📋 About This Mod
RAWR-paint - Male Warpaints by girlplaysgame
These are some high resolution (2048x2048) swanky male warpaints made by me, based on my favorite video game characters of all time. Some are pretty literal (like Hawke's blood smear) and some are very loosely inspired (like Shepard's tattoo ... those are Reaper scratch marks hehehe!). For more of my mod stuff, visit girlplaysgame.com and follow my Instagram SKYRIMCAM for endless, gorgeous Skyrim screenshots.
Hope you enjoy!
How to install:
Use NMM to install all the warpaints.
Or,if you want to only install a few, manually unzip the file and put only the warpaints you want into your Data/textures/actors/character/character assets/tintmasks folder.
For high resolution warpaints to display properly, you will need to make these adjustments in your SKSE folder:
- []Locate your Data directory []Create SKSE folder if it is not already there []Create SKSE.ini if it is not already there []Add "" category
- Add "iTintTextureResolution=2048"
FAQ: Will there ever be a Racemenu compatible version?
I don't plan on making one personally, but if you want to, go ahead! You can use my files as long as you credit and link back to girlplaysgame.com
Who is your OC and how do I get him as a follower?
I plan on releasing an ECE preset of him (Tannick) but not a standalone follower. If anyone wants to convert him to a follower and release as a mod, go ahead!
Can I use this mod for female characters?
If you replace female tintmasks with these manually, they will "work" - however, the warpaint placement on the face may be different. I will try to make a female version of this mod soon!
Can you make a female version of Hawke's blood smear?
Yes, here is a standalone version of Hawke's blood smear for males and females. 100% compatible with this mod. Enjoy! RAWR-paint - Hawke Blood Smear warpaint (male and female)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 972 endorsements and 25k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig these paints.
- Covers a wide range of iconic characters, so you can rep your favorite gaming hero on your Dragonborn.
- Blood smears add a gritty, battle-worn vibe that fits Skyrim's aesthetic perfectly.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only for male characters—if you play female, this mod is useless to you.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it in-game.
For Skyrim players who want to give their male characters a distinctive look inspired by other gaming icons. If you're into role-playing as a specific character or just want more variety in warpaints, this is a solid pick. Skip if you play female characters or expect modern mod features like FOMOD installers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2015, make sure your Skyrim is updated and consider using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid conflicts.
- Check the in-game race menu (showracemenu) to preview the warpaints before committing—they'll appear under the warpaint section.
- If you're using other warpaint mods, load order matters; place this one after to ensure it shows up correctly.
