Woop - New character...

[Sam.]

cool. not sure about the freckles. makes her look too young ya know? but othre than that great!

[Rincewind]

Hey, nice edit, plastic! I really like the look of it - Sort of makes her look like Grace in GK, in my opinion... Which is a good thing, of course!
And as Zooty says, I think she's a bit too freckly for the character, but otherwise it's great.

Agree, excellent edit Plastic.

Also agree about the agething so I matured/debitched her a bit:



What I did, all in a go: Lowered her eyebrows to make her less bitchy, removed freckles, reduced size of her eyes to mature her, broadened her mouth for maturity and attitude, more distinct jaw for mature look, added shade to give higher cheekbones for maturity, ugly hairgloss for effect.

Edit: Also darkened certain hairareas to give depth.

Again, very nice edit loom.  She looks even more like my sister now.

Is your sister hot?  8)

  I think the best change was the one made by LOOMINOUS.... The character looks cool for a game and it's attractive....I guess that's the one you should choose...

 ...and Hollister....I wanna meet your sister

[Rincewind]

Hehe - Guys, you're just continueing to do these awesome changes to my sprite...
I feel inferior right now...
Now, not to sound ungrateful or anything, but I'm actually quite pleased with it as it is (Maybe I'll do a bit of tweaking here and there) - So I don't think I'll be using any of your edits - But they are still kickass! Great job! I really appreciate all of you help!
I'm going to start making some more characters soon, so I'll use my newly found knowledge when doing them... Hehe...

This thread almost feels as if it belongs in a tutorial.  It really demonstrates how subtle tweaks to a characters face affect how the personality of a character is perceived.  

Rincewind's original image looked terrific but it really did not convey the personality of the character that he wanted to achieve.  This version looked meek and a bit homely.

DM's edit was very stylized but maintained the same feel for me.

Loominous's first edit totally revamped her personality, IMHO.  Sudddenly she looked very girl-next-door-ish.  I thought it was excellent but was a bit disappointed because I thought the meeker character had more interesting possibilities.  However, Rincewind wasn't really going for a meek character so Loominous's changes were appropriate.

Rincewind's next version (which I assume is the final version) nicely incorporates Loom's changes while retaining a certain specificity to her.

Plastic's edit takes 10 years off her appearance.  It's a great looking character but it feels like another character altogether.  One I would not suspect was old enough to work as a waitress.

Loom's next edit is...hot.  But she also looks more high maintenance that his first edit.  I think his first version was more approachable.

All in all I'd say every edit has been great at evoking a unique response.
