EVE portraits - share tricks, and share yours!

It is not what you wear but how you wear it as demonstrated by super model and ganker extraordinaire Aiko Danuja.

I liked Aiko’s old portrait better, to be honest.

For one, the contrast between character (hair mostly) and background was much better. At first glance you cannot tell where her hair stops and background begins in her new portrait. It’s a flaw I also had in my own previous portrait, get some contrast!

Secondly, her old portrait is a much more comfortable natural pose, unlike the new one which feels kind of forced.

Third, I think it’s great that she managed to make her portrait an icon of high sec ganking that everyone recognises by using it as logo for alliances. It’s a shame that the original portrait at the basis of those logos is no more the same.

The background colour also used to nicely come back in her eye shadow, which was a nice cohesive effect that is now lost.

Lastly, no idea if it was intentional or not, but the low camera angle of the old portrait made miners literally look up to her.

I was a bit disappointed to see that portrait change.

You trying to scare the Frostpackers with that pose Uriel?

One of my friends said I look like the girl from The Last of Us after she went through a Hot Topic

I like the expression on her face. It’s really difficult to get “expression” on a character’s face, no matter what expression you’re going for. I see many characters that opt for the “no thought whatsoever” expression. :slight_smile: So, I appreciate yours.

Amazing how much the choice of eyewear can change the vibe!

Reminds me of this comic:


(apparently, I had that image saved in 2014 and just now remembered.)
