Gave up trying to make a Dunmer

I've tried creating a handsome male Dunmer many times now. Only to have them exit the little house in Davon's Watch looking less than stellar. As everyone knows, the lighting in the creation screen is pretty bad. But some of the NPCs though look half-way decent. Is there any site that provides slider stats to work off of?

    Handsome is of course a matter of taste, but I'm quite happy with mine and I can promise u can make a beautiful/handsome Dunmer (goes with every race/gender) :
    (gotta use old pictures, since facial expressions are laggy atm and everyone looks grumpy)

    You know how I fixed my problem? I always wear a Breton hood with the face mask lol. Although I recently upgraded all my gear and now I cover my ugliness with a dwemer mask hahaha.

    Elves are tricky since they have very extreme features. The easiest way to start is to put the body sliders at medium (go back to tweak later) start with the bald head and no scars, makeup or tattoos and choose the skin tone first. The most prominent elf features, depending on the look you want, can be toned down to be more humanly attractive. Give him a shorter chin, narrow the cheekbones. All those typically "elf features" just need to be tempered a bit like @CirithValaria did, very nice Dunmer btw! Then, like the poster above, with the chin, nose, cheekbones made smaller, the prominent ears look great!

    Balance is the key here, taking notes of what looks off when you leave the house compared to the creation screen would help too. Once you're out of the house, go to different locations in the city, in different buildings and lighting types. That will really help you get a good idea of where the problem features are. I've done it myself!

    I can post a Dunmer guy with sliders later today or tomorrow as well :)

    Update: Urgh... I made a Dunmer hottie and lost my screenshots. I'll give it another shot though!

    As someone who has spent much time creating female characters, I can only tell you will not find any pages to help you. Everything is based on trial and error. It is true that does not help the difference between the screen of creation and the end result in the game. I lost literally weeks searching for something I liked.It depends on the physical characteristics that you like and time you are willing to lose until you find what you are looking for.

    When you try several times you will see that it will become increasingly easy going distinguishing what works for you and what does not. Do not be afraid to try extreme, it is often what works best. For the occasion I created my first male character: a dark elf. Hope this can help you.

    See you in Tamriel ;)

    Dunmers are actually supposed to be ugly.

    Though my female dark elf looks pretty. I'm sure you can make a good looking male dunmer too. ^^

    Circu already appears on @CirithValaria 's post but I want to show her off a little bit more.

    For me many female Dunmers look somewhat angry or bored. I wanted to create a cute one. She's my first main character in the game and I'm quite happy with her looks.

    I have similar issue with my brand new nord. Every time in character selection I wonder, how on earth I made her look like THAT. Then in game she looks just like I wanted her to.
