EVE Online: New Character Portraits

A new EVE Online developer blog has cropped up on the official site. The post details the enhancements coming to character portraits as the Incursion expansion goes live. Once the character portrait generator is released, players will have the opportunity to recreate their avatar. Check out the differences!
Going this route also allows us to render all the portraits in high resolution using extremely high quality textures, something that normal desktop computers do not handle well. As we expect very high number of characters to be created in the initial days after launch, we might decide to use lower quality textures for the portraits while getting over the initial tsunami of characters, but then redo them in higher quality in the days thereafter. This also means that when creating a new character on a low end machine it will appear to others as rendered with high quality textures, and might therefore look a bit different than when initially created.

Sure, when all you have of your character is a portrait you might as well make it look good.
In this particular example, I like the old Amarr better.
She looks more regal and dangerous on the left and on the right she looks like a recovering meth addict.

I am sick and tired of everyone bagging on the meth community.
We are people too!!
You don't just design the portrait in the new creator, you create the entire character in 3D. This is to prepare for walking in stations.
note "work in progress". it's not done yet.

Though, I do agree with Hokie and also agree that it's still in works--so I hope that improves.
