Great work so far! 
Alas, i get the feeling beards arent a high priority, there are all these mustaches and whatnot, but no real option for those of us who want that stylish inbetween the clean shave and a full beard (well trimed and refined of course). Please add more realistic beards pretty please....at least someting that goes between clean cut and hobo-wildgrowth. would also be nice to be able to apply different shades of collor to the different parts of the beard, like ligther hairs around the mouth area. For referance my own beard goes from brown by the ears to redin the front and to blonde under the lips. With all the work that has been laid down on the female's hairs that shows real affection (great job on most, some are a bit erh unrealistic at best  ) im sure the bears will get the attention they deserve, but please give us men some desent hair on our heads as well, something inbetween glossy sleak and punk.
For after all... Let Men be MEN! 
As for the collor sliders in general i hope they will be changed form fixed palletes to gradient sliders, your working with collor codes anyway so why use a fixed pallete? at least give the option in some of the custemining areas. I understand the desire to work with a fixed pallette with respect to the overall design themes for the blodlines, but if it's applied everywhere the feeling of true customisations is lost. There should be no real grounds against having a female with pink hair as loog as its done well, we'r not asking for pink ships  (Gaaah the horror!).
Oh and another idea, can we have the option of having some of our implants show, like ocular filters, you know with little spots of ligth in the eyes or plugs that emerge from the skin. nothing much, subtile but ennerving. Im sure some of the artists would be thrilled at the shanse.
Another issue is the plugs for where the cords would go inn the spine, they nead to be made protruding and in mettal (titanium or likewhise) as they are now they follow the contours of the skin and look realy bizzare when the caracter is made muscular.
As for rendering i sometimes experience that cloathes get cut about by the navel so the lower stomace shows, creepy on guys...
Belts sometimes protrude trough shirts.
Shoes poke trough pants.
Ligthing in the photo room neads a real workower, its horribly hard and does dreadfull things to hair. get a desent portrait photographer involved please.
Some hairstyles for males shows the skull trough the hair, not good.
