New female Gnome character models

[Deleted]

I've never regretted rolling female Gnomes until I saw the new character models.
They said they didn't want to change the models so much so that people would still recognize their characters, yet they turned the female Gnome model 180 degrees.

Why the big eyes? and weird mouth with that creepy smile, also the way she is screaming and doing weird face emotions every time she attacks?
This is not the female Gnome that I wanted, she is now just a copy of these popstars with weird fasion-style.

The moment I saw this video, that day was a dark one.

Sorry but honestly, the over exaggerated facial expressions is the art-style WoW has. It's just they've never been able to show it with the old models.

Admittedly, I don't play Gnomes. Partly because they've always looked like babies, and that's creepy. But I really like the new look for them. Needs a little refinement? I'm sure it'll get it. But otherwise I think it's pretty darn good.

Looks great except for perma smile.

I wonder how many people look at this and actually want to roll a fem gnome now for the first time. I do!

Not bad done but too pixar/disney/whateverish for my taste.

[Ossandran]

I'm sorry you don't like the new gnome model.
Personally, I liked it, but I might not like one of the new ones myself.
I hope they let you race change once for free!

Yeah, a little bit of this.
I was always a fan of how female Gnomes looked, and they still look nice in the picture I posted, however that mouth is way too wide, and they made them look childish :l

The updated female gnome model is adorable...

As if gnomes already didn't look childish. *Facedesk*

I really like the new Gnome animations, but I've just got one Gnomey girl still sitting at 85, so I'm not part of the die hard Gnome aficionado audience that apparently is not being pleased.

[Mormolyce]

You post these things and say that they're... bad?

Does not compute.

Compare both models and you'll see a huge difference :l

Gnome females used to look like tiny women, but now they look like little girls and that irks me a little, especially the permanent smile. It looks unnatural like they purposely pulled the normal mouth into a smile for the default expression. It looks weird, unfitting and doesn't match the old models or their faces. And I miss the glossy lipstick.

[Immitis]

looks the same to me.

gnomes always had big eyes and creepy smiles

They were a little grumpy all the time, not smiling :l

They look pretty much identical.. it's just now they're capable of showing what they were going for with the old models.

[Viradiance]

You kidding? The new one is fantastic and I'm super excited for my little Gnomess mage Sour.

[Chat]

Awh.. look at that not cute whatsoever gnome that looks so ferocious and mean.

In all honesty though.. if the amount of polygons allowed the mouth to move Im sure it would look the same.

You're literally complaining that they're TOO animated, you were happy with the socket puppet mouth and dead glares?

Not sure how to say it but, water is the reason why we are alive, but too much of it could kill.
Too much of something isn't good.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I like the new models, just that they focused way too much on the face.
