Mordiroth's poofy Lips look hilarious on him.

Hmm ok, I was trying something a bit different with Mordiroth... I wanted to give him the 'I eat kittens for breakfast' type look. But now I'm not sure it worked. Oh well, he may return to the drawing board after all.

@ LadyAly - Really awesome work! They are all fantastic and unique. So inspiring!

Thanks  
and my meaning to his *poofy Lips* - well keep it - he looks really like he is a psycopath, coming out of a nightmare to kill all and everyone 
 
Beware he will  eat your kitties and babies

uh_tat_vines01_0t.dds - this is in my override folder, along wiht a lot of rose tattoos - I have NO Idea what a package it was - I will try to find it in Nexus.

[Schratty]

@ mochen: Mordiroth is pretty badass looking. I give him a score of 4 out of 5 cowering kittens:









I'll comment on other designs later. Right now, there is a tall glass of whiskey with my name on it! Prost!

[Tyrax Lightning]

LadyAly: These 'Elemental Dalish Mages would be a fun idea for a Custom Campaign relating to lost Elf Lore from pre-Ferelden days. Perhaps they could culminate in a chance to learn Primal inspired Specializations for those who would wanna specialize into an Element of Choice! :happy:

In addition to the natural 4 Elements, a Nature & Spirit Mage could be cool too!

mochen: I meant no offense by my comment, it's just the extra poofy Lips don't look like they're pulling any 'horror weight' to me. I was just speaking my mind, I mean no ill tact in the process. :innocent:

Schratty: That 'cowering kitten' Scale looks like an awesome idea!!! Hmm...

Tyrax: huh, that could be kinda cool. I'd be ice or spirit.

Schratty: poor kittens as long as no kittens were harmed in the creation of that scale

Have you guys heard of this website:



www.myheritage.com



Their facial recognition software compares any photo you upload to celebrity faces and tells you who that person looks like and to which percentage. I thought it'd be sweet to compare our characters!



Alas, I have no good prints of my characters, yet. The picture must be facing forward and a neutral expression works best. Also, the better the resolution, the better the results.



I'll post here, as soon as I can get my hands on some good-quality prints.

Well now, thanks all for the warm reception on my designs there I really appreciate it. Also from the looks of it I did something right with Malik, that kind of feedback gives me some direction on future designs so thanks for voicing those opinions as well.

@Zeleen Ah so there's your strapping noble after his makeover, he turned out very well and appears to me a very stand up and wholesome type of guy. Oshin is also a nice design, I also like the fact that you have constructed something of a theme for your characters to follow as well. Good stuff

@Lynn I can certainly spot the similarity of Lynn the twin to her sister there though I can tell they both more than likely have their personalities. Elyss has something of a dark and ominous look, I like her hair alot as well.

@Starlight Whew gave us a wall-o-pics there, at any rate I commend you for playing catch up since you just found the thread. Out of them all I gotta say that dwarf sticks out to me, there's alot of character going there.

@Badboy She has a real badgirl, problem with authority, rebel without a cause demeanor. I like her, makes me think of a goth biker chick or something along that those lines.

@Tyrax Hey man don't talk about Suri that way, don't you know that kind of talk can lead a teenage girl to ruin! lol jk thanks for your feedback as always
@Mochen Mordiroth . . . wow a beast, murderer, scallywag! Definitely makes for a interesting design, I like it. Oh and don't you touch those lips! lol, they make him look gluttonous and actually work in his favor to me. Sweetness, another shot of smexy pinky is always welcomed

@Neveri Really glad to hear that one of my characters may have inspired you a little. So long as I can get the wheels turning for at least one person I'm happy

@LadyAly I swear to you I can't get enough of this whole theme, it has all turned out really great so now all that is left is to bring it on home with your fire mage!:happy:

@Schratty lol your humor is rather refreshing, I do believe you need to coin that whimpering kitty meter expression for future badasses, murderers, and shady individuals

[Neveri]

@LadyAly, loving your elemental mages, can't wait to see the fire one! <3 

I made me a new elfling, a CE rogue. Tried for a bit more simple and natural look this time, without much make-up and shiz. I wanted her to somewhat resemble Shianni. She's got a bit of a hot-temper, which at one point resulted in her getting that scar. I like my city elves to have scars of sorts.

Aine.

[Tyrax Lightning]

yasuraka.hakkyou: Lightning for me. Lightning's always been my favorite Element.

AvatarHunter: I mean no offense, but Health is important, especially when Darkspawn are constantly trying to destroy all healthiness in the land.

Neveri: Aine's got character!


I've been playing the Game quite a bit, but I finally remembered the Toolset again, & decided to spend a Morph just plain screwing around. AvatarHunter was of some inspiration for this, though I have 0 Mods for 'interesting' Skin Colors.

Pixa V1.0:



I was thinking 'Pixie', but it seems to have come out more along the lines of 'Elf Girl Kid Possesed by Demon'. Oh well, that works too.  THe 'KN' Morphs need more Hair options, like the 'QM' Morphs.

[Noir201]

This my try at something different, Sheana.

[Tyrax Lightning]

Noir201: I dig her style!

I like Schratty's idea, so i've added my tweaks to it! I've made new Pics to serve a similar, but more controllable use for the 'Cowering Kitten Scale'!

Here's an example one that displays the same result as above:

An example 4 outta 5!

To make this one, there's 2 Pics, the 'Scared Kitten', & the 'Not Scared Kitten'. Post the correct number of 'Scared Kitten' right beside each other, & the correct amount of the 'Not Scared Kitten', all on the same line, to a total of 5 Kittens. :happy:

How's this for an idea? Schratty has partial credit for this for original idea, & partial inspiration for layout development.

@Everybody. Yes she is a Bloodmage with a evil intent and background.

Ok...I have some thoughts on ways to improve the design..but be warned..that this advice will be harsh. Read on if you wish.......





This is just an opinion but I've sort of taken a look at each of the designs you've posted in the past. I think you posted an elf, a quanari and this rendition.

What I'm noticing is that there is a pattern in each of the designs..they seem a bit too angular and distorted.
Perhaps it is a style that I am not accustomed to but the designs have a feel of a face on an abstract wooden sculpture....it's very angular.

I know that there is an emphasis on giving a person "character"..(I tend to go against the norm of the forum)......but rounding the features would vastly improve the design.  You need to round out the features to really give it that realistic feel..ie..

-The bottom of the chin needs to be rounded
-The lips have an odd squiggly shape so my guess is that the values are clashing with each other.
-You need to tone down the values on "Square shape"
-Brows need to put down or back to what it was before as it is clashing with the design.
-The eyeshape you have chosen feels that it is too much of a positive number. Bring the value down a bit.

I think you may be using very high values. (Your pictures show the numerical values with the MRHs)

What you want to do is make the values somewhere in the middle between those values you've chosen...a middleground.  You tend to go very low or very high...that's...something that tends to make it difficult to make powerful designs...When you make the renditions go this high or  low, it distorts the design. Ideally, the lesser the better. Try to stay below .50. If you are going above that, then you need to adjust other values as well. But overall, you need to round out the features so that it makes the character look more realistic. If things don't pan out, don't be afraid to start anew.

As an example, here is the ORIGINAL kid morph that you started out with.

Here, you can see the bottom of the chin is a bit more rounded out and the eyebrows are in the correct position.



What I tend to do is save often. Save a copy of your renditions right before you decide to do something daring or risky. Maybe you want to change the shape and really make something crazy out of it...not a problem..just make sure to save..because it might work..but it might not. And it's always good to revert back to old changes. It's almost like a game in and of itself. You try out new things. If it doesn't work, you revert back. If it WORKS, you save. And you press on. What you DON'T want to do is continue on after the experiment didn't work and try to fix a face. It's easier to recreate a better face than it is to fix a broken one. I use the save method all the time. Because sometimes the best critic of your work is yourself.....Make a lot of saves. Try out new things but revert back if things don't look right. Make many renditions and combine the strengths of each of your designs and combine them onto one morph.

Petehog: I'm embarrased to admit this, but Pixa was an act of completely, utterly, screwing around. I meant to mention this the 1st time.  She wasn't a serious work. I did some screwy things with her on purpose. She had full power Alistair Slider & full power Elf Girl Slider on at the same time. This is the kinda thing I do to cool off from crafting attempts. She was part comic ugly, part experimentation.

When i'm doing serious builds, I am trying to do better at the caution with the extremes. After Pixa, I attempted a old Human Male Mage that had gotten his stupid butt possesed by a Demon, but that one got lost in a Freeze before I had made my 1st Caution Save. This one happened alarmingly early in the build. It's looking like I might have to do my Caution Saves every 1-2 minutes. <_< They usually don't happen until near the end of the build... & I tended to have a Caution Save by then.

The Kid Morphs need more Hairstyles. It was seriously very boring of BioWare to give each gender only 1 Hairstyle. Some of us people wanna be weird & do stuff with kid Morphs, like make juvenile gangs, spoiled rotten brat noble kids, kid Princes/Princesses, possesed Kids, etc. I'm even considering placing a kid Morph on one of my Dummy Characters to see if they can even work in the Game, like the Qunari Morph can. I can't speak for everyone, but I think it could be hilarious saving Ferelden with a rugrat! Though a kid with an adult voice is gonna be very weird, even if ya try to give them the cover story of them being mature for their years. (I can be a bit weird in the head from time to time. But seriously, this isn't even new ground. Sora of the Kingdom Hearts Games is proof! There's also kid heroes in some of the FF Games, my favorite so far being Krile of FF5, though the kid Rydia is close behind.)

Hello, everyone! 

I come with a character, a small story behind her face, and a request, if anyone would endulge me.

Katriel was my first ever toolset creation, back when DA:O first came out. She came to be after I played the game for a first time with an elven mage tweaked from one of the default CC presets and decided that I wanted my next character a bit more arwen-esque looking, for the lack of better word. 

She was a product of several hours of toolset work, and 5 or 6 small feature tweaks after loading her in and out of the game after that. I was proud of how she came out, proud enough to post her in the projects after a while, actually.

The problem was, I wasn't very versed in the toolset file extentions back then, and the only file I had kept was a .mor. Every couple weeks/months since then I am occasionally revisited by a desire to recreate her so I have a source file of that face to either tweak, or just heck... have it. I've done numerous attempts, and every one is off, somehow. Either the shape, the texture blend, wrong features, I just can't seem to get it right, and in an odd way I can't let it go and move on different designs because I feel that project is incomplete.

So, if anyone would be interested in helping me dissect the toolset values for the face, I'd really appreciate itl .

@ Neveri: I really like Aine's angular features. She has a kind of androgynous beauty about her.


@ Noir: Wow! That is some intense color Sheana is sporting! Definitely a nice addition to the fun designs theme

@ AvatarHunter: Ingrid is another one of your females that possesses an unconventional beauty. Definitely not a woman to cross. Excellent work!

@ Rheia: Katriel is an elegant beauty! Honestly, I wouldn't recommend changing a thing

@ The Velveteen Rabbit: First, that was one of my favorite books when I was kid. Second, your character actually kind of reminds me of a bunny. I think it's the combination of the cute rounded nose and her eye shape. Cute!

The face is the blonde gal I posted a while ago.

I changed up the hair color, hairstyle, eye color and her outfit.

nice lingerie it's sexy !

[Lynn01]

@Tyrax, yes I know. That upper right picture of Elyss is weird. It seems bugged somehow. It doesn't disturb me too much at the moment though but it is weird. You should see a screenshot I made of Alistair, that would even be much much worse.

@Starlight, I didn't want to make my mage too sweet and I really liked her dark make-up and her tattoo. It fits her in my opinion

@LadyAlly, Zeleen, Neveri, AvatarHunter, thank you

@LadyAlly, thing is I do not work with the toolset or the character creator. I made new games. Somehow my toolset is unfindable after installation and I kinda gave up the search to make it work. As for CC well.. Let's just say I now got Lynn, Aveyna and Elyss in there saved and well.

[LadyAly]

@mochen - I can't find the resource for the Tattoo I used on Flora 

@neveri  She is beautiful - so much personality on her. There is nothing I would change:)  
@Tyrax  it made me giggle - fool around can be pretty funny 
@Noir201 Sexy - even if my eyes hurt about the colors - they bite each other :innocent: And this is only personal taste. Her face is really pretty.

@Avatar Hunter OH - Ingrid ! She looks like the german girl next door. I like. I would give her a tad more blue eyes, though and probably a bit more upper lip - but she has a unique style <3   

@Rheia  Yes she is pretty nice - but I'm rather a newb - so I can't help you - sry  

@The Velveteen Rabbit Cute, but her nose is way to big for her features. try a smaller one.

@Schratty - LOL - You and Tyrax making Kitten-eat-history mathematics eh ??

@Petehog - Sexy Underwear - you have a good tatse for Lingerie  

@Lyn I understand , but the IG CC is not much different to the CC - program. YOu doing really good work with 

Now its time to complete the Magical shamrock
I present Flare Amell, Fir Mage, and the only Arcane Warrior in the team. Always click for the full picture
