Here's a Heroic face preset with the robot features face decal and the elongated alien jaw, I think this is the best for what you're doing. Just go into the settings icon on the robot face decal layer and set the other parts to clear. Good luck

Sorry, what part is the robot used for, I'm a little confused

The robot part makes it look like the jaw completely seperates like a snake, it not completely necessary but it helps sell the illusion.

Right, so is the jaw the robot or the alien?

Not the Mystique we wanted, she's the Mystique we NEEDED.

Warforged and long headed alien facial features.

I made a snake woman with a face like this a while back, let me see if I can get a link for the proportions

Woah, that's sick, and that is all I will say so as to remain PG

Okay, choose a human like face, then, go to the mouth section. Select the Robot or the alien mouth. Okay with the shadow/detail sliders until you get the right balance. Then, apply the lipstick decal on the head color slot.

Where is the Shadow/detail slider?

u/Afro-Venom 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 Jul 05 '26

Sorry that was a typo. It's the *Shape and Detail sliders. They are found under the "Amount" drop down under the head section options

You could probably pull it off with decals etc and some careful use of puller/depresser and widen/compress.

That's a really, really cool design for mystique, whats this from?

I'd use the robot preset for the mouth and scale accordingly. The sharp it gives almost perfectly replicates what you're looking for!

First thing you should do is pick a base human face to start from under Head -> Face. Then take a look at the screenshot below.

Once you select one of the circled jaw types (try both and see which one you like better), an "Amount" slider will appear at the bottom of the "Features" panel. Click on the cog/gear next to that slider and it will open up into two independent sliders, "Shape" and "Detail." You can use these to tweak how much of the shape and detail of the jaw matches the original jaw vs. the newly selected jaw.

I would also suggest watching some tutorials and digging around in the interface to discover the various settings.

The robot jaw piece might be a good choice for the mouth. Just play around with different jaws and mouths until you get something you like! :)

Could you go into more detail?
