Any more that could be used or adapted for mainline images? The one you posted doesn't look that far from a Dark adept himself.

What do other people think about the eyes of the dark adept?

What ... campaign is that from?

Liberty, biotch. Mr. Lutes hooked me up. It's a human Shadow Lord.

I think that an absence of pupils looks better, but it does add to the inhuman aspect.
I think if pupils are added, that they should not attempt to meet the Player's eyes and should look in the same direction that the dark adept is facing - this will give an aloof effect... and besides, creepy guys don't look people in the eye.

Opinions?

Getting better, but she looks a little plain.

Very nice. It reminds me of Arwen from the LotR movies, but much more evil...

*Taps chin ponderously* A little plain I agree, I wonder how I can improveÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

She's dark and lovely.

Nice job.

Thank you

I feel there is something i can do with the hair and the cloth but i'm not quite sure what that is yet.

Very nice! However, there's something bugging me about the eyes; it looks like she's facing an angle down from the viewer, but looking straight at the viewer.

A fair enough comment.

Maybe caused by a sight over shadowing on the upper eyelid?

Do you think that the error is as apparent in previous versions?

Perhaps you should give her some sort of trim around the edge of her cloak, so that her clothing is not so boring. Usually it is a good idea to give the portraits more detail than the unit sprites.

Thanks for the advice

Necklace do you think? Choker might be too goth. (Unless your into that sort of thing)

Any tips on the hair?
