@ Wolfheart - Ah gotcha, i'll experiment and see what happens.

I'm doing a Velanna redesign at the moment. Here's how it's going so far. Any feedback would be appreciated guys! :)

Keep going. Well proportioned face, and the eyes fit her personality - btw only read info about her. If we want to dream big, she should be romancable so her b...y attitude is softened :-)

I know you are not a fan of tattoos, imo you should either remove it, or use a tad more intensity (if you are interested, can provide Myriadh's for ya)

Thanks Wolfheart. The lighting in the screenshot doesn't show the tat very well to be honest, it looks better in other areas of the game. :)

Feedback appreciated!

@Mochen Well as far as suggestions for improvement there is really nothing I can spot. Very nice interpretation, you can see much of your personal style went into this design which is what I look for in different versions of pcs and npcs. Head shake of approval for you.

A came up with a couple new designs inspired by the lore of Fereldon. This is Elethea Cousland who led a battle against Calenhad and Dane the Werewolf who was the owner of the sword Yusaris and the one who led an assault against werewolves that almost wiped them out. Since they both lived back during a time of war and  a time when Fereldon wasn't even established I thought I would shoot for making them look a bit feral and battle hardened.

@Tyrax - Thanks for the compliments on the screenie=)



@Mochen - I agree with Wolf, the tat (at least in that shot) is a little light. I guess if it comes in better in different areas of the game, it might be a moot to point to bring up, but that's about the only thing I can see that I would change.



@Avatar - Dane is pretty good, but that Eleathea would be my favorite of the two. I think you really nailed the battle hardened look on her. Good stuff.

Haha, my tattoos have officially invaded this thread, glad to see it.

@AvatarHunter: Elethea is indeed a spot on vanguard, looks kinda celtic with the blue facepaint. Very well caught moment at the 2nd screenshot. A minor thing only, don't think warrior chicks have much time to thin their eyebrows ;-) Dane is pretty cool too, however the BD is a little out of place. Recommend Akela or Running Free, those contain wolves. Edit: actually, he is just fine without a tattoo, too much is not enough, but in some cases less is more... ;-)

@Wyldsong & Wolf Thanks for the thoughts and good suggestions wolf, I wasn't sure whether or not to even have a tat for Dane. I think may just go without on him. As far eyebrows, hmm I like sharp eyebrows lol, I think I know of a mod that could thicken them a bit though and still keep the look I wanted. I have been skimming through codexes and ran across alot of characters that I think I may continue to try to interpret like these two.

I did away with the tat on Dane and changed the eyebrows a bit on both to be a bit more fitting perhaps now.

tmp7704: Many thanks for the info! I wasn't aware of that, i'm still adjusting to the Nexus Waters.



mochen: Once again, as with the Bella redesign, I can't gauge how she is compared to the original, since I have yet to meet the original Velanna, but I can gauge how she looks. & I say she looks like a cutie, & a 'Don't cross me!' at the same time!



AvatarHunter: You've done it! If I remember right, Ferelden's distant past was a Barbarian Age, & she definitely looks the part of a Barbarian Chieftess! Dane looks good too, if you wanted him to look like his build is balanced between brawn & wisdom. If ya want him to look more brawny, I would go for a wider Jaw & a bit more Nose Bridge width to make the Nose look more muscled.

Schratty: not bad. what I'd do is drop the chin a bit lower, and make the jaw a bit less V-ish. up to you on the jaw, but I'd recommend trying the chin. (jaheira hair elf I think)

mochen: that's a nice velanna :) has anyone been annoyed with her tattoo, because it's so faint (in general)? you can barely see it unless you zoom into her face. blargh.

Avatar: while Elethea's 2nd screenie is great, I like Dane more.

I like Dane better.

From looking at the picture, I would guess that Ethea was made with Masa texture, squint, t3 skin, a tattoo and variation of DT eyes and a leliana haircut.

@ mochen: Squee! :) Nice to have you back! Your Velanna is really cool, and much pettier than the original: you can still see the hurt and hatred in her face without it being distorted like in Awakening. And I don't mind the lightness of the tattoo - I'm a great fan of that particular colour design myself ;)



@AvatarHunter: Elethea is a blast! She looks a little too mature to be a young Cousland, but who cares? The features and expression are perfect!

Mochen, that's amazing. You can see what Nathaniel see's in that picture.

Avatar, we have some creepy parallels going on with our last two toons. That's my favorite hair/facial hair combination, and I am a fan of faded tattoo's blended into the temple or over an eye. Heh.

Again, my apologies, for another possibly off-topic Post, but I read the Nexus Commenting Rules, & it seems to allow only 'feedback', 'criticism', 'feature request', & 'troubleshooting' oriented comments, & i'm concerned that this question doesn't count as any of them, maybe not even 'troubleshooting', so it doesn't seem safe to ask this in the right place: I've Downloaded Pineappletree's Vibrant Colors, (color me Wow'ed!) & I wanna ask if the 'original eye color' replacing this Mod does replaces original eye colors on ALL Characters, or if it does not effect Characters with an original eye color that are already built & in-game? Solona & Pumpkin are already done & in-game, & if this Mod will tamper with their eye color, it might break their design.

& Wyldsong: Many thanks for the Nexus Character Creator Tips & Tricks info! But I need assistance at getting it to work. All of the File Formats that keep downloading from any Link won't quit being some wierdo file type called '7z' & I can't get any of my programs to recognize it. I tried the Up-to-date one 1st, then the PDF 2nd, (My Adobe Acrobat Reader couldn't read it.) & Notepad last. (It reads the File as gobbledegook.) Do I need to change the type of File this save as, if I even can?

(I hope i'm not getting annoying, but I wanna try to save Tayo. *puppy dog eyes*)

Yes, it will most likely alter your characters. I haven't used the base eye colors in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it overwrites many if not all of them, which will effect any current characters you have made and played with.

Earlier on I posted how to swap a characters features midgame with a few button presses, so if you want to use the mod (And you should ,it's up there with DA:Redesigned and IA imo) you can redo those characters to get the proper colors you want.

@ Petehog at most you called it on Elethea, though I used a masa/fema texture blend and a eye texture from the wolf pack of face tat mod

@ Caladhiel Thanks, glad you approve. Also I was actually going for an older more mature look for Elethea considering she was the Teyrna at the point in time that I based her from.

@ Swoo Well I suppose all I can say is great minds think alike lol. I am more partial to the faded or weathered looking tats for certain. Fuller and bold colors look too fresh, tattoos age. With that being said though I like Valenna's tat as it is Mochen.

 Woah, delayed reply, haha!

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I took Tyrax's advice, and I think she looks a lot better now (although they are subtle changes, her chin doesn't look as pointy, heh):

I tried going for a youthful, almost innocent look with Moira, yet in this case looks are deceiving. I play her as a fiery, sarcastic, and bloodthirsty young Cousland. The scar on her face was probably given to her after venturing outside of the protection of her home some years ago. Either way, I found it to be a nice contrast to her petite features! ^_^

@ Sailorsaturnz: The improvements look good from what I can tell, although you might consider posting images of your Cousland where she isn't covered in blood :P

@ Mochen: I'd have to say that Joran is one my favorite character designs I've seen on this forum thus far. He's just so rugged and...well...awesome! Haha.


Thanks so much to everyone who gave me input on the elf.

@ Y.H.: I took your advice on her chin (I played around with her jaw too, but I ended up preferring the "v-shape").

Some override files will override source material and affect things already in game.  If the mod has a chargenmorph file, or says it's for toolset use only, then it shouldn't affect your toons.  I've had toons made before I used Pineappletree's and saw no changes.  As long as the file doesn't override a core file, then you shouldn't have a problem.  An example I can give you is for some of the freckle mods you'll see.  Some of those are written to overwrite core tat files, and that can mess with what you see in game.  I usually just rename those troublesome files and access them via the toolset.

As for any of my guides, they all were zipped up tight using 7 zip.  It's freeware and good to use for zip files of all types:  http://www.7-zip.org/

Try opening it with 7 Zip, and then PM me if that still doesn't work.

find a program called 7-zip (file manager), that's probably what you're looking for. it should be free.

blar, darn you Wyldsong, beat me to it :P

sailorsaturnz: Adorable but Deadly #2! Welcome! :)

Schratty: I can't tell the difference between the 2 versions by eyeball. My Eyes appear to be too low tech. She's still lookin good though.

Wyldsong: Many thanks for both the Mod & Program info! I never knew about 7 zip before. I'm also glad I won't have to worry about buggering up Salona & Pumpkin post-build, perhaps they'll instead get improved! :D Pineappletree's Mod Pics really did drop my Jaw & make me wonder why BioWare didn't manage that kinda stuff.

yasuraka.hakkyou: Sigmur can show off here all she wants, as far as i'm concerned! ^_^
