New default characters are inaccurate

An entire cast of new default characters, and an updated Alex & Steve have been introduced in this beta. However, they're made with the character creator, even though they were all based on skins. This causes a bunch of visual issues and mismatches, some more severe than others.

Common issues within all of them:

  • Less saturated skin and hair;

  • Loss of skin detail, mainly around the forehead;

  • Inconsistent contrast between different shades of the same color.

Character specific issues:

  • Alex: Doesn't match the updated Java Edition design in the skin details, pants and boots, skin color is too light.

  • Noor: Skin tone is too grayish, eyes aren't dark enough;

  • Ari: Skin tone looks sunburnt;

  • Sunny: Skin tone is too dark and reddish ("Medium light - Deep" skin tone would be more accurate);

  • Makena: Skin tone is bordering gray, mouth is reddish;

  • Efe: Mostly the common general issues;

  • Zuri: Most severe case of loss of skin detail, brighter skin shades are desaturated and have too little contrast.

  • Kai: Mostly the common general issues;

  • Steve: Doesn't match the updated Java Edition design at all.

Can confirm, characters are very visually different from their pictures.

Affects the current full release, 1.19.50, as well as the  preview 1.19.60.22. 

Can also confirm. I originally thought it was just Steve that looked off. I had no idea it was all of them.

Same here no more og Steve then 😞

Is this still an issue for you?

It's still an issue. No changes have been made since the new default characters were added.

Man, this issue remains unfixed after over two years! This is annoying!
