By keeping him a Dunmer lol. Brow ridges and all. I have a few more screens right above your post btw. My Dunmer even has the eyebags. I do use Xenius' character enhancement but not the updated versions as of yet. It just really gives better textures and brightens the eyes, maybe too much.

First pick the right http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:SR-race-Dunmer.jpg. My personal choice is usually the second male one from the left on the bottom with the war paint you see on my Dunmer most of them time. The checkered half circles.

The most important part is the eyes. There are only 4-5 eyes to choose from the Dunmer's options that will look good in a more human/familiar way.

Then mess with the various sliders.

Do NOT go overboard with the sliders. Especially for the cheekbones.

Pick the right nose. I believe only about two of them really work well. Same for the mouth.

Make the Jaw and Chin to your specifications.

Pick the topknot hairstyle lol. Looks the best imo.

I also spent a quite a bit of time in character creation experimenting lol.

Decided to compile some of my favorites (well turns out to be quite a few) of my Orc today. Had problems trying to come up with a 'reasonable' number of my favorite favorites but here they are in no particular order (some are reposts and some not)

Wow, great shots. I am just to impatient to take really good ones.

Somehow I always end up playing the same character, a sneaky assassin type, in Elder Scrolls games. I even had a Dunmer with the same basic skills in Daggerfall. I do like how they've improved the character editor since Oblivion, as you can now make men that look like real men, and not children with mumps.

Eleanor, has such a sweet and beautiful expression--you did a great job creating your character! :goodjob:



King Coin, I love your action shots and the armor you're wearing is very NICE! :trophy:

What mod/s did you use to achieve that look? She looks great by the way.

Krok - the acromeglaic Argonian
Shortly before dropping out of classes at the mages college. Had to cheat on the entrance exams; used a potion so I could get enough magicka to pass.

Looks like one of these two:

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2812

Both are waaay too polished for my taste.

Okay, can someone tell me how to get a closeup shot that's that good? Especially with weapons drawn!

Open your console (~), and type "tfc 1" followed by "tm" and then close the console again (~). Now you're free to move the camera around without anybody moving in the mean time.

Yeah I figured as much, but can't figure which one it is. Yeah well its polishy, but I just want to give it a go, and see how it goes from there. :cryvaultboy:

Perhaps you got a tip for a mod for me here, but for most races, the LIPS are just too HUGE, are there any mods fixing this problem at all? It drives me crazy, on that subject, in most cases the eyes are all crazy as well lol

This one sort of makes the lips look somewhat thinner I think. (The 1.1 version)

Really great atmosphere on each of these (my faves out of the bunch).



Heh. As a Legate myself, I thoroughly approve.



Both are great closeups!! Love the level of detail you've got with Revan's character.



Hee! That's pretty great.

Hauling the carriage.

this is Mhyrion:
she's a nord who is mostly happily married to farkas
and I am quickly realizing that he's in 80% of my screenshots..

http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr111/appeloid/ScreenShot337.jpg

I tried to make Mhyrion as pretty/beautiful as possible while retaining a look of purpose (?) and using only some pretty basic mods (unblocky face mod (?))

I gotta try to create some romance when there is none :/
http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr111/appeloid/ScreenShot487.jpg
a silent gaze is all I get :'o

http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr111/appeloid/ScreenShot476.jpg

I hear ya. I have had so many chances at getting these gorgeously romantic shots with Mazurga and Erik, and...all they can do is stand/sit there. Anxiously awaiting the pose mods next year!!

I'm really hoping bethesda will add more meat into the marriage feature in the upcoming DLCs
but yeah, I'm waiting on more mods too :'D

Lol, fav!

My new character.
Some moody high altmer, with some unfinished business in the brotherhood.
