I never noticed how outright comically pinheaded and strange elezen were until playing around with the creator more. (Seriously, it's especially noticeable with the round, cute face--the only elezen I've made prior to this have been more on the haughty side.) They're almost... like small-headed aliens. I mean I like elezen but those proportions... It makes you feel like Estinien might beam down an abduct you in your sleep.

Doing more with less is always the best. I worry about how the workload would be even just tweaking the neck/arm lengths and adding a little bit of girth, but it's better than making an entire body from scratch. (Really, that neck is the most egregious thing--it makes the odd head/shoulder ratio all the more obvious. Even just fixing that might make the body look almost totally different...)
They already gave the Viera females the Elezens rightful rework. Why wouldn't they do the same for the males?
