I really like the papyrus script you created for Starfield, however, I must express my opinion when I witness this preset. Although Asian faces like this still exist (even today, one can still spot them in Chinatown), the stereotypical image of Chinese and Vietnamese people in most Westerners' minds is still largely based on the appearances of people during poverty and famine in the 1950s, including some early Chinese immigrants. After 70 years of racial integration and changes in the modern nutritional diet structure, present-day Chinese women, as of 2023, no longer resemble the same as 70 years ago. I live in this country where I frequently encounter young women who glimmer like idols in KPOP music videos. A fun result can be found if search Chinese beauties on TikTok. Regardless, it's up to you. If you're attracted to this kind Looking forward to more of your works!
I've been to China many times and while you make a point, from my experience the average Chinese woman does look more like this preset and less like those "Instagram Girls" you have in that video you posted. Most of the ones in that video have tons of makeup on and are using hella filters. If you go to China you will see many many different faces indeed but that "western idea" you speak of is still very evident in reality. I recommend that you travel there and see for yourself. I have enjoyed every vacation I've taken there. I've Also been to Japan and Korea and I can say that what I'm saying also holds true in those countries as well. I have never been to Vietnam though so I can't speak for there but judging by the people from there that I follow on TikTok live I can say that you're definitely right about Vietnam. As really none of them look like the stereotype we Americans have about them. But that's a very small sample size, so likely if you or I were to travel there we would probably come to a different conclusion.
So, I want to clear up a few things about this preset. This preset is modeled after people I know in real life. It is not meant to stereotype, but it inevitably will since I do try to take in a generalization of a Chinese appearance in order to make it more authentic. I have seen people that look like the mod you linked to, but I personally think this looks very unnatural; these girls have definitely had some plastic surgery.
I intentionally made the face very round to give a youthful and healthy appearance, as well as widening the waist to the maximum, so I hope you do not think this preset looks malnourished. The eyes are mono-lid, but that is because it is historically common within China, so I am happy with the eye shape. The eye size within China can vary wildly. The eye size is a bit on the smaller side in this preset, due to my personal preference, but that can be easily changed with the slider.
For me, the goal was to create something natural looking, but not necessarily something "present-day." Of course, no two people will look the same, but I hoped to create something that will provide a good starting point for people who want to create a character with a Chinese look.
If the point is most ordinary woman in China, then I think most white woman I've seen should be like this. Why didn't any author create a preset such this ?
Sounds great！ If possible, I would also like to see some African -American face presets, such as the actor Halle Bailey I particularly love Looking forward to it :)

One of the best Asian presets, on my opinion. I use with "Dragonwood Pugilist Outfit" and it fits so perfectly it's unbelievable.
THANK YOU!
你覺得丑就不用。我覺得長得好看。在中國Gen-Z喜歡這樣子，比較像ABC.

Can you remake this with a high poly head mod?
