LE bloody, scarred, bruised, decaying skin textures for males

[rustedsyringe]

Hello everyone, as I'm getting back into skyrim and playing around with my character I've been looking (for quite some time) for bloody, scarred, bruised, and or decaying skin textures for my MALE character.(face and body, but more scarring etc. on the body. The male part is important because I know there are some great looking female texture ones but none that I can find for males. Here's a bit of background so everyone knows what I'm going for. (also if something like this already exists please link it because I couldn't find it =/ but I'm not really the best at looking for things anyway) I want my character to look like a demon that also looks human so having scars, blood, decaying parts of his skin etc would be awesome. burns, bruises, bite marks, whip scars and that kind of thing would be cool too, something that makes him look like he's been through torture. On the topic of the decaying parts of skin: I'm not a modder so I don't know how hard that is to recreate but bones showing through skin, teeth showing through the cheek ( like the mummy movies) that type of thing would be awesome but if its really hard to do torture scars as I mentioned before is great on its own. I don't want him looking like a draugr though so I would really only want decay in a few places.

 

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31954/? this mod (female only) has some really nice textures that are very similar to things im looking for. open wounds is really great as well. So if anyone who has modding experience could help me out I would be forever thankful.

 

I do use custom face and body mods: better males favored souls mesh - flaccid version (hairless and clean) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2488//? and for faces i use same mod but the Younger faces merged with Men by Geonox variation

I also use race menu and a few custom eye textures (not sure if that changes anything)

 

I want to thank everyone for any replies and especially those who link or make anything for me. :biggrin:

It would appear that the author of BI Phenotypes has also released resource packages (at the bottom of the downloads page on the mod), crafting your own textures from that shouldn't be too hard if you have basic knowledge.

thank you ! I didn't see that. I don't have great knowledge on modding but I'm sure if I played around with it I might be able to figure it out.

You don't need the Creation Kit for texture modding, by the way.

Just Paint.NET and Gimp. They're both free programs. Photoshop and other things like that will work as well ofc, if you already have them.

 

Skyrim textures have to be in .dds format. Use Paint.NET to convert the Skyrim texture you want to edit to .png format. Then edit the textures in Gimp. When you're done, use Paint.NET again to convert the texture back to .dds format.

It's really quite easy to mod textures with a bit of practice.

 

Modding actual bones would be significantly more difficult.

 

Using custom eyes and the race menu won't change anything, but the body mod might.

I've heard of GIMP but never used it quite honestly. However, I do have a bit of practice in photoshop so maybe I'll play around with that. I was worried about bones and that sort of thing so maybe I'll just work on the scarring if I can't figure out how to play with BI phenotypes reference pack when my new computer arrives. Thanks for the reply Rennn :D

hoping on this topic, how does one with literally no knowledge create their own scar textures. This is kind of what I am going for, I simply want to make it for all human races, male and female..
