Choose well, for he (or she) who is chosen shall be...*cue dramatic music*....THE CHAMPION OF THE AETHER!!!!

I like this Altmer. She's old and looks like a true mage.

Me too. Some tough competition here Harry.

She suprised me the most, I also liked the Altmer with the beard and orange eyes.

But naturally my beloved Olfrid will win first prize.

to many choices! by that I mean tough ones.

Also, Hagrid brought up an excellent point. You are all allowed to vote for your own mages. (Not that I could really stop you, anyway )

Agreed here! Not voting for myself, it is very tough. Everyone has great looking mages

I narrowed it down to:

Mikalag: http://oi57.tinypic.com/1iyflv.jpg

Belethiel: http://i.imgur.com/YqbnZzh.jpg?1

The Orc Mage is so unique, to me, but Belethiel's outfit does it for me

(Belethiel also kind of reminds me of a World of http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/101/5/b/Warcraft_Undead_Wallpaper_by_hvsuhdcs.jpg...)

Andralia: http://i.minus.com/ibcKYx7Hag0xwd.jpg

Velacar Worm-Prince: http://puu.sh/6MQqP

deserve honorable mentions, too. Love Andralia's pose and her Psijic Monk robes and Velacar is just... Velacar

Again, great characters, everybody

Excellent, keep thinking that for at least another 30 seconds. Alonzo's Illusion spells come in handy...

I'm going with Velecar.

Forgot to thank you, Michael

That was the look I was going for...

And thanks to Hagrid, too, though I know who you voted for!

Viranie.

Got to give an honorable mention to Mikalag though. Orc mages are a rarity, but the few we meet truly live up to their arcane wisdom.

had a hard time choosing finally got it down to Andaril and Velacar, choose Andaril. His face remind's me of someone. Some very good characters, tough choice.

Only because I thought that other people would vote for their own characters too!

I didn't really think it through. I was thinking only the 12 of us would be voting, but others could certainly stop by and vote, too.

I was seeing a poll with every character getting 1 vote

Ysmirs beard! Viranie looks amazing for an Altmer and a console pic...nicely done

Personally she looks like she reeks of cheap perfume

No offense to her creator but the bright red lipstick and cheek blush is a bad look imo, I would like if she look more refined then that like a grey fox.

I never do. I put mine in and don't look at it again.

Olfrid looks pretty BA, but looks like a warrior more than a mage. Had to vote for Velacar

I have to vote for Velacar something about his pose and summons, it looks like a movie poster.

No offense taken

You should see her without make-up!

I'm glad my joke and comment wasn't received wrong, it's merely my opinion and I'm not fond of makeup on most ladies, especially in Skyrim.

Some women need makeup though, Jennifer Lopez demonstrated that fact in Anaconda

Yea... I'm not a big fan of make-up, especially the plastered on type

I had in mind an old Altmer that was close to Draugr in age and looks. Being old, you gotta have the bright red lipstick. If I could have had purple things, that would have been perfect

Olfrid looks too much like a warrior than a mage. I had to go with Velecar.
