Do you have suggestions for changelings? White skin, solid color eyes, pointed ears? I've struggled with finding picrews with actually white skin and solid colored eyes.

Hi! Thanks for the ask. (I'm also tagging @theawkwardbutterfly 'cause I know you wanted changeling recs too!)

Here are my Top 5 picks for making changelings:

Tiefling Maker by Crowesn

Picrew overview here

White Skin ✅ Solid-colour Eyes ✅ Pointed Ears ✅

One of my all-time favourite picrews for a reason, this tiefling maker has everything on your checklist and so much more! It has 3 androgynous body types to choose from (with options to add cleavage, an adam's apple, neither or both!) and 8 face shapes!

One of my favourite things about this picrew is the skin details, so if you'd like to keep your changeling's skin pristine and unmarked you can do that but if you, like me, like to add subtle interest you can apply subtle grey blush and vitiligo like I've done in the example images. There are also scars, wrinkles, freckles, facial hair and goliath-esque markings, all of which can be layered over each other. Clothing options are versatile and there are some great accessories too!

Fantasy OC Maker 4000 by stuffjademade

Picrew overview here

White Skin ✅ Solid-colour Eyes ✅ Pointed Ears ✅

Another super versatile character maker specifically targeted towards fantasy OCs this picrew also has 3 androgynous body types to choose from (with options to add cleavage, an adam's apple, neither or both) and 8 face shapes. It also has tons of skin details including scars, bruises, make up and wrinkles but one of my favourite things about this one is the huge range of beautiful high fantasy accessories, weapons and animal companions. A really fantastic option for wizards, warlocks and rangers in particular.

White Skin ✅ Solid-colour Eyes ✅ Pointed Ears ✅

This picrew doesn't have different body types but considering it's only head and shoulders anyway, it makes up for it with it's 6 face shapes. Skin details include facial hair, scars, wrinkles and vitiligo all of which can be layered on top of each other and there's a good range of high fantasy backgrounds, clothing and accessories to choose from. The facial features, face shapes and other details are varied enough that this picrew can be used for feminine, masculine or androgynous characters.

White Skin ✅ Solid-colour Eyes ✅ Pointed Ears ✅

Continuing the trend of androgyny (particularly appropriate for changelings) this picrew has 2 gender-neutral body types to choose from and 3 face shapes. It has tons of options for skin details like scars and wrinkles and a good range of high fantasy/historical clothing and accessories including a couple of animal companions!

Build a bastard by warmonger

Picrew overview here

White Skin ✅ Solid-colour Eyes ✅ Pointed Ears ❎

Only one gender-neutral body type for this one but it somewhat makes up for it with 7 face shapes to choose from. This picrew is greyscale so if you want to make a changeling who dresses in colourful clothing or accessories this might not be the best choice. However the options for pure white skin and hair and solid colour eyes work really well for changelings. Clothing choices lean a little modern but there are options that work for high fantasy and historical settings too.

That's it for now folks, but there were quite a few others that I found while researching this that also work pretty well so I'll probably follow up with a Part 2 soon.

[picrews-for-rpgs]

hi! do you know of any good picrews for goliaths? many existing picrews lack options for body markings. thanks!

Hi! I've actually been compiling these for forever and it's been such a challenge but I've just posted my top 5 picrew recommendations for goliaths here!

I'm going to use this ask as an opportunity though to share some picrews that could work but didn't quite make the cut to be included in the main recommendation post:

Cute DnD Character Creator by Rogue Cat Designs

Grey Skin ✅ Markings ✅ Muscles ❎ Bald ✅

Pros

This is a rarely seen full-body creator specifically aimed at making D&D characters so it has tons of high fantasy clothing and accessory options and even animal companions! It's gender neutral so can be used to make masculine, feminine or androgynous characters.

Cons

The facial markings available here are a bit different from the ones traditionally seen in official art of goliaths but the main issue with this creator is that the one body type is nowhere close to muscular and doesn't exactly scream "descended from giants" Conclusion Would work super well for a child (or maybe a half-goliath?) as long as you're open to a less traditional take on the facial markings.

Sci-Fi Fantasy Portrait Maker by Sophronist

Grey Skin ❎ Markings ✅ Muscles ❎ Bald ✅

Pros

Really decent range of markings to choose from which can be layered over each other so you can customise the markings on each part of the face. Nice and gender-neutral too.

Cons

Muscles aren't so much a concern here IMO as these are only head-and-shoulder portraits. The bigger concern is that there aren't really any true grey skintone options. The skintone shown on the right is debatably closer to black (though that might just be my PC monitor tbf) and the one on the left is a white skintone + shadows.

Conclusion

This picrew should work great for a dark skinned goliath of any gender.

Black Centered Picrew by Naylissah

Grey Skin ✅ Markings ✅ Muscles ❎ Bald ✅

Pros

I recommend this picrew all the time for its great range of options across all areas but in terms of goliaths I think these markings and this grey skin tone work pretty well!

Cons

The drawback of this picrew in terms of making goliath characters (apart from the usual lack of muscular options) is that it just has the one grey skintone and only one option for markings too (though they can be repositioned on the face as shown above)

Conclusion

Best suited for a female or feminine goliath with simple facial markings.

OC Creator by maetheellen

Grey Skin ✅ Markings ✅ Muscles ❎ Bald ✅

Pros

A choice of two grey skintones (though they are very similar), a good range of scars and these cool facial markings.

Cons

Much like Naylissah's Black Centered Picrew, the issue with this picrew is that while there's one really good option for facial markings, it's also the only option.

Conclusion

If you think these facial markings would work well for your goliath character, this picrew could be ideal for you.
