Something from the Show Your Skins thread which kind of got lost. I was looking for some critiques on it as it is kind of a first go for me. Basically covered her stomach, raised the top of her dress (she's an older woman, give her some modesty!), changed hair color, added some subtle lines on the face to give her wrinkles, darkened her skin and lips to give more of a 'weathered' appearence. Also I added a splash of color to her staff crystal and dirtied up her clothing. I was considering tattering the cape a little bit, but am unsure if that would be going a bit too far. How's it look for a first go? |

Her eyes are too young looking. |

How so? The irises? |

Yeah. The brightness is a pretty big contrast to the rest of the skin. I'd make them pale, almost metalic. |

You have no idea what I'm trying to do, do you? :) I see what you mean Slowpoke, I think it might look quite nice with perhaps a more metallic dull shade. Perhaps something silver with a bit of blue... |

Guest | I get what you are trying to do now. _________________ Hi I am......*gunshot* |

Guest | that and to show the age a little better, I suggest darkening the lines around the face a little more. Perhaps adding some wrinkles to the forehead would also get this going a little better Nice work though, does this have a purpose in a map, or is it just a first try to see what you can do? |

I tried darker lines earlier and it looked a bit too extreme, but I'll give it another go and see if I can make it slightly more subtle. She's actually intended to be a kind of Matriarch of the gnomish kingdom. Her official title is The Philomath, head of gnomish study regarding the tinkering of life itself (hence why I gave her stains from work in gardens). |

You can have young eyes in an old face. It shows that she still enjoys life. Perhaps they look a bit innocent? You could maybe raise the tunic a bit more. Looks good, suits the concept well. |

Agreed there KMK, I actually wanted her eyes to have a bit of life to them, but they do look a bit 'too' bright. When you mention raising the tunic a bit more, do you mean hiding more of the chest? Looking again at it, she does look a bit like she's 'displaying'. |

yeah, that's what i meant. |
