A better future: Jinjing-New (Patreon)

I really wanted to make this a big surprise, I really did; just suddenly drop an "intro" piece showing this, but alas, I could not decide on one damn thing, so here's a poll.

Remember that thing I told you about where I wanted to upgrade all my older characters?

IT HAS BEGUN AND JINJING-YU SHALL BE THE FIRST

Here's a before:

And here's an after:

Also a face closeup!
Before:

After:

I knew I could make the chars better, but I didn't know the difference would be this huge, and this good. ;3; It took me something like a week, or possibly over a week, to finish her, and at least half of that time I spent working only on the hair. :^D JESUIS CHRISTMAS THE HAIR

But now it looks much better, it's much more efficient, and much easier to work with! :D I can still see a couple of ways to improve it, but that can wait. XD

Other than the hair, I've obviously improved the anatomy, gave her a better definition of most features, removed the ridiculously stupid hand pads (finger pads stay tho), made her head a normal shape instead of a goddamn balloon, added a lot of life to her face, and topped it all off with texture and shader balancing. I should probably redo some elements of the textures, but I figured they worked fine after some minor tweaks.

She's so cute now. ;3;

Anyway, the poll!

She has whiskers now, but I can't decide if I want them. I've asked all my friends - some love them, some hate them, so now it is time to ask a wider audience. This means you.

Also note that should you decide against them, I will also remove the little divots that they grow out of. But if you'll want them to stay, I will include the divots in the textures, which will make them look much better than they do now. They're barely noticeable as they are, but I promise you the ARE there, as evidenced by this normal pass view:

So do the whiskers stay or not?

P.S. I will use the responses from this poll for any other characters who should have whiskers, but don't right now.
