    I wanted battle-scarred and burnt, but I think he turned out pretty good. These are some of Mol gro Durga and his wife Fianna Kingsley:

    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

    It's very easy and simple. You make a Bosmer and name her Orc.

    I like to go for a particular aesthetic, instead of what would be traditionally "good-looking". That way I usually end up with a unique looking character, and even if not everyone finds them appealing, someone will. My female orc, for example, has a good amount of muscle and wide hips, which hip lovers love and traditionalists find "meh", and her face, while soft and very beautiful in my opinion, looks to others like a lightbulb. Either way, everyone agrees that she's unique compared to many orcs. I did this with my male orc too - went for a more elven face, but kinda middle of the road from narrow to heroic/soft, and went muscle and pudge on the body. He's not the most unique orc, but in the very least he doesn't have that dumb expression you find on most orcs. I'll update with a screenshot when I get a chance.

    UPDATE: My male orc -

    Orc attractiveness hummmm. I just call them majestic.

    Orcs have distinct features that highlight their race. I suppose a good looking orc might have these features tweaked with the slider.

    In the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you were taught that the way to learn to fly is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. To make a good-looking Orc you have to attempt to make an ugly one and fail. Of course, most attempts will fail by giving you an ugly Imperial instead...

    Frankly, I prefer orc looks to altmer. Altmer are just streached-out and gross.

    First, you must conduct the ritual of appeasement by calling out to Malacath or @Ghettokid. Then sacrifice a forumgoer you don't care about, and roll up your character. Next, realize you have failed, and your new orc still looks like they were brained one too many times with a shovel. Finally, give up, and roll up a Breton instead.

    I tried desperately for hours to make a good-looking male orc and just failed utterly, but that's definitely due to an "eye of the beholder" issue for me. The underbite and the lantern jaw are just unsurmountable obstacles for me. So I got frustrated and made the most hideous one I could possibly make, instead. It was funny for a while but eventually I got sick of it and deleted him, because I'm pretty shallow with my toons and they must be pretty.

    My best friend made a female orc that we call Butterface. From behind, she's hard to quit staring at.

    Good looks are in the eye of the beholder.
    Orcs care less about the appearance and more about the substance...

    ...if an orc looks -tough- orcs thinks that is a good look. And that usually ends with many tough-looking baby orcs from the toghest orc parents!

    ...if an orc looks pretty... orcs will call them wimps and make fun of them. And then they don't get to pass on the pretty genes, to make sure the next generation will grow -stronger-, which is what orcs care about!

    And that, in a nutshell, explains why it must be hard to make an orc that other races consider "good looking". So, get on with the program, and make yourself an orc that strikes fear in the hearts of their enemies and makes them brown their trousers when charging at 'em! (while looking good at punching faces)

    Just ask my Kes, she'd tell ya!

    Wow! Despite a little shade thrown the Orc's way, however hilarious it may have been, you've all managed to come up with a lot of great examples of good-looking orcs. We can't wait to see more Orcs strut their stuff!

    On a side note, it's nice to see Orcs get some recognition from The Academy.
