About this image

I am attempting to make Arwen from Lord of the Rings. Custom eye textures by HHaleyy (Arwen Blue).
Be nice, this isn't easy. :)

    She is very cute and looks like maybe a younger version of Arwen, who is over 2700 years old in LOTR.Her eyes look hazel color but should be deep blue (if you want it to look like Liv Tyler), with darker eyebrows. Nice work - endorsed!

      Thank you. Yes I didn't notice until after I uploaded that I had the wrong eyes loaded. Her custom eyes, that HHaleyy did are darker.

    Wow! She is looking good!! :) You have been busy with projects I see. Hopefully this is a new future follower. I don't normally install "celebrity" followers, but because of my experience with your other followers she would be added to my crew. Have a great day!!

    She looks great.
    Better than Liv Tyler in Lord of Rings truth be told.
    But one thing you could do to better match her is make her eyebrows darker.

      Eyebrows do need some work for sure.
      trip said to give her that distinctive crease in her lower lip also, that is proving quite difficult too.

      I'll send you a preset, you can play with it a bit also and see what you can do. If it turns out good enough, I may turn her into a follower.

    She is really pretty.
    You can almost see no jagged. I never get that. Whenever I found a preset with a smoothed chin and nose, they were always crumpled to the side of the mouth, which you can see in this half-face pose.
    Would you tell a little bit about how you did that?
    Did you use ECE? Or another headmesh?
    Especially the inner corner of the eye, I find impressive, which face texture did you use?

      This is all done in ECE SE. Hours of vertex work is the key. Adjusting this slightly, adjusting that slightly.
      Time consuming, but fun at the same time. I have moved the inner eye upwards now. Liv Tyler (Arwen) has a more level eye.
      Eyes will take awhile to get right. Chin is tough, still adjusting that. But getting closer.

      Face and skin textures are all from HHaleyy's Fair Skin Complexion. I am also using her Makeup Overhaul.
