Hello again! Im Senior Art Director Chris Robinson, and today we wanted to give you a super quick look at our current progress with the new female Draenei.
After the April Fools joke we wanted to ensure you werent waiting too long to see where were at with her actual character model update. Keep in mind that shes still in-progress, and doesnt have any animation to pose her body or face.
Animation is a big factor for the female Draenei specifically, so its important to keep it in mind when comparing the two. The original female Draenei has some fairly extreme posing that happens when shes animated. If you were to see the static model of the original without any posing youd see that it looks very similar to the new one. With her pose applied her shoulders stretch backward, her pelvis rotates forward, and her chin lowerscausing her head to angle downwards. The curvature in her lower back, and why the head shape looks slightly different, are also due to the new model not having the same posing applied yet. She also looks a lot taller! Ultimately all of those things will be addressed when we animate the new model, they just dont take place until shes rigged and sent on to the animation team.
We hope you enjoyed this super quick look at where were at right now, and well continuing sharing more in-progress art as we go forward. The next article in the Artcraft series were planning is a look at the creation of the Spires of Arak, a new zone coming in Warlords of Draenor. Thanks for stopping by!
Senior Character Artist Joe Keller did the majority of the work on this revamp, with direction from our Lead Character Artist Tyson Murphy (@tysmurph), and myself (@artofcgrobinson).
