Hello all! I wanted to ask the community for help creating a beautiful female altmer character as I will soon be creating a female altmer but I suck at creating attractive female characters. since I'm going to be looking at my characters for great lengths of time, I am a bit picky on how they look, any suggestions on how to create a pretty female altmer? and no, maxing out certain sliders will not be ok...

✭✭✭✭✭I don't know about making them beautiful (beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but I would suggest you have about 10 different names ready. Otherwise, you'll be looking for a name, after the first few are all ready taken, and the inactivity timer will log you out, and you'll have to start all over.4 -

Maybe start off by trying to copy Quen's face and go from there? Personally I've noticed that a lot of people use very soft, rounded features for female Altmer; often with long hair that frames the face and large eyes.
I don't think this is the look you're after, but for mine I decided to go for more angular, pointed features; then pulled back her hair and gave her very defined eyebrows to make her look a little more severe (to enhance her look of disdain towards her young, foolish enemies of course
). Then I decided she needed fancy adornments because she's a fancy Altmer after all!
I think her face type triangle was between heroic and angular, so I'd put yours closer to soft. Less angry-looking eyebrows would probably help too!
Edit: I just checked and apparently she's halfway between soft and angular, so there you go!Edited by ListerJMC on September 14, 2016 7:09AMPC NA & EU || Mammoth Guilds - Victory or Valhalla || Altmer sorcerer main

You sure about that, bruh-bruh? So, if you had the option to make a Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie-looking elf, you wouldn't? I mean with me personally, if I'm going to be looking at my character for hours and months on end...? I want them to at least be attractive. I want some form of eye candy, so that I never actually get bored of them. So yes, they have to be a looker.0 -

✭Best advice I can give is to roll up what you think looks good, screen shot the settings, then skip the tutorial and check yourself out well in the bright light of the starter area... I know I had a terrible time with some of the races.
Also, I have noticed that starting from the center of the triangle on the facial appearance is a good place to tweak things from. I'd post pics but it's too much of a pita on these forums xD
Oh and @LaiTash, that facial expression is a bug since they put in the new personalities. Various emotes as well as getting on your mount will fix it

Nice. And n'ah, I like em' thick like oatmeal too. It's just that I tend to have odd preferences at times. That's all. Sometimes they fall in line with what society deems as beautiful, and other times they fall into what my opinions of beauty are. It's like flavors of food, bruh. Sometimes you want healthy and full of vegetables, and others you want spicy and full of zest. Lol.

There seems to be some sort of bug in game that regularly makes characters look angry all the time. If you go back to the character screen your characters should all have more neutral looks.0 -

In this case, large eyes and small nose. Play with lip fullness and curvature to get the slightest, pleased hint of a smile. And over all try to round the face, less pointyness. Lastly, add subjectiveness, tons and tons of subjectiveness. I hear that really helps a lot.Edited by driosketch on September 13, 2016 6:43PMMain: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

✭I'd say try avoiding the altmer brown hair. I try use brown on all my characters, b/c I have brown hair. Both of my altmers went with the brown, and I regretted it so much later. It's dull compared to the brown available to other races. =D2 -

I maxed out mine's height. She's astoundingly tall. I'm short so its fun playing an amazon.

✭✭✭✭✭It's pretty easy to make pretty elves in this game. Their eyes are just beautiful. Start with the face triangle. Put it on "soft", then move about 1/3 towards "angular". That's on the range of what most people consider "pretty", I imagine.
I prefer more angular faces, myself.I'd say try avoiding the altmer brown hair. I try use brown on all my characters, b/c I have brown hair. Both of my altmers went with the brown, and I regretted it so much later. It's dull compared to the brown available to other races. =D
Yeah, the darkest one looks like chocolate milk
It's such a shame they can't have black hair... Despite the fact that it is totally lore-accurate and was a possibility in other TES games.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.

Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -

RoyalPink06✭✭✭✭✭On the triangle slider, I make it somewhere around a "soft/angular" mix. The heroic is quite harshly featured. I also put max height (my dro m'athra senche is bigger than most peoples' horses lol)
on mine, I angled the outer corners of her eyes up a bit more, and made the eyes a few clicks bigger on the slider (just be careful they don't become cartoony). Every character I have ever made has had green eyes because I have green eyes, and lets be real here, I'm a little bit biased in that regard The eyebrows I made neat and tidy, not thin but just a normal, manicured eyebrow. Too thin looks witchy. Too archy is no good either. I picked an eyebrow that had the arch off-centred towards the outer corner, rather than the arch directly above the pupil. I made the nose narrower in the bridge (but not Michael Jackson narrow), and just a few clicks longer on the slider. Keep the nostrils smaller. I keep the chin small and in line with the front of the face (if looking at the face from the side). For the lips, I make the top and bottom as close to the same size as I can get it. I pull the outer corners up just a smidge (go too far and for some reason you start to see teeth) so that it looks like she's smiling with her eyes and not scowling. on lighter skin, I would put lighter hair. Darker skin, darker hair.
I would post a pic of her but alas, I am at work.
have fun! would love to see a pic of your results.NA PS40 -

✭✭✭✭✭What helps me when creating a new character is once I nail down the figure (the easy part) I get started on the face. It is helpful to me to use the randomizer. I start (for example) with the eyes and use the randomizer until I'm happy with the look and then lock it. Then I move on to other areas and do the same thing. Don't forget to lock each area once you are happy. Once I have finished all the facial areas I should be very close to the look I want and may only manually tweek certain areas afterwards. I hope that helps.
