There's some great stuff being posted right now. I'm about to go to bed so I'll comment later.

Here's something I was messing around with. He likes sharp objects and pretty maidens. Not much of a talker though.

Jack

hrm..do you mean he like to apply sharp objects onto pretty maidens or apply pretty maidens onto sharp objects or just pretty maidens holding sharp objects.....? <_<

Taking a little break from game-playing...
LadyAly posted her earlier but this is Lady Zelenya Cousland by LadyAly.. puts a whole new spin on role-playing (awww if only we could turn back the clock)


seeing the Morrigan morphs inspired me .. she is not lore by any means but my interpretation of a "Whitch of the Wilds" I actually liked it well enough to make a character for her..



It's getting late so I will coment tomorrow..

@Saerwen, she's a lovely lady with a slightly pissed off look about her, but I think there is something odd about her eyes as well, I'd suggest narrowing them a tiny bit, like LadyAly said. Oh and, I really like that tattoo on her. Morwen does look like a blood mage, she's very beautiful and that tattoo suits her, I like how it matches her eye colour. Also, the hug Tamlen mod is adorable!

@LadyAly, serious try or not, I still liked it. And I agree with you that Morrigan should have a more wild look about her, I actually quite like that mask'ish makeup on her. The only thing I'd pick at is her mouth looking somewhat sad compared to the rest of her. Also, love that you gave her darker skin, up until AvatarHunter made his Claudia Black morph I've been using a dark skinned Morrigan for ages.
Nice take on Zeleen, you gave a really lovely lady a very pretty design of herself, especially like her eyes.

@AvatarHunter, awesome bunch of ladies. Lucy is adorable, especially her eyes and ears, oddly enough. I like Saphren's strong face, and the red and black colouring fits her perfectly. I think Priscilla is my favourite among the lot, even though her names makes me think of ''Pricilla, Queen of the Desert''. I really like the way you add small ''flaws'' to your characters, going away from complete perfection.

@Nowshin, I like Scylla's backgroundstory, and she looks quite nice, give her a black and red dress and she'd really look like a black widow. Joe doesn't look all that fanatic, but she does have a determined look about her, and I really like her lips. I dig your take on Zevran. As much as I love him, the original looks horrid. Yours look handsome, as young as I imagine him. I'd use that morph, actually. The stalker Alistair picture made me giggle. ^^

@Starlight, randomly, the dwarves don't get forced into the Legion of the Dead, they choose it themselves to clear their names and other reasons. But besides that, Nic is a tough looking dwarf.

@Tyrax Lightning, hm, I see your point. Male hairstyles are somewhat lacking, sadly. I'd probably have suggested the dreadlock hair, as yeah, most of the other hair is very pretty boy'ish or just plain ugly. =/

@Schratty, the books have the benefit of being more portable than my computer is, makes for more comfort!
Theresia is goregous, I really like those eyes to her overall colouring. And her lips, very lovely lips. :3

@mochen, holy flaming flying bats, Jack is seriously awesome and totally scary, he almost makes darkspawn look cuddly. .___.

@Zeleen, 'tis fun to play yourself, isn't it? Although a tad creepy at times. I like your take on Morrigan as well, it's nice to see different versions of a character.

So, I finally got the toolset to work. I have no idea how, but it works now, sort of. I don't really have a clue about how to work with it, but I'll figure it out eventually.
So, here is my first toolset made character, Lanaia. An arrogant, somewhat ****y sort of assassin.

Lanaia.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

Bit of news, all. I'm back up in my college town without my good PC, so you won't see designs from me regularly, only on random weekends and on holiday breaks. I'll try to post here and there, but just a heads up.

Nowshin: that's a good Zev morph imho. smoothed out his face and I imagine proportioned him just right. although that first shot of your Morrigan creeps me out for some reason. I dunno why...

LadyAly: I think your best talent is just that - the real-life player-based morphs

Schratty: Theresia is nice. but, the proportions look a bit out of whack to me . the angled-shot from the side hides that though.

mochen: ...the Redcliffe tavern owner got a little tired of everyone calling him round, didn't he? XD that was my first impression of him.

Neveri: we have another toolset user? woot! I would recommend narrowing the eyes tho

@ Saerwen: I really like Morwen's color scheme (especially the hair!!). The gaunt cheeks are also a very nice touch Her chin does seem to be very prominent, if you want to try for a more "feminine" feel, you might consider narrowing and raising it a bit And Tamlen + Hugs = Bittersweet

@ Zeleen: I'm glad to see Morrigan getting some more love from the thread I think the tan skin (as mentioned before to LadyAly) really suits someone living in the Wilds for most of their life. I also think the longer hair helps emphasize her "wildness" as well

@ Neveri: Lanaia's small features really help portray a sense of arrogance. At the same time, however, they also make her look cute. Good stuff

@ Y.H.: Hmm...I'm not seeing it *shrug* I think you're busting my balls

@ badboy64: Your dwarf's skin looks so smooth! She's very pretty, however I would recommend using a different lip color. With her darker skin tone the lipstick looks a little out of place. I'd suggest something a little more muted and/or natural (a soft pink or red). Merely a suggestion though

Oh my - this is again far too much to read or comment yet - I mean its 7 am - I shouldn't do this early morning *lol*.

Will do it later in office if I have time - interesting things I saw ;P

[Nowshin]

@Schratty: Theresia looks very adorable! I agree with tyrax on the lips, but they suit her very well so I don't think you should have changed them even if you could. She fits her description very well except for the shrewd part, but I guess that makes her more dangerous doesn't it?  personally I think,however, that humble and shrewd should not be used in the same line 

@Starlight: I'd like to point out that most of your characters' screenshots are taken in places with odd lighting which does not complement their features, maybe move on to other places?

@AvatarHunter: lol I agree, I was spoilered about Zevran being a LI before I played the game, and when I saw Vanilla Zev all I could think was "WTF who would romance that..THING?" It is actually very easy making Aesthetic versions of him, since no one can mess up worse than Bioware, but keeping him true to the lore and making him good looking really is a challenge. *headdesk*

@Chairon de Celeste: Thank you! I love scylla a lot too.

@Zeleen: your new design reminds me of a panther....and Lady Zelenya Cousland is<3

@Neveri: If that Alistair pic made you laugh then look at my posts on page 159....lots of Stalker! Alistair there:wub: And mog you have not been using toolset all this time? You are a genious then! And Lanaia looks very tough and somewhat arrogant.

@Saerwen: Morwen seems shrewd but beautiful, she and morrigan would be BFfs:devil: And yay for hugs! I think her eyes could be a bit more narrowed, though.

@Mochen: jack is scary:alien:

Thanks Mochen - you're right: it was one of the

Jack also reminds me of hoe 'The Butcher' in Diablo 1
may have looked like in life, before he was turned

@ Neveri:
Laraia has that look on her face probably many wardens

 I'll follow Zeleen's example and post some funny pics from Sun-Noshin's Journey in the tower:



She poses sexily even when Irving and Gregoir are chewing her head off...


Photo-bombed by Jowan!

Took his clothes off permanently as revenge

[Chairon de Celeste]

@Nowshin
She iloks like sorts of a
'whoever did it,.- I'm cute and  innocent' person
who always gets away with it => Morrigan
and the chasind caravan traveller from her tale.

My mages always side with Irving for quite a while
now - Jowan's denial about being a bloodmage
comes to hasty and nervously for my taste.
So when Gregoir plays his little 'the mages have
kicked 1 of my game figures off the board, now I
want to see the star pupil  kicked as a revenge'
game,
Irving just mocks him

@Chairon de Celeste  You should post that accident one on the ugly threat *LMAO*
Yanneek looks really a bit like a rascal - *thumbs - well done*
(( but i have no idea why I have inspired you for this design?? *lol* )) 

@Saerwen Morwen is elegant and sophisticated, and if I look at this hugging screenie with Tamlen not a evil sort of blood-mage  
Thanks very much for the comment on Morrigan and Zelenya.
The make up is difficult, indeed. If I make it lighter it looks really like a bruise and darker like Zorro's mask. I tried different colors - but that loosk weird, too.
@mochen *hides with a scream - totally shocked*  
What a horror design - 
Now you need to make a beautiful woman to compensate my shock  Holy crap - you are so gifted dear ! 
@Zeleen I'm very happy that you have fun to play her and she looks really good  
Your take on Morrigan is interesting - I like this design. The only thing I would do is lower her nose a tad - seems a little bit high.

@Neveri thx dear. As for the sad mouth = let me explain. She feels betrayed and throw out of her life in the wilds - so what else can she be then angry, annoyed and sad ? I know I wanted maybe too much - to let her look wild, sad and b.i.t.c.h.y. *lol*
Lanaia is exquisite - fragile, young and self confident - perfect work !!! <3  

@Y.H. THX :happy: will miss your designs, though:mellow: 

@badboy64 Nice dwarf warrior you have here, but I can only agree with the others. The lipstick color looks wrong on her and took a lot of personality away. 

@Nowshin Weeeeeeeeee - I love to see her IG - thanks for posting it. She is so pretty !

While reading your comment about Arthanos 'the lightbulb' appeared over my head

Caladhiel wrote...

@Chairon: Okay, first to Persey:
her face is beautiful, but I don't think the white hair really suits
her... I think it's the combination with the dark brown eyes and the
slightly darker eyebrows which make the hair seem more like a veil^^
Maybe if you tried toning down the eye colours it might look better
Elaine looks like a very young (and also spoiled) Cousland girl.
Arthanos'
eyes are really huge, and the high eyebrows give him a suprised
expression. Maybe try giving him smaller, maybe a little more shrewd
eyes, and lower the eyebrows, see how it works
 

Spoiled and headstrong @ Elaine

Persey is one of the 3 available companions in Kevin Chan's
NWN oc module series Tales Of Arterra.
She is a succubus there and develops her own personality
with the help of the player char - originally she is merely an
empty vessel.
She is meant to look unreal with the white hair like
in Kevin Chan's module.
I'm still working on Evanine - an elve with a similar backstory
as the human noble - she really has a deathwish and would've
... um no more spoilers  - the ToA mods are on nwvault.ign.com
after all

Arthanos will have to stay back in character bootcamp
- I will keep him as an early char though.

I've only I knew wich movie actor Yanneek reminds me of

Arryth Tabris - before a Tevinter blood mage turned her into Psylocke
- not meant to be played; just a reference pic

Here is a different lip color.

[Nowshin]

Ok, so I added some lines on Zevran's face, tweaked this eyebrows somewhat,darkened his skin color a couple of notches (it is pt_skn_t05, the lighting is quite nice here so actually he looks fairer than he is) and lifted the corners of his mouth a little. I think the tweaks have added character, so thanks to people for their suggestions.






I am not sure about changing the tattoo color though....what do you guys think? Does it look better or worse?

Edit: Used pt_skn_d01instead of pt_skn_t05, but I don't like it much.

@ Nowshin: Zevran - I love the fact that in every screen of him he looks so damn cocky. It serves his character well I also like the change in tattoo color.

@ Caladhiel: Wow! Now THAT is a block of text! Regarding Luc, yeah, I don't dig redheaded men either Oh, and on Theresia, that's a good eye you have. I actually used Anora as a reference. I was trying to capture that "Queenlyness" she has about her design, but soften it up. Because, let's face it, Anora is a b--h...

Still headdesking over the skin color though....

**peeking in from work**
peeps are busy designing again...
I will make the suggested changes for "Morrigan" character.. she doesn't have a name yet and she's in Kasandrah's game..
@ Nowshin... she's so lovely and isn't it a hoot to play "yourself" I like your "cocky" Zev.. I always thought of him and Leliana having an affair of the heart after the Blight.

time to go...  later

[AvatarHunter]

Much obliged to all for the feedback on my ladies. Since I attempted to make them all look vastly different I was looking forward to mixed reviews which is what I got. I am also glad that many of you were picking up on the subtle flaws or personality enhancers as i like to think of them that were within their appearances.

@Nowshin The hairstyle you went with for Scylla was a good call I think, to me sometimes there is always just one particular hair choice that compliments your characters more than others and this would be an example of that. For Joe however you certainly went with a more challenging style to pull off, although I will say I like the pale skin and ginger hair look. You have also tweaked Zevran to the point of no return lol, very well done.

@Schratty Very classy noble you have constructed, the regal look is certainly an appearance that stands out a lot if you get it just right. I like her full cheeks and this may possibly be biased but I like the full lips, it just comes off as very feminine to me in most cases.

@Starlight One thing I would like to point out that shows up in all your designs as of late is something of a natural look which is what I like. I have never really seen you make attempts at gaudy or extreme looking characters and I can appreciate the more laid back and simplistic feel.

@Saerwen I like how you structured Morwen's face with regard to the amount of gaunt you used, it makes her cheekbones look more prominent. she also looks something like a keeper apprentice.

@Mochen Well you definitely got very creative with Jack there, I don't know why but Sin City came to mind when I stared at him for a minute. Interesting design.

@Neveri Alright, first of all . . . you haven't been using toolset this entire time?! That in itself really baffles me. Lanaia does have a snobby air about her and I think her nose pushes that look a lot. she also has a hardened look, a product of her enviornment i would say.

@Zeleen Taking yourself out for a spin around Fereldon I see, fun stuff The tan skin and dark hair really make the yellow eyes on your witch of the wilds pop, a good example of the results of a good color combination.

@Badboy might be me but i noticed you are sort of fond of that bleach blonde hair. That hair color with the tan skin creates something of a californian surfer appearance which always stands out to me. It also stands out because I haven't really seen those color choices for a dwarf which is different.

@Caladhiel  Yes I did want a slight bit of a masculine look for saphren with the strong rectangular face shape, she is assertive so I wanted to enforce the feeling more with a strong face shape.

[AvatarHunter]

Here is a couple of characters I designed influenced by the main quests in the game. It is sort of characters who would have been taking part or involved in some way with those events in the quests, for example these two are based off of the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest.

Ser Stamos - A knight of Redcliffe Castle. A calm and confident individual who is militant minded and strongly believes in the policy of being firm but fair. His weapon of choice is his beloved greatsword passed down to him by his father who also served as a Redcliffe knight. Aside from his grizzled appearance he harbors a good sense of humor and sometimes displays his wit during dangerous situations.
 

Creighton - Childhood friend of Stamos and a templar stationed at the chantry in Redcliffe. A loyal and reliable man with a tendency to always stick his neck out for the mistreated and underappreciated. Because of this he often checks up on Bella's well being and hackles Llyod whenever he feels it is neccessary. Of course it is no secret to anyone that he is quite taken by Bella which explains his behavior. He also chose to travel with Stamos once he caught word that all of the knights were being ordered by Isolde to search for the Urn of Sacred Ashes.

[adneate]

@AvatarHunter I do like your trio of female characters, interesting touch trying to incorporate minor flaws into the characters. I think you did a pretty good job making them blend in and not stick out like a sore thumb. As for your two Knights Stamos is good but I'm not so sure about Creighton his features are really strange and a bit unatural. I know you like to mix things up but Creighton feels like he might have been a bridge too far so to speak.

@Schratty Theresia is quite nice, I love that hairstyle though! Bangs was what is desperetly needed and now that it has them I love to use it on nobles, though I think Anya wears it the best. As for the lips, I'm a fan of full lips personally, but I do feel the pain of having to puff the lips up to get them to seal even somewhat properly. It seems human females are the ones eternally plagued with lip issues. Only gripe I can think of is just a slight narrowing of the jawline I can see a noticeable lump in it, not a major problem by any means but something to think about at the very least.

@Saerwen Morwen is a good start, but I have a few suggestions for her. First would be to bring the chin up and inwards it's maybe just a bit too big and juts out a bit too much. Then I'd bring the brows down more so they rest just a little bit above the eyes and the last thing would by to put the cheekbones just under the eyes and give a little more width to the cheeks take away the slightly gaunt look.

@Mochen I Like Jack! Glad to see the chubby looking dude you PMed me about a while ago!

I'm currently pulling my hair out over Faye Tabris, I was expecting to have a revised version of her ready but I don't know anymore it feels like I might need to do a substantial rework of her to get it right. In the mean time I made another male design so here's that instead.





Edit: Anyway I think I have the improved Faye now.

@Nowshin, gotta love stalker Alistair. I've not been using the toolset up until now, no. For some reason I find the half naked Jowan somewhat disturbing. I mean.. it's Jowan. o.o Are you planning on releasing your Zevran? 'cause I'd totally use that.

@LadyAly, I see your point. Personally I never imagined Morrigan to be able to get sad, although I guess even she has feelings, deep down somewhere. <.<

@Caladhiel, that was honestly my first toolset design, ever. Thank you for the compliments.

@badboy64, your dwarf looks lovely, the new lip colour fits her much better.

@AvatarHunter, no toolset for me until now, no. I'm sure I've complained about not getting it to work a few times, but I shall take it as a compliment that people thought I was using it.
Ser Stamos kind of reminds me of Loghain, without looking like a paranoid raccoon. I really like his skin, it adds to his character quite nicely.
As for Creighton, I'm going to take a wild guess and say you based him off Daniel Craig, who has some odd facial features as well.

@adneate, your nameless warrior man has a good, strong look about him. Although, I think his nose bridge might be a tad to thin, at least compared to the rest of his rather impressive nose. Faye is beautiful, nice colours and the light makeup fits her nicely.

I intended to make a more living-in-the-Wilds looking Morrigan, but she sort of morphed herself into another Chasind lady, ups.
Fahari is a bit more nonchelant than the other's, adept at magic with a preference to fire spells.
