Hi, just reinstalled Oblivion, and I'd prefer to play a male argonian with green skin, on the darker side. I noticed that if you set the age to the 3rd lowest setting, you can have green dominate the upper portion of your face, but it is also really bright, almost neon.

I found this pic online, which is similar to what I have in mind:

Any help is appreciated, and I'd be willing to download a mod if that's what it takes.

Thanks...

just move the colors around and play whit them you can get most colors from that i've made a totally blue argonian once, it looks kinda epic.

Yeah, just mess with the colours. try using the 'dark/light' bar on the face colour section.

If you go into the Tone/Skin menu, there are two skin tint sliders-- one labeled "orange/blue" and one labeled "purple/yellow". If you slide either of those all the way over to the right (to either blue or yellow), then slide the other one all the way to the right, then the first one, then the second one, and keep repeating that, you can manage to push the overall tone more toward blue/yellow (and thus, of a sort, green) and away from red. I've never managed to make the red base tone into a true green, but I can shift it toward a dark bluish tint, and at least eliminate almost all of the red.

Note that when you move a slider, the game moves other sliders on its own. One of the results of that is that, as you push the tint more toward blue and yellow, the dark/light slider will move toward light, creating a painfully glowing skin tone. Just stick with it until you get a tint close to what you want, then move the dark/light slider back to dark. The game will then move both of the tint sliders back a ways, so you might have to work at them again for a bit, but if you keep at it, it will work pretty well.

You also might need to adjust some of the other sliders-- blush in particular-- which will again cause the game to move other sliders, but so long as you keep coming back to those two tint sliders and keep pushing them toward blue and yellow and away from red and purple, you'll at least get something other than red.

That's what I ended up doing.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but good enough. Thanks, guys.

Don't mess with that Argonian.

Watch out if you go into the race menu twice if your an argonian though as I've noticed on the 360 version that argonian's faces tend to collapse upon themselves, which is really annoying as you have to reset your character's face and start from scratch to fix it...

Another thing you might notice is that changing the age to certain spots makes your argonian's face sorta green.

That actually looks really good. Very refreshing.
Big argonian player myself, and his red hue fits his personality too much for me to retcon and change that look.

JovBlackheart, that is one SICK Argonian. Nicely done. I imagine I'll end up creating one, myself. I'm getting to the point where I'm eventually going to erase all my other chars and play solely Argonians. I just love them.

Here, here, brother!

Man - that has to be one of the most unique argonians I've ever seen. Really nice job! Although it may not be what you had in mind, I think he's awesome.

Looks really good, especially the green and black body. I like that much better than the default green and orange look.

Ya thats amazing! How'd you do that? I've tried before but never gotten green/black on my argonians chest. I've only gotten green/black/red.

Wow that actually looks really good. I might give argonians a go sometime soon but I'm more of a khajiit type of guy myself.

Nice, he looks like one scary dude.

:cold: Don't want to run into him in a dark alleyway. The Tank would even be preferable.

Cool character, though.

Also, just wondering. Are you on the PC version of Oblivion? If you are, then there is probably a mod to stop the sliders changing themselves. I haven't checked though as I am on the 360 version.

Nice man, now we must figure how to create a blue argonian..................(loads up character creation)

Awesome, I'm jealous now.

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback, everyone!!

Hey man, Ive been trying to get a similar skin tone of yours for a good long time? Any trick or pattern your using?

Rather than try to explain it, I made you a video tutorial!

^_^ cool!

Nicely done. I think the gold patches on the face make him look like he could be argonian royalty or chief.

Blue isn't actually that hard. Any Argonians I play are stealth based who love water, so I make them all blue. It looks AMAZING.
