Some of my thoughts on the people's pics. Note, I am sticking to the people I know; it is hard to judge a portrait without knowing "the person", at least a little, and while I may NOT like some avatars, if i dont know the character, I cannot say "Yep, fits" or "no, dosent". My 1-10 ratings are pretty arbitrary; they are how much I like THAT INDIVIDUAL PORTRAIT, having nothing to do with what i think of the character or their appearance overall, ok?
Saede: Has a definate "I hang out in alleys near ATMs and smoke cigarettes" vibe. The dark skin and hair works well with the subdued light. 9/10 just because i dont like dark skinned sebbies, heh.
Des: She does creepy, and does it pretty well. The eye makeup in the 1st page pic strikes me as odd, though. Dosent seemto belong? 9.5/10
Graelyn: The salty, crotchety Amarr with a firm, focused expression that ISNT A SCOWL. Kudos for this, one of the best pics in-game. 10/10
Vaun looks young, naieve, and has just the slightest hint of a smirk of superiority. Perfect. 10/10
N'maro is awesome; has a rare look of smugness and superiority that entirely too few Minmatar characters can pull off. Ace. 10/10
Kala: Kala has the blend of disarray, a realistic expression, unusual hair and outfit, and in short, looks very, very individual. I love her kind of faraway look in the profile pic. 10/10.
Silas: Arrogant and smug... and almost too much so, Just like the character herself! Silas' pic fits her, though Ive always wondered about the eyes? Anyway, great pic, 9/10
Istvaan: Dude. 10/10. Seriously. He looks like a psycho... and by this I mean the calculating, not-an-idiot, uses people like postage stamps, psycho. Fitting and very, very unusual. The shaved head works for him, and makes him look even more like "Just an everyday businessman..."
Kentt: Looks like a bad guy in a kung-fu movie, which works. I'd expect to see him trying to cut up Jackie Chan with a switchblade. 10/10, that smirk brings it home.
Lyn: I LOVE her eyes, and her expression, facial structure, and long hair, though I thought short-haired lynn was cute. She looks Matari, yet quite a lot like i picture nefantar. 10/10
Ael: This pic is a good one. I like her outfit, a combo of business and biker, and I like the short hair and serious expression. 9/10
Norrin: He looks like a jock I went to school with, right down to the sunglasses, perfect hair, and smirk. Well done, well done! I even like the jacket. 9/10
Yuni: Reminds me of whats her name from the 5th element. Cool pic, the eyes work very, very well for her. once again, though, why the eye makeup? 8/10
Gottii: THAT PIC. He's scowling, he's down, and he has dreads. Sideways and head down is a pretty unique pose, and I love how i can just make out his eyes in the shadow. 10/10
Ruby: I dont know any of these toons, but wanted to comment; She is so awesome, other than one thing... lip color. Bright pink is just jarring, other than that, I really, really like this pic. A ni-kunni who looks happy and open! 8/10 for Ruby (would be 10/10 from me, but, lip color..!)
John: Looks like an older, slightly frazzled, slightly troubled man, yet with some mischief in his expression. I really like this pic, but the light seems off? 8/10
Red: RED! One of my favorite characters and avatars. Captures "hedonistic gallenteness" without even trying. 10/10, simply for being unusual, pretty, and not duckfaced, but fun and mischeivious.
Leopold: My favorite bad guy from a movie about organized crime in Chinatown. His hair and expression are great. 9/10
Laerise: I loved the old pic much, much more. This one, she looks sort of like a vengeful stepchild, peering around the corner into mom and dad's room while they sleep... is that what you were going for? 6/10
Kat: Kat has the simultaneously most "standard Caldari" yet most immediately recognizable look of any female caldari toon I can think of. She looks very down to business, and a bit like she is planning to steal your car. The lips bring her pic to closure, almost like she is enjoying some joke only she understands. 10/10
Mitara: I love the new pic. She looks happier, yet retains this look of superiority without a look of outright bitchiness. Bonus points for ni-kunni, entirely too few of them in game, and especially in RP. 10/10
