changes:- mouth looks like it's smiling, less serious and more cat-shaped in the benchmark
- eyes look more slim with the heavy shadow, less lively and more tired
- eyebrow shape changed to be slightly wavy, being less expressive and more thin than before (thick eyebrows are turned on for this character)
- eyelid form has changed and is more round now (which further changes the expression)
- shadows under the eyebrows got lighten up, making the character look less serious and more calm

the biggest issue i have are the smiling mouth and the dead eyes since they are the reason the character's vibe has completely changed
Male Miqo'te Face 1 changes
There are still some differences that I'm not satisfied with yet. Here are the comparisons with the current in-game character design and Benchmark 1.1.
Eyes: The benchmark eyes have a more frosted glass-like, and the current patch has a more beautiful glow within the iris at night. Benchmark 1.1 eyelids give a more droopy look up close.
Lips: There's a catlike upward curl on the lips. I'm realizing I like my character looking dead on the inside more lol! who agrees?
Face in general: Is it the lighting? The benchmark face 1 and neck look fuller as well, less of a baby face and more manly. It's preferences, but not accurate to current creation. I'm seeing that folks have conflicts with benchmark making their character look more twinky, and I'm trying to retain my baby face and less manly lol.
Background: Also, the blue night sky might not be as realistic but it's more beautiful.
