Thank you very much for the response I really appreciate it and I've had my miqo since 1.0 so she is quite different, also the coat is the Kirimu Coat Dyed Pure White. :)

It's possible I could be biased, but personally I favor the the darker aesthetics of the Xaela for that particular character. She feels very unified with a coherent theme to her appearance. Also, I notice the image URL for those last couple images are the same so I can't comment on your second question.

So there's something that's been on my mind lately and I'm curious to hear what people think. I don't plan to change my race, but for a long time I've been conflicted about my character's skin tone which I had adjusted on a couple occasions already. At a certain point I decided to try thinking outside to box. I started experimenting with grey hues rather than the more natural coloring that I've had thus far and was pleasantly surprised. I don't dislike her current appearance, but the grey tone does have a certain alluring quality.

I vote Grey, looks great.

@Kathryn, sometimes people take a few days to respond. Personally I like your Au Ra, she is just gorgeous!

@Iromi, it's the Kirimu coat, which is BRD/MCH only. There's a non job locked version, the Uraeus Coat.

@Rixas, I like the light horned version better, they stand out more against the dark character features. For the eyes - looks like the same picture, I can't see a difference.

I like the one with more natural looking skin.

Blah my mistake about the eye color

I've had that exact same issue. I had a more natural skin color but wanted something more unique but I feel like its a bit overdone

I know this should never be a criteria, but..grey is a bit boring as it is very common. Most female Au Ra are either natural but light skinned OR some shade of grey/blueish-grey.
So I always enjoyed it when I stumbled upon a screenshot you posted somewhere :)
Also, as it is a more reddish shade, it makes the darkblue of the scales and eyes pop so much more beautifully ^^

I can see that. For me the reason I keep asking this thread is I feel like my character design isn't really well received. This was my original design http://i.imgur.com/wPlM1xc.jpg
and now I am using
http://i.imgur.com/QPxwTjg.jpg.

Honestly between the two which design do you think is better?

I think your 2nd design is much better, imo of course.
I.e. this one:

Good job.

I've been an Au Ra for about a year and a half now. Getting the itch to change.

I honestly like both, I can see why you are torn. The second one looks more demonish/succubus if that is what you prefer. The first has a warmness to her, probably thanks to the warmer skin and cute hairstyle.

I was messing around in character creation and came up with this midlander and thinking about switching. But I also like my Elezen too, so I don't know.

Hyur is alright, but i like your Elezen more. How about a hairstyle change for Elezen? Or changing appearance to be more drow-like? (skin color wise, with a hairstlye change)
You can mess more with Elezen options, before going Hyur.

I prefer the Au'ra ^^ Why not try a warmer body colour like the one Blueyes used ? It really changes the look of an Au'ra :)

This may be an unsatisfying answer, but..both? I really like both and think they bring out a different side from the character^^
Like Kaelah said, the second one is more demonic looking but both are very charming in different ways :)

I need help from this thread too, btw :p
I had planned all year to go back to Lala for Christmas when the winter sale comes around, but can't decide on a look now x)

http://666kb.com/i/devjhl2vrdi7ol4w0.jpg http://666kb.com/i/devjj0ptlbeo5b18g.jpg

I really like my violet eyes and would like to carry them over to the pretty jewelry-like eyes of the Dunesfolk :o Also just generally like that gentle face.

http://666kb.com/i/devjhyppgx0hee4g0.jpg http://666kb.com/i/devjiv4wguolhxibk.jpg

But I also always wanted to try blue eyes for once, and thought blue and white make for nice winter colors..? The face is a bit more impish but with soft round ears to not make it too mean-looking :eek:

http://666kb.com/i/devk32hp6r2o9o074.jpg http://666kb.com/i/devk2vbdtlq4d65ts.jpg

Or should I just do something completely different this time and go more for a rl look? xD

I prefer the second one; blue/white.

..Not biased at all or anything... :rolleyes:

Thinking myself of going with this look as soon as Starlight Celebration begins.

I would stay highlander but that's probably because I'm really missing Highlander, personally. I'll be going back to my Hyur redhead after Christmas.

I'de stay with the Sexylander, she actually looks very good ! The Au'ra looks very generic (yeah, weird from an Au'ra player but if I had the ability to create sucj a Highlander I would not play Au'ra ^^")

*by the way, if you don't keep the Sexylander can i get your template ? ^^"

Well, since both got exactly the same amount of votes and likes, this didn't help at all xD
I ended up combining #1 and #2 into one and went with face/ears/eyes of #1 and hairstyle/color of #2^^

Thanks everyone! :o

I tried to cut the middle a bit to see if this works

I like her too, <3 Probably because she has the same colouring as my current toon haha. But I wanted some outside opinions in case I was just leaning in her favor because of the similarities. XD

Compiling feedback!

@Evergrey: Thanks for the vote! Was glad to see grey get at least one vote. I went into it believing that grey would be less popular opinion, but at the very least I think I identified to right tone if I were to go down that route.

@Rixas: Choosing between a grey tone or something more natural has been a long debate for me. My original Miqo'te was grey, but ultimately I decided to add more "warmth" to her appearance. Au Ra followed suit, but I've considered looping back around.

@Atoli: Oddly enough, the reddish hue is something I've been trying to stray away from, haha. It was previously more noticeable and my most recent fantasia was an attempt to pull away from that. But I do certainly appreciate the feedback about how her current appearance is less common. :)

@Zumi & Kaelah: Thanks for the feedback! The more natural look does seem to be the more popular opinion, but I wouldn't consider that a disappointment. There's a reason why the natural look is the appearance that I currently use.

Thanks everyone! At least for the time being I don't feel the need to change her current appearance, but I'm going to keep the grey tone on the back burner in case I ever feel compelled to change, even if only temporarily.

Haha thanks for the feedback. :) Honestly I played around with more grayish colours before the blue, but it didn't make the eyes or the white freckles pop as well. :(

(what do I do? D: I have votes for both now LOL)

Go blue, she is cuter ! (even if blue xD) the B one is pretty generic imho :)
plus, the haistyle and colour really matches the skin tone and I'm in love with the little spots (don't know how they are called in english :/ ) on her face !)
