Sub-Race Photoshop Mockups

That High Elf female is a faker! Look! Red toe and fingernails!

*Rerolls to High Elf*


Done.

Would like runic tattoos for blood elves. Heck all races need tattoos at this point. Would be badass.

What they need to do is make shirts display warpaint/tattoos, so that if you were to take your armour off you would see it. There wouldn't need to be changes made to the skintone itself, just a map on a shirt that adds to the skin. They have one such item already.

Ofcourse there would be gender locks on certain tattoos and a little fine tuning so bras would show.

Hey, Shoc!

You want to (re-)make some sub-species reskins now that we got more appearance from the playable models?

Also, did you already make a reskin somewhere of the Frostbourne Dwarves?

You made me realize that there is probably a handful more photoshops lost within the pages that aren't on the OP. I'll try to hunt them down some time.

I think for High Elves to be done right they would need their own brand new animations and their own voice acting, like Gilnean human voices and emotes compared to the normal human, but with the unprecedented new animations as well, from scratch.

And to get even more racial, their own brand new models, they would have different faces and different physiques and their posture would be completely different. They would still look like the same species, just not like the same person with a different face our current player races seem to be compared to Blood Elves.

It would be like Amani Thunder Isle Trolls compared to the current player race of Trolls (forget about them still being vanilla technology) as a new race.

But in the history of this thread I've been through this A LOT.

I've also considered the ways that Blizzard could make High Elves work as a playable race, separate from the Blood Elves. One thing that became kind of apparent with the new Blood Elf models is that they look 'lean and mean', an aesthetic that I feel doesn't really fit the High Elves if they were to just be recoloured Blood Elves.

I envision High Elves in WoW to be not as slender, closer to Night Elves/Humans that anything else, and hold a different posture. Of course, this would mean a different racial silhouette and different animations.

Lorewise, the Kirin Tor joining the Alliance for good, and the destruction of Theramore creating a solid population of transient High Elves, the Sunwell being restored by the Draenei, the possibility of the return of Alleria and Turalyon in the future, there is tons of validification for High Elves to become a playable race for the Alliance.

As for a starting zone, I have no idea.

fel blood are demons of the legion.

I guess a sunfury should look like this


runic tattoos were a characteristic kaelthas forces supposedly.


and high elves?

this is why we need tattoos/scars. im hopeful we might get some in 6.2 or 6.3 once they start working on those future customization patches.

also, shoc, you promised me mohawks :P

[Faenavi]

I am still hoping in secret for a playable Vrykul race someday

you are not alone, I want them also.

Alongside the new Blood Elf models we’ll also be implementing a couple of tweaks and fixes for other character models, based on player and our own internal feedback, with some additional changes to come in future patches.

Come oooooooooonnnn Wildhammer skins....

[Hallowseve17]

Additional changes in future patches? Please add subraces.

Really want a Wildhammer Dwarf, and even a Dark Iron.
Nothing too major right?

That would be wonderful

[Hallowseve17]

Could anyone do a high elf mock-up? You know, just for fun?

EDIT: Maybe a wretched one too?

I'd play Blood Elf for the first time in my life if the males looked like this. He actually looks like he could take a punch without crying uncle.

[Shadowtwili]

Sooo, anyone any more juicy. new, awesomely done photoshops/mock ups for subspecies? Maybe even different shades of skin/hair/beard/eye colors for already existing ones?

I would love to see one Human-ish Frost Vrykul!

[Shadowtwili]

On that subject, you got anymore sweet reskins for us?

What about a Dark Troll-esque looking Kaldorei? Since the Kaldorei descent from the Dark Trolls, maybe give Kaldorei some dark skinned Zandalari tidbits?

[Deleted]

You guys, do incredible work. I'm making some custom content for WoD, and I'm working on a Orc skin.
The problem is, I need some help to do better skin, and yeah, custom skin like the FelBlood Elves in HD.

h tt p :/ /puu . s h/hko w I/d81 6ee9f68. png (can't post links)

I need to do the head, but. I don't know how I can do it.
If anyone can help me, that'll be great. Thanks.

[Deleted]

most of therse skins look like Wildstar stuff, pretty cool shame blizzard never listens to players

[Psychotrip]

I wonder if Blizzard has commented lately on the idea of adding subraces. I for one would love to make my orc a blackrock or dragonmaw orc, as many of them joined the horde at the start of cataclysm.

[Shadow0]

Well, let me be the first to necro this thread (again).

Shoc, friend you got mentioned on the frontpage once again! Woohoo.

[Futhark]

Thanks for reminding me i've been barking up the Wildhammer/subrace tree for years. Two more weeks until I learn I still won't get them...

[Deleted]

Rly hope they will update or make questchains to update the vanilla racial mounts.

Also if sub-races become a character creation option and not a ingame feature (so need to start a new character) that they make a payment option to remake all characters on a account. Not looking forward to pay for ever character i want to remake like 20 euro.
