The many faces of Aryarine

Aryarine or Alvyera as I called her before changing her name to something more elven sounding. Has undergone a couple of transformations. Her basic facial features have stayed almost the same since the beginning, but trying to go for a more realistic and original Altmer look has made her look drastically different nonetheless.

This was Aryarine at the complete beginning when I first made her. I think this was using Better Females by Bella facial textures, giving her a cartoon-like look. My mod order being a complete mess at the time this might just be SG Female facial textures instead, I can't really remember anymore. (Notice the lack of TES ridges!)

This was the first time I decided to change her look a bit, I completely switched over to SG Female, made her nose a bit thinner and longer and used the brow ridges from Ethereal Elven Overhaul, to make her look a lot more like the original elves and a bit more realistic as well.

Now here we have a drastic change in Aryarine her appearance, due to having to reinstall Skyrim and all of my mods from scratch. SG Female has been replaced with Real Girls and I started using an ENB. Made a lot of minor tweaks to her face as well for more realism.

Still fine tuning her look a little bit, more equally sized lips and a change of hair (using Ponytail Hairstyles for a bit more realism in my opinion. (She looks quite a bit uglier and harsher, and the lighting isn't helping either.) The eye mods I use in case you're wondering are Covereyes and The Eyes of Beauty.

And here we basically have Aryarine as she is now (granted after this image was taken I lowered her mouth a tiny bit and made her nose a bit longer/lower, but she looks mostly the same.) Using the SG Hair Pack, I was able to finally find a hairstyle that looked realistic and didn't make poor Aryarine look like a drag queen. (Oke she still does a little bit, but I ain't complaining.) 

So there you have it the many changes I made to my Altmer just to make her look less like a Team Rocket member and more like an actual Thalmor. Thanks to all the mod authors and thanks to Stakado for his ENBs' which are great overall, but especially if you run the game on a toaster like I do.
