Thread: State of the Profession: Image Design
Definately the auto slider has to be fixed! As well as Hair color update. That particular bug is SO frustrating.
I definatley want to see new hairstyles,
Tattoos for humans, Twileks etc..
What about scars? Definately a good thing.
Aging does not work either. That needs to be fixed as well if you are aging the person the rest of the body should follow. It is bugged since it does not show up as aged.
I have had many requests from women who want more change with thier hips and not just with the waist and hips.
Longer and slimmer Lekkus,
Definatly eye shapes. Very frustrating!
Could we have some different Zabrak horn colors!! Bothans could do with some different coloring too. (although I have not had much chance to ID on bothans)
I think that is it for now!
Skips
Request for addition to Wish-List
- Trandoshan Ridge Colors: The color palette should be the same colors as the skin color palette. Also as a possible option to ridge color makethe ridge colorbe solid or fade, with the tip of the ridge being the ridge color and the base of the rifge being the skin color.
Bugs - same as everyone else has listed, my biggest peeve being the default to brown hair color
Wish-List
1. More Hair Colors - Natural and Un-natural
2. More Hair Styles - Please see Kwee's suggestions on styles. Really like the idea of more accessoried styles or ability to place a ribbon/bead etc on independantly
3. Body Tattoos
4. Battle Signs - Scars
5. More Make Up Colors - Pinks, Reds, Peaches.
6. Hip Adjustments
7. More Skin Colors
8. Ability to make and sell Temporary make up and wigs (hairstyles)

One thing that has been suggested that I, personally, disagree with is eye shape. I think that we shouldn't be able to alter that. I mean, it really doesn't make much sense. A person can always have their hair cut, go on a diet, work out a lot, eat too much, use dyes, colored contacts... there are myriad reasons behind the changes we can do now. But eye shape doesn't exactly work that way. I don't really see IDs as being plastic surgeons... And someone going from appearing asian to not or vice-versa is just a little weird to me anyhow.
If you don't see Eyeshape as working that way, then ya really need to remove many of our other options as well. Like our Rhinoplasty, and the ever-popular Torso. And forbid our Height changes
I thought Michael's face "magically changed" or something. I mean he denies the surgery and all...
Seriously though, I'm going to go ahead and re-do the State of the Professions post tomorrow, with the new input I have here. There is also LOTS of news possibly headed this way that will please many Image Designers.
"When changing hairstyle or color, it shows up as the default color to everyone else (including the designer), until the customer times completely out of the server."
Ah, I was wondering why I could never see a change when I was changing brown hair to blond hair, but the person I was IDing could see it just fine and no one else could... I hope they fix this.

I think Kwee has an excellent list for our lady Tygress to base from and append our other posts to so I will just extrapolate from it.
Colored Contacts would be a nice thing to see. It would probably be more of a tailor thing, should decay, and solve the problem of exotic eye colors not fitting in with the galaxies color scheme for humans but something to look into. If IDs could actually have more colors though that would be better.
Pupil Shape would also be better with the same applications as above. Cait Eye Pupils for example.
I think the Wookie Hair Texture looks terrible. They look like they are wearing a burlap bag. I would be happiest if the devs went back and re-examined creating the wookie fur texture before analyzing new patters/colors.
Male Hair Styles:
--------------------
Spikey Hair. I cannot count the amount of Anime Fans request this. I know it may not fit to have a guy look like Goku (Dragonball Z) on Naboo. Neither does it do to have Elvis or Gary Oldman from the 5th Element, yet apparently the Devs feels their unique hair styles originated a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. ^_^ All I am saying is look to comic books and cartoons based on the star wars universe and I think a few anime-style spiky looks will present themselves.
Unkempt Hair. Some people like their hair to look a little wild. I get a request for this and the only one I have is that swirl one that looks painted on the forehead. No one likes it and ends up going with the last style (dreads sticking up) out of resignation.
----------------------
I like the idea of a building for us. What would be neat to put into a building, or just take us to a different screen would be a place that allows us to alter lighting. How a person looks inside with light mode on is vastly different to outside on a Corellian Sunset. It would be nice to have the ability to see how lighting and different daytimes affect a face. Without waiting for time to pass or moving to a different location.
Anyhow, that is my humble addition to your grand list. I was entagled in real life work and moving so I have been away from the game for over a month. Now I am eager to return and more than happy to give feedback to my favorite profession. ^_^
Additional art I would like to see:
Twi'lek eyebrows:
- More streamlined choices: The current choices are very "fuzzy" and hairy, and practically "unibrow-ish" which makes no sense for a race without hair. We should be getting more drawn on lines - like markings
- No-eyebrow option: Twi'leks don't have hair. Male twi's don't have eyebrows. We can choose no lekku markings, why not no eyebrows?
- More colors that complement skin tones
- Male eyebrows: come on, give them eyebrows, they're funny looking.
Chest hair:
- Chest hair on human males: not everyone wants to look like the fab five came by with some hot wax. Let's get some chest hair patterns.
- Color: same as eyebrows/facial hair
Aging:
- "Graying": not just "all gray" hair but the option to gray in the beard and at the temples. Guys would love this.
Male twi'leks
- Halo effect: remove the strange lighting such that the face area doesn't match the skin on the rest of the body
- Headgear: fix art so that when they wear headgear, the top of the head doesn't turn white
Wookiee braids? Pleeeeese?? The Wookiee on the User's Manual has braids and I've wanted them since I first started playing. Also... afro? pig tails? spikes? Something to reflect the influence exploring the wider galaxy has had on my sense of self. But most of all braids. With beading or some kind of decorative fastener?
Thanks!!!! You guys rock!!!
