Fantasia or Not Help people choose!

[Mirakumi]

That's the thread I seriously need!

I actually am torn myself. I want to say the green eyes draw me in and say why not try with pink hair w/highlights ?
Paint!


I say go for your Kitty though for now!

sorry for double post!

That is actually not a bad idea, thank you very much.

I would eventually stay Miqo'te, but I've used so many fantasia in the past that it doesn't feel like "me" anymore. Hence why I tried to model my Miqo'te after my 1.0 character and with Au'ra I'm basically trying to reinvent my character and never use a fantasia ever again.. does that even make sense? <.<

Makes sense to me, you're trying to reconnect with your character right? So you're making a new one and trying to get that feeling back to where you can feel attached to her and like shes more than just some character you're playing but shes really your character. It's one thing to make just a character imo but I feel like it takes time and a little piece of oneself into making one to really draw a connection with the character you're playing.

which is what you're trying to do?

Exactly! Hence why I designed the Au'ra after previous characters/haircolour after my RL-Me to make them feel more like "me".
Au're are basically a race I wished they had since the beginning of 2.0.. I love Dragon-Like races/characters with horns and scales..!

Current:




Possible Au Ra:



I'm really attached to the overall colors/style of my current character so instead of making a completely "new" char I decided to just make an Au Ra version of my current character instead. I just can't decide if I'm gonna actually switch or not ;_;

Ohh this is a neat idea for a thread! :D Love seeing everyone's characters, both current and possibly future ones!

I've commented on pretty much everyone I think, or at least that was the plan. Of course, everything I say is all personal opinion! :) You should always choose whichever makes you happiest, no matter what anyone else thinks~ ♥

silverhope: Ohh, I think I like your highlander lady best, although your au ra is cute.
Leep: I think your current is the winner! :)
Kukajoo: Change to au ra! Love your au ra guy's haircolours, they really make his design pop. :D
Hivernica: Your elezen is lovely, but I'd say your au ra is even lovelier. Good job on both of them!
Yamimarik: Change to au ra. :D He looks like the continuation of your hyur, but with a few more fantasy touches (the glowing eyes, etc) that I really like!
Ashkendor: Stay mi'qote! But I may be biased haha, I've always admired your catlady - she looks fierce!!
Mimilu: Stay current, your roe is absolutely beautiful! Love her colourscheme.
Lillia: Ohh your au ra is beautiful! Love the way her eyes pop, it really makes her colourscheme unique. :D I would say au ra is the winner!
Elim: Ahh I'm sorry, I just can't decide! They're both lovely.
EA9Sol: I prefer your current! :) The white scales distract me a bit in the au ra pic, haha.
Zenaku: Go au ra! He looks great. :D
Indiction: I think your au ra is the winner here! :) Although both look great, I have to say.
HakuroDK: Stay roe, I'd say!
jumanjilover89: I'd say stay as your current, but I might not be the best judge - I'm a bit biased against au ra face 2, haha. I do think she looks really good though, it's a very cool colourscheme you've got for her. :)
Zumi: I can't decide, sorry!
Slipikin: Ohh I like both of them for different reasons - it's a tough one! I think I slightly prefer your mi'qote though.
Shyluv: Your au ra is absolutely GORGEOUS! Like, wow! I love your elezens as well (duskwight a bit more than your current), but I think your au ra takes the cake!!
NintenPyjak64: Ahh I can't decide! I think your au ra wins because of the coolness factor - and I think he'd look great in nin and smn gear!
Mahri: Hmm tough one, I do love highlanders... but I think your au ra wins - and I don't think you need to be worried about seeing her clone anytime soon! She's beautiful, yet very unique. :)
Onikimaru: Ohh wow, all your characters look great! Personal preference puts the male au ra at the top of the bunch for me, though. But I don't think you could make a wrong decision here with how great they all look!
Keydah: Both look beautiful and unique! I think I slightly prefer your mi'qote, but honestly, they're both fantastic. :D
AzureZenorag13: I think I prefer your mi'qote, only because I get a bit overwhelmed with how many different colours there is on your au ra! I do think they're both pretty great though.
Skeith-Adeline: The last Raen or the light-haired Xaela is my preference, I think. :D
Cyrus-Wallace: Ohhh both are great, but I love the look of your au ra! She looks mature yet stylish. :D
Raminax: Your Xaela is super handsome!! I'd say go with him.
Glaereth: I prefer your au ra, although your mi'qote is really nice too. :D
Mirakumi: Ohh I like both your main character and the first au ra, but I think the first au ra takes the cake!
KaiKatzchen: Both are pretty, but your mi'qote is super pretty!! I'd say stay your current.
Alleyia: I like the first au ra a lot! She's really gorgeous!
NorthernLadMSP: Ohh this is a tough one - I think a lot of your auri are really gorgeous, hmm. In order of preference: 4th au ra > last au ra > 3rd au ra!
Iromi: I like your au ra best!
bizarrejelly5: Both look really nice, but I prefer your current. :D
Noshpan: It might be the lighting, but I can't really see much of your au ra lady? If it's not the lighting, then I'd say stay highlander. Whether to change your male character or not is a draw, I can't decide what I think looks best!
Tachyon: I prefer your current, he looks awesome. :D
FlareR: Ohh I really like your au ra! Purple skin high-five!! :D
DoctorSecksy: Hmm, all of them look really good! I can't decide haha - I think they all look great.
Priya: Your au ra takes the cake, but they're both really pretty. :)
Akira: I'd say go with au ra.
MaethusXion: Medium skin/evil is my favourite, followed by Xaela dark skin. :D
Kaelah: Draw, I can't decide! Your mi'qote has a ton of personality, but so does your au ra... honestly I don't think you can make a wrong choice here, they're both great. :D
Pomelo: Stay femroe! The world would be a worse place without that beauty in it. ):
Fuma: I really love the look of your au ra lady! I think she's my favourite of them. :D
KaijinRhada: Mooncat!
zemogFC: I prefer your highlander or au ra, definitely. :)
Colorful: It's a draw for me, they both look nice. :D
Zerophiliac: Both your au ra look great! I slightly prefer the darker skin, but it's a tough choice. :D
Red_X: Male au ra! He looks wonderfully evil.
Mitsuyo: Ohh, lovely! I prefer your first au ra of the two, but they look great both. :D
Soyre_Monre: Can't go wrong here, both current and possibly future look fantastic!
Hildagarde: Ohh both look cool! :D
Blueyes: I prefer your au ra but both look amazing!

Lillia: Ohh your au ra is beautiful! Love the way her eyes pop, it really makes her colourscheme unique. I would say au ra is the winner!

Thank you for the nice compliment, my eye color for Au Ra is the color I aimed for with my lala too. It became more of a 'trademark' thing for any alt I made as well as time went though I know other people use that color too.

so I guess not too much of a trademark but just more of a color I make sure to pick a lot because I love it so much. xD

Better view of my Lala's eye color, since I noticed the lodestone picture for forums avatar sort of lightens it and makes it look dull and the other one i took was her emoting so it makes it harder to notice.

This is my Hyur as she currently looks. She's the green-haired lass in the fore-ground. (The Miqo'te in the background is played by an old friend from high school.) Oddly, it's the only screenshot I have of her current appearance (the rest has her as a blonde).



This is what I currently plan to change her too: a nice little Au Ra.



Incidentally, I've been entertaining the notion of changing my male Miqo'te to an Au Ra.

Him now (it's an older screen shot, sir, but it checks out).



And what I've been thinking about changing him to
