Why do their face whiskers look glued on?

The models aren't finished yet.

They all look great. Still some things I'd tweak or change in some of the models, but nothing is final yet of course, and all of the new models are a huge improvement over what we had.

The human females certainly look less dead-eyed now after messing around in model viewer... Just the idle animation alone had me in awe and I'm so tempted to make one now xD

[Myrrmi]

So when it rains, it purs

I really like the looks of the new human male. Finally stopped lookig like a gorilla - now he looks like Tarzan
And male draenei just got 100% sexier, if it's even possible without collapsing the timespace around them... yumm...

[MaximumOverdrive]

Currently I'm iffy about the male draenei. I was kinda hoping they'd make them a lil less top heavy...however they did fix it some by making their lower legs thicker, which is great. I think the current face tentacles are from the old model so those aren't done yet. Hope the faces have a bit more differences later tho. Overall tho, I think I'm mostly happy with it lol...which is good cause like half my toons are male draenei.

[Lisaara]

Yeah they're not done with the male Draenei yet but so far, it's amazing!

[Xota]

I like that they're releasing "works in progress". When they trickle things out slowly with long gaps, you start to get worried that what you see (when you finally do see it) is more finalized that it might be.

About the UD male faces, I hope the non-glowy eyes are switched from yellow to empty black. When I choose the empty eye sockets, its because I'm going for that specific look.

I love female night elf <3 She looks lovely!! I know it isn't a finished product yet but I still think it's beautiful.

And also now we can design gear to show off the male human high res nipples/chest hair. If we were so inclined.

Dear god that made me laugh SO much! Then again it's a good idea and I'm sure lots of people wouldn't mind it at all. The ladies need some eye candy too.

The ladies need some eye candy too.

And not just the ladies

I rather like the new male chest. The old one looked kind of pasty.

Just not as fond of the Draenei one any more. I love the original mesomorphic frame, but the new looks like a gorilla who overdosed on steroids. Then again, that seems to be what a lot of gym guys are going for these days :/

I really love aspects of this new model too, but your dead right about the roids, and it's mainly them traps, they crazy!! O_o



If you have a look at the original they have much more of a neck, but the traps on the new ones are way too over sized for my personal taste. They also expanded his rib cage which in turn kind of removed his nicer "V" shape he had originally. These certainly aren't exact, but gives you an idea of how much a little tweak can make a big difference.

I did a quick minor edit followed but the areas edited to show how easy it would be to alleviate this and make it more true to the original model.

But.. but.. but...
HI REZ NIPPLES!!!!

Come on!!!!

How can anyone resist?

[Wain]

Thanks SB, that illustrated it perfectly. It really is more of a 'roid junky frame now.

looks like the leather wearing community best go find themselves some peerless armor for there male characters

I must agree about the Draenei though. I like the new details but that guy is huge. could you ever see that guy being a mage?

[Kayb]

Love the human male, the Draeni male would be nicer without the massive vein popping in his arms

[Vephriel]

Overly beefy bodies aside, I really just can't get enough of the facial expressions on these new models. They're so dynamic and emotional and I'm so excited about them!

[Lisaara]

I think people are forgetting one thing. Draenei aren't human. They're ALIENS. Not humans. Not even from the same planet as humans. Comparing them to human anatomy is moot point. Aliens can come in whatever shape or size.

[SylviaDragon]

wow spirit that was fast.



Whoop! whoop!
