The first image was taken in the current live game, ignore the cheek tattoo, but she looks cute right?



The second image was taken in the dawntrail benchmark. As you can see the character lighting is turned way up for some reason.



But notice the eyebrows? Their grey and look weird, like they were stuck on her face, even in other lighting conditions it still looks grey and weird, compared to the first image.

The eyes look visbly more open, if you look at the pupils (the dark bit) their shown fully, whereas in the first image it is ever so slightly cut off at the top, giving the eyes a more almond like shape, and cuter imo compared to the update.

The eyes also have a fake eyeshadow above them, and a shadow covering the top of the eye itself, it looks weird and i don't like it personally. The eyes also look dead which alot of people have complained about.

The lips have no shine to them, very matte, unlike the first image, but that could be due to the character lighting being turned up, as it washes out gloss effects i think.

These things are very noticeable, there is no way you cannot see the differences between the images, the eyebrows especially, and the weird eyeshadows. My character looks way less cute in the update compared to live and i hope it gets addressed.
I have a little conspiracy theory they might have forced character lighting on to hide that they did not in fact fix self-shadows in stark light, but we will see. If the option to change character light disappears in 7.0 I can guess why.
