I don't dare search it while at work so randy.jpg

[Jamison]

That is far and away the best model to date.

[Fievel]

Yeah I like it quite a bit as well, so much detail.

[Raldo]

What? There's very little about her that indicates she's the primal of ice. I'm not impressed. I hope it's just because that's an early render.

[Franzer]

While I'd say maybe the colors don't say ice, that model is very cool.

[Eagleheart]

I do not think those will be the final colors. (o.O ) Images of some of the in-game models we've seen before, either through data mining or posts from devs indicate that the models look considerably different in-game than they do in mockups.

And I agree with Jamison, best Shiva design to date bar none.

EDIT: This line has me wondering.

(This is normal map sculpt data created using ZBrush for those of you keeping track)

I am totally out of my depth with this kind of thing, but between this line and the considerably-more-blue concept art, I do believe we'll see her quite differently in game.

[miokomioko]

Looks good. I'm not disappointed.

Though she does look undeniably related to Elezen (the ears) while none of the other primals have such characteristics besides being humanoid.

[Kurokikaze]

That Shiva looks fucking awesome.

[Fievel]

Fucking love her hair-crown, lol.

[millionsknives]

Concept art looks amazing, implementation so far looks terrible.

[xopher]

I like the design but I don't think it's an accurate Shiva.

[miokomioko]

The colors in the render don't say Shiva at all. The concept art's pale skin + blue attire + hair crown are much more loyal to her legacy.

Also, she hace Charlize Theron's face for some reason.

Gonna have to agree.

Best Shiva design ever. Also she had Elvaan features in XI as well so it may be a small reference to that. I doubt those are the final colours though, her concept art looks different (and better).

Those aren't final colours at all. The red shade is one of the basic materials zbrush uses to render stuff. The other parts are likely just the same basic material with a colour applied to them, it isn't anywhere near the final product.

This isn't the final model, it's the high detail model they use to project the details to the lower detailed model (IE the one they'll actually texture and use in-game). I figured showing developmental shots would be a bad idea.

Can't believe nobody made fapping jokes yet.

[shidobu]

"them thighs" need to be a bit chubbier and ill be on board. Gulk ima need that fap material soon as it arrives.

Okay, I was wrong. SE CAN make elves, just not elves that you can actually play.
