Here's my WoL. On the left is the benchmark, on the right is live. I've tried to match lighting/position as best as possible. His options are:
Wildwood Elezen Male
Height 38
Skin color: 1,1
Hair color: 12,6 | Highlights 12, 4
Face: 2
Jaw: 1
Eyes: 4
Iris size: Large
Eye color: 19, 2
Brows: 4
Nose: 4
Mouth: 4
Lip color: None
Ear shape: 1
Ear size: 100
Ear clasp color: 1, 7
Look how dead and lifeless his eyes look. He's in direct sun - There should be plenty of light reflecting in his eyes, but there's basically none. The catchlights on male elezen in particular, and really everyone, need to be turned WAY up. Dynamic is a great idea! But even in indirect light you still get light bouncing into your eye and reflecting. Make it more the size it was before and keep it from getting eaten by the new eyelashes and sure.
But those dead eyes aren't all, oh no.
- His chin is different, and you see it even more in the side shot below how much the profile has changed.
- His nose is narrower and shorter.
- The lip shape has changed significantly.
- The eyebrows are different, especially at the outer point.
- The eyes are different. The shape has changed. Someone's given him botox and concealer, where are the darker shades around his eyes? And the lines? And of course the catchlights...
- The ears are different. The tips are shaped differently, the folds of the ear itself appear differently.
- The ear clasps have changed shape and color. They also don't sit right.
- His skin color has changed.
- His hair is duller and feels darker.
Side and inside shots:
Look at that chin and nose.
You can see the lip shape better here I think. And his eyes have more light reflection inside than outside.
But it's not just my WoL getting hit, of course, it's everyone. Even your favorite NPCs! Look at poor Haurchefant here:
It's so painful.
A final bit of pain:
An adventurous smirk looks creepier and more terrifying than my WoL literally being possessed.
This is not my WoL, devs. I don't know who this person is, but he's not the character I've loved for years. Please don't take my beloved WoL from me.
