Has so much changed between current Gwen and that one ? I mean, I have not noticed a lot of morphological difference... Maybe slightly more perfect but I wasn't honestly sure if it was just the portrait itself or the actual sculpt... I may be wrong of course but I really doubt that people will notice the difference. I'm myself extremely picky about that kind of things - I mean, to a point where it's not good neither for me or my character - and I was not even sure something had changed beyond the pose and the hair color and cosmetics.
Would you have made the resculpt ingame without telling it around I would probably just have thought it was a cosmetic and portrait change, with Gwen dying her hair. Don't forget that other players do not see everything of one's character. They don't spend their time modifying this or that or trying to make another portrait. They do not have the tool and the character under their hands to notice such differences.
I honestly doubt that a lot of people, or anyone for that matter, have noticed the few free resculpts I have done for Lyn over the time (after the first ones just after Incarna and the one when they unlocked lighter skin tones). Have you noticed the last one ? It occurred not even a year ago. People mostly notice heavy changes or just usual haircut/hair color changes, since a single portrait can change literally EVERYTHING. A character can look 100% like another one with a different lighting and pose.
So, if you really do a resculpt, I can assure you that the only thing I might notice is the hair color, and you can do your resculpt without even changing the hair color and nobody will notice, or i'm being really optimistic I don't know...

Also no I don't think I would change Lyn's design, I am mostly happy with the design itself, I just happen to think that other bloodlines are A LOT BETTER suited to it. Just considering the pain I had to go through to make a brutor look like that, and I am still unhappy with traits I can't get rid of, mostly cheekbones.
I have often thought that if I could change her bloodline I would do it gladly, but somehow now having tried other ones I understand now that the current result I have is 10 times better than something done from scratch again (especially portrait/pose wise). I would need another couple of years of work to make them shine, especially for the portrait, which is the most delicate part ever. But these new experiments are still 10 times better than the first Lyns I did after Incarna (not taking Incarna beta into account ofc).
Of course I still am not happy with the result I have, as always. That's why I am always changing haircuts. vOv
She never had a ponytail though ?
