Thank you! I'll try to keep this brief. What do Dame Aylin, Withers, and Mel Medarda (from Arcane on Netflix) have in common? To me, it's their golden adornments. - Dame Aylin's pattern reminds me of Japanese Kintsugi—the art of golden repair. - Withers and Mel, on the other hand, have a more symmetrical and deliberate design. I absolutely love both styles and think a full-body pattern with these elements would look stunning on a Dragonborn. From a roleplay perspective, I imagine that Withers might have revived the Dark Urge, symbolically "repairing" them with Kintsugi-like golden patterns. It could represent a deeper philosophical concept about healing and transformation, though I’m not smart enough to put it into words fully 🤪

AkELkA

Pretty much doable concept, know how to do that without messing up mat, so doable even for consoles yes

Hi AkElkA! Thanks so much for all the mods you've made so far, and thank you for this chance to spitball an idea! I'm really, really curious to hear what you think / how feasible it would be to achieve this... So, basically, the idea is that "mist" will come from the outer corners of a dragonborn's eyes. Similarly to how the Skybound wings reflect the chosen skin color of the dragonborn, the eye-mist will reflect the eyecolor. An effect is applied to eyes for casting certain spells, and other things, but this idea is far more subdued and permanent; it takes place in the CC, and matches your eye color. I think it would go so well with how the eyes for dragonborn are already animated like flame, know what I mean? It would make them all the more menacing. How possible would it be, do you think??

Hi there AkELkA! I cannot even begin to describe how much I love your mods, especially Vexa! I had an idea I wanted to run by you here as I think it could go well with your other mods. I'm sure you have likely noticed the mods that add remodeled versions of the female Dragonborn body, making them look more feminine. Have you considered making your own female Dragonborn body?

AkELkA

Hi, thx =3 I have considered it but amount of armor to resize for that scares me a bit to be honest, so I dunno if and when I start to do that. Also do not expect from me any version with boobs =D But I have fairly open permissions for people who want to make patches to link my mods to body mods/ npc mods etc here https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/articles/1092

AkELkA

Hi, the eye material doesn't support alpha (transparency) to achieve something like this + blindness and illithid parameters will mess up that. Also, applying effects to certain spells that match the eye color is beyond my skill level, I'm afraid. However, I can now create CC assets (including heads and head accessories) with VFX- though they won’t be too complicated. For example, I could possibly add some smoke inside a skull for a future Leshy or have floating spores.

hey there AkElkA! thanks for all the dragonborn mods you've been making! i dont know how you make so many cool looking heads. theres one idea that hit me and i figured it'd be good to put here so uh... with the fact the game is about mindflayers, maybe a mod to make a brainstealer dragon styled head? they'd be funky looking but cool. mindflayer dragonborn type thing.

AkELkA

Idea great, but I can only imagine how much of animation work it will take =D

Virtash

Hello AkELkA! First of all I wanted to thank you again for everything you are doing, we need more people like you keeping the dragonborn community alive! I just wanted to express two ideas that have been echoing in my head since I saw your creations for the first time. I thought it would be great if there was the possibility of having a dragonborn companion (like the one that should come out in collaboration on your part) but female, not that I didn't like what is coming out but, I would really love it if there was also the possibility of having a female dragonborn companion! The second idea would be to create a less bulky body for male dragonborn, I understand that most are tall and also very robust in build but, I don't think that everyone is born with 3 tons of muscles and 2 and a half meters tall! Having said that, I send you greetings and wish you the best!

Wamp

Hi AkElkA! How about an undead Dragonborn? You know, with chunks of flesh missing, skull showing through, would be perfect for a necromancer, even if only affected the head.

Wamp

Maybe a design based on the "Countermeasures" would be more manageable? You know, those guys you fight on top of the Netherbrain, with their overgrown brains that cover their eyes, would be pretty sick. (https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Pactsplitter)

AkELkA

Hi, about the female companion- let me explain what a companion includes. It's mostly writing, dialogues, voice acting, animations, scripting, etc. I only handle the visuals. For the current companion, I’m creating special visuals, but if someone does all the other work for a female Dragonborn companion, it's possible to make a patch to use my visuals for it, or use mods like Appearance Edit Enhanced Also if anyone else want to connect my mods to companions or body mods I have this page with permissions https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/articles/1092 About body mods - if I create them, they won’t be shorter or altered in ways that affect animations. I want all my modded parts to fit seamlessly without needing extra patches

Virtash

Well I imagined that changing the body size would be very complicated, perhaps I asked slightly too much without actually thinking about all the work that needs to be done to make it happen. For the fellow dragonborn, however, I am confident that maybe someone could make a patch, I can't be the only one who thought about it, right?. Anyway, thanks for the reply!

Toot Bender

How about Digitigrade legs!? I'm sure that's a lot of work, but it must be possible because the Satyr and Tabaxi mod both exist right?

AkELkA

Hi, mod like this exist on Nexus - Dragonborn 4-talon Digitigrade Legs, made by WuffyCerulei

Godzilla87667618

What about a retexture mod that gives dragonborn whiter and cleaner teeth? i don't like how dirty their teeth look in the game, and it would probably be somewhat simpler to make.

AkELkA

Pretty fast and simple to make, yes. Could do that between big mods

AkELkA

found out mod like this exist already - Brush Your Teeth- on Nexus

Loki Dumdum

how about a hairstyle with Loki based horns with glowing tips? possibly norse runes?

Loki Dumdum

sorry i'm a sucker for Norse mythology

Loki Dumdum

sorry better idea, could you do dragonbor apperance mods that make them look like drogon from Game of thrones? then just add Loki Based horns and the other stuff i mentioned?

AkELkA

Yeah, I'm testing out animated attachments for now, maybe I can do something like that or at least something with custom physics. If I fail it could be plan B XD

VaferLupus

What about a mod that lets you use the scars from DMH, Rathgor, and possibly Vexa on male and female vanilla heads?

AkELkA

Dragonborn doesn't have a 'scar layer' in the shaders, so I’ve been adding scars by editing all the head textures directly - which is why I haven’t flooded the Nexus with a scar pack yet =D I’ve started tweaking the nodes in the toolkit, mb if I create the system it will be easier, but no idea if or when I’ll get results. Custom shaders aren’t console-compatible though I’m digging in that direction- eventually I’ll get it done Vexa’s scars are a separate case - her face is actually reshaped for the scarred version. It’s not just a texture; the whole face is asymmetrical, with cracks and bumps that make the skin look like it’s been pulled and tightened overall

VaferLupus

I had wondered sometimes why you added the horns from DMH to vanilla heads and not the scars. It certainly makes more sense now. As for Vexa's scars the fact they pull the lip up is just some amazing attention to detail. Thank you for answering the question.

Fritz Bauer

Heya AkELkA I have a few ideas I would like to throw into the forge: New eye designs, like other pupil shapes New horns with long dreads Thinner/smaller Dragon born bodies like body type 1 and 2 for normal races Unique Dragonborn armor and cloths that could add armor to the tails New skin colors If none of these are possible that's fine I just wanted to throw these ideas out there.

AkELkA

- New eye designs, like other pupil shapes - Poesielibre often doing things like that, if you have some suggestions about design most likely she will get it to attention - New horns with long dreads - doing that for companion already - Thinner/smaller Dragon born bodies like body type 1 and 2 for normal races - I'm planning to hold with body mods after male clawstep for a while, so not in nearest future, at least not without collab - Unique Dragonborn armor and cloths that could add armor to the tails - Poesielibre working on that already. And it will be compatible with my tails. But publishing is not soon - New skin colors - Poesielibre and Padme 4000 has lots of it, really, espesially new Padme's system with coloring though hair tab, I dunno what color we dont have honestly with it. I'm poking colors for my specific tech reasons, but not for publishing

Fritz Bauer

Thanks for the response and I look forward to seeing all your future mods.

Fritz Bauer

I had another idea, Godzilla like dorsal plates and/or head.

Beepo!

Are there plans to try and make the skybound wings on the Body 1 a little less obtrusive in conversations? Also thank you for all your hard work! Your mod quality is absolutely on another level.

AkELkA

Hi, yes, I remember of my promise to do that. I will do that, when though I can't tell for sure

Toot Bender

How about giving the Dragonborn different "eye effects" depending on their breath-weapon? Like lightning breathers would have electric irises, ice-breathers would have ice irises etc. I think it would make more sense than every Dragonborn having flame irises.

AkELkA

I never made EOTB presets - it's a fun idea, but I bet the eye preset modders would've done this a hundred times faster if you asked them. Kinda don't even know if it's possible to bend the eye shader that way to get proper lighting and all

Dr.Cgad

Have you ever thought of getting Crazy Colors usable for the dragonborn scales, plus compatibility with P4 DBG scale colors enhanced would be nice. I would especially like to apply the crimson red for my character's accent.

AkELkA

Hi, Padme told me she will make patch to Crazy Colors to work with her scale mod, I dunno when though, but she did ask permission to do that, so I think she will do that

Dr.Cgad

Cool, how long ago was this?

AkELkA

Don't remember, week mb

Funzo

hi i love ur work its awesome to see some love for our scaley bois I was thinking maybe more Dragonborn armour maybe something like shao Kahn inspired also those red dragon horns looked awesome

Funzo

I was thinking maybe crocodile inspired heads kinda like Daedroths from elder scrolls or maybe a head inspired by other the red dragon that the giths ride

AkELkA

I have one in my purgatory for red dragon look https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1368179574785183914/1368212028740734986/OXrijBD.png?ex=689201bf&is=6890b03f&hm=5632c4aa401227a14bc5116f3d82246dd89afe48fb14bdecfcec1385453cc371&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1287&height=729 needs more work though About croc one - I'm experementing with long maws currently, but purelly croc like - most likely no, fang out and lips will not like each other most likely, but who knows mb Armor - oh, I think after finishing Clawstep I'll not look at armor for loong time XD

Funzo

I saw that in the discord it looks awesome

AkELkA

- fang out and lips will not like each other most likely I mean the face expressions. I could make a test but not in this couple weeks I want to finish body mod in time I promised

Funzo

No problem

Funzo

Some crocodile inspired heads like the Daedroths from elder scrolls would be cool

RG4327

What about a mod that adds large dragonborn bodies? Like what you get when you are a barbarian (giant). But to have that as your standard size (basically a body 3 and 4 for Dragonborns) I'd love to be able to truly make my hulking grandfatherly dragonborn character. Though this might be tricky when interacting with objects.

AkELkA

scaling like this will mess up lots of things. If done by scale like halsin - halsin and tav lots of time levitate in cutscenes and dialogs just to fix that mess. If done by proper new body type -it's even more work of other kind and cutscenes still be messed up

Abraham the Heavy

most likely not possible as the other modder isn't modding BG3 anymore and it would require an absurd amount of work but i would love to see clawstep being compatible with the muscular male dragonborn mod

AkELkA

A patch like this would be about the size of Raykie’s mod if not bigger, so it would take a lot of time. I’m not particularly fond of resizing "100500" pieces of armor again. ----------------------------- On top of that, Raykie’s mod contains NSFW content, and I don’t work with NSFW. ---------------------------- Compatability: 1. Considering how wide the spine is, it most likely doesn’t match with my wings pack either. 2. It also has custom tails and private parts, so I assume it doesn’t line up with vanilla attachment zones at all. I could explain how to fix that, but it would end up changing the proportions of the body. ----------------------------- That said, if someone else wants to take it on, I could guide them. They’d most likely need permission from Raykie as well, though At least to reuse their NSFW part

Abraham the Heavy

yes i can only imagine how resizing all those pieces of armor would be hell, wish BG3 had something like skyrim's outfit studio so armors could be easily resized that would make modders life so much easier

Endormaco

I absolutely don't want to recommend something obscene or uncomfortable, but a mod that adds lore-accurate genitals to Dragonborn? Like, for example, cloacas for male Dragonborn with a retracted or non-retracted variant to choose from? Also compatible with the clawstep mod. It has nothing to do with sexuality or anything, it's just that we now have the option to have Dragonborn with digitigrated feet and dragon wings, and still seeing them with a humanoid or mammalian penis gives me that wrong feeling that something is off. If the request is weird or makes you uncomfortable, or you simply don't want to work on it, that's fine, but it would be the last mod in my opinion for creating the definitive Dragonborn.

AkELkA

I don't work with NSFW And any private part compatible with vanilla = compatible with the clawstep if modder made it to attach by same line of vertexes that vanilla ones use No patches needed

Endormaco

No problem, ty for the answer

Dragonlord99719

Out of curiosity, are there any mods that alter the dragonborn genitals? Ones that affect females I mean?

Endormaco

In the nexus there are plenty of genitals mods that should work with dragonborn as a race and in the specific both female and male. About something similar to a cloaca I found a mod on the loverslab site in the baldur's gate section, it's called Dragonborn slit, should work for both female and male, also in the comments there is a guy that improved the mod so you should download his file. The only problem is that the mod changes the body of male and female to work so it's not compatible with clawstep for example. Sorry for the wait I just saw your message right now.

AkELkA

just download "'None' as a genitalia option " from Nexus

Plagueru

I saw the recent update of the mod for the "Dragonborn Hatchlings" and i was really impressed by your work with the facial animations! can i suggest something similar for repairing/adding the facial animations as well for the "Whispers of the Guardian - Dragonborn Guardian" mod?

AkELkA

It's already in testing, but it's not working good enough yet even to show off it in mods queue yet, since I remaking my blender addons to make this possible

Plagueru

That's awesome to know! i'll be patient with that one, then as another suggestion, I can only think right now of more CC ideas like more dragon "dreadlocks" hairstyles? (with physics would be a mega plus) or head-Fins, Spikes, whiskers, "teeth out" mouth, Horns, Nose Horn, more snouts etc. What I mean specifically is more like those DnD Dragons Artwork options for extra CC https://i.imgur.com/XtM568r.png https://i.imgur.com/OqTRwfb.png https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DTBdIm2VMAEChUd.jpg

RottingMothball

Hi! Would you consider sharing the blender models for the clawstep bodies, maybe, if that makes sense? I've started making poses, and I LOVE using clawstep, so it would be cool to be able to make poses specifically for clawstep.

AkELkA

Hi, u could unpack mod and use clawsteps gr2 for poses, skeletal base same as vanilla Also i beleave in modder resorces on Nexus page of Clawstep blend file with the bodies ( one for armorists) PS a stop on armorist shaped mesh, better just take from mod last version for poses thx btw, i would love to see poses for clawstep

RottingMothball

Oh, thank you! I don't know anything about modding aside from adding poses, so I wasn't aware you could just do that!

AkELkA

Yeah u could just drop pak to Baldur's Gate Modder's Multitool and open it, super simple. Or if u use toolkit - add as dependency in toolkit, close and open toolkit, u'll see all visual resources there here how to add dependency https://youtu.be/PSGa5aAxO1M?si=Tnbg3cxIDVcv6ePr from 0:00 to 0:59 part of video

AkELkA

I would also suggest to unpack the Fleshforge mod to make sure when u pose different paws is ok with poses too

Inari the Kitsune

Is there a way to have your Extra Bodytypes mod allow you to use both plantigrade and digitigrade legs on various characters?

AkELkA

it is but if somebody would setup all meshes, all armor assembly and patch all thing to it. I don't see any appeal to have both things in the same game. If somebody want to tho, technicly they could

RG4327

Hi! Would it be possible to have a digitigrade option for other races for draconic sorcerers only? Like full dragonborn legs below the knees? Make them a bit more draconic than just scales only. Just an idea

AkELkA

Hi, I don't work with human-like races Poe (Poesielibre) has something like that for tieflings as i remember Classes does not have they own char visuals to tie body to it

Auto

Hello! I'm obsessed with the "Durge's Horns" mod, I use it with the DMH assets, but it always throws me off that the horns don't match the textures or colours of my Durge's scales quite right, as they're a different type of material. Would it be possible to make a version of "Durge's Horns" that matches the textures of the vanilla/DMH horns and scales?

AkELkA

Hi, yes it is different type of material https://youtu.be/4a252K46X74?si=n2CwsIMWYDHYVXtQ&t=30 Since anything in that is not in Jaw/Chin/Crest tabs does not react on "Appear only to sertain head" setup i use all extra tabs for body assets from now on, I do not intend to make head assets in extra tabs cause heads are very different by shape even in same body type, so i dont think i will add extra things to that exact mod

Ness The king of sushi

Tiny question, will you ever do something with kobolds? Asking since your works with Dragonborns are fantastic and kobolds are basically miniature dragons, tho I know that it's a lot to ask since it's a completely new race

AkELkA

Didn't have plans for that, since to fix them i will need to resetup them to some gnome or something and remake all armor and i'm not looking forward for armor remaking tbh If there some similar body shaped interesting races to not do that only for one - mb, just for 1 race tho, most likely no

kwehsar

Hello!! I just wanted to share that I LOVE YOUR MODS SO MUCH!!! They're my favorite mods. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!! I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to consider making a gear patch for the house of hope couture mod? I really would love to use yurgir's armor for that but it doesn't work with the clawstep. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/14033

Dustin Witte

Something I'd like to see is more head options to add tendrils to them as they are described and shown in art in the various core rulebooks and sourcebooks available. Honestly, anything to make them more visually in line with the books, like 4 clawed hands etc. Genuinely love all your work and look forward to anything you put out!

nordnonsense

Just want to start by saying your work on Dragonborn customization is awe-inspiringly awesome, and greatly appreciated by dedicated DB players like myself. I was wondering if it would be possible to see an alternative version of the 'Quilled Wedge' crest style for both the vanilla and (your) modded Dragonborn heads, without the quills and only the horns - a 'Quilless Wedge' I guess. I attempted myself, but after banging my head against Blender, the BG3 Toolkit, and the Multitool for about five hours, and only getting as far as importing the base heads into Blender I realized I was far out of my depth. I know you're working on far larger projects, so even if you decided to do this it would be in the interim of other work, but I think it would be a really cool CC option!

AkELkA

If you have trouble to make assets u always could hop onto my discord and ask questions where u stuck. I think lads would like more assets, but I myself currently on anims, tools and birds

nordnonsense

I actually haven’t even had to ask a question yet, and using the info in your server I’ve made huge headway — really all that’s left is texture editing! Thanks for all the awesome resources!
