the frame. Nothing catches the eye and holds it because of the way you're positioned. I'd recommend a slight zoom out, putting your face more in the center of the frame, and turning so the diagonal of the collar is subdued.
Otherwise, excellent details, great colors, good lighting, nice characterization, etc etc. It's really nice but hard to look at. Also, you've got some bizarre clipping coming out of your right cheek.
7/10, needs work

Finally, an avatar for Lord Odysseus that lives up to all he could be. Background finally works, the face and hair is beautiful as ever. The blue lighting is not only necessary to keep it from being chromatically bland, it works very well with the background and the type of arms he's sporting.
The pose+angle are fantastic. Horribly over-the-top but they are just what you need. The frame is well-filled (could be tighter up top; you don't need that much head clearance), although I think that you devote a bit too much space to your comparatively lame wifebeater and not enough to give your face its desert. Also, I miss your crossed arms. I'd cross the arms and zoom in a bit, probably close enough that just from just above the waist. Also, something about it being just slightly off-center bugs me when I look at it and keep it from being 9/10.
8/10, but I think if you changed up the framing it'd be a legendary 10/10.
EDIT: @Fal: chin tattoos are hot. Ignore the haters.

Holy crap, this is something else. Your body and detail does what it sets out to do very well. Harsh lighting works wonderfully, except with the background. It's too dark and, while contrast against the background will be essential for your avatar to work, it's simply too much. Find something either a) lighter or b) looks like there's a stronger light against it.
I like it. Unique, although I'm somewhat surprised I haven't seen anybody else doing the same thing yet.

Huh. Not sure where to start with this one. There's... a lot going on, and I'm not sure it's all good.
First of all, the framing. The (very very poor) framing means it's difficult to get a feel for your character, even in the blown-up view. Bring that in closer, far closer, and use an angle that isn't from a meter up. If you want to show off your shirt, there's ways to do that without that wreck of an angle.
Color composition is lacking. Again, I get your desire to show off that shirt (hey, I forgot to get mine), but at least make an effort to pair your skin, arms, and hair together. That background doesn't help. I've used it and I've seen it used very well, but as a way to add dynamic color to an otherwise monochromatic portrait. It doesn't work in your already busy one.
I'd like to make comments on your body position, expresstion, etc, but honestly, the framing's bad enough that I don't feel I should try to pass judgement.
2/10, definitely one of the worse ones on here. Could become something nice, I'm not sure. Try taking inspiration from the more highly-rated avatars here and try again. I'll be here to give advice, though! Don't think I'm being harsh for no reason :)

Not great, but hardly shabby. Framing must be worked on. I don't know why your face is in that lower quadrant only. Angle's quite interesting, however, do keep that.
Lighting isn't terrible, but it is very dark. That highlight is excellent and the blue is a nice taste, but overall, it's far too dark. If you had lighter accessories, clothing, or background, I think you could pull it off, but this won't cut it. Really poor detail, although the macro of the character's quite expressive and well-put-together.
5/10, I'd say. Rather crappy right now because of the abyssal framing and poor light, but I can see a ton of potential. Please work on it; it could be quite good.
Seriously though, just move that camera. It's like a bad cropping job.
E: forgot to mention, that yellow stripe is fantastic. It'll come out even better with more light and when it's framed so we can see more.

Wow. This might be my new favorite avatar of all time. Immaculately understated. Composed like a classic portrait. Colors, expression, lighting, everything. Character design is realistic and so, so rich. Nothing is wrong and everything is perfect.
Easiest 10/10 I've ever given. I cannot rave over this enough. Every other 10/10 I've given looks weak compared to your avatar. The bar has been raised, kids. Holy ****.
And Jade, you new look is as smoldering and as timeless as ever. I love your new hair, and your character was born to have those facial augmentations.

Design's good. Expression's better than most; and while I personally think you're showing far too much torso for the interest your face holds, you've got a good grasp of proper framing and the background trick is pulled off better than most.
But the lighting. Oh, Maker, the lighting. You make that perfectly good skin look like plastic. Or wax. Or both. And that gorgeous armor? No depth to it at all. Besides, the grey on grey is already questionable, and the utter lack of color or contrast makes it even worse. Even the saturation in what could be healthy skin color is gone. Your avatar is so uncomfortable to look at right now.
Try different lights. Try different angles. Anything's got to be better.
7/10, better grasp of the mechanics than most, but painfully executed.
EDIT: bumped it from 6 to 7 upon review because of the glow on the back cheek. That's not bad. I would try toning down the gloss of the lips? It gives it a shine that could work well normally, but the whole effect is to make the lighting look much worse at first impression than, perhaps, it appears upon closer review.
