Her eyebrows are too thick and she needs the dark red lipstick

Put a paper bag on it's head.

I'd lower the eyes a little and bring them closer together a bit if you can. Maybe go a little softer on the face, thin the eyebrows and make the cheek bones less pronounced, maybe widen the jaw or cheeks a little. The eyes are the part that stand out the most to me as off putting when I look at her.

Failing that randomise till something you like pops up that you can tweak.

I was just wondering about the cheekbones..

I was allready at pretty low setting compasred to my other characters.. Took them3 clicks to the left so since Dunmer seem to have very pronounced cheekbones by default, i could actually go full left and then the cheeks look like my other characters though that not normal for Duhnmer i guess..






In these, the cheekbones are made to full left so they are as narrow as possible, eyes full left too. Jawbone has been increased couple of clicks so its just one click more narrow that the original default.

Also, the triangle went a bit from soft to heroic.

The eyebrows are lost cause though, those are only ones that are angled the way i like, the others just look way too pointy for my taste.

I'd bring up both the chin and mouth a little. Her face looks a little elongated. Other than that, I like her.

I think maybe her eyes are too big.

What do you think of her now?

Some changes have been made there









@SydneyGrey
Hmm, i think Dunmer are supposed to have a bit elongated faces.. At least thats what i think of them at least

Ooooh I really like her profile (from the side) - very feminine. And she has a more calm expression on her face now ^^ And I agree, you shouldn't "remove" too many of the features that make her Dunmer - she doesn't need to be a porcelain doll

This topic is inspiring me to change my own char - I bought a token on sale a while back, but haven't gotten round to using it

@Tapio75

Yeah, the select screen and character creation have always been "deceiving". Can't tell you how many times (before tokens) I deleted and remade my characters after seeing them in real world and being horrified at the result!!

Glad I could help, even if just a little - I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your character ^^

I bet she'll look a bit more exotic if she one day gets rid of her vampirism - as she'll have her Dunmer eyes back. But other than that, I think she'll still look gorgeous

Someone post a sexy/good looking dark elf face. A challenge!!!

I don't find the recent versions of your character an issue personally, other than I would go for less slanted eyes, just a personal preference.

Here is mine, it took me a long time (many weeks) to come to grips with her stage 4 vampirism even with the oracle eyes but once I went with this hairstyle and the primal(?) armor look along with the Telvanni personality, I liked it enough to finish levelling her up.

The eyes less slanted bring the cheek bones fatter slightly and make the chin less pointed she will look great then, the red looks nice try black lipstick option at the end as well.

she looks fine with the red lipstick in the first picture.

keep the hair.

jmo.

I always do the changes without hair distracting, then add it back when finishing the character. i find it easier to see all the shapes and features, when there is no good looking hair distracting me. Then again lipstick is another thing, its best used when changing appearance as it makes the shape of lips more apparent than when using none. With loght lip colors, one often makes lips too full and ends up with overinflated lips when using dramatic lips colors

That hairstyle will be her deault hairstyle. The Orsinium ponytail will be the "battle hair".

@VexingArcanist


I like her style. Very Dunmerish and the dramatic features makes her very characteristic to be unique.

@MakoFore

They do indeed, and now would be a good tim to make threads about the issues of character creation/appearance change as they have been here since the beta.

I actually made my own version about it recently and gave few sggestions too. I have concluded, that most problems on character creation come from it trying to be too immersive while its main purpose is to be as good a creation tool as possible. Though i admit, that at the same time it needs to have some decent "decorations" so its not too boring and not too eyestraining experience when one sculpts the character for hours

Dont get me wrong, im real immersoholist, but i just think that its place is inside the game where the created character will live and do his/her daily chores and duties.
