Goddammit Bethesda why must you make elven facial expressions so unappealing?!

Not unappealing, but hard to draw propely when your character is supposed to be just 16 y

All things aside i think the work is amazing. An elf with a sense of humor in skyrim, ha thats something you don't see all that much.

I have the ethernal elven thing right now, but I don't want to mod too much so they lose their elven traits. It's hard yes, but I like it that way XD
The younger females look interesting, they look younger without looking...dolly

Blisterwort's really lovely, in my honest opinion! ^_^
People can say what they will about the elves, but I think they look really, really cool; and she especially looks kick-ass (her eyes, for instance ).

And this is coming from someone who usually plays a Nord in Skyrim; primarily because I feel it's only appropriate that Dovahkiin's a Nord, as silly as that may seem. xP

Thank you I really liked how they potrayed the elves in skyrim, not just the stereotype "fair and beautiful". Blisterwort is actually an half elf, Altmer/Nord and got both looks from both races. But later I was told that according to the lore, she either have to be (in looks) a nord or altmer. No mix. I was a little dissapointed.

When I first played skyrim, I started out as a Khajiit

And... though I may get stoned for saying it... elven features in Skyrim are HORRIBLE! I'm sorry, they really are. I'm not sure why the artists wanted to go for an Area 51 look for elves but they really did. I can't stand them but then, I'm a bit of a Tolkien purist.

It doesn't matter when you love your character and their story. It's just always been an obstacle for me playing one in the game. I don't care about "pretty" I just don't want them to look like they've stepped off of a UFO.

that's just me. I'm sayin' I wouldn't draw her like that either. XD

The Skyrim Team I think wanted to try and get away from the whole 'Humans with pointy Ears' Stereyotype, it takes a bit of effort but a good looking Elf is possible.

When I think about it, you're right about the elves looks like aliens. hahaha I think they wanted to try something new with elves than just the usual "fair and beautiful" stereotype, and I like that. I grew up with Tolkien and the elves from his books, but that shouldn't stop people from trying something different. Like the Area 51 look. hehehe I think if elves looked the same in every game/book/movie, it would be quite boring.

I appreciate your comment and respect your opinion. (because that means I won't be stoned from your part if Blisterwort doesn't look like a proper altmer hahaha)

Yeah. I respect them for trying something different. I just wish it had turned out as something I could tolerate through my eye-holes. ;-P It's all good. I've not played the other ES games so for all I know, this fits the lore perfectly.

It's all about taste.

Thanks for your understanding reply. XD

This game is amazing!

You're welcome

if you study the lore a bit, especially with the altmer race you'll see they are trying to breed the best altmer. (cough inbred cough) silly elves

Oh that little bit I know about. That is very much in keeping with their... crappy outlook on life. I mean this of the Powers of Altmeri Dominion and the Thalmor. I don't see all of the High Elves in that light. Those two things are political powers where individual high elves can't help it if that government is completely MESSED UP. I'm sure that a lot of Altmeri who have been deemed, "unworthy" who would agree.

That fact is at the centre of how I think the Dragonborn could actually start a civil war withing the Dominion and win the war in the long-run.

Tee hee - yeah my mind is a weird but politically stimulated place.

Thanks again. Keep it up!

Yes, the Thu'um would give her/him the advantage the Dragonborn needed, plus being alied with the dragons would surely startle the Dominion XD

I'm not mocking it, i am correcting it, and i already made my argument
elfes are generic, they are in EVERY fantasy game, and they are basically humans with a long face and long ears

compare elves from skyrim with elves from LOTR, sweetheart. I understand what you mean, but that doesn't mean I want them to look like they are filled with plastic. Admit it, they got too much "shine" on those beauty mods, it looks like someone poured gasoline or oil on them and forgot to set them on fire

don't use the beauty mods, use the body individual mods, they are not exactly silky and smooth

it's only the hole body mods that make them looks like they came straight from redtube

ya have to find them yourself, they are detail enhancing mods, that do not prettify it, besides adding detail, and removing that ugly blocky look of the head and body.
It smooths out the meshes (the building lines) and makes it look, well, better
