Firstly I want to apologise if my wording isn't great or if I use the wrong terms. Feel free to correct me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hopefully this won't be immediately buried :)

With the new graphics update now out, something that I've felt strongly about for years. I hope I am not alone.
I will try to cover related topics on character customization & perhaps how to improve what's already there.

The reason I felt like bringing this all up, is with the graphics "update" it makes the existing options/ choices feel even more outdated. And the update makes it more evident that it could use some dusting off.
Also: It's 100% okay if you like it as is, in that case this isn't aimed at those who are content with what we have, but please feel free to drop your thoughts!

-Selecting more than one face paints simultaneously
A given number? Perhaps four is reasonable I should think. Let me know your thoughts or how that could be different or improved.
It would look/work like this for example: Blush + freckles + & two autonomous eye shadow choices that count separate. (the color swatch can be separate or together.)

-
Eyebrow hair - give us multichoice.
A separate category that exists within the 'eyebrow' choice that reveals actual eyebrow hair from thin & sparse, patchy, to medium and drawn on perfection, to strong or hairy & grandpa like.​
Why is it that we can choose brow shape/angle but not add in additional hairs than the one choice given under facial features only applicable for some faces/races.

-Swapping the side at which the hair parts.
It would be a positive & interesting change.
The reason for me: many pretty earrings are featured on the left ear but the bane of even noticing them is how many 'down' hairstyles cover the left ear! So this is a personal one for me: I like many of the earring designs and I enjoy seeing them on my character. It sucks that I am delegated to a 'few' hairstyles because of this.


-More racially unique hairstyles.
-With the addition of female Hrothgar having a severe lack of racially unique hairstyles & why haven't there been any additional racial unique hairstyles added to existing races over the years? or even a touch up of some sort. Two or three juicy/aesthetically pleasing hairs added I think would help the older races feel slightly revamped atp. I know it's less than a shot in the dark, but it's definitely something that I wish would be addressed.

Slightly improved skin tone.
-natural flush on the cheeks, ears, nose & chin.
-Natural highlight & just generally more 'fleshy'.
-Darker skin tones need more 'life' + pale palms and feet.
