Something about the retextured squint or smile changed the expression. The original face looks stern, maybe even angry, which is why I always preferred it. The new one looks neutral.

I can see what u mean, like the upper cheek seems more relaxed, under the eyes, resulting in a little less cruel gnome stare, a little bit rounder tops of the eyes too result in that, the low pixel flat line on the left on the top of the eye

The original also has less space between the eyes and inner eyebrows, making the eyebrows look more furrowed.

god its amazing the billions of happy accidents that came from the origional eq art, imagine them spending this much time on textures, they probubly spent half as much as you have by now already lol and somehow they made pure magic.

this game was not made by humans but magicians

Doubtful. A team of artists such as those in Verant Interactive working around the clock for a week or two would likely be more man-hours than we've spent in total. And I'm sure all of the artwork in EQ took more than a couple weeks of development.

im trying to pay you a complement!

but it is worth noting they changed the character art and much of the background art rapidly before release, so you'd be surprised.

That yellow shield is looking awesome, now, a very true HD rendition!

The yellow part is looking great too, I was worried it might be tricky to get right.

Nice job lads!
