#ayway next up is probably trying to tweak each benchmark one more into something i like?

More pics of my dear pixel children. Gonna be a long post, so hiding it under a read more o7

N'jinh actually looks pretty okay on benchmark, but he's already getting his entire face redone since I want him to use different base than Hawu'li. But he has that lazy, kinda dead eyed look too :/ Like the cheeck paintings showing up better tho!

Naho is mostly better, but I don't like the kinda wet glow on her nose + will have to do some adjusting to her skintone.

Good god Yulan looks so dead behind those eyes D: Like horrifyingly empty... Benchmark also seems to make everyone into some weird yellowish hue.

Firn..... weird lighter eyebags aside (I think it's one of the face paints so it should be easy to fix at least), they stole his pretty, thick white eyelashes?? And why is his nose so dark, everyone else I've seen complains benchmark made their's too light??? (There's also some really weird graphical bug of his hair clipping really fast through that metal part of his feather hairpiece lol).

Einn is otherwise fine, but some weird graphical error eats his eye dot (it's just a tiny " / " line instead) and I have this weird feeling they made his eyes wider? Like they used to be very narrow, and now they are bigger around the middle. Also not a fan of his new lip color :/

Momo honestly rocks the new look! My only complaint is that their nose looks very different, but it honestly fits them better. Very much a fan of the more rounded chin too, but I could see some people disliking it on their characters. Also very positively surprised by the new limbal ring, it fits in better and gives their white eye a nice glow.

Meanwhile Chili looks a bit off? I loooooove the horn and scale textures, but his skin has a very weird green tinge I absolutely hate, as well as the new metal tips on horns (why same color as horns?? what's the point if I can't even see them?). His limbal rings are a bit funny with his eyecolor, so definitely have to tweak those little.

Gee, Fish, who does your mom let you have eyeshine? Honestly she's looking very nice too, can't really find anything to complain about. Extra points for finally making her mouth look better.

Ryne looks very good too, lalas are clearly the true winners here. Even her new eyecolor is closer to Ryne's. Interesting how her eyeshape seems to have changed too, but unlike Hawu'li hers actually fits her.

Hyth..... love, what on earth happened? Why is you face so round? Where did your eyebrows go? Why is you nose wider? What happened to your lips? Hydaelyn help me.... I'd almost say it's worse than Hawu'li's face changes :/

Super secret bonus: unnamed elezen base I played around with in character creation last week

Uhhhh there are some nice points, like the shade of his new lips, but I do not like how bumpy the new shadows make his face :/
