Compiling feedback!
@Evergrey: Thanks for the vote! Was glad to see grey get at least one vote. I went into it believing that grey would be less popular opinion, but at the very least I think I identified to right tone if I were to go down that route.
@Rixas: Choosing between a grey tone or something more natural has been a long debate for me. My original Miqo'te was grey, but ultimately I decided to add more "warmth" to her appearance. Au Ra followed suit, but I've considered looping back around.
@Atoli: Oddly enough, the reddish hue is something I've been trying to stray away from, haha. It was previously more noticeable and my most recent fantasia was an attempt to pull away from that. But I do certainly appreciate the feedback about how her current appearance is less common.
@Zumi & Kaelah: Thanks for the feedback! The more natural look does seem to be the more popular opinion, but I wouldn't consider that a disappointment. There's a reason why the natural look is the appearance that I currently use.
Thanks everyone! At least for the time being I don't feel the need to change her current appearance, but I'm going to keep the grey tone on the back burner in case I ever feel compelled to change, even if only temporarily.
