Okay, got both Helen and Peggy here commenting on their respective characters.
Peggy says about the Shadowwalker pic: "Something doesn't look right -- I'm not sure what it is, the head still doesn't look right, the feet don't look right" (she said they look a bit too big). She thinks that the body looks a bit longer and lankier than she should be (she should be more full figured), but acknowledges that this may just be an effect of the pose. "Have him get me an image without the costume so I can see and approve it, and then he can put the costume on it." One thing we both noticed for the first time tonight are the gloves -- they should match the boots -- see http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/images/sw-duty.jpg]this image. Is that possible with the resources you have? Oh, and the ears are too prominent through the cowl. Is that fixable?
Helen says about the Hexe pic: "She's too 'pretty-girl' -- the first thing about Hexe you notice is not that she's a beautiful woman, but her personality. She's got a forceful personality. She's commanding, she's forceful, she's intelligent. She doesn't suffer fools lightly. She's got a big personality and you see that first." I don't think I've said this in anything written for DW yet, but Hexe's V&V weakness is Reduced Charisma -- it's not a lack of beauty, but rather a brusque and sometimes abrasive personality. This should come across somehow. The image as rendered right now somehow (at least in Peggy's opinion) makes her look like a pixie. This is a 5'9", 155 lb. woman who can intimidate Sylia Stingray, after all. Helen has concerns about the costume -- too much cleavage, for one -- and wants me to quote the description from DW2 chapter 12:
Peggy says about both: "The faces of the Warrior women should reflect that we mean business."

Quote:The one on the left was lean and hard-muscled, with a short but feminine crop of auburn hair, windblown and gently waving, surmounting her black-clad form. She wore a bodysuit of some soft-looking fabric, with a high neck and cutouts that left her shoulders and most of her midriff bare save for a golden metal ring that linked top and bottom together. Low-heeled, knee-high boots and a bolero jacket, both of shining black leather and trimmed with small metallic lightning bolt accents, completed her ensemble.She notes that as Dave Menard's http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/images/dm-hexe2.jpg]pics in the DW gallery have the right feel, costume-design-wise, and that http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/images/hexe.gif]Kiyos's drawing is what she thinks of when it comes to the usual expression she has. (She says it's closest to the ideal representation of Hexe she has at the moment, but is willing to see if you come up with the quintessential Hexe. Let add that whatever you come up with it ought to have a kind of arrogance to it. Helen wouldn't say that, but I do. ) "I deserve it, I'm a deity, dammit!"
