I Want a Sexy Argonian Head mesh

[Painbow69]

Alright. This has been bothering me for so long now. I LOVE argonians, their lore, their slick scaly bods, except for their ugly t-rex heads. To my knowledge, there's not a single mod that improves the sex appeal of argonian heads.

 

Yes, I know there's some mods that change argonians to basically "humans with some scales," but to me that's even worse. I WANT the exotic lizardly look, not fuckin humans. There's also some mods that just exasperate the velociraptor look that I don't like.

 

Just look at this:

 

 

Tiny, beady eyes. Wide open like dinner plates (for ants) And also a mouth that opens like a pez-dispenser. Mmmm... sexy? Yeah no, not doin it for me.

 

So how could we improve these lovely lizard heads? Well, I've got some examples from a few artists I really like:

 

Note: I've cropped out the naughty parts and left just the faces, so not distract you guys, ya fuckin pervs. Stay on topic

Notice the EYES. Nice and big, and giving sexy bedroom eyes. And there's some nice cheeks too. Their mouths don't go all the way to the back of their heads.

 

Lets not forget Skygracer:

Again, big beautiful eyes. Eye-lids. Even some cushy lips here and there. CHEEKS! Lizards CAN be sexy! Also notice the expressions. Smiling is much clearer and easy to see.

 

So, fellow degenerates, why can't we have this? What will it take to get a 3d artist over here? The game is nearly a DECADE old and still no sexy lizard head. This is fucking killing me.

You can sculpt that with RaceMenu...

just download HighPoly Head and work...

 

its also cool to use Outfit Studio

I don't know of any mod that gives them bigger eyes, but there are a few eye mods that accentuate them and make them look less like marbles.

Natural Eyes is my favorite. It's being used in the above pic.

 

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I have two retexture mods. I added texture around the eyes that makes them look better.

That's all I've got. I'd love for a better head mesh, the problem is that the people with the skill to make one have absolutely no interest in doing so. and that's a real shame.

Thanks for this. I hadn't seen this before. Not quite what I'd like, but it's actually an improvement for once.

 

I do have quite a lot of experience with nif editing through nifskope and outfit studio. I know and can do quite a bit, but I'm no artist.

 

Also, I've seen and tried out your texture mods! I tried out the smooth one, but just didn't have enough detail for me. I think I may be using the one from the top pic right now.

 

Is there perhaps a way to scale the eyes bigger through nifskope or outfit studio? Kind of like scaling a bone? If I could do that, I could probably pull off the look I'm going for.

You would have to mess around with both the head and eye meshes. In my experience, when you import those meshes into outfit studio, they don't show up in the same place. That will make it harder to get them sized evenly, a lot of trial and error.

I need an adult.

The fundamental problem is what you're asking for is not an argonian at all, you're asking for a my little pony morph with slightly pointier angles, and I can tell you right now no one is going to be interested in doing that much work while retaining expressive morphs without getting paid.

It is almost as if this guide was just added to help people stitch together their own custom head from bits and pieces of other head meshes due to the existence of threads like these.

That's only for headparts, not the heads proper. Headparts are hair and bears and brows and similar, heads itself are a bit trickier than that due to needing .tris for morphs.

 

And you sure as hell ain't getting what the OP wants by just adding stuff to vanilla argonian head.

That's something I wouldn't really want to see, either. Argonians look pretty good as they are. But if people want to beautify them, I'd try to go about that in a way that keeps the "Argonian" look.

 

I've found a picture that would make a pretty good reference for what I'm talking about. To start, one would need to enlarge the eyes just enough to have the volume needed for the right face proportions. Then eyes get recessed into the enough for the eyelids to be fit over them, then shape the eyelids. After that, it's pretty much finished. But one could also extra step of pulling the jaw a bit more forward so that the mouth ends closer to the back or middle of the eyes. That way the head looks less like a pez dispenser. 

 

That being said, it would probably need to be totally rebuilt from scratch. Thought, from my experience with Blender It shouldn't too much hassle, especially since .nif import/export addons exist for blender the existing head mesh can used as a base to sculpt from. But since I've never modded before I don't know how much of an issue it would be to make new .tri files for the expressions since this would be a brand new custom mesh. Then there's the issue of making the new textures for this mesh.

 

Too bad Argonians aren't very popular thot material, despite how meme'd-up the Lusty Argonian Maid is. It's alot of effort for a race nobody really seems to care that much about.

Yayyy, that's exactly that how to Argonians should looks like. ? However, I'm using a Drachis Argonian and Raptor feet and it's not so bad at all. Just a pity that DAM don't works with nude modes, like a SoS.

So I'm a beginner at 3D stuff but I tried to make it more "palpable" pure racemenu and also Flawn's smoother textures still think it could be better but it's a start
