Finally New Blood Elf Models

[rhoark]

The female face has more weight and definition to it now. Less pointy chin, identifiable skull structure in the brow/cheekbone/jaw areas. Hopefully one of the face options will look somewhat like my favorite belf concept art, which was not at all producible in the game before:

Second best update after dwarf males!

I agree. I've absolutely hated most of the model updates (wrecked faces, funny runs, etc) but this one (like, as you pointed out, the male dwarf) really looks good - both for females and males; there are still a few glitches, and hopefully the faces will all be as good as the one sample. It won't get me playing WoD, but if I ever do end up playing again, I might actually use the new models (at least for BEs and Dwarves...).

They should totally add that hairstyle also.

So can anyone check some High elves?
Theres Elsharin in the Stormwind Mage Tower, Caledra Dawnbreeze in the Stormwind Keep, Vyrin Swiftwind in the Farstrider Lodge in Loch Modan,
A ton in Dalaran, and in Allerian Stronghold in Terrokar, and so on.

Heres a list:

Belf just became the best model update. All the hairstyles look amazing.

Someone posted a pic of Veressa Windrunner, i think in this thread. But what do you expect, it's the exact same model but with blue eyes xD

Ah thanks, missed that one
She's gorgeous.


High elves are so much prettier.
I'd still like to see more, especially the males.

Just going to leave this here. You lucky things.

[Ninotchka]

Glorious plate is no longer as slutty as it used to be, at least in the modelviewer.

[Nillah]

Naturally the male elf is wearing the least amount of clothes. Doing Blood Elves proud.

Seriously though, females still have that kind of emotionless mannequin face. Doesnt really match the "i am the hottest shit in this room" look the males have. Just kind of bland still.

Agreed, my first thought was how little facial expression the females have. They're not done yet though so hopefully that will be changed.

Female one has a tad bit too much overbite (upper lip) making the jaw 'vanish' in less lit areas, apart from that ok model. Male one perhaps a bit too much jawline.

Went around and took pics of random high elf faces I ran into in Dalaran. To me it feels like males just use Death Knight skins with no glow to them while Females got their proper Helf recolor.

[Odile]

Liking the new model but this is just... omg :')



The way they curled around that tuft of hair trying to hide the blue piece lmao
The entire curl on her head just doesn't make sense now, it isn't attached to the ponytail in any way

Seems like two skeletons for ponytails is for both Belf and Draenei female wayy too much...

[Deleted]

Male belf doesnt look as rugged as the preview implied, but maybe its just this first face. The run animation is really stiff, reminded me of female orc run in its stompy quality.

Female belf seems nice besides the really obvious bugs in animation.

But ultimately like the draenei I had to look hard to see the difference between old and new models. I guess the biggest positive about the belves is that they are most faithful to the old models, which is something many players care a lot about.

Thanks you're awesome (:

And I agree the males feel like Deathknights.
On the other hand, they do have the High elf male expressions so...I don't know.

Can you check Astromancer Darnarian in Quel'danas?
I'm interested in seeing whether he's still a High elf.

[Deleted]

Sure, here you go.

Probably already mentioned, but it looks like the male BE shoulder slouch is significantly less exaggerated than the old model. Still has the same overall cocky attitude, but just less scoliosis.

I really like that. Hope it stays. Belfs look a lot more buff now, but not incredible hulk like human.

[Haytham]

Rommath remains a badass, thanks for sharing the pic Sylvira.
