@VirusCat I would say this is one of the most adorable, sexy dwarfess I have ever seen. I love her determined gaze - like she is knowing very well to get what she wants ;P

@mochen & LadyAly- Thanks!

@VirusCat- I know, just making a comparison since character not made via toolset are more prone to be tagged "generic". And I have to agree with tmp; she is working that armor! O.O I don't see anything off with it. Her face looks a bit more fit for a human, but then again... it fits quite well for a dwarf as well. Lovely work.

[VirusCat]

Thanks guys!

I always have trouble with making dwarves look like dwarves :S Any hints?

@ VirusCat - I like your dwarf girl. She is excellent. I have been trying to make a good dwarf now for ages with no success.

I think the reason everyone said your elf man didn't stand out was because I don't think it was clear at the time that he wasn't supposed to. People are used to seeing striking and different ideas on this thread. I think you should have taken that critisism slightly more positively though, after all...isn't that what you were trying to achieve?

If anything, you 'formally announcing' that you aren't going to post anymore after that has probably made people try and say only positive things about any new stuff you post, which isn't very constructive if you ask me.

But keep posting your characters, they are still very pretty and deserving of a place on here

Going by the appearances of Branka and Hespith, it seems the dwarf girls are given somewhat child-like features -- the facial elements (eyes, nose, mouth) located relatively low with eyes at level of ear mid-point, round cheeks, small chin. That's combined with fairly small but flat/wide nose, and lips of normal width.

@meathook
I was mostly trying to get away from the thing about creating chars and not playing them. I don't have time and it's too darn addictive ;D It's not about saying that I'm not happy with the feedback I get, I love this thread. And I love how my Elf looked authentic to you guys. It's unfortunate that I made it look like I was going away 'cause I wasn't happy with the feedback, 'cause that was so not the case.
I do feel that I was clear about my intention with the Elf tho, I stated that I wanted him to fit in, to be the guy next door and look related to Soris and the others. Seems people missed that part

I also felt that I was becoming too much anti the oddness of some chars too, I think the best chars are those that fit into the game, even if they are slightly "unique".

I felt that I needed to ask about constructive critisism on my dwarf now, since it seems like people got the same idea as you did. But I truly love constructive critisism.
I might be good at making dwarves, but I still don't find them dwarven enough!

@mochen
Thankies!

@tmp7704
I'll try something with those guidelines then!

Aeria Cousland, created a long time ago with the character creator, now Warden Commander of Amaranthine and Queen of Ferelden.  She's not modded at all, I like her because she is my first character, I guess I'm biased.

I made a promise about my next post. Ladies and getlemen let me introduce you to ... Hey! Nothing so pompous She's completle ordinary 'Cousland girl'

Wow, the redhead version is EXACTLY what I am planning to do with my 3rd runthru using a female mage!  Excellent!! 

Though, mine will have a devious smirk.  You used the toolset, right?  I'll be using it solely for access to squinty eyes and evil smirk!

So, let's start with my dwarven lady.

As tmp7704 said... if you're trying to make a lore DF, or simply one who doesn't look like a human... then you can't be afraid to toss away human standards of beauty.

It's easier to do that for the DM, and harder to do for the DF, I know.

Play around to see what tweaks would do.  Enlarge the eyes and pupils.  Lower the eyes.  Broaden the nose or make it more puckish.  Try things and see what happens.

[LadyAly]

He looks like Bryan's blue haired brother XD - would like to see him with a front shot.

@mochen - thats a sweetie - I adore you screenies - you have a good hand for that

@Mlai00 = I get a feeling with toolset is all a bit easier and different - I work without cause I think the toolset is so complicated to install and run and work with >.

During one day at work, this thread has grown two pages, I'm hopelessly left behind!

the amazing work, but take a break and play Awakening for gosh

*chuckles*
Thanks! Awakening and registering can wait though, am rather
occupied with work, studies and the 3 meters of snow outside, no time to play anything. 


@Kittrannia
Something makes it hard for me to concentrate on Neria's face, and no, it's not Sten.

@Hututa
Good work on Polgara.The black hair is definately the better hair choice.

@VirusCat
Welcome back, and great work on the dwarf lady! For some reason I could easily imagine her name as Tanya, carrying a pair of pistols and C4 explosives with her... Perhaps it's the headband-like tatoo on the forehead? I dunno, but she's looking good.
About the "not stand out much" -case, well, meathook put down my thoughts better I would have...

[LadyAly]

@Presence - thank you - you are right   thats a pretty good idea 

[VirusCat]

@Presence
Then I hope you read my answer to him too?

@Everyone
Thanks for the replies

Remade Nanica again, made her cheeks rounder, her nose bigger, her eyes got another form (+ they are now lower) and so on.

Here she is and I'm happy with her. Her nose doesn't look that good in pics maybe, but ingame it's cute

[Noir201]

VirusCat, like your mage char that you have as a avatar, might try my hand at creating a new mage later this week.

[Presence]

@VirusCat

yep, I read your response to him.

And your dwarf definately has a more dwarven look to her now.. An improvement, I would say! The nose especially is very dwarven lady-like, it's cute. Love the last pic.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

I personally liked v1 of Nanica, but that's just me. She's still a well-made character.

[VirusCat]

I also prefer her first look out of context, but as a dwarf in DAO I find v.2 to be just so much more fitting

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

I guess it's the nose: bigger noses annoy me. hrmm, might throw a wrench into my eventual dwarf plans. <_<

[VirusCat]

Haha, I know the feeling. I had to get used to it myself xD

Atm I'm trying to create a human male. He looks good in the toolset, but adding him as a preset makes his face really odd Never seen this before :S
Edit: Replacing the morph in the save made him look like I wanted
