I didn't spend a lot of time in the cc, wanted to get playing. However, this is my first character, a female Nord battlemage named Veleda Bructeris (after the Germanic seeress mentioned in Tacitus' Germania):
After several hours of playing around with the sliders and recording their settings for tweaking, I believe my beloved Sarah looks as good as she's going to get without the CK and is finally ready to begin her adventure!
Btw, this thread is great, really interesting to see others' creations. I'll have to try and post my smooth-talking Imperial Rogue/Bard, too.. (crappy 360-TV-quality pics warning!)
It's my first Nord EVER. I doubted a long time if I wanted to go for a Dark Elf which I usually do however I decided to try something new for a change...
I think it's funny how it looks much more easy to make a decent looking female character than male. Also anyone else noticed that most women ingame are much more goodlooking compared to the men? I must say the character menu was a huge let down I don't understand why they removed so many features? I feel like I opened up the showracemenu a 1000 times already to tweak my character. However the body option is a huge + also I must say that the characters visually made huge progress compared to morrowind and oblivion in which I sometimes felt they were a bit neglected.
