Hahaha, yes. Took me quite a while to get that to work properly with the rest of the portrait in the chargen. I found out about it by accident and then ran with it 100%  :D What do you think?

There are a really large number of portraits here by now and many of them are great. I should get around to making a list of sorts of the best among them (my opinion ofc) but for now, I've no time. All I can say though, is DAT LAERISE. Displeased, unhappy, angry and non-liberal Imperialist disagreeing makes for epic expressions. Well done.

For my part, I'll offer the only portrait among all my toons that I'm even remotely happy with. Likely not going to re-make it as it will likely be hard to beat the most fitting expression for this toon, so far.

I do, however, miss his haircut. CCP give us back the Intaki haircuts darn it, why did you remove them... :psyccp:

@Bloodbird

For my part I'm very happy with Katla's new Un-taki hairstyle (or lack of it). I do miss the old crazypunk hair and Ni-Kunni faceveil tattoo Ruby used to have, though.

I can see why you like this picture. The expression is great and creates a lot of tension in the picture, making it appear dynamic. The background frames the character's face nicely, and the dark clothes combine with that to bring the face more into focus.

That effect is significantly diminished by the lighting, however. Half your character's face is covered in shadow, and I think that's doing it a disservice. You may have intended the lighting to evoke a...well, grimdark mood, but the background, clothes and wonderful expression all combine to do that already. The only thing the lighting (or lack of it) does is make the face more anonymous. Change that, and it will make an already good portrait better, imho.

Allrighty.

Finally happy with my new toon and the way he looks. May change his clothing, but for now that's unimportant.

Only if that man is a blonde, exceedingly effeminate version of Marilyn Manson.

He looks good, only complaint is that his facial hair and head hair are two different colours, which always strikes me as just looking off and wrong.

Now that you mention it, that is a little odd...

i chose the same colours for root and hair, so there shouldn't have been that discrepancy...
ah well.. black hair it is. i suppose that genetically that does make more sense.

UPDATE: hair colour fixed... black/black instead of dark brown/slightly lighter brown.

I suppose the part i like the best is the way the plasma burn along the right side of his face (his right, not ours) works in the lighting... that and the fact that he looks like someone just commented on slavery near him and he has locked eyes on the person responsible for the comment.

Laerise: Eyes look a lot better! Very creepy, which suits her :)
Bloodbird: I don't know this toon - Very dark portrait and expression gives a brooding type vibe, but at the same time it almost looks like he could be smiling just a tiny tiny bit.
Kat: Does not look like a man. I think it matches her new attitude, she's all serious business and I like it!
Toluijin Chagangan: I don't know this toon - Someone's had a hard life, and not very a happy about it. I do like the shirt.

Mitty has grown her hair back out now that Theobald has some control over his hands :-)
