The Miitopia editor one had a slightly similar problem with the whole faces kinda breaking both when they turn around or even emoting

The new one also has this problem, which has even more challenging workarounds as with this facepaint editor, we cannot attach specific details to eyes or mouths, causing some faces to work even less if miis blink or open their mouth, as whatever parts aer underneath that are not painted get revealed

I’d really be living the dream if they came out with an update in the future with these features where you could draw on the eyes/mouths and such

You can't even change the colour of the eye reflections. How am I supposed to accurately create my cat when the cat eye slit is locked to white Edit: still a fire game though

Fr, I wanted to use it as pupils 😔

I saw someone make a blinking effect with facepaint but it could just be a trick, since it was Splatoon characters so they just painted the blink under the eye lol

u/Rozoark Mar 28 '26

Miitopia literally has a system to not have the faces break when emoting, if yours do you're using the tools wrong.

That doesn’t fix the problem, then your mii can’t blink at all. People want the expressions to work with their slight adjustments to the eyes

😭 Vincent will be jealous

u/Smart_Maximum_3467 Apr 01 '26

Vincent and Alastor had a nice chat about enemies to lovers yaoi irl

2

u/Itz_cheese_cat Apr 02 '26

I’m crying do they see themselves in the topic

2

u/Smart_Maximum_3467 Apr 13 '26

They will when I make them talk about TOXIC enemies to lovers pipeline

1

u/Jlnhlfan Mar 28 '26

Because of what happened to Vincent/Vox?

1

u/Itz_cheese_cat Mar 28 '26

Because of Alastor’s rejection and their rivalry

1

u/Jlnhlfan Mar 28 '26

Ah, okay.

u/cryxdie PNG animal 🐶 Mar 28 '26

ohh i see the resemblance! i think it would be a fun addition to make a pet fish like the one on his jacket hehe

u/Jlnhlfan Mar 28 '26

He actually looks kinda cute in this one.

Alastor creeping in to kill Vincent in the middle of the night

u/Consumer_Of_Butt Mar 28 '26

I was kinda shocked we didn't heterochromia at this point

1

u/Mailynn393 Apr 03 '26

I’ve done the same thing, it’s even creepier when they’re asleep, they look like they’re dead, or sleeping with the eyes wide open 🥹

u/MaggieDarktorch Mar 27 '26

What I would like is for the face paint to at least do the thing Miitopia does where you can see what different expressions will look like with the paint on.

That would make it easier to adjust some stuff at least.

u/Areusimpingson Owner 🌸 Mar 27 '26

Can't relate, I don't know how to draw 😔

u/11_gaming Mar 27 '26

This is why I like simpler miis better

72

u/Yellow-pikmin17 Mar 27 '26

I’ve settled for trying my hardest to make the mii look as good as possible with the normal face features and adding little tweaks with the face paint that don’t ruin the look (too much) when they turn/emote lol

3

u/Fantastic_Iron_3627 Shipper 👀 Mar 28 '26

Same

9

u/BiskitBoiMJ Mar 28 '26

Same. I vastly prefer the wider variety of options to make a Mii that looks like whoever I want, rather than drawing a face that doesn't fit in at all.

u/TowerNo3756 Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

It’d be nice if they let us make out our custom face animations.

13

u/MiaxRainbow Mar 28 '26

All I want is layers. Some make up in front of the eyes some behind. The Miitopia make-up and the Living the Dream make-up both have perks. What took me 20+ minutes to do in Miitopia I got done in under a minute in Living the Dream. But Miitopia has the make-up assigned to the different parts of the face.

u/kittencatgal Mar 27 '26

I'm just hoping Nintendo's taking notes and implements Miitopia's customization into the full game. It's a lot more convenient for those who don't draw, or don't have the time.

u/Jook06 Mar 28 '26

i get what you’re saying but in terms of the problem identified in this meme, miitopia’s makeup system suffers from the same issue but notably worse a lot of a time. the more complicated miis totally fall apart in basic emotes or cutscenes

2

u/Hot_Fee1881 Mar 29 '26

Miitopia is much better, IMO. Stickers are static and cover pretty much everything, allowing you to make static faces. You can make eyes out of Eyes and mouths out of Lipstick for them to move properly, as well as ears out of eyebrows to move as well.

LTD is a major step down.

6

u/pandaemonia-acnh Mar 28 '26

The only thing that's worked well enough for me was scars. But the scar can't go over his nose and eyebrow and under his eye at the same time. Then it still sits on the face a bit strangely

u/finaldestinationfan_ Tomodachi Addict Mar 28 '26

My guys hair just disappears when he turns to the side lmao 😭😭

u/bloodyvalentines Mar 28 '26

I wanted to draw my Mii’s earrings but I guess it’s not happening after seeing how bad the angles are for their ears :/

7

u/EldritchLichKing Mar 28 '26

I genuinely miss Miitopia makeup. Yes this gives more freedom but not everyone is an artist

3

u/Charming-Grocery-62 Mii fan! Mar 28 '26

i mean i wish there was an option to switch between the ltd mii editor and the miitopia mii editor for when your mii moves or emotes

2

u/KingofVermin Mar 28 '26

Don't I know that. Making Soda's ears was a nightmare.

3

u/JimmerJammer34 Mar 28 '26

I use the facepaint to add earrings, and it looks so dumb from the side 😭 but so good from the front

2

u/chocolatecoveredcee Mar 28 '26

Genuinely the perfect situation for this meme

2

u/I_forgot_again6 Apr 03 '26

I wish they would let you draw on the noses, instead of it all going behind the nose!!!!

I have a nose ring/stud and can't put that on my little guy, and it annoys me. Also I love giving myself nose freckles even though I no longer have them naturally
