Title: rpg character portraits

I've been drawing all these faces for a while now. I've been having trouble with hairlines and lips, so I'd like feedback on those, but hopefully someone will point out other stuff I can fix. :D

Hello there.

My biggest concern is that they all look related  :crazy:

This is mainly because their facial-traits are the same, the nose and the jaw. I see that you have shaped the jaw smaller of some, but I think you can shape it even more. Also the nose should be modified on some, otherwise I think you did a good job considering the small workstation, which leads to the lip question; well it wasn't as easy as I though. I think the lips look good.

Oh and another thing! You could add some facialhair to differ their looks, also maybe some life experiences? (scars, tattoos) and headgear, like a bandana or a cap. Theese are just ideas!  :hehe:

That's a half-orc you're looking at.  :- )

revisions on the top row, some on the second row. i can't match up the eyebrows on that third girl  :mean: :yell:

the whole first row are starting to look kind of asian, which isn't really what i'm trying for - i'm hoping to have them racially ambiguous, sort of the same thing as Jade from Beyond Good and Evil (see (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/02/jades_black_rac.html)).
