Lack (Flare's artist) used subtle changes like skin undertones and brighter clothing, but it's definitely a noticeable change from the first model. This is done to imply fairer skin while also maintaining as much similarity to the previous color as possible. If you need a comparison pic to realize that it doesn't change as much, then it's working. Honestly prompts to Lack for pulling this off.
Pic related is his twitter banner. He could absolutely draw unmistakably dark skin if he wanted to.
