7.0 Graphical Update - Hrothgar Face 1 Issues/Feedback
Let me clarify that many of these issues were already present on the previous benchmark, but now that the new (and probably final) version is here I fear these changes may become permanent.
That being said, my intention is to show my WoL's (probably not specific) case and to provide feedback that it may reach the developers.

The same character data was used for this comparison and as you can see his overall feel has changed drastically. I tried every possible background a light direction present in the benchmark and I can affirm this is a prevalent issue.
I'll go into further detail and point out the biggest issues:

-The inside part of the lips is no longer dark, something that also applies to the corner of the lips. Now that shadow is almost only present on the bottom part of the lower lip emphasizing it making it seem much bigger than before. Because of this the feline/lion-like appearance is not really lost but gives a completely different feel.
-The fangs are even more yellow and dirty now which I don't really like since we cannot change the color ourselves.
-The shape of the nose seems to have changed and if you look at it you'll see the upper part of it is now almost a straight line.
-As for the eyes I added as much eyeshadow as possible when creating my WoL so the irises standed out more but now they just look very baggy. It's only natural that a graphical update would mess with it, but I'm sad that trait is lost
In general I'd say my WoL didn't keep the charm he had on EW and now looks much less stylized than before. Sadly I don't think it's something I can "fix" with a fantasia.
Nonetheless I greatly appreciate all the work the devs are putting on this graphical update and I'm glad that many of the latest changes improved many of your characters.
