Underwear color? Is there an option for 'commando'?

I was wondering when someone would ask that, it would be you Kazzzi, wouldn't it?

They all look a bit super-serious - I couldn't find a way to give any of them nicer or happier expressions.

What's more, looking at it with me, my wife twigged on to the race-fail that is the Brutor. (You know-- the one we all notice sooner or later where they call the only African-featured race by a name derived from "brute.")

I generally agree with your points on ethnic diversity and CCP, but I'd like to note once more that the unfortunately-named Brutors were largely based on the Maori, not Africans. Sure, there's a problem there, it's just not the one most people imagine.

Ah-- yes, I'd heard that. However, the new "Brutor female" face looks distinctly African to my eye (and my wife's). And of course, it's possible (even very, very easy) to pull off race-fail in multiple ways simultaneously....

Actually to be fair, the only really guaranteed white bloodlines would be Amarr, Deteis, Sebiestor and Civire.

If you flick back to the first page, you'll see the Gallente male being swarthy, either because of a Mediterranean descent or generally to reflect the diversity of the Federation (they said they're still based off their backstories after all). Same with Intaki, considering their homeworld is 'tropical'. Ni-Kunni might go the Middle Eastern approach, and be somewhat swarthy....

So yeah. Skin tones, skin tones! They need to be added

About 15 minutes of playing with an alt I do some trades/Arpee with. Not started on Milo, because the Gallente Males seem to be locked to blonde hair, and that can't end well >.>

Boss, love you to death, I realized my mistake. BUT.

Totally thought that second one was supposed to be Milo before the lower half loaded. >>

Please don't fire me. <3

How are the esoteric options?

Things like mechanical bits or flashy lights (like what some Caldari women have, that back piece).

I hope there are Power Suits or similar variations of powered armor.

oh boy oh boy oh boy man do I Wish :X

although in one of the videos I saw, the bridge of the nose was adjusted, I couldn't get the mouse to 'grab' the mesh there. Has anyone else been able to?

Whoaaaa, nice fivehead.

Yeah, that needs fixing, this is actually the smallest I could get it. Like I wrote in the blog post, the hair inset is just way too far to the top to be natural.

Despite it's early stage, I'm craving more screens from the new creator for the bloodline entries in Iconocracy.  I stuck someone's photo on the True Amarr bloodline card and liked it so much I can't bring myself to use any other sort of visual for the other eleven.  Anybody willing to post some more Achura, Civire, Deteis, Gallente, Intaki, Sebiestor, Khanid or Ni-Kunni character headshots?  If I use your pic I'll shoot you a cool 5m ISK/ea in about two weeks (including those I've already purloined, namely from Graelyn, Ciarente, and Vincent).  :)

You could use these pictures of Kiam Arreiz. She is, however, a Deteis-Gallentean (well, ethnically Deteis, culturally Gallentean) so hence the sort of 'cutesy' look. Not sure if it would fit the "leader" archetype. A male would be more appropiate.

Only issue is that you won't be able to get many male portraits at this stage, since male chargen isn't complete (no eyebrows, only blonde etc)

Honestly, I'd wait till we're closer to release, the art assets are woefully unfinished.
