show your au ra!

How do you screenshot with the benchmark?

You just print screen and it should be on you clip board to paste it into an art program or paint. Alt+print screen will keep it to your active window.

All Programs > Accessories > Snipping tool.

Just run the benchmark in boarderless window mode and be ready to hit the 'New' in the Snipping Tool program, Click and drag the cursor over the area you want to take a picture of, or alternatively use the 'Full-screen Snip' option in the drop down menu next to the 'New' button :)

Orange limbal ring with purple center
This is probably the first time I have used the default hair specifically (but that's because it looks really really good and doesn't clip too hard)
Also reddish toned skin for Xeala looks really good imo, was originally just messing with red skin tones to make it look like someone from another game and went "Well that looks better than expected." and kept the skin colour.

All the male Xaela have black sclera. The female Xaela and both genders of the Raen have the usual white.

Chocolate! The colors just mix beautifully.

Holy friggin gorgeous, batman!

Just had a real quick play about and came up with this what do you think?

http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/...psewfa9ckq.jpg

The "whites" for the male Au Ra are not actually black, but they do appear darker than the female's. Based on what I can tell by panning around, zooming in and spinning the character is that it is mostly from lighting and shadowing. The males have much more pronounced brow ridges as well as more recessed eyes. Because of this, the eyes are more in shadow all the time and appear darker, although the limbal rings themselves "glow" and so stand out, which emphasizes the contrasting shadowed whites and again, makes our brains register them as even darker. This mixed with the smaller eye size makes the whites appear as almost black in many instances. However if you face your character into a stronger light source, such as the sun and zoom in by selecting eye color, you can actually see that the whites are not black. They will still appear a little darker and more of a grey due to them still being shadowed.
At most the sclera are grayish, not actually black.

Also, if using a Windows PC, you can screenshot anything with a simple Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen and then pasting into an image editing program such as Paint which comes built into every version of Windows. It snaps a picture of whatever window you have active. Tbh, kind of thought that was common computer knowledge.

I know right? I've used windows based PCs since Windows 3.1.1, and I didn't know this. Same with work or any aspect of life. I thank you for explaining how (Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen). :)

Took me a few attempts (using the old method via the snipping tool) as it really is just a split second that the screen is zoomed in that close, but I got a screenshot 'ala Skivvy' (Love your screenies btw Skivvy). :D

You are too funny! <3 I personally use Fraps for my screenshots, and I just spam the screenshot key like a crazy person when it's getting to this point. D: That shot is incredibly easy to miss.

I know, right? :) I'm kinda starting to fall in love with that color combination in general -- I favor glamours that use a black+red+gold color scheme and this character is going to look positively amazing with them. I think I'm almost settled on my Au Ra character's final look, as such. I just need a good name, probably something in Quechua or Spanish to match that South American native look she has.

On a related note: Seriously, Au Ra have an incredibly beautiful range of skin tones available. SE should just change all races in game to have access to their palettes.

Okay, need help deciding on limbal eye color(Almost 100% certain i'll go xaela I just need to test the eyes.)

*fistbump*

Why does this game not have a /fistbump emote.

Also, just gotta say this to everyone in the thread: You don't need to have Limbal Rings, you know!

I personally think a lot of characters would look even better without limbal rings :3. But go with what you like anyways, don't worry about my opinion!

She's pretty generic and simple, but that's how I like my girls ^_^. I decided to not use the limbal ring. It just didn't seem to make the eyes do what I wanted them to.

I made a male Au'ra, but i'm not too fond of the faces except one, but the females won out for me this time.

I took on your suggestion, and even dialed back the eyeliner too:

I'll play around with it a bit more later. Still leaning towards limbal rings. But first, work. :/

I'm back again to ask for you guys' opinion - which of these two colourschemes look better to you? (Everything else is the same!)

1)

I like the blue skin of the top one but with the darker red hair of the bottom.

I definately prefer the blue skinned one.

I also tend to lean towards not using the rings, but then I tend to prefer a pretty simple style for my characters. The rings definitely do give some extra pop to the faces though :)

idk i like using the rings to help make colors better this is what mine look like.

Oh yeah, nothing wrong with the rings at all! I guess I just have a boring style, but I do like bright hair colors ;)

Can't decide which one to go with

Second one, absolutely no contest. Warm colors need better representation here. :)

http://i.imgur.com/mW63Jss.jpg

This was one of my submissions for the contest. I liked this one because it reminds me of a certain Miqo'te I know...

http://s1.postimg.org/rs3qqqxgf/Au_RA_11.png

I was thinking on changing one of my retainers come Heavensward

I like this look:-
https://igcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.ne...47381041_n.jpg

seem to have got alot activaty around this look when posting pictures on twitter:-

https://igcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.ne...38821135_n.jpg

Really don't like the look of Male Au Ra which i would probably go with this look if i was to change:-

https://igcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.ne...05583616_n.jpg

Not sure if this belongs in here, or it should get its own thread..figured I'd give this one a bump anyway!

But on the JP side, they got this dev response:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2929598

It basically says (From what I can tell) that in the aesthetician we can change the rings on the eye, scales and such? I wonder why we never got this posted by our devs...what is goin on with this stuff lately :(

She just needs the goggles hehe ;)

If I do change it'll be to this. (Just wish I could make her resting face happier lol.) Anyway, I need halp! I cannot decide on limbal rings or scales. I was originally going for limbal rings and no scales but I don't know what combo looks better. Any votes? :3

I really like the first or second one, the rings look nice but they are a bit too light. I feel like the first two look a lot more natural. :o

lol I think we're gonna need a new thread for show your au ra when they come out. This should've been show your character creation au ra.
This is at 101 more than some of the other show threads!
