I had the time tonight to grab hold of more extensive comparison shots specifically to highlight the change in lips and eyes.

Here is my Duskwight. I lightened his skin for visualization purposes. I also traced over the mouth and eyes to show shape as well as shadows. I did the profile too, because (to no one's surprise) changing the lips and eyes alters a profile. I also found in this process that they seemed to stretch the face and shave the nose and chin.

I think the universal application of the Wildwood textures to all Elezen might be the culprit for some of the eye changes, here. But not all. And I know more polygons means smoother features. But that chin shave is so sad (so is the loss of the nose hook.)

These are factually not the same features. They have entirely different implications (ethnically, aesthetically, mood-wise, etc.) Also the quality, in my opinion, is worse. The lip line and waterline are so pixelated, it hurts.
