Artcraft - Son of Exodar - Male Draenei Character Model, Heart of the Valorous Buff

[Deleted]

Fix tentacles (and while you're at it, more moustache and beard styles please!) and it's good.

[Snes]

They rushed the male Draenei, sad considering they're one of the 2 main races in WoD (supposedly).

Didn't even bother to give a little explanation in the Artcraft for this one, just shit it out and slapped it onto the website.

[Rustedsaint]

SO glad my draenei shaman is female more then ever now.

[rpdrichard]

Much more detail but it's still a male draenei and they still annoy the crap outta me lol

You're not alone it's same old fridge just in HD now

Player feedback about draenei model: New Velen model looks awesome plz blizz make male draenei like this
Blizz art team:Players want improved draenei male models
Blizz art lead: Nah just make them like they have been on steroids that will do it
Blizz art team: ok

And we get the same old abomination just more detailed...

[rcshaggy]

He kinda reminds me of this.

[-Zo-]

Ugh, where's the other artcraft, I mean, the one everyone actually cares about addressing sameface and rest poses and all of that?

Also, annoyed that every race is Son of ___, this cool lore name, and gnomes are like, hey we did gnomes too. Typical. I hereby name the gnome artcraft Spawn of Gnomeregan. There, I feel better already.

But I guess at least we got something, *comfort* trolls and belfs, female tauren, I forget who else is still waiting to get a first peek.

well they basically just say the same thing with every art craft: "we tried to stay true to form" and not really much else to it. Looks good though, especially the facial animations. And about the tentacles, just because the model is featured in an artcraft doesn't mean it's complete. it's still very much a work in progress. These are just to show the progress so far. And not everyone who goes to the game website also comes to mmo-champion, and not everyone is in the beta, so this could be news to them even though its kinda old news to you guys.

[Araxie]

Tentacles definitely need more work, don't match in color or quality, look really odd being so stiff with the much higher detail facial animations.

My thoughts exactly. The chintacles better be a work in progress or I'm going to be livid.

[IIamaKing]

Draenei are pretty core to Draenor, and trolls are not. What did you expect?

Them to redo the classic models first, like they said.

[Oneirophobia]

Wow, it happened. Somehow they made the male Draenei even MORE top heavy and bulky.


Why can't they just be regal looking. Make them taller if you must, just please stop cramming absurd amounts of bulk into them.

You do know the guy who types all that lovely info about the models, as well as working on them, severed a tendon in his drawing hand? Of course he's not going to type much.

[Pandapuncher]

Tendrils aren't done, they dont look done

I'm sorry, but real Draenei look like

i agree but everything else is good

[Axaron]

Akama is such a G. Broken Dranei look so much cooler than Chestacular ones.

Yeah, they were never going to change it. That wasn't the object of the exercise - that was to HD what the models already look like.

[Kavorka]

I agreet that the tentacles look unfinished...other than that its looking good (or as good a octopus/fridge combo can look) :P

Sad part is that even broken Akama loos leaps and bounds better that fridges (male draenei ingame)

[Oell]

You have to admit that the male draenei face looks like Arnold!

[Znarkharka]

WTB neck and bigger head

yep.. that kinda bothers me too.. looks like he lost the neck and his head shrunk a bit
