When you’re taking pictures of yourself, don’t use a mirror, it’ll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that’s how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There’s loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

Mount and Blade Warsails Update. It has been 12 years in my game and with no action on my behalf Sturgia has been eliminated. They got caught between the Nords who took the lands close to them and Battania who snaked up the peninsula near them. The Khurzaits have taken large chunks of the Northern and Southern Empire. The latter is reduced to a single city. Vlandia after a fruitless war lasting years has been pushed out of Aserai lands (weirdly fitting given they’re Norman inspired). I broke from Vlandia and formed my independent Kingdom on the Island of Beinland.
I fought two quick sea wars against them and the Nords. But in preparation I had replaced my ships with an Imperial Dromon called Dragon and two slightly smaller Dromakions called Serpent and Raven. All three were upgraded with firepot ballitae, the best rams, hulls, rudders, crates of finely honed boarding weapons which give us another 10% damage in melee. I’ve got them filled with Nord Huscals and Sky Gods Chosen (archers who also have shields). I recruited two captains with decent Mariner and Shipmaster skills to command them as well.
The synergy of having the best naval troops on the most complex naval ships has let us annihilate far greater navies in size. It’s really what Warsails has got going for it. In the standard game you could usually beat an army bigger than your in an open field, but eventually the enemies got too numerous, with armies of 1700 etc. At sea though they can field all their troops on ships and the ones they do are scattered. Each boarding actions is like a mini siege where you can multiple your advantage.
I’m slowly passing laws to make Beinland a radically progressive (for circa 1000CE which it is inspired from) proto-nation state, with assorted citizenship rights and privileges, organized central bureaucracy and various organs of early democracy. Our capital of Hvalvik is fulling upgraded and ruled by my character’s over qualified husband and two kids waiting until their older to have a position.
