Competition: Space Tinder Profile

Finished
Space Tinder Profile

Captain Zig Kaliska has challenged the members of the Dark Brotherhood to create and/or update their existing dating profiles on the holonet. While dating sites on the holonet usually cater to single people, even happy couples have found…uses for them or just to sometimes see what the field is like from the safety of their datapad.

Whatever the motivation, the challenge has been laid out by the captain to use “Space Tinder”.

Objective

Create a “Dating Profile” for one of your characters. It doesn’t have to be your Main or Alt, but can be a slotted NPC, or even a retired character that has a sheet on file.

Examples of a dating profile are:

Your entry must contain the following:

  • A picture of your character, whether it's a headshot, action post, group pic, or something else.
  • A short bio/description for potential suitors to read.

Option details or ideas include:

  • Age
  • Sex / Gender
  • Location
  • “Looking for”

Alternatively, you can use the template found here, and add text/a picture to it. You can use a photo editing app, or edit the template directly on ImgFlip!

How to Submit

Your entry should be in .jpg, .png, pdf, or an easily accessible filetype that can be opened without paid software. .psd’s or files that require special software will not be accepted.

Example Entry

Left image is a commission by AngiTatsu that I paid for. Right image is hand-drawn by myself and the pose is referenced.

All UI assets were recreated/designed from scratch in Photoshop based on existing Tinder. "Space Tinder" was converted to "Spinder" and made in the image of the "Tinder" logo.
