ArtStation MagazineThe War WithinSenior 3D Character Artist II, Ariel FainOrweyna & The HaranirOrweyna having a unique modelsheer amount of customization datamined during betaI had the pleasure of working on the Haranir and Orweyna! I spent a long time working on this culture kit and the design of the race itself, I'll possibly make another post with some addition screenshots and concepts! Orweyna by her self was a long process, going through many iterations and ultimately becoming a mismatch of my own design and cinematics, and i think she turned out pretty cool!Queen AnsurekHello! Happy to share my work on Queen Ansurek. It's always a challenge to design characters to fit on premade rigs, but I do love pushing the boundaries of what we can do! Of course with the help of Animation and Rigging really make it come to life and work for our vision. I hope you all enjoy seeing the early explorations, i had tons of fun coming up on more creatury to more prettier bug ladies. I did have to re-make her face entirely after modeling to make the extra eyes feel better, I think it was a good choice!Art BlastArtStation

Comment by KqpwPlease let them be able to let shoes Cover their toes. Why does every Horde druid need to feel the Grass and goat poop between their toesComment by glunnI love Haranir, i hope they come as an allied race.Comment by 0VapyrNew race before the handfuls of ones that already existed and were being requested for 20 years in some cases being made into an allied race. Zzz.Comment by keyboardgfI hope they fix the haranir's missing hair textures. I think Orweyna is the only one who's hair isn't just an untextured grey blob.
(I also hope they become an allied race!)Comment by abrakablackaNew race before the handfuls of ones that already existed and were being requested for 20 years in some cases being made into an allied race.

Zzz.Comment by ShadrazaarOk, I'll say it first. Absolutely amazing work. I love the artstyle of the Haranir and I think all the versions of Ansurek look awesome. Even though some of them remind of the Naga. That would have been a crazy twist xDComment by VivianneSo sick of seeing people being like "oh new quirky race, I want it as an allied race right noooOOOOW!§!"

I've been waiting for Ogres for the Horde and Vrykuls for the Alliance since before the concept of Allied Races was a thing, and I'm kinda tired to see all these races that come out of nowhere taking priority, often because the main ones we interact with are female characters, so lots of people must think "bewbs, me want, grumph!".

Like dude, Ogres don't even have a female model yet, and they've been in the game for 20 years, some of them are officially part of the Horde since Rexxar's campaign in WC3, and they're part of the Lore since WC2.Comment by HademarSo sick of seeing people being like "oh new quirky race, I want it as an allied race right noooOOOOW!§!"

Races relevant to the current story simply have a much higher chance to get added as allied race than races that we never see anymore, so people are right to hope for these to become allied races as opposed to anything else. If the next patch would be about ogres or vrykul instead, you would definitely see people begging for those.
Personally I am sick of people asking for ogres and vrykul. Ogres are so boring, the only way they'd be remotely interesting is if you could be a two headed one. Vrykul are just big humans, boring. Of course most of the allied races are boring, so I guess they'd fit.Comment by Shinyx'queen' ansurek is a pretty cool creature design ingame. However, in the cinematics she looks somewhat feminine but now I thought king Ansurek would have been more fitting with the angular face and flat chest design.Comment by oomuI still demand for arrakoa or even Murdock to be playable because it would be NEW shapes, interesting and fun NEW animations and new dynamics for story and role play

At least it’s not just a 25733th troll-elfe or a dwarf.

-
Dracthyr , vulpera, were new, even if vulpera is recycled goblin skeleton.

We should ask diversity and shapes. Not just a variant of trolls, even if trolls and these underground elftroll are cools too.

Honestly I would prefer playable kobolds with body 1 and 2 (and 3 ? :) ) and tons of fun customizations than an elfComment by ArchieAngelNew race before the handfuls of ones that already existed and were being requested for 20 years in some cases being made into an allied race.

Did they changed the race name to "Haranir" now? I thought it was "Harronir". Or is this a new mandela effect? xDComment by PhaedraTo all those saying they want Ogres... Go play Kul Tiran
