Nice work so far! I'd give the last Dumer a bit more red-ish eyes (more like blood-red that rust-red), but that's my personal opinion only.

I don't see any problem with variation in the eye-color of Dunmer. Or in imperfections in the faces. Everyone has differences in the two sides of their face. Crooked smiles, etc. And as far as eye-color goes, although I personally never weight lore over preference, all I've ever seen in print is "red" eyes. There are so many different shades of red, that really says nothing at all.

Thanks Minamir. :smile:

Elaura, I agree. I'm kind of a lore purist but when it comes to aesthetics, that goes out the window. I'll always take pretty over correct.

Updated!

http://i.imgur.com/eYHm7.jpg looks like it's glowing with life. She looks real practically, except for the polygonal shoulders and her long hair bleeding through her body. hehe Amazing job with that face.
I like http://i.imgur.com/nu63g.jpg too, the way you did the lips and dark eye liner. The nose looks good too.
http://i.imgur.com/74JWV.jpg is my favorite; such realness and life in her whole face. The ears are still white since they are probably part of the hair mesh. I love the bushy thick eye brows. I'm not into the plucked thin supermodel eyebrow style personally. I like all the dark shading around her lips and eyes. The shade and hue of her face doesn't match the shade and hue of her body, though. But other than those tiny issues, your work is astounding!

Your comments make me really happy, thank you for taking the time. It's worth it to do this if even one person finds something enjoyable.

I'm glad you like the Dunmer version of that face and yeah, I didn't do anything to the ears. Going to fix all that up and get it situated before release. As for the body hue, I was told that every replacer changes the Dunmer skin tone. I may release a body skin tone to match my particular faces, but I can't make each face for every possible skin tone. Dunmer was really troublesome for that and a few other reasons, but I think the result was worth it.

Since you like that face so much, what eye colors would you like to choose from? Or other options? I can pretty much convert any of the eyes you've seen in any of my screenshots.

http://i.imgur.com/paqwt.jpg - I lied, we can be supermodels. Teehee.
I absolutely love the bright eyes and mouth on her, this looks excellent!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
http://i.imgur.com/nu63g.jpg - My custom race. Their skin is pale enough that any face I make for them can be converted to another race with minimal effort. This will probably be my new main, I'm in love with her <3
http://i.imgur.com/B9J1x.jpg Some eye color variants.
I love this face, too, it's got to be my favorite so far. She puts me in mind of Lizbeth from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Which is a compliment. :biggrin: I like the green eyes from the eye color varient pictures the best.

Green will definitely be in the release, it's my favorite too. I'm so thrilled that you and other talented modders like my work. It's really inspiring me to learn all kinds of things I never would've even attempted before. >_< wee

Mel, if you can get the skin tone as close as possible to the body replacer you use, you can then release the heads as "Best if used with . . ."

However, though a lot of people use better bodies right out of the box, so to speak, there are enough body re-texs out now, that you'd never be able to match them (so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you).

Just keep in mind that no matter how hard someone tries to protect her face, it will always be *darker* toned than her body without makeup. Unless a woman is born and raised in a nudist colony, her face will always be just a little more exposed to the sun than what is always covered with clothing.

Is this terrible? http://i.imgur.com/QSbrE.jpg
It's the same adjustment just in different light. I haven't finished tweaking the face yet, but yeah.. too much change? Not enough? Bad change? Good change? :biggrin:

Reason being, I really just have default BB. So mine is bright green. I could go hunt down all the others and see what they look like if you think it'd be prudent.

:ooo: Woah! That just HAS to be your best face yet (And you've made alot of beautiful faces!) I would simply suggest making the mouth slightly less crooked, and making the eyes slightly redder (And maybe adding a red glowmap to them :happy:)

*looks at custom race pics (nu63g), jaw drops*
That picture almost had me drooling on my keyboard. :drool: :bonk: :wub:

You are a true artist. This just keeps getting better and better. :goodjob: :bowdown:

http://i.imgur.com/7mJYw.jpg - Won't be to everyone's taste. I myself love pale, delicate beauty. Have to refine this one a bit also.

http://i.imgur.com/eYHm7.jpg - We can't all be supermodels. Variety is a good thing, though!

Wow, these two are really striking and really memorable. They have lots of character.

Wow, guys, thank you so much. Waswar, I agree with all your suggestions. This mouth is extremely troublesome, though, and I'm not sure why. This is my best effort to fix it and add the changes you mentioned: http://i.imgur.com/BG0t0.jpg

Callidus, thank you, but I assure you I am no artist. I'm one of the best copy and pasters around, perhaps. :P Nonetheless I'm thrilled you like my work.

Thank you again, Simbelmyne. You always have such nice things to say.

With all that being said, updated with this latest Dunmer.

http://i.imgur.com/BG0t0.jpg - Would like opinions on this. I can dial back the glowmapping on the eyes if it's too bright. Also, do colored lips or dark lips look better? Let me know!

I personally prefer the dark lips but it would be nice to have both as an option. The glowmapping looks great.

I think the lighter lips look better, but agree with Simbelmyne about having both as an option.
