New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Faces

[Silivren]

There was a topic over at wow insider today titled "The time for variant skins is now"
They suggested all the usual things like different Orc and Dwarf clans, Broken and Taunka, but the bit that got me thinking was this

"And maybe even a few weird oddities, like giant high elf ears that suggest this forsaken was one of the ones created by Arthas' attack on Quel'thalas (or worse, got parts from one of those victims) to play up the horror of the forsaken."

Racial options in the forsaken is a neat idea. I wonder how hard it would be to just add an "elf" option (ear and eyebrow) for the forsaken in the features menu. No other parts of the model/ face would need to change, and I really think it could work.

Ok first off WOW Spirit! That looks so smooth and fantastic. I for one would LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I can only wish because gosh she's so lovely.

YES PLEASE! That looks amazingly good. I always thought it would be cool if they had more race options for undead- I mean their queen is an elf after all. Why hasn't she expanded on her options a lil bit?

[HunterFTW]

i want to be an elf undead just like the banshee queen.YAY!

[Wain]

The Forsaken look for other races is a pretty cool idea. The high elf looks fantastic.

I'm not sure of the lore, but I thought the Forsaken were supposed to be the citizens of Lordaeron, which were humans. They just happen to be lead by the crazed undead blood elf who freed them. But maybe I got that wrong. Plus it would make sense that any undead high elves who broke free would also flock to Undercity.

No no, I think you may be right, that’s why the Alliance sends non humans into Silverpine. (as you can see when you play through the storyline there). They send dwarves and elves, because they supposedly can't be resurrected into Forsaken. However you can also see undead elven rangers too, and Sylvanas herself is a dead elf, sooooo yeah? I'm sure it would not be that far of a stretch to include it. And who knows, maybe now with the Valkyries helping out, they don’t have quite the same issue of raising different races into undeath as the plague did? Anyway, it was more just for giggles... who knows, maybe I'll try and DarkIron Dwarf next ; )

[Bowno]

Wouldn't the ears decompose though..? o_o Or be eaten by wormies?

Then there is the whole Death knight thing XD

An undead elf would be neatos

Not necessarily. Some undead have no rot at all. Sylvanas doesn't have decomposed ears either, nor do her rangers.

Sneaks in.....



Sneaks out...

Sexy. Once you go Dark Iron you never go back.

[cowmuflage]

Oh my XD

[Myrrmi]

Aww <3 I'd make one in a heartbeat, and follow my beloved queen around.

[Mozag]

Dark Iron? Yes please! SpiritBinder, you're DYING to try that Dark Iron thing out on the female model, right? RIGHT? Oh god, I've wanted to play Dark Iron forever. I RP all but one of my Dwarf sisters as half Dark Iron and give them the bluest face I can, but it's just not the same.

[SpiritBinder]

I'll see what I can do, but it will have to be a project for tomorrow as I'm already working overtime at work and have peeps coming for dinner tonight

[Qraljar]

Whoa, those alterations look awesome. We seriously need those. They seem to be easy enough.


Especially the Dark Iron Dwarf. That needs to be a thing. Someone should tweet that to Chris G. Robinson.


Oh, your Tauren face edits also makes the new tauren model look a lot cooler. It surprises me that it's so easy to make tauren look mean. You succeeded at it, at least.

[MaximumOverdrive]

Some great alterations in here...my list of things I like to play might increase! Except for undead, I don't like their quests areas :<

I can't wait to see Draenei...my biggest hope is they're just a bit less top-heavy lol (either slim the torso a bit or increase the mass of the legs a bit).
