As a truly ambitious citizen of the Khanid Kingdom, I demand that my glorious leader King Khanid II should have a plastic surgery. I hadn't seen his face until today, and needless to say I was chocked.
I care for my sovereign idol, so please revisit his portrait: http://wiki.eveonline.com/wikiEN/images/thumb/a/ad/Khanid_II.jpg/256px-Khanid_II.jpg
Any other important figures in the universe that needs a new look? I'd love to see them. |

Sure, Sure... I have made the pic on the old Charcter creator..... on Singularity.... I think it was even the first version of the CC (see upload 3 January 2011).... I have just choose stuff which hadnt WIP write on it.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/wikiEN/images/a/ad/Khanid_II.jpg
thats why Dakos has the justin biber hair, which Amarr doesnt have (on the first build were all options open):
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Template:NPCCharacter
P.S. I have also try that he looks a little different.... becasue all amarr look already to close (like me.... I look like a relative). Maybe I upload a new one when the new mix CC comes out.... (but I wil try that he looks still close to the pic).
P.S.S. By the way I demand beer and that someone looks on the talk page  :

Edit: Never forget the Kingdom isnt Ardishapur 1.2 or Amarr 1.0 *Publius waves to another citizen* |

Lol! His majesty does look a little yourthful for his age. Still, I like what Publius did with the portrait, considering the limited resources he had at his disposal. I think he has a regal look over him. Unfortunately the character creator doesn't really give a lot of options (I loved the old character creator for all the extra costume pieces, etc) I'll grant some artistic freedom considering that Amarrians have some of the best cybernetics and genetics tech according to the lore. The King is at least over a century old if I remember the timeline correctly [:p Until CCP comes around to making him a portrait I would consider it a fun project to make a temporary portrait, if Publius is OK with that. I'd probably use other tools than the character creator though. |

Sure rock it :P
I think we both + Silias had already thios discussion in on topic... with him on a throne or something like this 
So Im of course happy to see any suggestion.... about.... youthful... I think this was because of a discussion with some other Lore junkie (wasnt a RLer)... ehm maybe I remember later his name.....but long story short... his point was... If I (Publius) like to change him... that he doesnt look like every Amarr, maybe make him a little younger looking.... and on this point we had already the infos that the Kingdom used more cypernatic implants etc.... like you already said.... so I thought: Why shouldnt I go for it. In the new wiki is even: "Some say that he has abandoned the concept of Sacred Flesh and has had himself cloned. " on the Family page. So he is after all the youngest looking over 300 year old guy I know . Actually after Heiderians death.... maybe one of the oldest pople around EVE (not counting Jove or Kuvakei) |

On another topic... Im testing and playing around on the wiki.... but I have found a "new" werid problem-¦... somehow the uploaded pic for the King page arent in the right color? I mean on chrome and of course the ingame browser they are fine like the pics on the Heir (the privy pic) or Emperor page.... but on firefox they are darker somehow....
Now! My question is, has it someone else to?.... So I can say, that it is my side (that I have change the firefox-browser settings) or one the wiki side?
I personaly think it is most likely the new wiki... because on the on the Emperor page was the seal an old upload, done on the old wiki. Now does with problems are uploads in the new wiki.... like the heir seal: Heir (five Heirs, five Familys)
Any help welcome. |

I tried my best, this is the best I could do: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc157/Jurjenjans83/Khanid-II.jpg
It's a bit meh... but better than what the wiki had, I think. So if anyone else with more skill at drawing would like to make an effort, feel free to replace mine.
The king didn't look very kingly without some sort crown. The one he has now is as sci-fi looking as I could make it. I'm not sure if making his eyes faded was the best way to go about it in hindsight... the idea was to make him look ancient and intimidating. Not sure if that was a success...
I tried giving the crown a darker color (black or dark metallic) but that made it look rediculous  |

First tanks for the work, I know you are busy right now.
Ehm... About the King.....I liked your first version better it was less milky or let say blurry... Ehm maybe I will try something from your first version (with the "violet cyperstring-thing"). But of course first after our story..... ....
About my idea with the mix CC, I will most likely dont do it. I dont want any birther stuff around our King . haven said that.... I most likely need your help when Im in a dead end, whit your first version. |

yes, you are right. I tried the blurry thing to obscure some of the background. I don't want the people to distract too much. But you are right. I put the first version back :) |

About the crown.... I was thinking maybe more in the direction of ozymandias...(movie or comic, what oyu like more).... something like a band.... and just a band... and add on the band some dutch rokoko symbols. |

I was thinking... maybe If we could go away from the tradinional letterbox with a medium shot (head and upperbody). It is just to much work.....
How about going in a close-up front view..... Thats why I have a question: Do you have a higher res version from Khanid3, I have currently 378 x 365 pixels.....
An example: Ozymandias again . I would go even depper in, like 90 % face, or cuting the left and right side. In that way the backround can be milkey.... It would actually fit than very well.
Tell me what you think? by the way all your stories are up now . |
