How the hell do you make a good-looking female Dunmer?

Kharnamatic

To ge ready for Morrowind I tried to make a Naryu lookalike last night. I wanted this, but all I got was this! How the hell do you make a good looking female Dunmer? It's impossible, I tell you - I've made supermodel hot Bosmers, Altmers, Nords and Bretons. But Dunmers - nope, they are permanently grouchy and stern looking.

Not the world best photo but I haven't tried to take photo to show how beautiful she is. She is a little thinner than I'd like but she is also a starving vampire.

Here is she is with a costume on to hide vamp.

ZOS needs to make a brow angle slider, otherwise female Dunmer always end up with a permanent frown.

All dunmer are beautiful

imo Naryu doesn't really look like a dunmer LOL. Her facial features are way softer than typical dunmer. I've always thought dunmer have pretty cool features and never found them particularly ugly

Naryu in the game and Naryu in the trailer is like a before and after of a bad sinus infection.

you have to post it online first, then link it. I use postimg.io, then just link it under the picture edit menu ^

The Naryu in the teaser looks like a grey breton with pointy ears, not a dunmer.

ZOS has a bad habit of making all females petite and round with pug noses, regardless of their race. (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/310161/can-we-get-new-orc-models-please). Maybe they'll ruin dark elves one day too.

I personally like how harsh Dunmer look, that's why I picked them as my favorite race. Plus Naryu in that CGI trailer looks like a grey skinned human. The digital artist definitely took some liberties and humanized her a bit. Rana and Naryu in game look kinda cute for Dunmer, but the lighting in game makes player Dunmer look a bit dark and shadowed with harder lines in the face. And then when you pull up your menu you charcter swivels and you get different lighting and they look good again. This might just be the ps4 graphics being lousy as hell...but who knows.

I'm surprised people are whining about Dunmer in ESO when they looked way more beaten down and haggard in Skyrim. They already made Dunmer more attractive than they were before. Make them look any more human and they stop being Dunmer, more like half breeds or something.

I do wish I could make my Dunmer look like this though:

But sadly the hair options in the game aren't too good, I wish they had more race specific hairstyles for Elven races tbh.

You dont, only khajiit are good looking.

I can't even make an attractive Nord woman.

Bretons, though. I can make gorgeous Bretons, which is pretty much the main reason I'm playing a Breton.

@Narvuntien - Really cute Dunmer girl, nice job!

Yes, CGI Naryu is a wicked sexy Goddess. We all know this.

Still, I think Nina Romari is cute in her own way:


Magicka NB "Red Mage" vampire FTW!

devastatingly good looking toon there Nifty.

thanks Radio-
okay- for females its actually easier than males - with all the non-human races- to make them easier on the eyes- is to make them more "human".a trick aesthetically is to soften there features and bring them down as far as possible. their cheekbones, are higher and more jutting, eyes more recess, brows are more prounounced- and thats the case with orcs, dunmer, etc. so you want to start of with soft/angular, then bring the sliders right down on all the jutting features- to make them more humanoid. so lower the cheekbones, bring them right down, make the jaw wider , raise the chin , bring back the brown bring out the eyes- make the eyes less slanted, choose a thinner eyebrow to de-emphasise the brows. also the ears- you want to reduce, pin back and reduce the tip flare.
for example with altmer you want to widen their faces, bosmer also, with orcs you want to make them more narrow. make their noses smaller, straighter and slightly wider- and with a few tweaks they can pass as a human with an ashen tan.

i enjoy trying to make one race look like another as much as possible, my breton is always confused with a high elf ( flare the ears, elongate all the features and make as angular as possible) and my imperial confused with a redguard, (broaden nose, thicken lips, round the skull, make the nose shorter and more buttony- than the famous roman nose of imperials).

hahahahha this whole discussion is great! Mine is vampire too, like some posted here, with crack eyes and everything. But check out this pic when she forgot to put on her makeup before I logged in.

KochDerDamonen

Some of us like a good stern looking-at...

tbh elves should be as unattractive as their personalities, so your average altmer should look like an amorphous abstract representation of dysentary, and it should scale towards mildly-unattractive when you get to orsimer/bosmer on the other end :^)

That's because the CGI trailers never got elves right. They aren't supposed to look "good", i.e. the Hollywood interpretation of an American high school teenager.

Delte Fyr is the best looking Dunmer you should expect.

Where do you get the idea that elves aren't supposed to be attractive? Is it an ESO thing, as elves from other traditions from Tolkien to the Sidhe have ALWAYS been beautiful.
