I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

The wing on this thing is a "cannot unsee" thing. I mean, I think the mount looks pretty cool and I'm tempted to buy it, but the fact that the wing is bent all sorts of funny just seems kind of silly. It's sitting on the gryphon skeleton from what I can see, do their wings look like that too?

With the wings, the fire, the armor, the braid-beards...it just has far too much going on.

Re: Patch 4.1/4.2 - Winged Lion Mount?
It does look a bit funny now that you point it out. If the entire mane was burning it would look like that was some elemental part of the lion, but as it is there, with only the top...it looks like someone threw a match on top of his head. xDcowmuflage wrote:I don't get how only parts of his mane are on fire O.o

Re: Patch 4.1/4.2 - Winged Lion Mount?
Oh well, I honestly still want one. It still looks awesome to me. xD Even if it's incredibly busy and only the top of its head flames...
I'll have to name it after this comic where the tops of their heads burn.

Heh, the only thing I find horrendous about this guy is the braided beard... I don't even have braided beards on any of my characters.
It won't keep me from buying it though.

Re: Patch 4.1/4.2 - Winged Lion Mount?
The wings are that way because they are so large to be able to support the beast that they fold against the body; they seem to be modeled more after dragon wings or bat wings than bird wings. It does look a little odd only because the angle they are sitting at would be more for a beast that doesn't have front legs/arms, and leans and uses the front set of 'shoulders/elbows' for balance by leaning them on the ground (think bats when they climb and walk around). Also, the fire is coming off the top of the 'hair' portions due to the way the effect would cover his whole head if they moved it down to emanate off of the bottom of the mane. They'd likely have to create a whole new fire effect to be able to do it, and it might look even weirder if they did. The model also doesn't look low res (in my opinion), it's supposed to look like a stone creature, like one of Therazane's minions, earthen, or the Tol'vir, rocky in appearance. It does have a lot going on, I agree, but I love detailed models, especially mounts Only thing I'm a little iffy on is the color of his armor. It too closely matches his body base color. I would have lightened it a little or changed the shade to a different color, something to differentiate what is him and what is not. The metal used in Twilight structures would be an amazing effect for it, it's sort of like Chromaggus' skin iridescence, in the light it changes from swirls of blue-green and purple.
I think the model looks amazing and I can't wait to get one.

It's because you're viewing it from a weird angle. You're seeing the two hind legs, but not both hind feet from that angle.Miraga wrote:Still waiting for a 3D viewer or a video for it. From the picture Tyger posted, it's wings look wonky but the thing that's bothering me is his back right leg. Is it bent funny or am I just not seeing all of it? I guess I'm mostly disappointed in the colors. I feel like SO much more could have been done with the colors.

In my opinion, Gryphons wings look way worse. From what I can tell that is a modified gryphon skeleton. It has slight differences but its mostly the same. Gryphons wings bend really weirdly too, and break in a lot of spots, it's just hidden a little better. My guess is Blizzard didn't want the model to be a straight gryphon model, so it has much larger wings then the gryphon models, which they then decided to carry out differently.The wing on this thing is a "cannot unsee" thing. I mean, I think the mount looks pretty cool and I'm tempted to buy it, but the fact that the wing is bent all sorts of funny just seems kind of silly. It's sitting on the gryphon skeleton from what I can see, do their wings look like that too?
In this image you can see how right below the blue banner/collar the first part of the wing thats closest to the body actually breaks into the body (this is the part you really only tend to see in flight).
And if you look at the top part of the picture, you'll notice the wings fold in a really harsh angle which would definitely not be possible if we wanted to be serious about wings.
However, I think the reason that the models do this is weird "broken wing bend" just because of technical limitations on models.

OH! I was wondering why it looked that way! Thanks for pointing that out to meh! :3Rikaku wrote:It's because you're viewing it from a weird angle.
