It's the "post pictures of your inquisitor" thread.
The ignore feature is a wonderful tool. Here, let me show you how it works...........
Yea but most people show the same character one time maybe twice for updates, not as many times as you do! we understand you love your on character now move along please for crying out loud.

I made a few errors in my dialogue options and ended up restarting. This is Jasper Cadash:
Spoiler
She has the perfect lips.
More like a freak, have nightmare of that ugly elf :\
Don't be hating. I like his elf, actually. I think it's a nightmare, but an attractive one.
She has the perfect lips.
Why thank you.

Haters gonna hate. 
female dwarf warrior!
I wanted to do a qunari lady first, but I got fed up trying to make one that I liked so I ended up being a human...sigh. There have been some really nice qunari. One of these days I'll succeed at making one.
I seem to have trouble making a good female elf anyone have any advice
Anyone got any clue if there are any plans to improve Qunari at all? Right now they look like weird human with horns, with way too small heads for their big (male) bodies
You guys got heads that are to tiny, and my male elf has a head to big. Trade?
My first playthrough character, Qunari mage:
That qunari is really handsome. Good job! Maybe when I progress further in the game I'll post pics of my qunari mage, wich is on my avatar.

Honestly, look at pictures of real people!
When I was making my elf girl, it helped me immensely to use this as reference:
Did she end up actually looking like that? NOT EVEN CLOSE, LOL. But it does help to sort of have a reference to keep things more "realistic" and not get too wonky.
My prettyelf. Yeah, I like pretty guys. :] I tried to make him look unique.

This basically if you want to make a regular pretty face.
Making a proportionate and realistic face though is a different story. You need to understand basic facial proportions otherwise your character will look cartoonish and bland to someone with a trained eye. Being 90-95% accurate to a face ref isn’t that bad when that happens. Also googling what the basic human face proportions are and using that as a guideline wouldn't be a bad idea.
Another tip: when you're struggling spice things up by playing around with the hair, skin tones and eye brows. Making sure all those fit together like a puzzle piece is what will make or break your character into something more unique. I think it was the eyebrows, matched with the dark skin tone and violet eyes that really pulled off my mage qunari to make him work.
And do the makeup, scars, and tattoos last when everything else is finished. Those features are distracting in the start.
I like to take one of the defaults that I generally like, and remove all scars/tattoos/makeup first. Then it becomes easier to change the small details. I also very rarely mess with things like nose, jawline or eye position. Otherwise, it looks like horrible rhinoplasty while also being cross-eyed. My poor first Shepard can attest to this.

What type of elf face are you trying to make? Personally, I've found it easiest to make longer faces using the face shape located 2nd from the left (that face shape is also good if you want a pointier chin, and you can still move the jaw/chin up if you want a shorter face with a pointy chin). For more heart-shaped faces, I go with the farthest right face shape option. As BaroqueOut mentioned, using photos can help you adjust the face so that it looks more realistic.
Here's an example of a more heart-shaped face I made
And here's a longer one
@Herkles If it makes you feel any better, elves were the hardest for me to make. It took five tries to create this:
Give me a dwarf, a human or a Qunari, and I can do something with it right away. Elves were driving me up a wall. This is actually a default with only some minor tweaks to the eyes, lips, makeup (I can give some tips to avoid green lips and such,) cheekbones, (more gaunt and high) and a slight increase of the nose and nostril size.
Another Dalish elf I made, again, scars from childhood. Tattooed and not used to humans.
One more picture of this same elf in less ghoulish lighting. With her, I wanted to have more 'elf-like' features whereas my first elf in an earlier post, had more human features. Hopefully making some progress (and I'll finally get to play the game thoroughly. -__-) This is Edea, my mage.

Go crazy with all of the features. Crazy big/small eyes, ears, fivehead...all that. Know the extremes then dial it back then dial it in.
I myself find beauty in subtlety and in imperfection. Have a theme or back story. After all, you are The Avatar that fell from The Rift...you a meant to lead the Inquisition and unite all of the opposed groups.
What does that look like?
Or...you can just make a female with really big boobs...whatever floats you boat. 
Here is my inquisitor, Cara Trevelyan. Took me two goes to get her looks right, but now I'm proud of how she turned out!
Stunning really. A purposeful and passionate persona. Very nice!
