Out of these two characters (3 versions) - Which do you like best?

[Guest Vendayn]

Trying to decide which to stick with as a main one to take screenshots of and play Skyrim. I'm not interested in playing more than one character in a game, as I lose interest very fast if I have more than one "main" character. I like alts and all, but I like sticking with one character for the most part. But, can't really decide which of these two characters I like best (a 3rd option for same character, but a different texture/body). Whoever gets the best feedback, I'll stick with. I mostly play Skyrim to take screenshots of my character(s) anyway

 

First is Ariel Auduin. I've played her a long time and she is the base for the other character. Uses a customized Monli race, except vastly different from base Monli. Using Hikari follower as base for body and head textures/meshes

 

And as a warning, expect it to be NSFW. And screenshots are a bit out of order on my photobucket sadly.

 

Ariel Auduin. She is my longest played character (except I've started new games with her). Looks pretty realistic to me, and I've always liked her. She definitely has been one of my favorites I've made. Though before I was using UNPB textures and meshes, but I didn't really like it. Hikari body meshes and textures looks VASTLY better to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next are two versions of Isabella Auduin. Using my Ariel Auduin preset. Different race however. One uses fair skin textures along with Dream Girl body (and I like the body almost as much as hikari)...and one huge plus it comes pre-built with TBBP so no bunch of tweaking needed or messing with TBBP body meshes and what not. Plus the body looks great. Except, I don't really like the textures it comes with. And I'm not so sure if fair skin is my style. However, the face looks great to me. And I love the body. And my friend personally likes this one the best. Though I'll be honest, I like the other two options more as the nipples with these kinda ruin it for me. But...this one is still good. And my friend wanted me to put it as an option as its his favorite and quote "want to see more screenshots :P"

 

fair skin+dream girl version

 

 

 

 

 

Next is the same race, but using hikari body meshes+textures. No TBBP, but does have BBP. And actually, maybe its me...and even my friend pointed it out...but using hikari with this race than my custom monli one actually looks even more realistic. I like this one as much as Ariel Auduin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So...opinions on the 3 of them?

 

From my friends personal comments

 

"number one is maybe most unique, number two is my favorite for some reason, number three looks most realistic and would be a very close 2nd choice. Except looks more typical"

[Guest Vendayn]

Well, since I didn't really get any feedback (it is late though anyway I guess). I went with a few other friends and a couple of my family members that are gamers and aren't weirded out by nudity.

 

After their feedback, the third (for the majority) were their least favorite. They said it was too cliche of a look.

 

The second was liked really well. They liked the face a lot, but the textures were mix/mix.

 

I'll be choosing Ariel Auduin, since she is most unique. Pretty much all my friends and the family I went to really like her. And she is the one I've worked on a long time.

good choice with one

[nutluck]

Personally i liked the first one the most, actually my order of what I liked was 1, 2, 3 in order. Most favorite first one and least favorite last one.

[Guest endgameaddiction]

I like 3rd one. What's up with her eyebrows? Mad clipping.

Same opinion. The 3rd one has weird eyebrows indeed, and they're placed too high.

[Guest Vendayn]

The eyebrows in 3rd one work in-game, but when I do tfc 1 they started clipping for some reason. They also went off her body at one point. Doing tfc 1 on the 3rd one did other weird things too. It didn't do it for the other two, nor the same race with the fair skin. No idea what would cause that lol...probably race doesn't like the body meshes/textures or something. But, it only happened in TFC mode which is weird and only in a certain body/texture combination with the race. No idea lol.

And sometimes they worked, but when I took a screenshot it wasn't the same thing I was looking at. Weird as heck lol.

[Guest endgameaddiction]

Well I still like the 3rd, but I would lower the brows as KJ stated they are a bit too high. However, if that's your taste. I just think it's pretty hard to get people's opinion on things like these because they do tend to be subjective since everyone has differenct opinions and the one that matters is yours. Now pick 3!

[Redflyingmonkey]

I'd go with the 3rd except for the eyebrows and maybe the chin. Imho the start of the brows should never go much higher than the supraorbital foramen, which are the two little holes on top of the eyes, on the nose' side. You can feel your own IRL if you run your finger right under your brows and figure out where exactly they should be. As for the chin I'd lower it a bit since as it is, it makes the whole face too small and too low compared to the forehead. Otherwise yeah, 3rd option, but I prefer more "realistic"/"typical" look so I'm biased. 

[Guest Vendayn]

Dunno why the eyebrows got so bugged last time. I didn't change any files or anything and it just fixed itself. Maybe bodychange did something weird and bugged out on that character.

 

How does character three look now? I changed the nose a bit, and changed the eyebrows to another kind and made the chin a bit longer as it was actually rather too short before.

A lot better and if we are judging only on face then the 3rd one is the best now. I like the first ones body better though.

[Redflyingmonkey]

Number 3 is getting hotter and hotter. I'd personally narrow the eyes a bit there, just one click or two, I think you spaced them when you changed stuff. And maybe lower the brows angle if you have RM (don't know if ECE has that, it's the slider that only moves the angle on the sellion side). And yeah 3rd one definitely, but that's my tastes aight, just saiyan !

[Killing Joke]

Way better like this! My favorite is still #1 but #3 comes close now.

I can narrow the eyes with ECE (I assume you mean they are too far wide apart judging by your next sentence). Sadly, there is literally only two options in ECE as far as eyebrows go. But, with narrowing the eyes a tad (they were actually kind of spaced out), made a big improvement. And attempting to tweak the eyebrows, it might have helped a tad bit there.

[aps16]

My order of preference is 3,1,2. Third one is just......hawt

[seagullmon]

They are all dirty. Literally. I like the 1st one more than the others.

[Guest]

Agree with your buddy - number 2. She's just more interesting to look at. 

[Guest Vendayn]

Since I don't want to make a new thread every time I want to ask for a comparison.

 

What hair style do you like most on my new character?

 

1.

 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

 

 

 

 

3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

or 4. (for those who really really hate the above)

 

ALL THOSE SO UGLY ON HER! FIND NEW HAIR STYLE

 

[Uno]

I take the second option. Alternatively, look for sg hair pack 350, I found some "new" styles that might like you.

[Guest endgameaddiction]

4. ditch those find some more choices.
