Thanks, and yep, got a shot in that lighting just now. Ugh now I'm thinking i may have more tweaking.

Beautiful update. You did some amazing stuff with the cheeks. Every time I think you've perfected the design you 1up yourself.

I agree.  I like what you have done.  IF you do any further changes, maybe play with the skin color some, just to see what it might do.  Beyond that...I'm not really sure.  I like where it is headed, regardless.

Thank you both very much! I've sat here looking at her letting my inner critic have at it, and she's quieter than I expected...hehe

I think I'll keep her. That skin color will fit her background soon, and though I was upset i couldn't diminish the black eyeline (it's blended in the .mrh but not the .mop) well, maybe thats her littl emo tribute to Tamlen eh?

if you haven't played a Dalish before, wait until you cure Eamon...that's a punch in the heart. < in regards to the emo and tamlen part.

How did you make the hair and tatoo?

Well I didn't make either, both are created by other great community members.

Nero Hair by Raughnut

Warden Tattoo by Nacery

In addition, I used very fine amounts of Scar by PsychoTech to contrast his otherwise handsome face.

To give you a clearer image of the end result, here's Iniko in the toolset:



Thanks for taking interest in the design!

Thanks for sharing it with me.

Oh I bet, I know it was for a HNF. I played a dalish one other time but blurred through the game so fast I barely paid attention, I was just trying out the endings. Wierd gaming habit I have, rush through to see the endings, THEN go through again for the story...lol

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

to elaborate a bit more, going to camp after curing Eamon.



no comments on velanna anyone?

EDIT: Here's a closeup:





Just my practice working with a human female. I think she came out generic, but pretty. Probably won't work on her much more.

Would smash with a vengeance.

Ohhh intrigue...curses, I'm trying to not play her until Kasha finishes both games and her fanfic. Must. maintain. discipline.

[mynineteenthtry]

@Stippling: thanks so much for the advice. The random function has never quite worked so well for me, but a lot of the little things: focusing on one detail at a time, willing to let her be ugly before she's beautiful, etc.; all of that is good to hear.



As promised, here's the first draft of Taes, a human noble rogue who will eventually be an assassin/duelist. For those desiring a little RP background, perhaps I'll get to that once she's finished. .







Its a poor screenshot, I just wanted to get her in game to see how she looked. I made her using the CC, heavily modifying a preset. Future iterations will most likely be attempted via the toolset.



Heavy critiques are appreciated/wanted. I can already see a lot of problems with her chin/mouth. Unsure about the eyes/brow. Any & all feedback is welcomed.



I'll be diving into the toolset now, maybe to play with that scar mod someone plugged a few posts back.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

Lady Jess: must. play. dalish. forever. and. always.

me? a bad influence? never <_<

mynineteenthtry: try fiddling with cheek gaunt / full and chin height a bit. also, a more straight-on pic would help.

@mynine...

Great color combo--very cool and crisp.
I wonder what she might look like with more of an arch to her eyebrows.
Another thing, the tats are the same color as the eyeshadow. I don't know if that was intentional, but it can also play things up. I however, like the darker eye shadow vs. the light eyes. It sets them off.

Hey, mochen... You've probably answered this pages ago, but...where'd you get those locks?

[Aquileo el de Los Pies Ligeros]

My God! Really, really cute characters, I really like Pandora from mochen. I would like to share some pics from mine, but I don't know how to make screenshots from my PS3 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

I got frustrated with the elf, so I tweaked at Kasha again, her face was bothering me, it felt too long and narrow, and in the thumbnail pics it was glaring. So, I made some adjustments. Noww, someone tie my hands together so I leave her alone now.

My suggestions:
1. DL the FDB Skins mod.  It has 2 versions of "high-arched eyebrows."  Use 1 of those on your girl.  The advantage of that is you don't have to put the brows so high to achieve the high-arched effect, which you seem forced to do with the default eyebrows.
2. Raise the nose and mouth up a click.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

mochen: looking at a pic of true Anora, I'd say yours lacks the determined look, and that thinner eyebrows would look better. but seeing as how close the design already is, take that with a grain of salt.

no comments?...pff <_<

@yasuraka.hakkyou: I'll try playing with that. I think version 2.0 will be drastically different in terms of the actual face structure, we'll see. Yay toolset? The next pic will be more straight on for your critiquing/viewing pleasure. .



@Elastic Otter: thanks for the color compliments. I personally love the slightly pale skin with raven hair & grey eyes lately. Its how I imported my female Shephard into ME2, after three rolling playthroughs as a redhead with piercing green eyes. The black tattoo/black eye shadow was intentional, though it might change in future iterations. For now, I like the way it kind of blended into the makeup & out of the eye.



PS. Does anyone know how to get true white tattoos? Bidelle's Make Up Studio claimed to do that (I think), but I never saw white as an option, in either the toolset or in CC.



If I'm lucky, I might post v2.0 of Ms. Taes tonight. Really eager to do a playthrough with her, & thus eager to hear the community's thoughts.

Well in my boredom I decided to read the entire thread from beginning to end. And wow, what an adventure in patience! At any rate, I thought I'd post my top 10 favorites, since this is still "technically" a contest and I thought it'd be cool to share with everyone the most memorable characters I witnessed. Hopefully no one's feelings will get hurt by me saying these are the "best" in my opinion:

10. Piper by Luchaire
9. Daeni by Floydian1973
8. Leon Elsa by Leon Elsa
7. Caliel by Noir201
6. Muradin by VirusCat
5. Yorda by Mlai00
4. Legam by DalishRanger
3. Sinia Tabris by Presence
2. Ichikawa Raizo by DarthMael
1. Mirabelle by Mochen

@ThaneR Sure sure, glad to help!

@Taint Master I'm not sure how to respond to that. On the one hand, I agree with you completely. On the other hand, I'm kind of offended for my fair lady I created. Haha, catch 22 is a ****.

@Lady Jess Hahaha, well thank you. Generic I guess because I didn't try to give her any overly uncommon features. Looks a lot like the other beautiful characters in this thread.

@mynineteenthtry Glad to be of assistance. And your character Taes is looking good man. Keep tweaking her until you're happy with her, and I'm sure we'll all love the finished product.

@mochen I like your Anora a lot, just not as Anora herself. Really cool design. P.S. Edward Norton is amazing.

Edit: With that, I go to sleep. Night everyone.

@Stippling: mind if I pick your brain some while we're both awake?

I was playing with both the main Shape sliders as well as the unique ones, & its really throwing me. Mainly because if I touch any of them, *everything* seems to get affected, & I can't tell when I should be messing with them. I'm playing with the eyes first, since I think they're central, then moving to the jaw/cheeks, then the nose/mouth, then the details. But as I'm playing with the eyes, its like, "oh, you can get more of an almond shape if you touch the Shape 3 slider", but then again ... does that mean I have to be twice as corrective with other features later, etc.?

Just curious as to your take on that, or if it really is "do whatever the crap you want & eventually she's purdy."

EDIT: & nevermind, missed the "sleep" part of your post.  Guess I'll figure it out with trial & error.  ... & I'm fresh out of cigs.  Dammit.  There goes my creative process.

I agree with 9, 6, and of course 1. also with that anora, but not as anora comment.

[ThaneR]

Hmm some opinions...perosnally i dont like the beard color(too red) and the skin color(its too white)...other opinions on this matter?

Modifié par ThaneR, 10 avril 2010 - 07:56 .

[mynineteenthtry]

@ThaneR: I like this. Reminds me of one of the NPCs in Dragon Age Redesigned, but I can't place him. Then again, half of the NPCs in the game have the stubble/long-hair thing going.



The skin looks fine to me; I tend to like pale skin with dark hair for both male & female characters, anyways. I agree that the beard is a bit too red & should match the hair color more closely.



Good lines on the face. Strong but calm.
