Actually looks like a somewhat younger version of maria enriquez from starlancer...

Odd. I always assumed Laporte was black or at the very least mixed. It's probably not uncommon for native africans to have french names given the colonialism.

Turns out a number of my assumptions were wrong.

The French also have french names.

[The E]

As do Canadians, and Americans.

And a whole lot of other people as well, thanks to globalization. And that's not a trend that's going to reverse I'm sure.

I guess it's the lighting that makes the face look a bit off. The right side of her face shows a line below her eye and the eyelids are also far more visible than on the left side.
Maybe moving the lightsource a bit higher might help, if that's possible.

Sara, that's amazing! The attention to detail's great, and about the age, well, I'd imagine it's a combination of make-up and stress.

One thing though, that flight suit's missing epaulets and rank slides. I'd imagine the prospect of being seen by a superior officer without rank slides on is worrying Laporte sick at the moment.

[Akalabeth Angel]

As do Canadians, and Americans.

Neither of which is located in Africa.

[starlord]

speaking of which: isn't that a narayana in the background instead of a solaris?

[Dilmah G]

Ah, the centrifuge thingy in the centre gives it that look, but I'm pretty sure it's a Solaris.

[starlord]

what about the triple engine layout and antennas in the rear?

[The E]

Ah, the centrifuge thingy in the centre gives it that look, but I'm pretty sure it's a Solaris.

Wrong. It's a Narayana, as seen here:

[Dilmah G]

Oh, cool.

[General Battuta]

Odd. I always assumed Laporte was black or at the very least mixed. It's probably not uncommon for native africans to have french names given the colonialism.

Turns out a number of my assumptions were wrong.

I'd always imagined her as someone of mixed Asian-African descent, actually.

Now that I look at the picture again, a few more military dress things. (yes, I do come up with these annoying pedantic lists on the internal forum as well)

- Left shoulder usually has the flag of the country sewn onto it. In this case, the Federation coat of arms?

- Left breast is cool, but right breast is usually the home of the Squadron badge.

- Right shoulder is usually home to the squadron flash, like what Laporte has hanging from her left shoulder.

Here's a nice high res picture for reference. They're RAAF pilots on Exercise Bersama Lima 2008, IIRC.

Don't let the list put you off though, that render remains truly stunning.

[Deadly in a Shadow]

Damn I think it was a Solaris. The centrifuge let it looks like that.

[Pred the Penguin]

They all look vaguely similar, which works out very well.

[Rodo]

Wow! nice screenshot.

Waiting for Steele now 

[-Sara-]

Wow! nice screenshot.

Waiting for Steele now 

Nothing too soon though. May well freeze Laporte and Simms when both are close/good enough to start on the avi heads. Simms has some nice changes also which I'll show later. The avi heads should take a lot of effort but will have very rewarding results. May just sneak a selfportrait in one of those.

[Pr011]

Got to say, that's a nice image. The character works for me, and the use of the ISS window was great too. (I know it sounds strange, but it's the white curtains that remind me of warships - which have folded curtains like that in gangway compartments to act as smoke barriers in the event of fire, though I'm sure that in the world of FS they have moved on from such things)

May I suggest in my humble way that a form of rank insignia be added? It would finish off the jumpsuit nicely.

[Dilmah G]

Yeah, while it looks good, the first thing I noticed was the lack of rank slides. Here's what sub-lieutenant ones look like.
