She's so pretty. She looks sort of sad however. I'm so glad she is coming along. I really want her in my party and her story sounds so good! She will have lots of depth it seems and that is why she is so special. Good luck on her!

If she was the color grey she could pass off as one of those grey aliens.
Looks good by the way.

One of the more unsettling portraits I've ever seen, that's for sure.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone... I'll pass your comments on to Muse

I'd agree with Sim, though it has been quite a while: the neck makes her look more like an alien out of some Ski-Fi production than a person from the FR setting. Also, between various alternative portraits represented there, I'd say the one 'edited' by Sim looks more realistic to me - if such a word can even be used. But if the main goal was to make her stand out in any party setting, then it has been accomplished, by and large.

Do you mean the old portrait or the new one? Or both? I'm confused.

Muse she's just perfect. You should be proud.

Not only are female redheads frequently lovely but theirs is a loveliness that suggests both lust and danger, pleasure and violence, and is, therefore, to the male of the species virtually irresistible. Red O red were the tresses of the original femme fatale. Tom Robbins

Actually, on this occasion I disagree with Kulyok - you have the proportions on the new pics just about perfect, Muse. Don't allow one crtitical comment to give you a complex - everyone else (myself included) thinks the new pics are "da bomb"Do you mean the old portrait or the new one? Or both? I'm confused.
.That isn't to say that criticism like is not welcomed, of the portraits or any other aspect of the mod - it is, and will continue to be if it is framed in a polite and constructive way like Kulyok's was. But the majority view will usually prevail, and in this case the overwhelming majority of people love the new pics!

Thank you for the kind words, Sir K. (and everybody else) Oh, and I don't mind criticism. I was just wondering if it was a comment on the old portrait, since Kulyok referred to the picture that Sim had edited. After all, I wasn't quite satisfied with the old picture either; that's why I started over. But I quite like the new one. Chrysta is one of a kind, after all, and because of that she can't really look like any of the "normal" races in the Forgotten Realms.

Now I finally remembered whom is Chrysta reminded me of - the Sleeping Man from NWN: HotU . On the other hand - these portaits look much more better than his 
Heck no, b - I used the word the way I use things like "twitter", and "iPod" - my first inclination is to ask "what birdcall are you studying?" and I think of "I pod, You (singular) pod, He pods, She pods, They pod, You (plural) pod, We pod..."
