Fantasia or Not Help people choose!

[Hildagarde]

Just wanted to thank everyone for the comments and advice. I think I've been convinced to stay Elezen despite some of the things that annoy me about their proportions (mainly the overly long necks).
It is nice to not see many characters that look similar to your own, and truth be told she's looked this way since 2.0 early access, and I've grown somewhat attached.

Blueeyes: I like your Au Ra a lot, but I think I like your Miqo'te just a little bit more, her violet eyes are very pretty.

Kinda got a few requests to do a combo 1/3 on my main

Main look


"Evil" look


Main look with "Evil" hair

Thank you all for your feedback on my character!

Here are my thoughts on everyone else's chars (incoming edit...)

silverhope: I really like your Hyur with the Au Ra's color scheme the best!
Leep: Both look great but I'm leaning towards your Elezen, he looks like he has an attitude and I like that. :3
Kukajoo: Your Elezen looks super unique, I'd say stay!
Hivernica: Both look great but I really like the eye+makeup colors on your Au Ra, she is gorgeous, definitely change! I'd pick the top hairstyle too, I like her eyebrows visible!
Yamimarik: Your Au Ra is cute but I prefer Hyur all in all for some reason.
Ashkendor: I like your Miqo'te's fierce look but the Au Ra looks super cool, change!
Mimilu: Stayyyy, the world needs more cute Roe ladies!
Lillia: I love your hair+eye color combo! It works really well on both but I'd say change.
Elim: Awww, your Au Ra won me over with that cute smile picture. Change!
EA9Sol: Stay! I like your Miqo'te!
HakuroDK: Your Roe looks so cool with those colors, stay!
Indiction: Your Miqo'te is very cute, I'd say stay :3
jumanjilover89: Ooh both of them look unique but the Au Ra looks more interesting to me, change!
Zumi: Your Miqo'te looks like she has more edge to her, stay!
Slipikin: Both look great but I like your Au Ra better overall, she looks cool and mysterious, change!
Shyluv: All three look great so I'm having trouble choosing also...All in all I think your Duskwight looks the best, very unique and beautiful!
NintenPyjak64: Change! I like the look of your Au Ra better, nice contrast with the hair and skin colors imo.
Mahri: I loooove your Highlander, she looks very unique!

Phew that took a while, I'll get on the rest a bit later! Everyone looks great though, I love seeing everyone's current and new chars!

Au Ra:

I like the tomboy look since it's not something a lot of people seem to go for.

Most of my characters are plain/simple, so that the majority of my armor/gear/classes don't look unnatural one way or another but after going over some replies (thanks everyone!) I adjusted my miqo to try and give it some more personality

Relink to original post

NO idea if I like it or not xD

@Colorful: Stay; Your miqo looks more innocent, but both are good
@Zerophiliac: Change; Your first Au Ra looks awesome! but it would be quite a shock going from lala to that height
@Red_X: Change; I really like your female Au Ra (Hair 2) the purple highlights on that hair look wild
@Mitsuyo: Change; all are nice, the first Au Ra is probably my favorite
@Soyre_Monre: Stay; Y'shtola!
@Hilda_Garde: Stay; Your original one has a unique scholarly look, but the young mystique style on your Au Ra is okay too
@Blueyes: Draw; Both look good, I can't decide which one is nicer. Though on the Au Ra she looks more mature and the blue pops
@MaethusXion: Change; "Evil" looks is awesome

[Hildagarde]

MaethusXion: I prefer the "Evil" look mainly because I think the pink works better as highlights in the darker hair, and I prefer the skintone and facepaint on that design.
TopHatte: I say stick with your current look, It conveys the tomboy impression better and I love that hairstyle.

Your character was really pretty so I hope you don't mind but I started playing with creation to recreate a similar Au Ra version out of inspiration. I think you should def stay Elezen though!

looked over all the feedback everyone gave -btw thanks all- and i realized i was going about it all wrong, what i should have shown is my Au Ra with nothing but the features that cant be changed by the aesthetician, because that is more important than the things that can be changed by the aesthetician. so here she is



I also decided to go back and change some of features like the face paint and the color of the limbral rings. specially the limbral rings because they clashed with the colors of her heterochromatic eyes. so remembering back to color theory 101 i decided to go with a color that complimented blue and green, that naturally being red. On the face paint some were not liking the original face paint do to it covering the scales, so i changed to one that wouldnt cover scales, so with out further ado i present her new look



Original look

[Norb]

Current: (FFXIV Client)

Pros: Towering height, uncommon race/gender
Cons: Certain lighting/angles make her face look off, no hairstyles I really like

Considering: (HW Benchmark)

Pros: Something new, has a demonic feel
Cons: Short height, will be a very common race

------------------------

I keep waffling back and forth between the two. I like the towering tough-looking Roegadyn, but also the supernatural scaliness of the Au'Ra. If only the latter could reach the height of the former this decision would be easy.

[silverhope]

still seems like way to many colors.def better without the rings though. but i think its the red that it killing it for me. maybe a blue/green highlight? or lighter skin to break it all up. im not sure
