Two new enemies for Amy Atom. Half-Life is possibly her most powerful enemy. Madame Curie claims to be the great-great granddaughter of Marie Curie, pioneering radiologist. The suit and mask are to hide her disfigurement from radiation poisoning.

This friend is a trans-gender female and she said she was offended by the portrait. She has a very negative self image because she is a little overweight. She said she thinks the picture looks masculine and that she felt I was making fun of her. I copied from a picture of her and tried my best to match it with my level of Hero Machine skills and all I wanted to do was put a smile on my friend’s face.
If I were going to try to change it, I’d try 1) putting the guitar on a stand~ still in the picture but not dominating it. 2) change the outfit- get rid of the coat or over shirt it hides so much! and 3) I’d switch the arm to the smaller one and mask in the elbow.
I don’t know if any of that will turn out any “better” than what you have now, but best of luck if you choose to try it!Herr D, she’s a beautiful person, when she’s not feeling bummed out from all the negativity she gets from assholes. She’s also a helluva guitar player, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. She realizes that she has a negative self image and is working on it. She’s more attractive than she gives herself credit for, but she has gained weight since the pic I copied from. She’s no longer mad about the pic and realizes my effort came from the heart. Your words are greatly appreciated. @Keric: while I did take some liberties considering some parts of the pic and my HM skill level, I tried to recreate the picture as faithfully as possible. I appreciate the input, though. I don’t know if I’ll redo it, but if I do, I’ll seek her approval before posting the finished product. Happy New Year to you both! So that you can get a better idea, here is my friend in the picture I used as the model.
Y-yeah. With the mike in her face and the odd angle I can’t find any fault in your representation at all. My recent research tells me that a longer, thinner neck is considered more fem. The rest would be you not being used to depicting a real person. Humans are difficult creatures to match. All those odd curves and angles. You might practice the nuances as study for your future work anyway. I’m gonna go work on another monster now.
Herr D, not counting my 2 self portraits, I did 7 pictures for friends and aquaintances. She is the only one who didn’t like their’s. I might try another one with her present. She has made self portrait game avatars that are very accurate, so maybe including her in the process will bring a result she is happy with. As always, thanks for the input. Meanwhile, here are two new characters I did. I put them here because I don’t know yet if I want to put them in my universe. I had the idea of a pair of time displaced Civil War era vets. Here are Buffalo Soldier and Scout.
Here’s another portrait I did for a Facebook friend. I call this “Jennifer’s Forest.” She’s a big animal lover.
M. Curie, enemy of Amy Atom. A high tech terrorist who threatens the US government with nuclear destruction.
