I actually like most of the changes but I think male miqo’tes in particular were done dirty.

The difference in eye color is really upsetting to me. I tried lightening his eye color but there’s no recreating that shade of blue. Taking away the static catchlights and making the shadows darker really deadens the eyes. And I don’t even know what to say about the mouth. I’m used to the :3 mouth on face 3 but the shape and shading are so different now it kills the character. He’s supposed to be just a silly little guy but the update is taking that away. I’ll never change my character, I’ll live with it, but I’m pretty sad about it. Oh and what the hell is happening to highlights on different hairstyles? My boy’s look awful now, like he’s been practicing pictomancy and needs a shower, and I’ve seen other posts complaining about highlights too. It’s discouraging.
