So. For one of my characters, I use the last face option for Asura. I like it, it’s got a lot of expressive potential [I think that it can be made into the angriest face out of all of them, but also the most happy or wide-eyed curious type.]
But there is also one thing that bugs me about the face. On the darker skin colors, the skin around the mouth and nose is lighter. On it’s own that wouldn’t bug me. But for some reason above the upper lip, and below the nose there appears to be a shimmer/sleekness that causes that particular face to mistakenly have the appearance of -huge- lips. Or that he’s perpetually making the ‘duck face’.
As of this moment, I have been unable to find a way to mask that or over it up [with the exception of face covering head gear, but I don’t want that.] I bring this up in hopes that somehow Anet takes a look at this and gives it a minor tune up. Not a priority, but it’d be nice.
Included are two images, one set to ‘Best Appearance’ and another set to my computers ‘auto-detect- settings. In both it’s possible to see that lighter spot above the lip.
This might get moved to Suggestions, not sure. But did want to make other Asura players aware of this, incase they wanted to make a dark skinned asura with the last face option. Beware, you’ll have duck-face!
