Ideas
the eyes look very intense in ultra settings, but on low they look more normal, and I cant pin why -- I think the dark circles are the same tone -- maybe its the skin complexion being softer in low because the textures are lower res? IDK, but I kind of like how low looks in this situation, and I wish that look was maintained in ultra in all situations but instead whatever is happening in ultra makes the face super "intense" and not as relaxed.
Most people seem to think the dark circles should be reduced somewhat, maybe that's the solution? dark circles look really good on most masculine characters - those character types really been brought to life this update
I dont think the issue is with darkness/paleness on the eyelids (that's natural) but it looks like there's a larger broad shadow around the eyes maybe that is making things look weird
I like the face changes but I think it can be improved marginally
