Post Pictures of Your Benchmark Character

[Darlingchan]

I approve. I kinda like the one on the right.


I am curious to know why so many of you guys are still working on character design? Didn't you start in P4? Will you be using the fantasia from paying first month sub fees?

Thanks for the feedback!

And yeah haha planning on using the Fantasia, though I might just make a few changes to my lalafell instead since Foxer isn't a big fan of the other male models in the game and we want to match. It sucks we can't see the benchmark characters in game right now though ><

She's a female. She can't make up her mind so I make it for her. She'll be rolling Lala.

First is my current Highlander.

Second is the Miqo'te I keep flirting with changing to. (grass is always greener, etc)

Changing to miqo'te is the worst decision you can make.

I like the Highlander better.

Seeing these on the forum makes it pretty obvious that I need to scale back the cheek tattoo color. I'm guessing most people will choose the top; it seems a bit generic though, compared to the others.

I don't think generic means what you think it means but yes you don't use the same color blush on 3 different skin tones so first thing to change is #1 and #3 blush color. I like the #2 (and you could keep the blush if you like it darker this way but the best blush colors are really the ones that unfortunately don't show up in-game in any appreciable manner except to the person that put it there and knows it's the right color) but there is a problem with the overall color scheme. The right eye is orange, the hair is ~rust-orange, the blush is orange, the highlights are ~red-orange and the lips are ~brown-orange. This is what creates the "washed out" look referred to on the previous page. If you are set on the hair color and like the blush then imo both eyes need to be blue and the lips need to be red or natural while the highlights probably need to be brown if the lips are red. This might also work for #1 but for #3 Id really have to play with it in the creator myself as the darker skin tones are just a bit.. off, although dark reds and purples are usually safe choice. Something you can also try on #2 and #3 is using white or grey eyeshadow on the light setting to create more lightness around the eyes. This a real-life technique that again will probably not be appreciable to anyone else that isn't viewing a side-by-side of with/without.

Miight go miqote afterall

Any thoughts on the eyecolor?

I like the darker eye color, somehow it makes her look more intelligent, not sure how maybe I'm jusy crazy XD.

First is my current Highlander.
Second is the Miqo'te I keep flirting with changing to. (grass is always greener, etc)

If you don't have any nitpicks with the highlander animations I would stick with her, she's very BA and I'm a big fan of the natural look you have and additionally pulled off well with the blonde hair and blue eyes.

I can't really find a hair color that I like better than the one posted, though I've since changed the highlights to be a lighter shade than the rest of the hair. I would like to maintain the heterochromia/scar combo, but I'll check some of the shades adjacent to the orange and see what I can find. I'm not dead set on the blush or the lip shade; I'll try your suggestions in those categories.
