Character asset created for Bolvar Fordragon based on the design created by Blizzard Cinematics. I made the original version of Bolvar for Wrath of the Lich King. It was amazing to have the opportunity to work on a more updated version of the character.

Denizens of Revendreth and Sire Denathrius

Comment by arthurmenethilWait.. so McConnell does work in Blizz :)Comment by dokeefe1986Omg yesComment by wallrochaI absolutely LOVE the Venthyr and the way they speak, walk, fly and use anima as their weapon. Could not been happier with my covenant.Comment by HDTokyoI hope they become a playable race in this expansion...as a druid the NPC with the bat wings would be a great boomkin form, similar to the zandalari troll druids.Comment by TrashkunMccool?Comment by SgtGrumblesThe Venthyr are the best NPC's to come out of WoW since Nightborne. Such amazing design.Comment by EmeraldKnightI observed that some venthyr NPC's have Romanian names. I know that because I am a Romanian myself. I hope they will be an allied race.Comment by JigglypuffI feel like the female Venthyr would have been so much better if they just swapped the face design with the female stoneborn.Comment by KenjiT28I absolutely LOVE the Venthyr and the way they speak, walk, fly and use anima as their weapon. Could not been happier with my covenant.Comment by leowowthe venthyr are a cool race. But Sire Denathrius looks more to a male belf than a male venthyr.Comment by PhlynchFinally I have a name for the person who decided female Venthyr should look like old men in wigs.Comment by Aralndai can not wait to see cosplayers dress up as venthyr or sire denathrious.I love gothis clothign and architecture and i greatly appreciate the venthyr aesthetic. Can't wait to see more further in the expansion!Comment by NinjaFlibbleFinally I have a name for the person who decided female Venthyr should look like old men in wigs.Comment by auranimIt's a reference to Gary Oldman as Dracula in Copolla's 1992 filmComment by fairleadI adore the designs for the female Venthyr and Stoneborn! The faces of the Venthyr ladies convey the whole atmosphere of Revendreth wonderfully, and it's nice to have female characters that aren't conventionally attractive.Comment by delson75Who knew that Mccool was just another Blizz CorpoComment by LionwomanI really REALLY would love to play as a Venthyr Stoneguard/Gargoyle.
