So what exactly do you have to do to qualify for the list?

The ZevThread list?  Create something inspired/encouraged/influenced by the thread and link to it on the list.

[Nonvita]

Awwwwww Sami those puppets are too cute! I absolutely love them.

Sharing the muse gone mad...

I'm felting finger-puppets of the DA characters and some of the original Wardens.  (trapping me in the house leads to some very odd aftereffects:P)

So, WIP of roughed out (posable!) Archdemon.  Almost no detailing is done at this point.

And now I'm off to finish roughing out the rest of the party.

Oh man, the archdemon should not be this adorable. XDDD

Little tiny Cadryn WIP is cute too, I have utterly no concept of how you're doing this, with all those details and things. XD

It really shouldn't be. Love it!

I'll catch up on the songs that have been added when I'm back from work.

You are on it. So you ought to know.

@ sami, is that felting? kudos for getting it that small!

Still trying to get Tannusen's headmorph to cooperate:



The 3/4 sideshots especially look awesomely "Tannu", but there's still some little things for the front that I'll tweak when my machine can reboot later today and reclaim some RAM, lol. (There's a huge download without resume that won't let me shut down firefox, so my machine is crawling a bit.)

Example, his mouth is supposed to be just a hair too wide, but I think I may have widened it just a hair too much beyond that. Oops. But being able to 3D-ize all these old OC's faces alone is pretty awesome. Hooray Dragon Age~

He's looking great!

The part I bolded seems to be a consistent problem I have with the morph editor (and the character creator, it's all the same engine after all .  Faces that look awesome from the side or 3/4 look damn weird from the front, or vice-versa.  I blame some of it on not being able to position the head (or the camera) very easily in the morph editor, but yeah... definite pet peeve.   Still, Tannu's looking awesome, and if he's looking like you think he should, all the better.

I always end up making my elves anti-androgyny, I fail at elves

[sami jo]

Thanks, guys. Yep- needle felting. The AD will look a bit more...vicious when the details are done. It's hard to make anything that small look scary, though

How is that a fail?

My dwarves always end up looking like they were beaten with the ugly stick.  I unintentionally make the dwarven Ugra every time.

I can't seem to make a male elf without thinking NOOOO HE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL *widens cheekbones* in the end I got my friend Sarah who is queen of toolset to make me an elf mage who is going to be mr. naive (never played a naive character before, I like to play bossy general/leader types in DA) with the instructions to make him look warm and approachable:

[Aroihkin]

Well, in all other settings Alleyana and Tannusen are half-siblings, with Tannu usually 10-14 years younger than Alley, since Alley usually raises him. She's usually in her late 30s/early 40s and he's usually in his mid 20s.

And Tannusen's supposed to be the pretty one. XD

So we have Alley who looks like her face lost a fight with a wall, several times, and then we have a similar bone structure on a guy and he's purdy.

He's also the friendly outgoing one who is usually a serial killer. Whoops!

Kinda been tempted in the last few days to do a shot of both of their DA elf versions together, like back to back or shoulder to shoulder or something. They've only had two whole pictures with them both in them, and in one of those Tannusen was just kind of... bleeding face-down in the corner. But I dunno. XD

I tried making DA Tannusen as a human noble, but this was the closest I could get it:



Which didn't really work. D: D: At all. Stupid round base shape and oh god, the chin. THE CHIN.

Meanwhile, the elf version has already given me an awesome new icon! lulz.

It doesn't look like DA elves are supposed to follow the stereotypes so i wouldn't sweat it. They're supposed to be good looking but that can just mean handsome for the male elves, rather than girl-like pretty.

Yeah, Zev's not androgynous IMO, and he doesn't seem to be considered odd looking.

Aye, plus their body build seems to very much like that of human males -- muscular, barrel chest and all the other bits. Now granted this could be just shortcut in reusing the models fort he base, but even the drawn art makes the guys look pretty masculine. http://dragonage.bio...rs/daelish_elf/ for example.

Well, he's definitely "prettier" than Alistair, who has a squarer, more typically masculine facial structure (not that there's anything wrong with that, at all). But he's certainly not as effeminate/boyish as elves usually tend to be. It's probably his jaw: it's more heavyset than you'd expect on a typical, "girly" elf. I always catch myself thinking that I'd prefer it if he had slightly larger eyes, but the smaller eyes are probably more masculine as well. And they do wonders for his pervy look  

Edit: And yes, his body structure is definitely NOT effeminate.

They aren't that androgynous. You can still distinguish most to be either male or female, at least amongst the NPC:s.

Hmmm, that's the guy I based my Dalish on, oh concept art Dalish, I love thee

This poor little elf is going to be my Leliana romance, not done that yet. I'm thinking a happy go lucky elf mage rather then: a) another Dalish (got 3 in various stages, second favourite origin next to dwarves) and city elf origin doesn't exactly scream "happy go lucky" to me. >.>

*eta*

Zevran is not girly looking. At all.  His facial structure is based on a younger Antonio Banderas, imo!

This is my problem exactly. I also have two characters that have been around in my head for a long time who I've tried making. The female you've all seen--my HN--and her looks turned out quite well, albeit slightly older than she's supposed to be. The male, on the other hand, I cannot get past that goddam chin. When I try to give him a flatter face he ends up looking, I dunno, concave or something. Also older and uglier than he's supposed to be. *sigh* I'm sure I could make him look better as an elf, but that really would feel like an insult to him.

Seconded! Oh, how I wish there were a mod to make Tamlen's head look like him. *starts plotting a head morph to make* But then Tamlen's voice would seem even more annoying, so it's kind of a tradeoff....

Woah, I like this guy. He doesn't have an OMG hot face, but he is warm and approachable, which I think is what you were shooting for. He is very attractive.

I fail at cc or toolset, all my characters look pretty ugly. Or bland. There is no in between.

[Sannox]

That concept art is great. I wish I could play characters who look like that. Look - a dwarf with normal arms! I love her. And the city elf in the bloodied wedding dress, the imperious noble - they're all great.



I can make OK looking male elves, but I can't do male humans at all. Male elves can be made to look quite masculine. Male dwarves are easy - I've only tried one, though.
