A Look in the Mirror

    Hey everpony/one! I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm back, for a little bit at least! So, I recently started Fallout 4 and I LOVED the character creation system! While I was scrolling through the hairstyles I saw one that looked almost exactly like mine and I wondered "What if I made a character that looked like me?" And that's what I did! It was great fun, and It got me wondering how close the denizens of the Tamriel Vault could get, so I made this thread! Make yourself and whoever else you know that you would like to make in Fallout 4 and post them here! I'll even add them to the main post! Even though I didn't and won't, post a comparison pic if you want! Happy sculpting! 

    Pinkie Pie!

    Legion!

     

    Phil!

    Thank you, Phil! If you give into the temptation I'd love to see the result!

    Lol, liar  Honestly, though, this is exactly the sort of thing the Fallout side is missing so if you have anymore ideas as good as this please don't hold back. I will be watching this topic with great interest

    Oh, I'm sure you can if you try enough Mirric! If you want to, grab a mirror, but I am sure you can do it!

    I might try this, but it will be tricky since I have the XBone version.

    Nah, it will be easy. Take the screenshot either with Kinnect or double tapping the "home" button and pressing X. Then upload that image to Onedrive, from there upload to here

    I'll definitely be doing this the next time I load up Fallout 4, which shouldn't be more than...a few hours? I'll probably just load it up to do this. I've actually made myself twice now, so I'm practiced :)

    You need Gold as well, I entered rage mode trying to take screenshots before I realized that :P

    Awesome work Pinkie, my first character was modeled after me. Let me try and remake that, and I´ll post it

    As promised! This still isn't all that easy, even after three times. I always feel like my characters just end up looking like slightly different variations of the default models. :P

    Thanks Phil, you too :) 

    Ya know...in hindsight, I should have played the intro sequence and saved my game. This is the best I've done and I was thinking of starting a new game anyway. SIGH. Guess I can spend another 40 minutes agonizing over the details only I notice. Makes me think that maybe FO4 should have had face-codes like Mass Effect had. With such a deep and detailed creation system, I'm surprised it's not the case.

    Face codes would have been a good idea and would really help with this long winded af process. I will post a side by side later and you'll see just how off my pic is. In rl my hair is brown but my chin muff is a bright ginger

    Dammit Chris, my team in work call me Chuck Norris if I haven't had a hair cut or shaved in a while!

    I'd really like to see some of our artists here do this, I have a feeling they'd be able to absolutely nail it.
