Pictures of women

[beccaelizabeth]

It is much, much easier to find naked pictures of women, or pictures in their underwear, or pictures in boy underwear, or pictures where their clothes seem to be about to fall off, or where they do the tousle hair pouty face, or the blow up doll face, or the slightly disturbing empty doll smile, or any variety of lounging

than it is to find

serious face, professional, maybe military looking.



I google names of women, I get page after page of girl parts. Not whole women, weirdly framed weirdly posed parts.

I google names of men, usually they are wearing a suit and making Serious Business Face.

I know this from my studies, yes, but is very much brought home when I'm trying to fantasy cast a spaceship and the top result for any male name is a suitable face but for any female name is page page pages of pouty.

Also, women with short hair?
Not simples to find.

Big flowy hair and spacesuits is logically unmixy.


About the only people I can find posed Serious Professional Military suitable are people who've played that.
Usually in Stargate.
And even then, mostly their hair is long.

Warning: some links not work-safe!

Hesitant to recommend this, because the main company has some fail-issues, and the software's free but can be difficult to use. But have you considered using 3D models? They're posable, and the faces can be morphed into practically anything with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The current main base figures are free (Michael4 and Victoria4), and the morph-packs that you'd use to get thousands of people out of them are on sale (V4Morphs++ and M4Morphs++, and there are coupon codes here). If you decide to spend money there touch base with me first, there are more ways to save.

But you might get what you need just from the promo pics -- for example, the Hair category's here. And there are other companies that provide hair, character sets, and other products -- Renderosity has the best selection, I think.

For building the spaceship you might want to look at Blender3D, that's free and open-source, and you can import the DAZ figures into it (although they lose posability after that, so it's recommended that you pose them before importing).

Anyway, sorry to spam if this doesn't help, it's just that roll-your-own-virtual-humans is sometimes the best (and cheapest) solution to the problem you're having. Not sure if I've given you my dA gallery link yet, but if you click here you'll see what I've been doing with this.

Whoops, almost forgot -- Army Combat Uniform for V4 and Army Combat Uniform for M4.

If I had an idea in my head and wanted to make pictures that match it then 3D art would be a way to go. But I mostly have a list of officers that logically exist and a ship that has to be Not The Enterprise so pictures of existing humans, with previous roles and existing connotations, are the inspiration source of choice.

Links are interesting though.

And those sites will give you plenty of pictures, but not with previous roles and existing connotation. There's a forum topic making a list of actors and celebrities emulated with M4 and V4, but I'm not sure that'd be any help either.

How about Allison Janney as Press Secretary C.J. Cregg on The West Wing? Not military, but definitely serious professional, and with short(ish) hair.

[beccaelizabeth]

The character might be serious, but the expression is :-D all the time.

Try google image searchign for Allison Janney, and compare it to a page of, say, Ben Browder. Ben has :-) and :-[ and serious and silly and with guns and in his underwear and sometimes smooching Michale Shanks huh I didn't see that one before... ANYway, he has a range of images. She? Smiles.

IMDB does have serious face too. Is useful.

[anne_d]

I must be remembering episode faces, then, because she does do serious. She's got a range, everything from serious drama to exceedingly silly, and it all got used in WW at some point.

In 2001: A Space Oddessy or one of it's sequels, the female astronaut cropped her hair super short for the mission. But since it took so long, her hair grew out quite a bit.
