New shots from the dev blog showing updated character creating goodness!

Hey guys!
Fernehalwes here.

We've received a two-tonze truckload of feedback on character creation since the alpha test, and from what I saw in today's build, much has changed since then. If you thought there were a lot of options before, wait until you see all the new ways to customize your avatar, including...

An extended hair color palette, plus a plethora of playful tattoos.

Several new hairstyles for men...

Several new hairstyles for women, including...OMG! Long hair options! And is that a SLIDER on the right for ear size!?
[Image: JP20130517_3.jpg]

And a slider for height!? What else could there be a slider for!?!??
[Image: JP20130517_4.jpg]

And purple whiskers!? And purple eyes!?
[Image: JP20130517_6.jpg]

And OH MY GOD MY EYES THE RED IT BURNS!
[Image: JP20130517_5.jpg]

Get ready to let your imagination run wild!

Fernehalwes.

Awesome! More options, more diversity. Although I still feel a color wheel would have been a little more beneficial, those swabs do seem to have more color options than before. And those hair styles! Awesome! Can't wait to play with the character creation!

This is awesome. So much more customization. I'm looking forward to seeing people's characters.

The height slider is great, but I wish they would add in a number for the height as well, so you can get the exact height you want instead of just trying to guess.

I was pondering over that too. If the average/min/max are all the same, than the results from our first study should be consistent, but that will need to be tested. Though I think someone had some clever ideas for whipping up a nice'n'easy graphic to display the whole thing so another round of screencapping might happen. I suppose it's also possible that the same 5 options are now just on a slider instead of a text selection. I suppose we'll find out for sure soon enough.

What really piques my interest is that it looks like there is a TON of hairstyles to choose from now, going by that second screenshot and the fact that the 12 styles in focus may take up only 15-20% of the available options~

This is great news! I cannot wait to mix and match all sorts of appearance characteristics. I'll be in character creator for days trying to form Bhav's look haha.

This is awesome. This is beyond awesome. But it's also kind of depressing. I thought I knew what I wanted to look like, but now with all these options I have to spend at least two extra hours in the character creator... and I have a new character idea so that's like four hours. 

I'll be sure to RP with you guys in a year when I'm done exploring all my character appearance options.

I will also be spending hours creating my character. Im really hoping to get into phase 3 so I can get a rough idea of what my character will look like.
