[SPOILERS] New Villager Photos + Frames!

[Oblivia]

As some of you know (or have seen the new staff avatars), I was given access to some of the new game assets from a friend of mine, which included what appear to be villager portraits! If this wasn't exciting enough, some of the villagers are wearing hats in their photos, and although I haven't kept up on all the NH news, it's apparently possible for the animals to wear hats as part of their ensemble this time around. How fun will it be to match the in-game hat to the one shown in each photo, especially in Portia's case?! Here's a preview of a few hat-wearers, and also the new villagers that I'm sure will be hot commodities over in the VTP.

That's really cool! Can't wait to see it in-game.

Jay looks like he wants to be a Bug Catcher from Pokemon. Portia looks like she's ready to go to the Kentucky Derby. Kody looks like he's ready to go to a rodeo.

My boy octavian!!

these all look amazing!! I can't get over Raymond though I need him on my island so bad

 

[Rosewater]

This is incredibly cute! I love that they spiced up the pictures a little with accessories the villagers can wear. Jay looks adorable!

 

[cheezu]

They can wear hats and other accessories. This was already shown in the trailers.
These photos are so cute though!

I should also mention that each photo in the file is shown with 8 different frames, so this could definitely mean an option to swap out the frame on every photo you receive. Below are all the frame types:

why does Portia look she's at her husbands funeral trying not to laugh bc she killed him

 

[Kurashiki]

[Stevey Queen]

Omg Portia is so freaking elegant and gorgeous. I need her. I can’t believe I let her move out of my new leaf town :’(

 

[Mairmalade]

They've chosen like...the perfect hats for each of them. <3 Loving Jay's style and looking forward to seeing the hats/accessories in-game on all my villagers. Ahhhh so soon!

Portia looks so cute! I haven't had her in an AC town since Wild World many years ago, really hoping she'll move to my New Horizons island at some point.

Oh god, why'd you say that? Now I can't unsee it! LOL XD

 

[java_finch]

If the frames are customizable, that's amazing news! I collect pictures, but there's very few I could actually place in a regular room without them looking out of place.

 

[honeyaura]

These are so cute! I especially love the last one.
