Title: Portrait Requests
Post by: Mierin Raine on 09 Oct 2010, 19:27
Hey everyone! As you can all see from the 10 page thread, there's new portraits on Sisi. However, not everyone gets a chance to get on Sisi to test them out.

I've been recreating people's portraits in Sisi as best as I can, and I decided to open up that invitation to everyone here. Of course, on the current build there's a lot of assets missing and what is available is very limited, but I still thought I'd offer so people can get a rough estimate of how they can look.

Some examples of what I've done are:

Sun'Tsu Yin (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Sun.png)
Ikarus Gaul (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Ikarus.png)
Aradon Veers (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Aradon.png)

Weee, madpropz to Ikarus Gaul portrait, that's very good.

Also nice job with Seriphyn, considering you can't change the hair colour or add eyebrows.

And ^_^ @ Anette

I'm curious to see how close to my old portrait you could get.

I've not had the time to spend on Sisi and would be interested to see how close you could get to my current portrait, though I was planning on using some other reference photos when I did it for real. >.>

Much <3 if you do find time to do it.

So I've put up 5mil ISK for slick-looking portraits of the racial archetypes for use in my icons project.  Looking in here, I think I'll probably end up depositing quite a bit of that into your account, Mierin.  These are really excellent given the current state of the creator.  Any chance I could get you to take a crack at Kenreikko Valitonen or Lilen enDama?
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Mierin Raine on 11 Oct 2010, 00:15
I have failed. No matter how I manipulate the Intaki female face, it looks terrible. As with the Sebiestor male face, the nose length is entirely too long. So much so that it makes the rest of the face seem odd. The lips, for example, seem out of place. As such, I have also remade Lilen as a Gallente, which, surprisingly, looks more Intaki than an Intaki.

Kenreikko Valitonen (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Kenreikko.png)
Lilen Endama (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Lilen.png) - Intaki Version
Lilen Endama (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Lilen2.png) - Gallente Version

I've tried to recreate Kyber on SiSi and had no real success; it'd be neat to see what someone with the ability to create more accurate portraits could come up with. :D
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Ken on 11 Oct 2010, 09:28
Thanks for the quick turnaround on the portrait requests!  I used what you came up with for Ken as the basis for my new forum avatar.  Gave him the Commander Shepherd treatment.  Oh, and eyebrows.  :D

Mathra Hiede, what is your character's name? I looked up Mathra Hiede and didn't find anyone.

Zagamesh (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Zagamesh.png)
Hitomi Kei (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Hitomi.png)
Kybernetes Moros (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Kybernetes.png) (Bald because while blond Amarrans with 80's hair is amusing, it doesn't really look that great)
Saxon Hawke (http://kos-mos.net/EVE/Saxon.png)

And Ken, I'm glad you like how Kenreikko came out. I'm still a little unhappy with how Lilen looks though, I may try to revisit her at a later point in time.

The one for Saxon is totally awesome. Ive played around a bit with it(still need to post some pics), but Id be curious to see what you could do for Ember.

New build, added some stuff, REMOVED SOMETHING I USED IN LIKE EVERY PICTURE.
Today I present two Civire with the new editor.

Ember: They do have white hair in the game, but interestingly enough, not for that hairstyle. Sorry.

I'm loving the idea of updating our licence images, by the way. I figure that after two years, a baby, a break-up, a change in career and all the rest, Mata will at least have a new hairstyle.

That is because Zag is descended from a species of space reptile that interbred with humans soon after the collapse of the Eve Gate.

New Character creator is up. Still lacking, but it's improved. Sunglasses + Cranial Implants are now available. :D
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Ken on 12 Nov 2010, 07:24
Ah, sunglasses.  For Brutor gentlemen only or can we all sport some shades now?

Also, I'm desperately seeking screens of a slick-looking Achura male, Khanid male, Ni-Kunni female, and True Amarr male avatar for the appropriate entries in Iconocracy...  Anyone willing to cook those up?  :)

Post by: Saikoyu on 12 Nov 2010, 10:30
Just an FYI.  Last I checked and heard, all of the female avatars are not showing up, period.  But they could have patched it since last night.  Males seem to work.  But I couldn't change the settings for weight and build on the one I tried (Brutor).  Sculpting was must easier though I thought. 
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Casiella on 12 Nov 2010, 10:46
Just tried after a Sisi restart. Still no female models. Musculature changes work, but not weight. Sculpting is WAY better. UI is improved overall, but very much a WIP.

I also made a Jamie Foxx look-alike, a Chow Yun-fat look-alike, and a Sideshow Bob look-alike.
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Ken on 13 Nov 2010, 04:09
Now that is looking good!  Couple more months of polish on this should really do the trick.  Random, the background in that pic makes me think of the (totally rad) laser backdrop you could get on school pictures. 

/me is hungry for more screens.
Title: Re: Portrait Requests
Post by: Saede Riordan on 13 Nov 2010, 08:26
Fiddled again, still no female avatars, but the sculpting is waaaaaaayyy better. The new menu system is loaded with bugs but is such a huge improvement over the old one that I don't mind.

Overall, this has really rekindled my excitement in the new portraits, not only that, but its restored my faith in CCP as a company. The fact that they decided to, 1, listen to their playerbase and change the menu system completely, 2, have the guts to say, we're not done, we're pushing back the release date, and 3, the fact that they've committed to not releasing a buggy product.
Its a huge step forward, IMO.

Wait until they improve the Caldari portraits, unless you want to look like Sideshow Bob.  Long neck, small head.

It's... disturbing.

My main (http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/9853/20101112033253.jpg)  Not really happy with the Khanid at this point.  It's really hard to get the right features, and hopefully the sliders will work properly soon.

Random Brutor (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2378/20101112044400.png)  Much, much love for both the Brutor and Gallente.  Easily modified, and you can achieve a large amount of variation with each.

Hair is a little glitchy on my comp, so I haven't tried the different hair styles (aside from the cranial implants).  I'm looking forward to trying out the female avatars.

They are pretty awesome.  I want the Khanid hair + implant style, that would make me so happy.  I'm crossing my fingers they have it in the final version.  Otherwise I'll have to switch to the long hair, Sephiroth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephiroth_(Final_Fantasy)) style.

I hope they fix the khanid look, I am afraid to even request on of my yet, or go on Sisi to give it a try.

The beta of the character creation is up again after a mass test? In that case, I'd need to give it a try.

Also, shamelessly borrowing from SHC, I thought the general consensus was that the long-haired style currently in the creator was Fabio instead of Sepiroth.

Hey all, I'm back (kinda). Apologies to anyone who's requested a pic since I've been gone. Last month got kinda busy, I got married in Aussieland (actually I'm still stuck here) and some other things that got kinda crazy! But I'll start working again as soon as I can. I'll start with the new requests than try going back to some of the old favorites with the new options (Like glasses) Firstly tho, here's my new pic:

Me! (http://www.kos-mos.net/EVE/EVESISI-3.jpg)

And my Achura:

Also me? (http://www.kos-mos.net/EVE/EVESISI-4.jpg)

I'm not really happy with how the Khanid looks still, and that Achura one is small because I forgot to actually make a screenshot.
