7.0 Graphic Update - Lalafell Feedback (please give me back my smudge!!)
How are we feeling, Lalafell WoLs? I was very optimistic about the graphics update while viewing all the pre-release material, but now that we finally get to play with the new character creator...Personally, I'm really not happy.

My skin color is much greener, but I'm sure I can find a different skintone closer to the old one. I'm also not a fan of the thinner eyebrows/upper eye-lashes, but I can live with that. What I can't abide by, however, is that they stole the dark smudge on my nose!! While it's still technically a facial feature, the difference between smudge/no smudge is much harder to see now. ...but only for females.

The males got to keep their darker noses! I don't want to use a Fantasia in order to keep mine. In general, the girls' face is SO SHINY compared to the boys', and I don't understand why. Are we just assuming that because my WoL's a female, she moisturizes hourly? This gender difference seems extremely arbitrary. Devs, please tone down the shine and give back my dark nose. This part is probably not feasible, but something that would be ideal is if we could get the "light, dark, none" toggle for this particular facial feature, like we have for face paint and lip color.
EDIT 6/3/24: The smudge has been restored! <3

that smile, that damned smile
yeah im with everyone else here
wide-open eyes (benchmark) vs. half-opened/suspended eyelids (current)
Didn't see this thread, so I'll repost what I put in another thread since it's lala-relevant here:
The benchmark changed the shape of my character's eyes by removing the dark/heavier upper eyelids and it makes her look shell-shocked. It's a little upsetting because I recall Yoshi-p mentioning that he wanted to move away from characters having "empty dead-eyed" stares and to me it seems like some fundamental eye shape change has inadvertently caused what he was wanting to avoid. I rather enjoyed that my character held a kind of "aloof" or "bemused" expression that made it seem like she was always quietly thinking to herself.
I have the benchmark photo (left), an edit I drew the heavier eyelids onto (right), and the original/before (center). I feel silly because it's just a game I don't usually care to make a fuss over or be a nuisance about.

I'd like it if the update could retain the original characteristic of her eyes and appreciate the hard work of the developers.
