I am so glad you’re broadening character creation, and I really appreciate the uniqueness and variety you’ve been putting into it. However, there are some aesthetic issues I have noticed, which really ought to be considered.
Take hair on the charr. With the exception of the Rox hair, the new charr hairs look stiff and unnatural. The picture below illustrates my point. As you can see, the old hair looks very natural—the individual strands are soft and fluffy, and it has a nice textured feel.
As for the new hair, it looks stiff, like it’s made of plastic. The individual strands are much thicker and more cartoonish, and the hair overall is much too shiny—like it’s been heavily greased. Ultimately, it looks more like a wig than real hair. I think this could be a great style, but you need to give it a more natural look—remove the shiny sheen and texture it so it falls a bit more naturally along the curve of the neck.
To other players: what other improvements could be made?
