    My female Altmer is a damn scary Amazon (maxed height so virtually the same as Titanborn & towers over others especially teeny tiny bosmers) with piercings, tats and a fierce stare. And decent booty. Not sure she would be condidered beautiful - more striking - but she wouldn't care.

    Love playing her.

    You are right here on my list of favourite people, then <3
    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.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    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.

    ...but I suck at creating attractive female characters.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is why I can easily spend 3+ hours creating a character and making them look "just right" to me.

    Try starting out with the generics ZoS provides. As you flip through them, one should easily catch your eye. From there, just alter features you like/dislike.

    I agree about getting a character just right but if I can't do it in 10 minutes or less then it feels forced so I'll leave it for another time when everything comes together.

    @arcadiadark, here are some recent shots of my Altmer characters ...

    As you are likely already aware, I've shared pics of my Bosmer Stamplar and Stam DK in the past ... but will try not to derail the thread with extra pics of those two.

    If you have access to the PTS and your character lives on the PC/NA server, you can get a token there for free and see the sliders.

    I'm talking about mostly a cute face, like that girl from the tg dlc

    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 :p). Then I decided she needed fancy adornments because she's a fancy Altmer after all!

    Faarawae%2Bsmall.jpg

    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!

    What's the chest piece she is wearing there?! It looks nice! And it has a necklace thingie too?

    @LMar it's a dyed variant of the 'High Elf Hero' costume as @Abeille said. It was a limited time purchase from the Crown Store to represent the Altmer in the cinematic trailers.

    I really like it on her, here's the whole outfit:

    I still don't know how to put screenshots in forums :lol: but my only advice is that the secret is in the eyebrows, don't use anything weird and with a soft face any altmer should look pretty

    First thing I do is lock the sliders that are "non-negotiable" for me (like no ornaments or tattoos at first) then hit random a bunch of times to get some ideas
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    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...

    That's the one race you would have to try to not make her attractive. They just have the supermodel look unless you junk them up.
