Dem lips.

Has a very pouty/playful look about her.  Pale everything (eyes, hair, skin) combine with black tatt and clothes gives a monochromatic feel.  Bit of a rebel?


This is the first and only one  have of Galen.  I was never able to quite recreate the obvious soldier feel of the old portrait (wish I had it saved), so I just did what I could and never revisited it.

You're welcome. (Clarification: No, I haven't been stalking you all these years. CCP archived all the old portraits. There are services like http://evefaces.com/ which help on searching the archive.)

So I finally changed Gwen's portrait (after 6 months or so of the same one) and I was wondering if you guys could offer a bit of feedback on the result? It's mostly the same, but I changed the pose to one that hopefully doesn't totally screw up the hair, and tried to give it a bit more "life" by making her face the camera and giving her a very slightly bigger smile. I wanted to retain the portraitesque quality, however.

I like that one too. Definitely more life yeah. It shows the cute side better too.

However I am not sure that the pose - meaning here, the shoulders pose - is the best one. That shoulder pose is plain weird I think.


NB : what ? Gwen haz piercings !

I like the pose because it looks pretty rigid and uncomfortable, which sort of suits the character, but I'll admit it's not ideal. The problem is, it's the only one that doesn't a) Make it look like she's relaxing or standing assertively, which would be very out of place, or b) Make her long hair stick out in some bizzare angle like the old portrait in a manner that just looks silly. So I'm a bit stumped.

Also, the piercing has always been there! There's a backstory reason for it existing, even.

sup, boy. Also, I love how awkward Gwen looks so I think you've definitely got what you're going for, there.

Nice look. It's pretty uncommon for characters to look good in aviators, but you've pulled it off.

Here's my new alt, Hadi:

Take note that there is a Minmatar Republic symbol on the wall behind him.

Trophy shot. The painters hadn't arrived to cover it up yet.

I wish I had more free time to play on my alts, I still really like Ereka:



Definitely Civire, but taken with Gallentean culture and history, generally appalled with the behavior of the State.  I suspect she'd be a good example of those Caldari that remained with the Fed after the Caldari-Gallente War.

And still with quite a bit of Caldari culture - the tattoo is pure Caldari, for instance.
