Post Your Au Ra and Concept!

[Nako Vesh]

I'm overall disappointed with the way the scales do not blend into the skin, but I probably will make an alt Au Ra. I wanted to make her look rather creepy. This is what I came up with:

 

 

 

 

 

My concept for her is that she is an obsessive Astrologian. She does almost nothing without first consulting the stars and her cards. If she can't get a reading she's satisfied with, she doesn't act. She goes through life in a dreamlike state, always half focused on her readings and the stars.

[Blue]

Well, I wanted to make an early-teens character for years, and at last I have her.

 

Shortest height and 0 bust for justice! I'd esteem her to be in the 14-16yo. I hope I can pull that off. (Forgive the nudity, but it was to get an idea of how flat her curves could be).

 

 

I'll gut whoever calls her 'Yuffie', I didn't realize the resemblance until after five minutes of staring at the finished results. I hate Yuffie, but gdi this model took me all day to figure out >_<...!!

...we pretty much have the same plan Blue.

Al Ra moved to Eorzea from the once-great dragon city of Auralanta, bringing his formidable flow and soul-influenced production for all to hear

 

Man, your guy is so much cooler than mine: RYU GOKUBUSA.

 

 

He's a super dragon ninja that gets stronger every time he almost dies! It's a trait that belongs only to his tribe, which he's the last of! Well, except for his rival - Kageta Badguy. They fight a lot!

[Blue]

...we pretty much have the same plan Blue.

 

 

*cough*separatedatbirth!?*cough*

 

Granted though, yours reminds me more of Mayu and Mio from Fatal Frame II. Maybe it's the red eyes

 

Anyways, I think the resemblance is also due to the fact that the face, and that hairstyle, are really the most juvenile options Au Ras have. If the horns and faces were at least separated....! >_<

 

This is my first attempt at this same character, but as a Xaela. Again, I ended up falling for that face and hair, without really intending to.

 

[Michikyou]

 

 

Au Ra butts and Elezen Butts.

 

this is important.

[Titor]

I am kind of disappointed in the au ra and this is the only design i could really like, but I do not often play female characters so I am not sure if she will ever see the light of day. As it is right now, I cannot find a male I like.

Pretty much the youngest looking face/hair combo you can make.

 

Suuuuper moe~

 

 

[Naunet]

My own complaints aside, I'm a sucker for character creation tools of any kind. Though I have no active sub anymore, doesn't hurt to have a little fun making concept characters. I'll stick the screenshots under spoilers because, uhm, there's a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... Tomorrow if my day off. There will probably be more. Though I'm really feeling the crunch with regards to unique faces hurgh.

HYPE TRAIN PART 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

 

I have to say I'm pretty happy with the customization options. They gave us eye gradients. Eye gradients. If I had a gripe it'd be that horns are facelocked. I have been fooling around with options for my tiny haughty mobwife but I think I'm setting on this look:

 

Other vanity shots under the cut.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still needs some work probably with colors and such. I was disappointed her skin color looks so much lighter in game. I was going for a deep jeweled tone. Bah, could just be the lighting.

 

I've been most pleasantly surprised at how many varying skin colors there are. You can make Au Ra really colorful if you want to.

 

 

Do either of you have tumblrs that you upload character screens to by any chance? I realllllly want to like your posts if so @A@

Oh maaaan! @u@ You're flustering me. The image was posted to my personal tumbles but I've got a character tumblr preemptively set up here where I'll probably be posting a gratuitous amount of screenshots come expac.

[Kellach Woods]

ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT I KNOW I LIED.

 

It's cause I have a dilemma see.

 

Only have a concept for 1 Au Ra but I have two possible designs. They're both the same concept (Brawler turned vigilante) but with a different interpretation and thus, looks.

 

I'd like some feedback on both and to know which one you prefer.

 

Example line :

"YOUR EVIL IS AT AN END! I, (insert name/boisterous name here), WILL KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN!"

 

Body shot

 

 

Face shot

 

 

 

 

Example line :

"I WILL WASH MY HAIR WITH YOUR BLOOD!"

 

Body shot

 

 

Face shot

The red one, it's very striking.

[Kou]

I jumped on the bandwagon. >>

 

Name pending. But this is Anaeli.

 

 

 

[Dasair]

 

... A Yorumei edit for character accuracy. And now I am done. I hope.

 

Sooo many of these Auri are so neat. *u*

[Iex]

I hope these female Au Ra hairstyles make it on to the rest of the races. I almost want to roll one just because of the selection alone. Also:

 

 

Sadly, I don't think they all will.

 

I know some of the male hair styles include extra horns which would make no sense for other races. The extra horns is part of why I would pick a certain hairstyle over another.

[Uninstalldotexe]

Finally got a chance to play around with the character creator.  Meet my Au Ra.

 

Simplicity is more, sometimes.

 

 

[Kellach Woods]

One of the Xaela faces has a hairstyle that grants Raen horns.

[Verad]

 

He's very sad that all his friends are demonspawn.

[Jaran]

He's very sad that all his friends are demonspawn.

 

Hey, it's the 9-5 dad haircut!

[Blythe]

Here's another one I took with the same Xaela I made earlier.

What I immediately thought of seeing that silhouette.

[Leanne]

 

 

 

This is my Xaela. I....might be tempted into making her as another alt x_x

 

 

And this is one of my characters cosplayed into a xaela!

 

The adaptation was almost seamless!

 

(character in specific on the left)

 

 

 

[chaoticsleepy]

Was pretty iffy at first about the Xaela females, but I think I finally made one that I'm really into.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting for naming conventions before I even consider anything in that regard, and I have no idea what kind of backstory I'll slap on her. But I'm pretty sure she's going to be my Astrologian. Somehow. Some way.

[Harmonixer]

After realizing my capture software does not work with the benchmark client. Two or more hours later, a lot of cursing and some death threats- I finally decided between two designs.

 

Originally, I considered the swept back horns. The face is a bit older. My Au Ra is going to around age 34. What? Don't look at me like that, older fellows can look handsome at that age. This is a game dammit.

 

Anyway, please keep in mind this shade of blue is going to be much darker on the final product.

 

 

 

 

 

 

More like this color. I left it unspoiled because reasons.

 

Closer to this color. It's harder to tell in this, since it's darker. But I promise he's a shade of 'blue'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the brown version. I asked him what he was looking at. He didn't answer.

 

 

 

"I was looking to see who said that."

-Did I mention? He's blind.-

 

 

 

I really love this set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the album, with some others I didn't post and extras for anyone interested. or wanted to offer opinions.

 

I'm trying to decide between brown, or blue? Feedback would be appreciated!
