I agree, that's a really unique and wonderful looking elezen! The Au Ra is actually very nice too, but I think your Elezen is just perfect.

Hello currently I'm using Hyur Higlander with this appearance

http://puu.sh/gwr8a/60d4ca354b.png

And this is the appearance of Au Ra I really like (too bad no muscle tone slider :( )

http://puu.sh/ilWLe/a8f1cb63ff.PNG

So what's your opinion guys? :)

http://i.imgur.com/oM2nF2T.jpg

Top is current, bottom is the new one. The eye behind the hair isn't yellow but does have a yellow ring around it.

Need a final push guys, what do you think?

Right here are the rest of my opinions from where I left off last time. ^^ Feel free to critique mine if you haven't already everyone~ . :3

Soyre_Monre - Change. I love your Au Ra. You might find it is a common colour scheme though, I see a lot of people making Raen with blonde hair.
Hildagarde - Draw. I'm inclined to lean toward staying Elezen though. Pretty much for the reason I have Soyre above. I can see the white scales/blonde hair Au Ra being very common. Your Au Ra is very pretty though so I can't decide! But I love the maturity of your Elezen.
Blueyes - Stay. I like both but I prefer your Miqo'te's eyes. Maybe if you tried that colour on the Au Ra I'd tip it to change. :3
MaethusXion - "Evil" look is my fav of those three.
ToppeHatte - Draw. You pull of the tomboyish look well on both. I feel that something about the Au Ra makes her feel a bit more feminine though, maybe it's the mermaidy type horns?
Tachyon - Out of the two cats you posted on page 21 I like the left one most. Prefer the hair and face paint.
AzureZenorag13 - I already commented on yours here. ^o^
Norb - Draw. Both are pretty and unique! I think you're onto a winner whatever you do.
Azure_dragon- - Change. While I like both, I love your Au Ra more. I think it's the hair that does it, it's a lovely style.
Reokudo - Stay. I like your Hyur's look more. Your Au Ra looks pretty evil lol, but if you want to look evil, go for it. :D
Elim - I like the braids! They look cuuute.
Dhex - Draw. I like all of them. xD You did a good job of capturing the same character across race and gender. I like both your male options more.
Marveth - Change. I like your Au Ra, getting an undead pirate vibe from him heheh.
Kouren - Draw. I like both. I've always loved your Miqo'te's ethereal feel with her colours. You have pulled it off well with the Au Ra too though.
Kukajoo - I love your one with the green hair and eyes. His eyes are very piercing.
Sersei - Change. I really like your Miqo'te and your first Au Ra, they both have such pretty eyes.
Alleyia - Change! I adore your pink haired Au Ra, she's lovely. Her eyes go really well with her hair too. I also like your third one with the orangey eyes.
Noshpan - Change. I like the Miqo'te and your Xaelea Au Ra.
Minako - Draw. Your Lalafell is very cute! If you were to change to Au Ra, I'd love to see the Brunette. There are so many blonde haired, light skinned Raen about.
XxSliphxX - Change. Something draws me to the Au Ra, maybe it's her eyes. They really stand out.
Ehr - Change. I like your 2nd Au Ra, she pulls off the extra scales well.
Shori - Change! This was hard because your Hyur is awesome! But I totally love your 1st and 3rd Au Ra. The 1st one's hair looks really nice that colour with highlights in the braid.
Livaille - Stay. I like your Miqo'te more I think. Both are nice though.
Destinova - Change. I like your Au Ra's mature look.
Anzaman - Stay. I like your Miqo'te's face more I think. It's probably just my bias toward that Au Ra face's jaw/chin shape though, not a fan of the pointiness.
myahele - I like number 2.
Kaim_Sanctalux - I think I prefer your top one.
Montjuleant - Stay. I feel like your Elezen has much more character. The lines on his face and the scars tell a story. He is awesome. :3 Your Au Ra is very nice too though, not seen one like him yet.
Eul - Draw. This is too tough, both look awesome. I love how tribal your Hyur looks.
Kibafool - Change. I'm not even certain why but I prefer your Au Ra lol sorry that isn't more constructive. xD
Kimie_Daiki - Change. I love your Au Ra's eyes. *w*
NebulaRose - Draw. Not sure here. I like your Miqo'te's contrast between her light skin, with the dark hair and lips, kinda vampy. The Au Ra looks kinda demonic and all blends together but her eyes stand out. hmm depends if you prefer the darker or lighter look I suppose. (Shade wise I mean, the Au Ra is paler. xD)

I want to address this comment specifically as I notice a lot of the feedback I've received talk about eye color in particular which is an important point of discussion considering her eyes are a major focal point. I do have an attachment to having blue colored eyes, but I also recognize that the violet color I chose for my Miqo'te is extremely pretty. I made a quick edit to my Au Ra and changed her eye color to match my Miqo'te, though set to the same brightness level as her blue eyes seen in my original post.

Thanks for commenting, I went to re-check benchmark for more round jaw, but didn't really find one that would have these horns.

But ultimately, no matter how pretty my character might be, if I don't like her animations, then it's pretty clear which one to play. :p

Here's a screenshot of the character from a bit more distance:

@Blueyes . . . I love your Au Ra and think you should change. Yours is the first one utilizing face number 4 that I think is pretty. So many of the others with face 4 look so bitter and angry, but you managed to make that face beautiful.

Thanks! I like the male Au Ra designs just as much, but unfortunately I can't work out the color scheme, especially the skin color. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Every time I look at the character creator it gets more difficult to decide if I should stay Miqote or change to Au ra.

I think your original looks better, but perhaps that's just the hair color. I think if you kept it for the Au Ra, that would warrant a switch, but that's just me.

Here's my dilemma:

Thanks for the input! I spent a good deal of time on it. I'm just not sold on the horns though. Wish I could have the first set or fourth set with this set up and it wouldn't even be a question for me haha. :]

Thats the brunette. She has a slightly darker skin tone as well, came to the realization that you came to in terms of light skinned blondes. Also, I really like your Miqo'te, but the Au Ra is beautiful as well. It'd be a tough choice for me, but your Miqo's eyes are beautiful.

If there was any doubt that this needed to happen, you can pretty much brush that to the side. This one looks like she should be her own NPC. Impressive stuff. :]

I like youre Cat more

Per Normal - just my opinion, but you need to do what makes YOU happy because YOU are the one who is going to play them~! :D

@ Livaille - Both are very nice, but I like your kitty a bit more. She looks happy, even a bit amused.

@ Anzaman - I don't think you can go wrong either way. I like both of them, but if i had to pick one I would say I like your Au Ra a bit more. :)

@ myahel - If you're going to change I like column 1 and column 4. The two in the middle look pissed off and sad.

@ Kaim_Sanctalux - Between the two I prefer the second one, he just looks awesome.

@ Montjuleant - I really like your elezen, he's awesome and I don't see many like him. But your Au Ra does look like him a lot so good job on that.

@ Eul: He looks good, I think I like your highlander more. Feels like he has a bit of character to him... but both are really nice.

@ Kibafool: I really like your male miqo'te - the AuRa is nice, but that Miqo'te <3

@ Kimie_Daiki: Your current looks more mature and womanly, while the Au Ra seems younger and more innocent. I really like your hume's look though both are nice.

@ NebulaRose: I like your Au Ra - though she looks a bit sad. But both characters are cute.

@ Kirei: Kiiiiiiiiiiiiirei... how can you be a beautiful kitty without your kitttttty!!! >.< But your Au Ra is very lovely.

@ SokiYagami: Out of the three, I like the one you call the Onimusha-Type 2; Tenkai, he looks great! :)

@ AshleyNemesis: Between the two I honestly love your kitty a lot more, the Au Ra is nice - but your kitty is so pretty.

@ ChillbroSwaggins: Honestly I can't decide - your hume is very unique looking - I don't think I've seen one like him. But your Au Ra is awesome, and I love the color theme. You can't go wrong either way!

@ Minako: I think I like her better with the brunette hair - but your lala is still a cutie pie <3

I've made opinons through page 7! Geez this take awhile.

silver hope: I like the au ra, cool color combos.

leep: Looks the same either way. Have fun with a new race.

kukajoo: that elezen scares me and that au ra is badass.

hivernica: nice frosty au ra but I like the elezen better.

yamimarik: looks like marik has some tumors, both look very similar, I'd keep him hyur.

ashkendor: your cat looks badass, most are cutsey. I'd leaver her as is.

mimilu: au ra 3 is my favorite. Those eyes!

lillia: i like the subltness of the au ra.

elim: cat girl is pretty plain. I'd go au ra.

ea9sol: I like the white scales on the dark skin. different.

zenaku: au ra looks like a naruto character. I like it.

indiction: the au ra eyes are cool, I like the cat better though.

hakuro: stay roe fo' sho

juman: your au ra is creepy as hell, I like the short haired warrior kitty.

zumi: not to be mean, they both look like default characters. either way.

slipikin: I like the colors on both. try au ra for a bit then go back!

shyluv: ooooo that duskwright!

ninten: stay kitty, she has swagger.

mahri: haven't seen an au ra like that. I like it.

onikimaru: woah. that black haired lady au ra is awesome! do eet!

keydah: I like both but i dig the au ras black and white scheme you did, and you weren't afraid of scales!

azurekenorag: eww, not the au ra pls.

skeith: Those xaela are hot! Either one.

cyrus: I've always liked your highlander (i've had a lady highlander since 2013 so I may be biased). I like the au ra, try it for awhile and go back.

Thankoo. ^o^ I'd say go with this one, she looks gorgeous. <3

I'll just leave my general opinion on the thread as a whole as of now.
I feel that most of your current characters are way better than the Au Ra which you wish to change to.

I personally will be changing my character to Au Ra, but I feel alot of people here have much more original current characters, it would be a pity to see them changed.

@ChillbroSwaggins
https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...16945228_o.jpg

Do you think she looks better with darker hair? I was told by a friend that she looked like an ewok lol. Not that I mind.

@ChillbroSwaggins, Zentsa and KaiKatzchen
Thank you for the input too, I think the only logical thing for me to do is just make an alt... win win there lol.

So after seeing how nearly all the Au Ra are going with the blonde look and what not I decided to go back and just use my Xaela I made :) I haven't seen any like her yet! But even if I do that's fine..lol. Just tired of blondeblondeblonde

I like her, looks sultry!
@Kaelah While I wasn't going for the "evil" look, I was looking for more of a... gruff look.

Maybe because the tan skin I put, because if I gives pale skin, there's dark skin around his nose like he's not sleep well lol.

Welp, guess I'll add mine to the mix. I know I'm going to switch to Au Ra since a cat never felt entirely right. The question is, which one? x-x

What I am now:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...015_175032.png

The options:

Face 4:
http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...0xaela%202.png

Face 1:
http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...%20emotion.png

Definitely leaning more towards Xaela because I feel their colors are sharper. :)

You are definitely right about that. The Xaela you made up has a lot more "pop" to her presentation. I personally like the top right selection the most. Something about the color contrast seems like it'll play well into glamour gear and other stuff. Whatever you choose, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Going to second this, top right looks best in my opinion. :)

ChillbroSwaggins and Anzaman: Thanks guys! :) I only wish I could swap horns on top right, but I'm growing to like them in case we don't get that as a feature. Can't wait to try on caster gear.

Those eyes <3 Lalas are forever adorable, but this is definitely one of the prettiest Au Ra ladies I've seen posted on the forums. If you do decide to change, I too give my vote to this lovely lady.

I've narrowed it down to 2 possible faces in different lighting:
http://i.imgur.com/oYbl58u.jpg?1

Still fiddling with skin color, though I think I'll go with something more tan/closer to what my current character's skin color. But in a way I do like how the skin color blends/match with the scales to the point where the scales are barely noticeable.

It's amazing how different lighting can affect a character. A shame that you can't choose horns, since I like the horns on row #2 with face#1

PS: Is it just me or is there no fake eyebrow option in the face paint section?

I was so sure I wasn't going to fantasia, but to my surprise I finally managed to make an Au Ra I really like. Still completely no sure though... I could always fantasia briefly for the novelty I suppose, then go back Elezen later...

Anyway, currently:

Au Ra:

While I do like the Au Ra you created, that Elezen is straight up next level. You don't see female Elezens of that caliber. You should totally keep it. That or alt the Au Ra.

I agree with the poster above me ur elezen is amazing dont change

Unfortunately, I only discover the thread the day AFTER I made the changes. I bought two from a few extra money I had. But I still have some pictures to share, so it's a Before and After show for me. I liked the new looks, but I was used to how they looked before and they still looked. I thought of the "possibility" of changing them back once I get the expansion, but I warmed up to their new looks very quickly. They helped characterize them.

Hristina
Before:

After:

Lucienne
Before:

After:

Hristina was meant to be a powerful and dangerous criminal, while Lucienne is someone who's a part of high society with a lot of knowledgeable (yet capable of good and evil schemes). I just wished Hristina wasn't so pale from being a Sea Wolf.
