About My Presets:

The faces I am creating are in first place meant to be interesting and hopefully unique. If they are pretty or not is second to that, especially since beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone has different tastes. My main goal is to stay away from conventional, classical beauty standards. The ideal female face is supposed to be oval shaped (and if the faces aren't, then hairstyles and contouring are used to make them look like it), with ideal eye, mouth and nose shapes. What this amounts to in practice is an overabundance of very similar faces with differences being only in coloring, makeup and some minor flaws (if allowed).

Diversity is the key and I'm trying to throw in as many shapes and unique features as possible! Funny thing, it is actually much harder to create less "prettied up" faces, especially if they shouldn't end up cartoonish looking.

Yerra:

It takes a special kind of Redguard to travel far from their burning sands into the harsh cold of the lands of Skyrim. Yerra is enough of one to have taken the chance and travel on one of the trading ships all the way to Solitude. A deft hand with a sword and destruction magic alike, it was fairly easy for her to acquire a place on board, as only a fool would wave away someone able to rain fiery destruction on any pirate ships waiting for a plentiful raid. But what is Yerra's purpose so far from homeland? Maybe it has something to do with the teachings of Sai Sahan...

A lot of different makeup/skin flaw mods

Disclaimer:

None of my presets were made from photos of real people or using presets from other authors, but it may be that some will remind you of somebody, as coincidences happen and I have been seeking some inspiration from real life. Just ideas on different shapes, features, ratios - none of the faces have been made to specifically depict anyone, be it living or dead.
