Thank you very much for the response I really appreciate it and I've had my miqo since 1.0 so she is quite different, also the coat is the Kirimu Coat Dyed Pure White. :)

It's possible I could be biased, but personally I favor the the darker aesthetics of the Xaela for that particular character. She feels very unified with a coherent theme to her appearance. Also, I notice the image URL for those last couple images are the same so I can't comment on your second question.
So there's something that's been on my mind lately and I'm curious to hear what people think. I don't plan to change my race, but for a long time I've been conflicted about my character's skin tone which I had adjusted on a couple occasions already. At a certain point I decided to try thinking outside to box. I started experimenting with grey hues rather than the more natural coloring that I've had thus far and was pleasantly surprised. I don't dislike her current appearance, but the grey tone does have a certain alluring quality.

@Kathryn, sometimes people take a few days to respond. Personally I like your Au Ra, she is just gorgeous!
@Iromi, it's the Kirimu coat, which is BRD/MCH only. There's a non job locked version, the Uraeus Coat.
@Rixas, I like the light horned version better, they stand out more against the dark character features. For the eyes - looks like the same picture, I can't see a difference.
Blah my mistake about the eye color

I like the warm brown better :)
I know this should never be a criteria, but..grey is a bit boring as it is very common. Most female Au Ra are either natural but light skinned OR some shade of grey/blueish-grey.
So I always enjoyed it when I stumbled upon a screenshot you posted somewhere :)
Also, as it is a more reddish shade, it makes the darkblue of the scales and eyes pop so much more beautifully ^^
I can see that. For me the reason I keep asking this thread is I feel like my character design isn't really well received. This was my original design http://i.imgur.com/wPlM1xc.jpg
and now I am using

Honestly between the two which design do you think is better?
