Female Au Ra Face 4 - Benchmark Feedback
The graphics update looks great! However I think they really dropped the ball with Face 4 female Au Ra. They NAILED the scale and horn textures on Face 1 with rough, jagged ridges and points, but Face 4 just looks dopey by comparison due to the softer/smoother face scales and horns, among a few other issues.
I'd suggest changing up a few things to make it look less silly and more in line with what's currently ingame:
-Smaller pupils
-Horns less cylindrical, more diamond shaped; rough and ridged
-Sharper tips on face scales and horns
-Less depth around mouth corners and a smoother nose transition
What do you think?

(And here's how my char looks now vs how she looks in the benchmark. It's not pretty! https://imgur.com/a/sMiUl7m)
Lips look like they've been filled, massive issues with how this changes her look
Just wanted to add my thoughts in the hopes that it'll get changed.
I use au ra face 4, mouth 2, eyebrows 3.
The shape of the mouth has completely changed, and it makes the character's whole face look different.

This makes it look like she's gone for a lip filler. It makes her face look puffy and fake. Honestly, it makes me feel kind of icky, because it's like she's been edited to adhere to some kind of doll-like beauty standard - like she's been made to seem more cutesy and rounded, as if a load of botox and filler has been forced on her.
Additionally, the angle of the eyebrows has been relaxed, making her look less stern.

Also, her nose (nose 1) has been turned up.
Essentially it feels like the lips, nose, and eyebrows have been switched to another kind - the lips most of all. I'm very unhappy. I don't want to play a softened, beautified version of my au ra who's pouting at me all the time. I want the shapes of her features to remain consistent with those I originally chose.
