Steve "Moorgard" Danuser over at the official Everquest 2 forums has posted a couple very explanatory posts regarding the character creation software. There will be changes to come such as Ogre beards, iskar scales and some additional hairstyles. Concerns had been raised over legitimacy of what fans have seen compared to what the actual product is and so Moorgard set the record straight.
This topic seems to be coming up a lot, so let me
address some of these points.
First, that "before" shot of the dark elf male is
very dated. It's a still shot taken from a handheld camera movie of
character creation. It shows very little detail. People forget how shiny
those old skins were. If you looked at that character in detail, I think the
reviews wouldn't be so glowing. They sure weren't back then.

We're currently on what I would count as either the
second or third generation of character skins, depending on which model
you're talking about (there could well be more from before I joined the
team, but it's hard to say because the differences are often subtle). The
humans, for instance, have been pretty much the same up until the most
recent skin revamp. Ditto for gnomes, halflings, dwarves, and barbarians.</div>
