What happened is they actually took her real facial structure and portrayed it realistically and that means it ends up looking very different from a largely photoshopped, very staged model's photoshoot? Seriously, the girl she's based on doesn't even have any photos online of her hair up, so it's kind of ridiculously hard to even make a comparison. You guys don't actually think she walks around looking like that photo on the left, right?
This is probably the closest:
Seriously, stop posting the comparison. She's a good looking girl in her model photoshoot, and if the in game model is any indication she's also a good looking girl with less makeup and her hair up too. You can see shots of some of the people voted sexiest women alive outside of their glamour shots and dolled up movie makeup and you guys would probably think they look horrendous, too. They look like real people. Get over it.
I also really fucking wish Bioware wouldn't use models and such for references because it turns into this crap, anyway.
