What's everyone's opinion on the new character portraits? Ill be honest, Nea, Quentin, Feng and Kate's are all good, they look good but David and Jake. No.
I get they wanted David to look like he got into a fight and has a swollen face, but to me he looks more like he is trying to be a squirrel and stuffing his cheeks full of nuts.
And Jake looks like a 40 year old wearing a really bad, cheap wig from ebay that is falling off his head. I don't feel like they have done Jake and David justice at all in their portraits.
But this is just my, whats everyone else?

Could you or someone post them here if possible? I'm not home rn and can't access the PTB yet, so I'd like for someone to post them here.
I actually liked Jake's.
David and Kate's? ooh umm.
Jake's looks excellent (no bias), Quentin and Nea look good, Feng looks alright, but they did David and Kate absolutely dirty.
Reference image for anyone who hasn't seen them.
Here's a comment I posted on another thread:
I think Jake and Feng look fine. David and Quentin look weird.
Why does Kate always get screwed? Most of the other characters have their mouths closed, and she should, too. She looks like she has a pug nose and buck teeth. And her hair looks plastic, like she's a McFarlane action figure. Kate's current live portrait is much better.
Someone at BHVR really hates my girl Kate and management needs to put her in better hands. Not even joking.
Edit: Is it a pug nose? I dunno, she certainly has a bit of the rabbit look going on, though. And her hair isn't just plastic-looking, it's also plastered to her forehead. Yuck.
When put right next to his previous profile pic, Quentin looks good. But if you look at it with no comparison, just standalone, it looks weird. BHVR really has a habit of designing long faces, it's not good.
They look incredibly out of place and awkward. Sort of an uncanny valley effect going on here imo.
Poor David what have they done to my husband
Man tried to throw hands with a beehive and lost.
Gonna cry worst patch 🏃😭
Holy crap they look awful. Jake and Quentin look good, Nea is pretty meh, but oh my god what did they do with Feng and David? They look like they got run over by a truck.
Thanks.
Jake's is great, Nea's and Quentin's are good, and David, Feng, and Kate's look like they're ripped straight from the game. But holy David looks horrible, his render was great already.
Why do they look extremely low res
Looks like they've grabbed the actual 3D models to pose them for a raw screenshot, instead of natively rendering them like with the old portraits.
Those are directly in-game screenshots I took personally in the PTB. It indeed looks like that in-game, if you were having doubts.
oh ok
I think the problem from what I can tell is that they're just using screenshots of the character models with weird lighting over them as opposed to renders with a filter over them. It's really obvious when you look at the hair.
That's just my uninformed assumption. I'm no character artist or 3D modeller, so I'm just going off my limited knowledge of how it works.
I may be wrong entirely.
Jake 😍😍
Everytime I see an update on David can't help but ask: Do the devs hate David King?
He was screwed once with his updated model, and now this portrait he looks like he has been attacked by bees! Whoever did this to him was trolling hard and the worst part is that it make it to the BETA, hopefully won't make it to the live version of the game.
They look incredibly out of place and just overall bad. It looks like the character's new faces were badly photoshopped on top of the old ones.
The old ones have a more artistic feeling towards them while the new ones is looking like they just took a picture of their models.
David is the potato face he's suppose to be
They are horrendous. Every single one. Yes, even neas.
Quentin is the only one who looks improved, imo.
They need to update lauries protrait, don't know why they didn't do it along with this batch.
Absolutely terrible.
Good thing custom portraits are a thing.
I don’t know why but someone at Behaviour really hates David, Kate and Feng.
David's looks bizarre.
I prefer the original portraits tbh, I mean Quentin's needs updated... just not that...
Think Oni and Shape could use a fresh one. Shape looks like he's made of wax and Oni looks way better in calm mode.
Are we going to talk about how Kate looks like she's got well...
I actually accidentally laughed out loud when I saw the David. He looks so... Unique.
