I think thats a pretty attractive male Dunmer. I will admit its pretty hard to make a very young looking dark elf, but i think mine is decent :smile:
Rawr!

I admit being disappointed at the Dunmer's appearance, but I guess they're supposed to look cursed.


I like him. He just needs a little more weight.
Eh? I thought he looked more muscled than your usual, which is part of the rawr.

I always thought Dunmer were one of the better looking races, but then I've always had a thing for grumpy looking men :tongue:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Sylph_14/DE.jpg Shame I didn't keep him :(

There are some pretty good looking dunmer men on here, but this is the only one that doesn't have that "I'm going to kill you" look. That isn't easy to pull off, good job.

I'd get rid of the scar and give him the hairstyle I used for my character and he'd look even better.

anyone know why the mer people (pretty much all of them) look so bad in skyrim? I dont remember them looking this bad in oblivion (course, pretty much everyone looked bad, so...) and tbh never played morrowind

Well, I like the way they look. The Dark Elves are really the only mer I'd tweak if I could.

Challenge accepted.
Here we go. All Vanilla. Except the last ones I post. That will be with some mods for comparison. All still have eyebags and brow ridges though. Just higher res faces and hair I think.

This is an edit from my one above. I tried to make it not look evil and I didn't use any makeup or warpaint/tinting/eye shadow...

Well I think my main character is fine enough with being vanilla textures and all. I don't think she would win Tamriel's Next Top Model or anything, but that would have less to do with her killer looks and more to do with her murderous personality, if you get my meaning :D.

Adding on to my earlier post. This time it has a female Dunmer. This one has mods but nothing that eliminates the eye-bags or brow-ridges.

http://folkeye.deviantart.com/art/Totally-Irelyvant-284918084 I attempted handsome since I want to enjoy looking at my characters. He's not half bad :D Just need a better picture so you can see his proper colors! Bummer he's on the PS3 instead of my laptop so I'll give it a go when I can and post again. :)

Ok first eight...

How about her?

She's Vanilla.
Impossible to make good looking males though.

Not, bad, not bad at all.

I always thought my dunmer was pretty handsome even without mods. ^^

http://i.imgur.com/p25HK.png

http://i.imgur.com/sU9V8.png

Runner up for sure, looks like a more manly version of my first attempt

Ok... here's my attempt at making a male one. I used no mods. I tried to make his features seem more Altmer like.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/drakkenfan/ScreenShot967.jpg

Altmer like indeed. Shame I hate those gold skinned bastards.

I always thought Dunmer were one of the better looking races, but then I've always had a thing for grumpy looking men :tongue:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Sylph_14/DE.jpg Shame I didn't keep him :(

Was his daddy a Nord?

He scares me.

Dunmer's my all-time favorite race!!

PS The only mod I'm using is the No More Blocky Face, btw. Nothing else. The effects from the image are from the ENB settings.

First two are my favorite of all in this thread, but, you kind of cheated.

I think thats a pretty attractive male Dunmer. I will admit its pretty hard to make a very young looking dark elf, but i think mine is decent :smile:

He has massive eyes :ermm:

Dunmer should never be pretty. They should scare the average citizen.

I spent more time pimping him than any of my four other characters.

He has a large... chin.

I wonder why they chose to make the dunmer as ugly as they did, I know they were cursed, but that was only red eyes and gray skin.

Like I said once before, trying to make a Dunmer look attractive is like putting lipstick on a pig.
