... whoever can re-create my face in the game, and I'm not kidding...

 

Been messing around for quite a while with the character customization and I just can't get it right... And I know some people out there are VERY skilled when it comes to that, so here's the thing: I'm offering 50$ of real cash (not in-game money here or that kind of crap) that I could send through PayPal or whatever to whoever can reproduce my face on an avatar. Just post your result here (character customization screen), and whoever I think is the closest by the time the Head Start begins will get the cash (actually some friends are watching this thread too, so I can get their opinions too).

 

And of course, to help you, here's my face below...

 

Sorry for the pics, had to dig one + take 2 real quick with a crappy cellphone and put that together in Microsoft Paint...

 

 

Give it a shot if you want, and no I'm not kiddin' for the cash: I really want my face on my avatar...

 

And a millions thanks to whoever will be able to do it, easy 50 bucks for you...

 

EDIT: I'm not shaved sorry lol, just came back from a trip out of the country

 

EDIT 2: Forgot to mention: Elyos all the way, not Asmodian...

You don't have to fully create the character, just the face in the customization menu (preview).

 

Basically just re-create the face and take a picture (including the sliders). Or if you're paranoid just take the face and send me the sliders values after I sent the money, no biggies.

Here is a starting point for free for you and whoever else wants to try. You did not specify Elyos or Asmodian, so I started with one. Sliders will be the same, only hair and coloring will change :) This is fun for me, I wish I had more time before the beta ends tonight.

I don't think I would have enough time to create a face in detail as that.

Elyos... Elyos all the way, I won't play Asmodians...

 

And yeah sorry for not posting that earlier this week but I was out of the country :S

 

Worst case scenario there's the pre-selection Friday, will be able to try during that day since the character customization menu will (probably) be available and not just the name selection...

I tried it for the fun and challenge. It was harder than I expected. Here's the closest I could get without spending hours fine tuning features.

Wow nice I knew customization was great in aion bu didn't thought anyone would want his face :P

Some really got it near apart of the hair but he wanted the face so it should be more then enough hehe.

It's not a competition lol Just a normal guy looking for some help to re-create myself in-game...

 

Regarding when it's going to end: my thought was to ''declare the winner'' (if there's one at all) when the Head Start begins during the 20th, but maybe giving it a bit more time would be a good idea for those who won't be able to login that day and after.... So there's no ''timer'' on this: whoever can post a pic that will make me (and friends too) go ''Oh shit it's me!!!'' or ''Damn it's pretty damn close, you could swear it's me!!!'' will get the cash...

 

50$ is nothing for me, especially to see myself in the game... And I know some people out there are REALLY talented to re-create people in this game (face-wise I mean), so I consider the 50$ a ''thank you'' for the work... So far the results are nice, but off... I really need that ''oh shit'' moment when I'll look at the pic...

 

EDIT: Regarding the post above me: yeah exactly, the face is the important thing. For the hair I know it's limited, just put either the ''no-hair-with-tattoos'' one or short hair, I don't mind. Just scare me by how accurate you can reproduce me in-game

I declare the winner, hands down. From the picture you gave she is the most accurate especially the eyes shape and chin part. there is a bit of work on the profile, but really not much.

Ho and ye she should punch your nose a bit on the left side, but you can ask for that ingame...
