The Dunmer Challenge

Post » Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:26 pm

Ok guys, in light of recent threads... I issue a challenge to any and all capable of taking a screen shot. And the challenge is to make the most attractive Dark Elf you possibly can. Male or Female.

The rules are:

1. Has to be a Dunmer, no cheating with a dark skinned Bosmer.
2. Has to be the VANILLA version. No cheating with mods.
3. If you feel inclined to be humorous and make a hideous mother f'er go ahead, but that's not a challenge now, is it? :tops:

Alright, here's hoping this doesn't get buried. I would start off, but... I'm a console player so unless you want a shifty/crappy ipod photo...

Ready. Set. Go... let's prove the Orcs are still the ugliest race!

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

Not bad. It's a shame you cannot get rid of the eye-bags without modding, though.

I think your character looks very nice, Stigwa. Fierce and strangely compelling. Nice job!

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

Some men like a woman with a good set of eye-bags.

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

I love(d) Dunmer. My one and only character was a dunmer in Oblivion. I hate the fact that they all look old and wrinkled. I don't mind the fact they look wild and aggressive, that's what they're meant to look like. I just hate that you can't make a young Dunmer. :(

Redguards are the best looking race in Skyrim I think.

Thank you. Shame I didn't keep her, had to delete some savegames trying to make it more organized.

I was prepared to not be impressed BUT I have to admit there's a few here that were VERY well done, especially for vanilla. :trophy: :trophy: :trophy:

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.

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 :)

Seeing as I like to RP an egotistical ladies-man my vote (and Judge Rule) declares this one a prominent contender and possible winner. :D

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

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

I'd run! :biggrin: He's a fine specimen of a Dunmer.
