I've had a little time to think about this and sort some of my feelings after we got DT benchmark 1 and then the updated benchmark, pre-release and now upon full release of dawntrail.
I designed her to be boyish, a little more androgynous because she's meant to be very tomboyish and non-binary (gender ambiguous) and I liked that when I first made her but after the graphical update I get such strong "uncanny valley" feelings when I see my character in the character select screen, it is unnerving...Not sure if this can be fixed?
I wrote down some of my thoughts on the face update but I wish some elements of the face were kept in the graphical update from the old. I barely recognize my character anymore and I feel discouraged to even pick up playing her again. I know it might grow on me but for right now I don't even recognize my own character.
I redrew the face over the model, I know it is not the exact 1:1 same angle of the face but I think by redrawing what I see you understand what I'm seeing.
I don't want this post to be a huge dump though but what I can say is I'm exceptionally happy with a lot of the graphical updates for male aura!
Anyways thank you for your time!
