7.0 Graphic Update - Lalafell Feedback (please give me back my smudge!!)

Sorry for doing a second post that's essentially the same as the previous one.
After a night's worth of sleep and drying most of my tears, I decided it may be sensible to be as specific as possible with what I'd like to see changed.

I think it's a fair compromise between the existing version and what they were going for with the updated look in the benchmark, and hope this or another post in the same spirit gets through to the developers before changes are finalized.

Another thing I take slight issue with is the apparent thin-ness of the new ears. They look a lot less sturdy than the previous design, which to me feels out of place for Lalafell. But this is a low-priority complaint, and I'm sure a lot of people will prefer the newer, more detailed version.

Thank you for reading.

After the disappointment that was my bunboy, I'm really happy with my lala!
She looks pretty much the same. The eyes is the only part that looks off to me, they seem more rounded which, combined with the straight mouth, gives her a weird shell-shocked look? She also seems more dead inside but I think that's just the bad character customization lighting because she doesn't look as weird during the benchmark.

I wonder if it would look better if they haven’t removed the catchlight? The upper part of the eye is a bit darker, but I think the dot being missing is what really makes it seem like a glazed over look.

I’m mostly sad about the lips, because after fiddling with lip colors, it just doesn’t seem like they’re as full and wide as they used to be. And on a tiny race, that’s really noticeable!

I think my only issue with my lala is how much his eyelashes were nerfed - they were quite bushy before and now they are straightened / almost gone.

Nevermind the smudge being not visible - it IS visible. It's just. Red.
I loved the darker nose smudge, and I fantasia back and forth between highlander/lalafel like, like, an unreasonable amount.

The fact it looks darker on lighter skin tones just seems like they forgot to test it on darker skin tones in the first place. > -> I desperately hope they fix it.

I also don't like how the lack of gloss on the lips now makes it look like she just doesn't have a top lip anymore. She ate it. It's gone. But the gloss issue I have on my highlander too.

My Lala is the only character of mine that I'm 100% unhappy with. I can only hope that once I get her in-game the changes aren't as stark.

Those teeth though....don't think any amount of lighting is going to fix that. lol :(

I like some changes, but the mouth looks weird and the eye shadow shape is different. I like the pupils though, they looks nice.
Her skin is so pale in the new lighting, I might have to change the update.
Left = 6.0 | Right = Dawntrail benchmark.

I like some of the changes but some just look really bad

I've never posted on the forums before, but I hope if I reply to this maybe they will give me my nose smudge back.

Her eyebrows feel less thick too, and she doesn't look as grumpy. I'm sad...even if it's a small difference, it's important to me. She looks ok in cutscenes but...It's still not the same without her eyebrows and her nose smudge. If it's not fixed, I guess I'll fanta :<
