How long do we have to be subjected to this ugly rooster girl howling at the moon?
She looks like she got in a fight with her hair stylist for not paying…and lost.
At least let us pay to replace it with something else or at the very least…put the scope guy back on there. At least he didnt look like a rooster.
A miner update? 
Jesus. you made my day. Many thanks.
You are free to suggest your own artistic ideas…or to simply shut up if not…
In any case this repeated complaining by people that seem to know exactly how it is done right without being able to do it themselves is the REALLY ugly part here…
Critics…
Eve has graphics?

Some say beauty is skin deep, however in many cultures, beauty reflects social values. In cultures where labor was physically demanding and food was scarce, fuller bodies were sometimes admired because they signaled wealth and stability. In other places, thinness became ideal when it was associated with discipline, modernity, or access to leisure and fashion. Skin tone can also be tied to class and history: in some regions, lighter skin was valued because it implied freedom from outdoor labor; elsewhere, tanned skin later became desirable because it suggested travel, recreation, and wealth. Hair, facial features, and body shape are similarly interpreted through local traditions rather than any universal standard.
In an alien dystopia, beauty would probably stop being about pleasure and start being about control. The ruling system might define beauty as something rare, regulated, and useful to power. Maybe certain body shapes, skin patterns, bioluminescent traits, or vocal frequencies are prized because they signal rank, purity, or genetic privilege. Beauty would no longer be personal expression; it would be a badge of compliance. People who fit the ideal would be displayed, admired, and exploited, while everyone else would be edited, hidden, or corrected.
At the same time, dystopian beauty would likely be artificial. Synthetic skin, engineered symmetry, implanted glow, or programmed gestures could replace natural variation. The society might treat imperfections as threats: scars, asymmetry, aging, or emotional expression could be seen as ugly because they remind people of individuality and mortality. So “beautiful” aliens might look flawless in a way that feels unsettling—too smooth, too coordinated, too designed.
So beauty in an alien dystopia is not just appearance. It’s a tool for sorting people, a sign of obedience, and sometimes the last place where freedom survives.
Oh by the way, I didn’t care for the login screen either.
Have fun!
That’s a lot of horseshit.
That’s a really hostile view on beauty. Makes me wonder what your life experience with it is, to arrive at such a viewpoint.
I like my splash screen better (I think it probably more accurately reflects the average gamer or EVE player).
What is a ‘splash screen’?
The screen ( the picture ) that you see when you first log into a game.
I think they should use me instead. They should give everyone a free flower skin for their ships as well.
Feeling a bit salty today are we? I just love how people always truncate what they don’t want others to read. The full statement was “however in many cultures, beauty reflects social values.” which is a truth, you agree or disagree with society, but not the statement I presented.
Please don’t cherry pick phrases to make me into an evil person. Thank you.
Because that is a dystopian view. Did you not comprehend meaning?
Have fun!
Who…?
I have to be ‘salty’ to disagree with what you said? Doesn’t matter what kind of a quantity modifier you add to the end of the sentence, it is horseshit to claim beauty arises from some social perception. I disagree with that statement, not some cultural whatever. Beauty is inherent to the individual, not to the external world.
That is your interpretation of it. Not an actual dystopian expression. Not saying the two can’t coincide, but in this particular instance it’s you who came up with it. And it takes some hostility to beauty to come up with a description like that.
You see @AzothPrime has a photo that a “primitive society” would find beautiful because it shows the qualities needed to survive. You can disagree with me or society, you cannot avoid facts.
You should take some time to read what is stated, and then present your position in kind, not just blurt out a short foray of vulgarities. From my position, it sounds like you got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Have fun!
The artwork is actually really good, and it’s spring loaded with feelings and symbolism. I think you just don’t like the Mohawk on her because of some political opinion, because the LADY in the artwork looks completely fine. Honest to god, completely fine. And that’s not even the point of the artwork.
The lady you see is actually a very interesting choice, because her short hair and the combat suit she wears give the impression that she is a seasoned fighter, likely a pirate, having experienced all of the good and bad things that this universe can throw at you. She probably has seen it all. And if we imagine the kind of life she has, it’s probably very removed from natural life. We could imagine her living entirely on ships and stations, undergoing rigorous drills, taking combat drugs and regularly engaging in violence.
But despite all this, in the artwork, a moment of time is captured, where you can see this lady completely at peace, opening up and connecting with the universe itself. Everything else disappears. That’s why we see her here. She could be anyone. But in this snapshot, she is one with the entire universe. It is meant to symbolize that in each of us, there is a divine thread that connects us to the universe, that this call for freedom and agency over our destiny is the essence of who we are. It is also symbolizing, that no matter what physical reality is imposed upon us, this connection will always remain.
And THAT is INSPIRING and MOTIVATING, and you should feel AWE that YOU TOO can experience this universe with infinite possibilities, with EVERYONE ELSE! \o/
Hopefully you will find greater appreciation for what the artist wanted to convey to us. I personally really like it.
With hopeful regards
