Artcraft - Champion of Stormwind - New Human Male Model
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Welcome to another Artcraft! I’m Chris Robinson, art director on WoW, and today we’re keeping it short and sweet with a reveal of the updated male Human model. As with the previous model redesigns, our goal here was to honor the silhouette and style of the original, while increasing fidelity and fixing some of the big issues we’d identified. The male Human has long been a source of criticism from some of you for his odd proportions and face geometry. We’ve taken great care to ensure we’re not changing so much that he looks completely unlike anything you’d expect, while also correcting some of the more glaring problems. We hope you enjoy the results!






On a slightly separate topic: I wanted to give you a quick heads up that we’re expecting some in-progress models to be hitting the Warlords of Draenor alpha test soon. While these will give you an early look at some of the models, please be aware that they aren’t finished yet. We’ll be presenting final high-quality model captures in future Artcrafts, so stay tuned!

    Something is really odd about those arms and legs.. other than that it's an improvement.

    Does anyone else get Game of Thrones vibes from these faces? Like the one with the foxtail reminds me of Mance Rayder so much for some reason and I totally dig it.

    Wow.. that is really REALLY well done.

    Funny how WoWs character models are going to be WAY better then Wildstars, a game that just came out this year.

    Agreed, the face is so different, feels like another game human character.

    it would be nice for WoW to have that sort of customisation, it doesn't make much sense for a priest to be as built as a warrior, doubt we will ever see that level of customisation in WoW though : (

    So humans actually have a decent face now, nice, I think the eyebrows are a little off but still, so much better than the old faces.
