Benchmark/Graphics Update - Show your WoL's before and after

[FuturePastNow]

The change to the shape of the nose is significant. And not just smoothing out the angle on the tip, but a completely different nose. The eyes and eyebrows look different to me, the lips look bad, the hair has less color. I dunno, she just looks angry. I'm not a fan.

Overall I like the updated graphics on my character. I've done a lot of Gposing and seen my character in many different lighting conditions, and it does still look like the same character to me, even with some differences from the current character creator look.
-The tail of the eyebrow is a little different in shape. Personally I like it, but I can understand a change like that being jarring to other people when there's no option more similar to the old.
-In the current game, strong overhead lighting is especially my bane, and looks weird on my character's eyelids. That seems a lot improved in the benchmark (picture 2).
-However, the lips seem less glossy to me in the benchmark, and I would've liked to see them a little less matte. But my biggest criticism which I can find no strong enough reason to change, is the fangs of Moon Keeper Miqo'te being shortened and widened (As you can see, they aren't even showing past the lips in picture 3).

Looks more handsome, but he's lost alot of character imo. Lost detail too

Male Elezen are such a W with this update. I thought they were very handsome before, but after they became just dreamy! Yours is amazing looking!

Dawntrail Benchmark:

Looks cleaner on new one, but change in lips seems like downgrade. Hair also doesn't look as blue anymore, has more of green tint in it vs old being blue with green highlights.
Also seems like the feet were fixed in dawntrail. Hopefully that applies to all feet so your feet don't look like blobs anymore.

One of my mains (a male Keeper) made it through all right, but my lizard... my poor lizard...
