Creating an attractive female character. : V

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 4:03 pm

No matter how hard I try, my characters come out looking completely average. They are not ugly, but not envious either. I see a lot of hot female characters here. My question is: How do you guys do it? Are there any tips on getting it right? Should I try to base my design off of a female celebrity to get it right?

It couldn't hurt to have a picture of something similar of what you want to have your character look like. Celebrity photos are the easiest source for that.

I've never enjoyed playing as a character of the opposite gender, so I really can't help. Try moving the camera angle around while you make the character so you can see what she will look like later.

I'm betting a lot of characters being shown on site are modded which means they will look better by default. As to dealing with Vanilla creation, the preset is key. Pick one that you kinda like and then tweak it. The Nose, Cheek Width, Jaw Width, eyes, mouth and chin width/length are key to the build.

Study facial anatomy: it can be quite counter-intuitive.

Made nice looking High-Elf. Definitely does not look like a high elf anymore though.

I am using a lot of texture mods.

Yeah, thanks for those tips. I'll all of that stuff in mind.

Preset 2 female Nord, very slim, very slim face, and you're on your way ... more or less. Check my avatar? (i made some tweaks in the face and thats it)

Um...it's pretty easy with the presets. What race are you trying to use?

Breton.

Oh, [censored]. Nevermind.

That is probably the best female nord preset in my opinion.

It's impossible, for me at least. I don't find any females in Skyrim attractive. Skyrim's character design isn't really... attractive.

I've been all over the place and i've not seen a chick better looking than me, so yeah...

I want to know how to make a character like Muiri. She is a sixy ass breton.

Subjective preference is subjective.

Made my character look a little better.

But only a little.

My Breton, no mods:

Not too crazy about the war paint now that I think about it, but I can just go into the console for that later.

I agree :hubbahubba:

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:00 am

Dark Elves don't look bad.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:28 am

Ironically, I took my picture in the shop where Muiri works :wink:

Wrong game for attractive characters. Skyrim's character creation does a great job of churning out gritty, tough, scarred, and haggard warriors, however I had to fight it for a while to get myself a pretty breton girl.
