I was messing around with Miqo CC & immediately noticed how the Keepers have something missing- their nostrils! Unlike their gender counterpart or Seekers of the sun, the 1st 2 female Keeper of the Moon faces are lacking the shadow/ darkening for nostrils.
I was wondering if this was a bug/ unfinished & just forgotten because it certainly looks that way IMO & would look better if they were actually finished or improved upon by one day having the same features as the rest of their faces (like darkened nostrils)
What do you think?
These are the Same faces (face 1) but top is from Keepers of the moon
Bottom is Seekers of the Sun

The better to not smell the stinky moon boys with, my dear.
(In all seriousness I don’t see a difference :x) -
03-14-2020, 11:54 PMHeyMcFlythey're probably super stinky, too- maybe it was the safest callQuote:

The devs design choice and probably a way to make the clans slightly different from each other. Much like how The Lost Hrothgars don't have built-in facial markings while Helions do.

Game is literally unplayable until this gets fixed

There is a subtle difference, I don't care for non human races because there is always something that should and could be improved to me. what bothers me and one of the reasons i don't play miqo/hrothgar races aside from hating their stubby tails, is the lack of being able to choose ear shape and size. I do wish there could be a slight reshade/revamp on all skins types for a slightly higher detail so they're not just one flesh tone. It's probably something to do with SE trying to have subtle differences between them, it's probably the artists' eye in you seeing it while others are focusing on their breast sizes and basic skimpy outfits.

03-15-2020, 02:50 PMSturmChurroI went and did my own research in the creator. It seems keepers of the moon do in fact have no darkened texture nostril texture BUT only on face 1 and face 2. Face 3, and face 4 both have darkened nostrils.Quote:

That's maybe because Moon Keepers have a bit more grayish skin tone, and in result the same color nostril for them isn't as noticeable as for Seekers. And in case with other faces where it's fine maybe it was made darker to begin with?
-
03-15-2020, 09:28 PMIscahPeople keep saying this, but there is definitely subtle variation in skin tone - maybe more for some races than others, but it seems to come out a bit wrong on my green-skinned Roegadyn who has a definite peach tinge in some places (around eyes, inner ears, fingertips, etc). I assume it's meant to be subtle shading on a normal skin colour, but hasn't been adjusted properly.Quote:

Nostrils?? Does anyone actually look at their characters' face that closely after they're done with the creation screens?

Some Au Ra lack proper nostrils, I swear.
But yeah, there is def. a lack of shading there, I’m lucky that the face I like does have shading (I think) -

Oh, I never noticed that. :O I like it, and I'm sure it makes character's look slightly different from one another, which I like.

Doesn't matter. we Keepers have fangs and better eyes.

03-18-2020, 10:41 AMHeyMcFlyWhen you're creating your character, I'd imagine most (not all) tend to pay attention to their characters face since it's you know, apart of character customization. That's why the pictures are of the character in the CC screen.Quote:

For myself, I actually try to like my character, so the answer is Yes. I do pay close attention to certain details.
