Help me create a handsome fella-male character :)

I have ten characters and only three of them are male, two of which are khajiit. The lack of diversity in character settings for males is disturbing and reminds me of this meme.


But here's my altmer. I pretty much maxed out on body sliders and went with heroic face.

Depends on how much diversity in looks, bodytypes and ages you want to get. If you only try to make conventionally handsome guys with triangle shaped chests and square jaws of course you'd feel limited.

I got some skinny short guys, some old fellas, and some muscle bound brutes. But yeah, I could always use more beards, no doubt about that. And maybe also more balding hairstyles.

My characters:

Same one as above after makeover:

To much sausage in game already

I wouldn’t change the facial features at all, just get yourself one of those colour wheels that lists opposite colours and use that to assign a suitably striking hair and eye colour. Choose the skin tone. After that it’s just a matter of hairstyle and you’re good to go. The basic presets are pretty solid in my experience and the more you change the more you’ll probably end up having to pay for a re-specification scroll to change that face in any case. 🤔

When it comes to the style triangle between heroic and so forth, I tend to put the pointer on the bottom right section of the Innercircle. That’s a pretty good average. The more extreme characters features become the more you’ll only want to change the later anyway. Then pump up the physique and body mass as high as it will go, because let’s face it that’s what’s going to end up happening eventually anyway. We are making hero after all. 😊

Although I might be biased, with my stable full of one male character, three generic ones whose gender is largely relevant and are nothing but crafting Writ alts and then half a dozen female Nords. Trust me when I say, bigger the better. 😇

The covenant hair and a beard works wonders for male characters. Best of luck! Included sliders in case you like the build.

Also I just read the rest of the original post and realize I made a pretty male altmer....less of a warrior look. Oh well XD

Here's my dude, IDK if he's 'handsome' but if you like what you see, I can get his sliders!

Here's my templar healer, long my main for group content. I was going more for a specific look that what would broadly be considered handsome but I quite like how he looks.



This thread inspired me to have a try at creating a beautiful guy. I think a prominent nose balances when other features are more angled, but if you want it smaller for softer features, scale back the length rather than changing the shape or you'll end up with a pug nose (see sliders below).



While I couldn't find the perfect eyebrows, I quite like how he turned out too. I took screenshots to recreate him once I have a character concept, etc.

I'll post a picture of my Altmer another time. But in my experience you have to lean to the angular/heroic area of the facial triangle on character creation. Lower eye brows, a slight frown and slightly closed eyes.
