Not sure if anyone else has seen this but thought I'd share with you all.

They could do with a little more work imo.

Hehe, just saw this too myself.

Eh, it's what I expected. Nothing "mind blowing" but it's halfway decent.

Bleh...not a fan at all. The face shape really bothers me for some reason, and to be honest it doesn't give much of a 'wolf' vibe. The amount of eye makeup comes off as some sort of Disney-esque anthro.

Ah well, wasn't planning on rolling one anyways. x)

Seconded.

Not bad. It looks a little rough if you ask me. I do like how it seems as if the ears are going to be used to show expression/aggression.

I was wondering why WoWhead wasn't loading. XD

Pics are up over at MMOChampion too

My thoughts? Eeeeehh, it's hard to tell from a static image really. I'm a little indifferent to them. Certainly haven't fallen in love with them as I have with the male worgen... and both genders of goblins.

But it is a work in progress. I imagine the model will be fine tuned in the coming months. And will probably look a lot better with hair too.

I like the model when the ears are back reasonable well, although the feel is more cat than wolf. And when the ears are forward ... I still get deer. Doe, I suppose (*singing* Doe, a female deer ...)

I imagine that Blizzard would like some feedback on these and is watching to see what we say about them. I think it's reasonable to assume, with the time these are taking them, that they aren't quite satisfied either; that they are having some trouble getting the female and wolf to balance.

Hmm... I've been thinking of sending Blizz some pictures of female wolves. The gender-diversity shouldn't really be that great.

Also, new models for the old races are INCREDIBLY needed.

Mm, yes. Definitely a deer vibe from them. The slope from the forehead down into the snout looks extremely awkward as well. The eyes bother me the most probably. I think it's silly to put what looks like eyeshadow and mascara on an animal race like worgen. :/

I know that they're a work in progress, but I doubt that they will change drastically from what we see here. Some touch ups for sure, maybe a bit of fidgeting, but overall I think we can see how the end result will turn out roughly.

This is going to sound odd, but the non-textured models looked so much cooler.....

Well already got my vote as it is, females look alot better in plate than most existing races, and mean while orcs are imba in plate, Rashika's shoulders dwarf her sometime. I never could keep a female, outside of Rashika, that was a plate wearer. I tried having a belf pally but the armor made me ragglefraggle and just delete my bikini wearing failboat.

I don't like the idle stance tho, that could be fixed, and hopefully the head does get a few more touch ups but so far liking them alot more than the males.

Might really reroll Strawberry as one...

for a work in prgoress it looks nice
the worgens already looked fulffy and cute so this isnt a huge shock to me
i dont play ally that much but maybe after the
'AMFG ITS A WORGEN MOST ROLL ONE!!1!!11!!11!!'
i might try one though i cant wait to see the finished thing

They aren't too bad for a work in progress. I'm not going to be rolling one though. If I do roll one to see the starter quests it'll be male as it stands now. I'm sure they'll look better with actual hair but I agree that they look/feel more deer like. I'll wait to decide what I'll roll for the quests once they're completed though. =)

This is because everyone seems to be going; well they look like deer/resemble deer

Sorry but, there's nothing deer like about the fem worgen, they look like a cross of Foxes and Wolves.

I'm not saying that they look like anthropomorphic deer, merely that they give me the impression of deer. Whether or not they actually appear as such, an impression is there regardless. I can't help but think of deer when I see them at first glance. *shrug*

Naturally if I sit there and scrutinize it, comparing it with a photo of a deer, there probably would not be much resemblance. However I can't shake that response from my mind.

It's cause of the lack of hair, that's all tbh. The model isn't fuzzy so ofc the first thought probably won't be 'wolf' but 'deer' but really outside that they look more vulpine/wolven than their male counterparts, who still seem a bit to lionish imo. atleast it got better as the model was tweaked

They look waaaayyyyy too fox-like, I don't like the reverse-raccoon thing they've got with they're face, and the eyeshadow? really?
They need to look more hunched over and furrier. And please tell me that's not a plate bikini on the DK?

Not trying to sound like a crybaby here, but they look too raccoon/fox/cat like for my tastes... I mean, the models are... okay... but unless they look more wolf-like I'm probably not going to roll one.

Maybe they'll look better with actual hair?

I'm just hoping they make them look more wolf-like.

Edit: spelling
EditEdit: Heeeyyyyy nice! I just found out that my computer has a spellcheck thing. <3 yay

I agree with Veph they they give me the impression of deer. Yes they might not look like it.. it just feels that way to me. They are still a work in progress though. So there is the chance that the feeling could change once they're 100% complete. I'm still looking forward to what the final look will be. At least Blizz released the work in progress finally. I had been getting more and more curious about what the females were going to look like. xD

It's not eyeshadow, as far as I can tell it's a side effect from the glowing eyes. IE the eye shadow is the same color as the eye glow.

Honestly, looking at those pictures... they look like a deer/fox hybrid, not a wolf/fox hybrid...

Edit: looking closer at the photos... I think I found where they went wrong (and what makes the models look so fox-like) - they're not furry/bulky enough. Wolves have rather thick fur and are strong creatures, foxes have shorter fur and are skinnier. They just need to make 'em look stronger and less skinny/short-furred.
