I like your miqo more :D there are a lot of colors going on with the Au'Ra, but it looks very intriguing, almost necromancer-like

Thanks everyone for the feedback! :) Going Au Ra for sure heheh.
I like your Miqote better too. Then again I am not too much a fan of that face/horn combo..forgive for saying so but the scales on that one look like a beard to me :( Not just yours I mean..in general. But yeah I like your miqote skin/hair/eyes color combos more then the blue :)
I spent days going over the character creator for Au Ra, going over every possible face combination making sure i didn't miss anything. And I found that face four was the only one I liked because all the other faces had more of a round feature and the eyes for the first three faces made the Au Ra look sad and defeated, while face four had a more leaner face and the eyes didn't look sad or have the look of defeat. So it's pretty disheartening to find that so far no one likes the look of her, specially since I thought I had created a beautiful and more mature looking female compared to other Au Ra and that she would stand out from the rest because she didn't look like all the other Au Ra that look so similar to each other.
Okay so still unsure if I should switch to Au Ra or not. Here is my Lala and here is my Au Ra.

This is whats important - people can give you their opinions, but in the end you have to be happy with the character you play. As long as you're happy that's all that matters. If you believe the above and love her, and want to play her then don't worry about others opinions because in the end you're the one who's gonna play your character, not us. :)
@FlareR: You too!? Heehee I like both but you're a super awesome Lala. But both are great! :)
This is my fave so far. Loving the pale hair which makes the eyes pop ^_^Quote:
Or Au Ra.

Honestly I probably will change to Au Ra for a while. But I love Elezen too much, I'm sure I'll be changing back. Just not sure if I should change back to Duskwight or Wildwood. Or.. stay Au Ra.
I think your Miqo'te as well because your Au Ra has way too much going on in my opinion. The facial markings are odd because of the way they sit on the scales. The marking color itself isn't the nicest contrast in my opinion. I also don't think the different colored eyes work on top of all that.
BUT!!! This is coming from me...who is super simplistic so you'd most likely find mine dull. I agree with what another poster said, and in the end it really doesn't matter what anyone says but you. I was bummed of the three people that commented all said my Au Ra...cause I LOVE my Miqo'te. (See my own brand of crazy.)
If you like it go for it :D I still think she looks like a necromancer, and that's cool too. I actually quite like face 4, but in your case in particular it almost felt like there was just too much going on color wise? (Red, blue/purple, green, black then yellow limbal rings) not to mention scales already give a lot of visual oopmh. I made an idea Au Ra, which unfortunately does look a bit younger (tried to keep with your style/scheme from your kitty though the facepaint is different because of the scale thing)

Thoughts?
I'm pretty sure I'll go Au Ra right away. The question of staying Au Ra seems to be less clear the closer xpack gets and the more I have to actually think about it. I rather like my midlander, but I also really like Au Ra. I keep tweaking my Au Ra, too, which I'm sure doesn't help (I wish she could have redder lips). xD

Ok here we go! I'll edit my post in a moment to vote on everyone else's. For now, mine...
Now Miqo'te (I change my hairstyle often.):
Possible Au Ra:
Replies to others:
silverhope: Draw! I love your Hyur, her eyes are pretty. :3 Your Au Ra is adorable though, her face paint and overall colour theme is nice.
Leep: Stay Elezen. I prefer his face.
Kukajoo: Draw. I like your Elezen's cuteness with the freckles. I like your Au Ra's badassedness!
Hivernica: Stay Elezen. There are too few female Elezen and yours is beautiful.
Yamimarik: Stay Hyur. Your Hyur design has always been my favy. He is so unique somehow! I feel like he is missing his trademark facial hair as an Au Ra. I do love his yellow eyes on the Au Ra though, and his smirk is /swoon.
Ashkendor: Change! I love your Miqo'te but your Au Ra nails the tribal badass look.
Mimilu: Change! To Au Ra 3. Or... stay, but change hair. :3 I dislike that style. (My opinion only of course!)
Lillia: Change! Your Lala is cuuuute but I love love love your Au Ra.
Elim: Change! I do like both but I like how your Au Ra looks kinda innocent, most of them look kinda stony and hard but yours has a softness about her.
EA9Sol: Stay! Your kitty is so unique! Your Au Ra version of her is nice though, if you go with that maybe try the less scales on the face option. I think I'd like her more that way. :3
Zenaku: Change! I'm not a massive fan of male Au Ra faces but I really like yours.
Indiction: Stay! Your Miqo'te seems to have more life, maybe it's just the lack of emote on the Au Ra pic though.
HakuroDK: Stay! Your Roe looks awesome. :O
jumanjilover89: Draw! This is tough as they are both so unique to me. I love how tribal your Miqo'te looks but I love how stony your Au Ra looks. She looks like a true Lizard lady, almost like a scaly statue.
Zumi: Change! I do like both but I'm more drawn to the Au Ra.
Slipikin: Stay! I prefer your Miqo'te's face. :3
Shyluv: Triple draw! Oh my gaaawd all three are stunning! I'm tempted to say one of the Elezen though as they are rare.
NintenPyjak64: Change! Another rare male Au Ra I actually like.
Mahri: Change! Your Au Ra. I loved her the minute I saw her.
Onikimaru: Stay! I love your male Miqo'te's face. Or... change! Female Au Ra, very Succubus looking.
Keydah: Draw! Both are lovely and unique!
I'll do the rest later! Taking longer than I anticipated haha.
Just posting these for fun >.<

Once again - just opinions but you need to go with what will make you happy!
@Mirakumi - Your hume is so pretty, but I also love your 2nd shot too! Can't go wrong either way! The Zelda one is just great lol, looks like her too. XD
@ Alleyia - Love your miqo'te, but those green eyes on that first Au Ra, so mesmerizing~!
@ NorthernLadMSP - If you really wanna change, I really like that 4th (including your Miqo) one down reminds me of the warm colors of your Miqo'te and the eyes are beautiful. But your Miqo is super cute! :)
@ Iromi - They could be sisters from another mister! heehee, they are both lovely and you can't go wrong either way~! :D
@ bizarrejelly5 - Both are awesome, I love the coloring of your Miqo'te~! The eyes don't seem as vibrant on the Au Ra, but it's also a side shot. But I like both~!
@ Noshpan - Oh I like things about both - the Au Ra has lovely eyes, they really pop! But your current is so lovely too! As for the male Miqo'te - that Au Ra is hot and I think you can't go wrong either way.
@ Tachyon - I love your Au Ra, he's very good looking and the eyes pull me in! Your Miqo is nice too, but I think I like the Au Ra :)
@ DoctorSecksy - Your Miqo'te and first Au Ra are my favorites of the bunch! Your Miqo'te looks graceful and lovely - and your Au Ra looks like a temptress~!
@ Priya - Once again, sisters from another misters! You have a look and I like it - both are wonderful! :)
@Akira - Torn on this one - I like both for different reasons! Your Miqo'te looks tough and awesome, while I love how sweet your Au Ra looks.
@ MaethusXion: So many to choose from!! For the Hume - I like the first Au Ra! For the second, I like the fierce Raen! :D
@ Kaelah: *flails* I have always been fond of to your Miqo'te - I think she's beautiful tbh! While I love your Au Ra... gotta say Miqo'te <3
@Pomelo: Both... so... cute. I can't pick >.< You're good either way! heehee
Seems like people are torn on mine~!
@ Lillia - Thanks, yeah I do put a lot of thought and time into them to make them feel balanced. Seems you're torn like I am. Also yes, 100% saving her data if I change~! <3
@Mirakumi - Thank you so much for liking my Miqote, even though I already said thanks! :)
@ Mimilu - Thank you! That's the look I was going for, a porcelain doll. Wanted that look for my Miqo'te, but didn't have the skin colors for them. :D
Here are two newer shots (one taken from earlier), I made some tweaks~! :3
Miqo'te: Current
Au Ra:
Am I the only one that thinks that everyone's current races on their characters looks miles better than the intended Au Ra counterparts they have?
Current (I main NIN and sub SMN and WAR):
Possibilities:
Before:
After:
I would never betray my glorious highlander heritage for another race. Cosmetics on the other hand are forever a difficult choice.
Most of the characters on here are better in their originals. Don't change just because of fancy new ness.
I really like the tweak on your new au ra, first picture looks really warming and 2nd picture is like ;o!
Im torn now lol
Edit:
The issue I've always had with my hume is that I feel like I've been one for sooooo long that I just want to look different!
I don't know what to do lol
I'll reply to others when I'm not rushed for classes >.>. While I'm intending to switch between the two (still having second thoughts), I'm still stuck on some things. All of these are really just emulating the colour palette my miqo'te has, but I do wish there were more vibrant colours for purple, like violet or royal purple.
Current:
Now here comes the real problems. Which nose, softer on the left or stronger on the right?
Which skin tone? Perhaps I should go lighter or darker than these?
Bonus hairstyles for Au Ra:
And then, very important, go back to the Moonie or go for a Sunnie?
Highlander.

(currently a cat since I just bought the 5 pack of fantasias that are on sale. I've been a highlander for years and got an itch to use a fantasia and try another race for a few weeks before 3.0).

@zemogFC
I like your Highlander the most out of them all
Like your cat the best
Updated my post with some better pictures that aren't on an ugly blue background. Was going for the same look. Guess its a choice between cat ears and furry tail or horns and scaly tail
