My elven female currently looks like this:


I'm not sure how satisfied with her i am, but she's alright!
So I posted pics of Bellanaris about halfway back in this thread but now I'm going to play her again and I'm looking for some constructive feedback. Generally I like the way she turned out last time but I do think there are room for improvements. So, any suggestions?



Well, here are a couple of updates of Alyia, my Elf Mage. I would like to personally thank all the mod experts on these forums who have helped me so much lately with the usage of their mods and advice on how to improve my character. I still have a good bit of work I want to do on her eyes and her complexion (adding a dusting of freckles) but I'm really happy with where this is going so far. These are just some headshots for now. I'll drop a full body shot later once I tweek it bit. I'm really trying to make her look slightly like a half-elf hybrid.

I like everything, but the hair. I think you could go with other white hair option, the one where the eyebrows are more natural color.
These are too much for this hair color.
Hmm... you make a good point. For RP reasons, Alyia was a redhead but lemme see what I can do to fix this a bit. Thanks!
@lastpatriot
Sorry, dear!)I somehow did multi quote when I was not going to)) it was about @wintermoons white haired girl))
Your redhead is beautiful) and her haircolor suits her))
But as u mentioned it, the eyebrows look a bit like they are tattooed)
I feel a bit evil now, but pls don't mind me saying it. Its just my humble opinion.
I do agree with you that the white eyebrows can be a bit jarring. I wish we could do bright white hair and black eyebrows like Fenris instead of just grey hair and black eyebrows. Or that the hair color and brow color sliders were independent. But i'll definitely give it another look.
Oh what the heck.
Here's my Lavellan mage (non-modded)!

This is my darling Ellana Lavellan, assassin archer ![]()

And there are my elven inquisitors ![]()
Greta Lavellan - first inquisitor I made and played.
SPOILER ALERT!
END OF SPOILER
Of course she had to end up with Cullen as her romance choice
(in DA:O I was disappointed I couldn't romance him as my Mage Warden)



&
Aello Lavellan - decided to play as elven mage once again (simply) cause there was no chance I will miss opportunity to romance Solas! He's so awesome
As you can see she looks very natural (almost no make up) and actually that's how I imagine canon of elven woman beauty (pale skin, small and straight nose, natural and feminine look, hair colour doesn't matter actually).



It took me forever to create an elf with proper proportions so she didn't look deformed in certain cut scenes. I just kept rolling and re-rolling. It was always "her forehead's too big," "her eyes are too small," "her cheekbones are too puffy," "her face is too long for her body," etc.
Finally got a PC character who looks good enough to fit in with the other unique characters. Her features rarely become deformed or exaggerated in cut scenes, so I'm happy. The only issue I have is that the lighting creates some REALLY noticeable differences in her eyeshadow.
Modeled "Erawen" after the idea of Snow Elves in Skyrim:
In this scene, my previous elves suffered from "derp" face. Finally got one where the PC doesn't look too bad:
Another scene where most characters I created suffered the "derp" face. Not so much here:
Toned her cheekbones down in CC so they aren't exaggerated in cut scenes when she smiles:
Some other shots of Erawen strutting her stuff:
Spoiler
Yes, I'm a very critical person.

Not sure if I've posted these yet, but here's two that I'm pretty proud of:
Ellana:

Lyna:

I think my elven inquisitors are really pretty ![]()
Here are my favorite screenshots

Here's Era

Aravel





Terra
I think it's entirely possible to create an attractive and fierce character but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder
