Castanic Graphical Oversight?

So I love the Castanic race (female, duh), but there's one characteristic that I can't quite understand if it's purposefully like this or if it's just a simple oversight and is something that could use some touching up.

When I created my character I chose a duller, less red skin color. It was a more dull brown-ish color because it just tickled my fancy as opposed to going with "typical" bright red skin tone that Castanics generally appear to sport. However...the character *in* the game does not represent the character that I was staring at in the character creation screen and I will show you how. My only disappointment is that it took me a bit too long down the leveling process to notice this for me to bother remaking...



What you will see here is that the face appears to be bright red, as if its completely unaffected by the skin tone I actually *chose* when I created my character, while the rest of the body *does* reflect the skin tone I desired. It makes for a very awkward look in outfits and gear that show a decent amount of both the body and the face (which is a lot of the Castanic outfits). Here's another...



As you can see it appears as if they are wearing a complete mask of sunburn.

This is minor in the grand scheme of things but its something that, as an aesthetics type of gamer, really sort of gets on my visual nerve. I would pay for a character customization to either make her entire skin tone the same shade of red shown here on her face, or to pick a skin tone that may not be bugged apparently like mine. I really hope a character re-customization type feature will be offered in the very near feature, and at least maybe a barbershop of some sort. Although I do love the hairstyle I picked, I am a switcher type, and sometimes feel different hairstyles at different times.

If EME was going to do something soon about having added new customization options to a few of the races so that we could do a little touching up, I would use that to make the changes I feel are needed...either way...thanks for listening.

Yeah. Its the same on my human female. Her face os a different colour than her body is. Did I miss a colour option in the character creator?

It looks like blush to me.
I think its the face makeup with the lighting of the game.

Does this look anything like my actual character turned out? This is the exact option setup I used to create my character, and what I clicked "Finish" to accept.

See the difference? I fail to see how in the creator it's visually apparent that my character will always look sunburned on her face.

Her face gets more sun, of course her body will be a bit more paler.

In castanic clothing, there's hardly a body part that doesn't get sun. :P
