New portraits

Oof...some of the refreshed character model's portraits are not flattering. (I'm looking at you Ahsoka, Scav Rey and Farm Luke). Does anyone else think the proportions in portrait make their heads look strange?
  • Old Ben's is excellent, I really like it. JKA's Model looks great, but the portrait is terrible(could just be from scaling). Farmboys is atrocious. The portrait and the model. He literally has darker skin on his neck than his face, and makes me think of bad makeup. Rey's model looks good, but the portrait is terrible. Ahsoka's isn't terrible, but not great. Im noticing stuff like this too:





    ^^^ This kinda stuff just makes me go, "C'mon guys"
  • Upon further reflection, not a fan of the change to KRU- its basically SLKR's face on KRU's body. At least change it up a bit. I understand the cost savings, but c'mon.
  • KRU looks like he's sticking his head through the portrait window and it's freaking me out.

    Either change all the portraits to be uncomfortable tight closeups, or zoom out the new portraits to match the head 'n shoulders framing of the others, pretty please.
  • At the very least, they all need some small changes to fix some small problems. I have seen a bunch of people on Reddit saying they don’t like the new Ahsoka model.
  • Pros and cons here. KRU looks better. Especially the portrait is more mean.
    Rey looks like she is 11 years old and her miniature is... well. It is what it is.
    Farmboy looks older than Rey but not much. 12 yo at max:)
    JKA is better in my opinion, looks cool. Well maybe why is he leaned back so much?
    Old-Ben.. my God. I know the new face looks much more like sir Alec Guinness yes. But is also looks like the guy was drinking half of his life. Previous skin was descent neat and made him look darn good.
    And there is Ahsoka. No words on that. It's just beyond ugliness. Unbelievable what they did to her.
  • Just keep this in mind, we were able to get the Bastila one to change.....and I think a lot more people care about the model changes from the last update....
  • Rey’s new portrait makes her look like a disgruntled bobble head doll. They literally yanked her head forward but didn’t adjust the shoulders - looks terrible!

    That being said, each VU clearly has at least 1 fault to be nagged about. Poor update as a whole.

    What is the purpose of the portraits? To RECOGNIZE a character quickly. Especially in TW and TB this is essential. Now, please tell me, dear Capital Games, how exactly do you suppose we should QUICKLY see the difference between the clones? Take a quick look at Echo and ARC, for example. What? Hmmmm? Please revert the clones, at the very least. Being able to tell them apart is paramount for gameplay.
