7.0 Graphic Update - Lalafell Feedback (please give me back my smudge!!)

[Shibi]

Popoto looks like popoto to me. I'm not seeing any problems with the nose smudge

Too adorable

[HeyMcFly]

I'm saddened that my Lalafells lip shape has completely been changed- I would have liked it to remain the full, bowed shape - but now there's no real visual difference between the mouth/ lips shapes.
And her sweet, lost looking expression is also gone.
If the devs see this; I would ask that the unique lip shapes remain or are updated to stand out better ^^

Exact same face & presets:
Original, in game



DT Benchmark

Didn't see this thread, so I'll repost what I put in another thread since it's lala-relevant here:

The benchmark changed the shape of my character's eyes by removing the dark/heavier upper eyelids and it makes her look shell-shocked. It's a little upsetting because I recall Yoshi-p mentioning that he wanted to move away from characters having "empty dead-eyed" stares and to me it seems like some fundamental eye shape change has inadvertently caused what he was wanting to avoid. I rather enjoyed that my character held a kind of "aloof" or "bemused" expression that made it seem like she was always quietly thinking to herself.

I have the benchmark photo (left), an edit I drew the heavier eyelids onto (right), and the original/before (center). I feel silly because it's just a game I don't usually care to make a fuss over or be a nuisance about.



I'd like it if the update could retain the original characteristic of her eyes and appreciate the hard work of the developers.

Sorry for doing a second post that's essentially the same as the previous one.
After a night's worth of sleep and drying most of my tears, I decided it may be sensible to be as specific as possible with what I'd like to see changed.

I think it's a fair compromise between the existing version and what they were going for with the updated look in the benchmark, and hope this or another post in the same spirit gets through to the developers before changes are finalized.



Another thing I take slight issue with is the apparent thin-ness of the new ears. They look a lot less sturdy than the previous design, which to me feels out of place for Lalafell. But this is a low-priority complaint, and I'm sure a lot of people will prefer the newer, more detailed version.

Thank you for reading.

After the disappointment that was my bunboy, I'm really happy with my lala!
She looks pretty much the same. The eyes is the only part that looks off to me, they seem more rounded which, combined with the straight mouth, gives her a weird shell-shocked look? She also seems more dead inside but I think that's just the bad character customization lighting because she doesn't look as weird during the benchmark.

I wonder if it would look better if they haven’t removed the catchlight? The upper part of the eye is a bit darker, but I think the dot being missing is what really makes it seem like a glazed over look.

I’m mostly sad about the lips, because after fiddling with lip colors, it just doesn’t seem like they’re as full and wide as they used to be. And on a tiny race, that’s really noticeable!

I think my only issue with my lala is how much his eyelashes were nerfed - they were quite bushy before and now they are straightened / almost gone.

I like some changes, but the mouth looks weird and the eye shadow shape is different. I like the pupils though, they looks nice.
Her skin is so pale in the new lighting, I might have to change the update.
Left = 6.0 | Right = Dawntrail benchmark.

I like some of the changes but some just look really bad
