Wow! Loxley is absolutely stunning! Agree with the comment about the eyes on the first screenshot! Best man I've seen in this thread IMO! I also hate him because he reminds me of someone! Wish I could go stabby on him while thinking about how good he looks!
Oh, I know! Make him into a Redesigned Loghain! I wanna ogle at him while cutting his head off!!
Because of the lack of origins for older humans, I've been completely neglecting older human head morphs! My first chara was your chara's age, and frankly looked better than my final version, but I had to puppify him after I found out young Cousland's age in his origin.
Ah well, when I eventually play Awakening I'll be able to make an older man!
Misha reminds me of a Sister of Battle, with that tattoo! Ha, now if I ever play a FHN, I'm giving her white Sister hair and a flaming mace! Where do you get that tattoo?
@ My19try:
The Morrigan hair is clipping into your Portman's cheekbones. As for Morrigan herself... do what I did and just give Mora a different hairstyle in-game, and then your chara is unique! I gave her the popular Elvira hair.
@ Lady Aly:
2nd version looks much more determined and confident.
@ Prescence:
I specifically want her eyes MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

My problem with her is that she looks "unkempt". It's a combination of the hair, the faint tattoo, the scar, and the black eyes. Makes her look like an Orlesian street rogue.
Ofc there's plenty of those in the Grey Warden Order.
@ Raggs:
Zathrian = Err... I didn't order any strippers?
Sten = She is the Grey Warden.
Zathrian = And how may I address you?
Sten = Sten.
Zathrian = Silk?
Sten = STEN.

I might switch up Morrigan's hair, might not. Honestly don't mind the resemblance that much. I'll see once I meet her if the resemblance is too similar.
&. May I ask if "my" Portman does a half-decent job of interpreting her looks & making them my own? I know she's on her way to being aesthetically solid, just curious how present the influences are for a different pair of eyes, if that makes sense.

@Mynine - I like Taes so far. Scary thing is, I keep having dejavu when I see her face...like I have seen that face IRL...freaky. In the More Hair Styles folder, btw, you can more short cropped pixie style haircuts if that is what you prefer. Check it out.
@LadyAly - I really like the hairstyle and the color of it. Only thing I think of for you to try, and I don't know how this would turn out, is to maybe make the cheeks a tad more gaunt, and let the cheekbones show up just a tad more. Nothing too extreme. But, looking good regardless.
@Capar - Wow, she has been through the wringer. Definitely cute in that, "I will so kick your ****" kind of way.
@Erica - Remember, the less armor you have, the better the protection! That actually reminds of an anime called Queen's Blade...

No way Morrigan would allow someone else in the party to have the exact same hair as her, lmao. Either she'd change her own hair, or she'd burn the Warden's hair off "by accident."
As for the Portman/Knightly look... check out Capar's Myhoney above. Those are the jaws you're looking for...?

Well he's not supposed to look 'old' but I did alter his morph a bit between origins and awakening to make him look more grizzled and mature, and as a result he's got a more 'marked' face, I'm pretty happy with the result.Mlai00 wrote...

The tatoo on Misha was of course shamelessly ripped off of WH40k's sororitas, I made it myself specifically for the character, I don't think it's worthy of a being put on the nexus (took a whooping 30 seconds to create, but maybe if I make more in the future I could make a pack) but if you want to try it, there you go.
I considered the white hair too but it didn't fit my idea of the character, it still looks badass though.
@ThaneR
The dark-hair w/ green eyes is unusual and unique, he's got a somewhat pretty-boy look to him, probably because of the very smooth skin (the strong lighting may increase that effect, too). If I had one complaint though it's the lips, I don't know if it's the angle of the angle of the screenshot or what but his lower-lip looks a bit too fat, especially when compared to the upper lip. It doesn't show on the portrait though so it can't be too drastic (you may want to twitch that portrait by the way, black background and default angles ? come on, your PC is not a nameless NPC who is about to be killed off

Both of these have the EXACT SAME facial structure, etc. The only difference is in the hair. I'm pretty satisfied with the face: I think I fixed the wide jaw but maintained the look I wanted, the eyes have been tweaked slightly, the hair clipping has been fixed, & a few other tiny things have been brushed up.
The only problem is, I somewhat accidentally discovered the unique shaved look for her, & I'm honestly torn between the two. I know it might fly a bit in the face of her backstory (would the secondborn Cousland really get away with a tattoo *&* ridding herself of her noble locks?), but I almost like it. I think it brings out her features far better than the other cut.
I've tried a few other of the pixie cuts in the More Hairstyles mod, none quite fit right. The closest being the shaggy cut with the loose side ponytail, but its such a bulky hair style, too much body. Nothing short cropped exists. Yet, anyways.
At any rate: just for kicks, I thought I'd toss it to the community (might as well, on this lazy Saturday afternoon): which do you like better/why? & as always: any further critiques/observations on Taes? I think she's just about ready to go be backstabby.

I'm including these two because I am looking into possibly adding presets for them for everyone to use. A lot of people have asked for them, as “hacking save-games” doesn’t work in the Fade and a preset might work better.
Nevertheless, I am surprised I never placed these two in here. Because these are presets, they don’t quite look as good as the originals. (the nose is not quite right)
Morrigan Version 15 was one of the most difficult designs for me to do because she was designed after a real person, Victoria Johnson.
By the way..darkkami is not me. If you read back, I mention darkkami before the Mochen clone drama happened.
Before the storm
He is a graphic designer at Blizzard . We are very good friends.

Hey, I think you got the jaw right this time. Still somewhat wide and square, as you intended but it looks fitting now.
Aestethically I prefer the Morrigan hair version, quite obviously, but you're right, the shaved hair does make her face stand out more. Maybe she could shave her head after the events at Ostagar so as not to be recognized. Or maybe she's just jealous of Morrigan.
@Caparzofpc
Hey, I like her, beautiful yet she seems to have a saddness in her eyes, you can tell she's seen her share of battles. There's always one thing that has bothered me with this scar, though, it looks like you couldn't possibly receive a wound like that and keep your eye. But regardelss, scars look badass. Nice work.

@ nineteenthtry - The new version is good, she is starting to look very tough. I'm guessing you wern't going for super-feminine looks though? hehe
@ Petehog - Hello again, with you and presence both providing presets, now I'm thinking I'd like to do the same. Yes darkkami did get rather emotional about 'the storm' I'd guessed he must know you somehow.

@_Loc_N_lol_: thanks, I think I got the jaw right, too. I agree that using Morrigan's pixie cut is the more pretty/feminine approach, but there is just something about the Evey concept that is drawing me. Its like putting hair on her detracts from the features or something. Weird.
@mochen: thanks. Seems as if you're one of the respected folks around here, right?
EDIT:
@ThaneR: personally, I'm drawn the violet eyes, but I dunno if the shade you've got is necessarily the right one. I'd want something deeper & darker in color in the violet family. It'd give him a lot of strength.

@loc_n_lol the freckles are PERFECT! I think it's necessary. I've been digging freckles lately, in my creations. The fleur de lis tattoo on your other char, by the way, makes her all the more stunning. By far one of the most realistically good looking characters I've seen! That hair style is always a struggle for me, but you pull it off like a pro.
@nineteenth you know I'm just going to say the baldie is the best because I'm biased, but she does have an edgy look for a Cousland and it's pretty good looking

@mochen: thanks. Seems as if you're one of the respected folks around here, right?. I know the shaved head thing isn't particularly "feminine", but on the whole I modeled a lot of Taes after Natalie Portman, probably one of the more gorgeous women I've ever seen. As for whether I did a good job or not ... well, that's one of the reasons I'm posting here. You tell me.
Now that you mention it, I can see some of Natalie Portman in her. The only advice I might offer is perhaps 'squash' her face a bit more? Raise her nose, mouth and chin a bit. It might make her face seem a bit more petite?
I've been around on here for quite a while now and posted a lot of designs...not sure if that makes me 'respected' though! hehe.

Argh, Sazuka's facial structure was what I was trying to plagiarize (along with Yorda's), but couldn't manage! Maybe it's because I was using the elf female base. Oh well.
@My19:
I'd say go for the shaved look for Taen Cousland. It's not everyday that a female can pull off that look. Don't be the 99999th player to copy the Mora haircut!
@ Lady Jess:
Oh, ha, at least you got a new eyeliner out of it!
