About this image

The result of some frustration in trying to create a Gal Gadot "Wonder Woman" and not succeeding for a rather large portion of the day lol. She has a bloody unique face, that is awkward to recreate in ECE, that's for sure. It's a case of finding a preset that is close enough and literally tweaking every small groups of vertex points individually. So time-consuming and annoying when it doesn't go right.

So I gave up, for the time being, and made this one instead. Tried to make a Nord that doesn't really look similar to any in-game.

I do plan on trying again with GG, it would be great to have her a Amazon (Nord) warrior in Skyrim at some point (when I start actually making Followers). But I will need to print out some pictures beforehand, instead of Alt-Tabbing back and forth. It makes the process ridiculously convoluted, and increases the chance of SSE crashing. Which I would not be happy about, if it went well. Got some nice reference pictures already lined-up for when I feel like it. Probably give it another crack in a few days.

I've started doing some additional tweaks to certain vertex areas, to create an asymmetrical appearance! I find it far more aesthetically pleasing, and natural, than a perfectly-mirrored face. That's why most game characters look weird. It's the "anime" style faces, where symmetry makes them look "off" in some way. Because the majority of human faces aren't symmetrical, and the way lighting works also alters appearance. So I plan to change that, and incorporate this into all of my future creations with ECE. That particular expression isn't permanent, though. It's a mix of my vertex changes and a slider for expressions. But the "resting" face is still asymmetrical.

Advice and constructive criticism are welcome, but it must be constructive in some way please.
