New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Faces

[Nachtwulf]

Also keep in mind that's basically the youngest, least angry face option. There'll be other faces, and I have no doubt the angrier ones will be squintier.

[cowmuflage]

Hmmm yeah if they all the faces you can get have those eyes it will be a big issue for me. I mean big eyes tend to make faces less aggressive and well orcs look best when they are angry

That's the whole reason "cute" characters have big eyes XD

[Wain]

You guys make a good point, I'll wait to see other facial options first

[cowmuflage]

Oh dear god now I can't stop thinking about angry orc faces with giant googly eyes XD Oh the horror!

Or an orc version of an anime toon hahaha! Sailor Orc!

[Myrrmi]

Wow, she looks great! I love the improved posture, the finally-not-so-derpy face, the musculature... and OMG the revamped mohawk is simply briliant! My orcess uses the shaved/longbraid hairstyle and will keep it (hoping they will make the braid nicely animated), but for my trolls - perfect!

I will have to have a toon of every race now...I mean seriously....they are doing such an amazing job!

Holy crap. Now that's what I'm going to think happens in the raid now

[Vephriel]

The dwarf females are now up on the official site for model viewing.

[Raiyen]

Yay! I guess the ones that are on the website for model viewing are final products? I say that since some of the others that have views are not on there yet.

[cowmuflage]

Yes I think it's safe to assume the ones in the viewer are the final ones.

[SpiritBinder]

I don’t mind them, I think they might have gone just a little to overboard with the eyes/expressions?



^ This one above in particular when you compare to the ones below v



I know they are trying to put a lot more expression into them and the like to make them more animated, but I just hope that this does not come at the expense of them looking too... foolish? (or "Loud-Living" as they put it.)

"but we think the updated model says “descended from unyielding stone” as much as “griffon-riding, ale-swilling, loud-living hero.”

I've always thought the Dwarven women came across to have a stronger temperament and a little more serious than the men, which I quite liked tbh. I'll pass full judgment once we get a better preview of their other face options and expressions. Anyways, I'm sure they'll be fine, I probably just need a little more faith

[Vephriel]

Yeah, some of those stills are a bit...unnerving? But maybe they're just unflattering places to pause an animation. I hope the other faces look a bit different, but I'm not too invested as I don't have many female dwarves (actually I'm not sure if I have any right now). I like her a lot in the generic stand animation on the page though, and animations will probably look better as a fluid motion.

[cowmuflage]

That yelling face looks like it wants to eat my soul O.o

[Nachtwulf]

I'll be happy with the fem-dwarves if they lose that saggy boobflopping they do when they run. I mean, bounce is fine, but that limp floppy jerking looks really painful (you'd bruise yourself awfully if that happened to you) and what's more, it doesn't make any sense on anything but a cloth wearer since, you know... metal doesn't sag.

They look a lot perkier than their original versions, so I'm HOPING it's fixed, but since you can't access run animations or anything, I'm still unsure. @_@

[Wain]

Again, it's mostly just the eyes that concern me. In this case, doesn't it look like she's been up all night and needs coffee? Is that eye shadow or actual dark rings around the eyes? Poor thing looks worn out.

Also, the female skin textures overall seem to be a little too pristine, plastic, for me, compared to the males. Like these warrior women actually just stepped out of a Ponds commercial

Man, I'm being a negative nancy. I really do love the models overall

[cowmuflage]

That Wain or an abusive relationship :X

[Castile]

She walked into a door I swear...XD

yeah they seem over the top atm...I really love how expressive the pandas are so if they do it to that same degree I think it will be fine.

[Nachtwulf]

Maybe she got those black eyes from being hit in the face repeatedly by her floppy bazongas....

*snerks @ above comments*

I just love that the females look a little more ................. beefy. More real to life females so to speak. I'm hoping the blood elfs get some more meat on their bones.
