Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

These are wonderful and the highlights in them are awesome.

I think the colour being discussed is number 2, which would be teal black. Number 1 could be seen as a blue black, even though it’s a bit light. I supposed number 5 could be blue black too, but it’s pretty saturated. It’s right on the border, but registers more as a dark blue to me.

(Thanks Nico for the image)

My hair is number 8 but we need to get a pink color like Fen has linked or like you have linked, I’ll take either one as long as it’s pink and then I’ll trade in my burgundy color. :yum: :yum: :yum:

I definitely see VEs as having several qualifying black color options under the Void visual.

That’s not to say a natural hair toned jet black doesn’t fit the void thematically it’s just not commenting on that part of the conversation at all. I think people see the pointing to of black color options as their argument going up in flames but it doesn’t need to be that way if people aren’t coming from a place of trying to present the argument as not having a black option.

This one? It’s a mockup I made as a “void white”, based on the hair Alleria has in her void form. I took the pink that shows up in it (though I think hers is due to the glow of her void form) and made it the primary undertone.

This was not easy to pull off in GIMP. Had to mess with a lot of colour settings, and colour the bottom separately from the top so it didn’t turn out too dark.

That’s because Void Elves do, they have the more emo colors that you can get and find at Hot Topic from the Manic Panic NYC or Arctic Fox hair color lines, I mean they don’t have all those shades obviously because that would be a lot of shades but the colors still fall under the umbrella of emo hair colors. :blush: :blush: :blush:

I’m posting a reply right after posting on my main but yes that one, I love the pink hair color shades whether they be like a baby pink, cotton candy pink, pink, hot pink, etc. I want them for all races. :heart: :heart: :heart:

For future reference and to save a lot of headaches I took a color code of all the VE hair swatches.

#1. 59, 117, 151 - Light Grey-Blue
#2. 67, 116, 123 - Teal
#3. 124, 147, 161 - Grey
#4. 121, 141, 166 - Gray?
#5. 49. 94, 195 - Blue
#6. 89, 45, 180 - Purple
#7. 137, 90, 170 - Lavender
#8. 144, 48, 119 - Violet

And just for the Heck, Void Black is 21, 21, 23 and Charcoal is 53, 69, 80 (Depending on brand).

That is just bad terminology then. He could have dropped in and just started saying black and it would have meant the same thing but be less weird and sounding like he had an angle.

Well I’m pretty sure when people ask for a black hair color, they are referring to the base color and not one dependent on style or lighting. Because it’s not really a black hair color at all if it requires highly specific conditions.

Also I personally would not refer any of the current hair colors black but call them the colors listed above with dark highlights.

This is why I said it’s a pointless argument.

Regardless of how one sees the currently available colours, if someone asks for “black hair on void elves”, they obviously aren’t referring to colours void elves already have available.

Agreed.

Also since I need more characters to respond, can I just point out how ridiculously close colors 3 & 4 are again?

How did that make it to live?!

You don’t know the cheat code with > and <?

I’d have to check in game, but iirc they’re shaded differently. One of them has pretty low contrast. It’s kinda weird looking.

I did not.

Like seriously, I dont get the push back against obvious things like shades of black


It doesn’t stop us from requesting the NPC black for sure and it certainly wont stop anyone asking for natural colors either.

I only wish I could do what you and Lance and others do.

Amazing work.

My void elves currently are both rocking the purple.

Though I change hair colors and looks on my alts AGGRESSIVELY.

My old mains have a solid look, but everyone else is subject to whimsy. Which is part of the reason I’m always going to cheer for more options.

And also who is this behold now I have two blood elves as well these threads have doubled my short elf count

I’m still not a huge tiny elf fan because I play on Wyrmrest Accord and want to be a special snowflake. Which you cannot be as a blood or void elf on Wyrmrest Accord because there are elves jammed into every cupboard and also probably inside the sugar bowl.
