Current on left, Benchmark on right.





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).
