Not a big deal either way but I prefer the artwork for the old ones rather than just using in game models
Why do they insist on fixing what isn't broken? The art had character. The models, ironically, do not.
OMG Night Elf is in hunters Elite Aspirant Set, the one that is no Available in game...So, that will be racial set? Really?
Prefer the old ones...but the alliance looks kind of loveless both times...
I don't like the new look, i think the artistic version breathes life into imagination..
Personally, I always prefer 2D art over models when it comes to static images. Why would I want to limit myself to the game engine?
Just wonder why Blizzard decided to select more Blue eye Night Elves instead of the silver version?
The RPG and high fantasy feeling that the old artwork offered will be irreplaceable. I didn't like when they changed the Race icons for the Creation Screen and I dislike this one as well.
hope we can play tbc with the new models and animations

i agree too, the old image represent the aesthetics of each race, also most of the art have a background that still communicate something to us... but the new image are kind of boring? a side of looking cheap as some others have pointed out, the problem isn't that blizzard used the in-game model, because here in wowhead we have a bunch of great looking screenshots, but they didnt bother to use a background or a diferent color of light for each race, for example: Draeneis can be deathknights, mages and hunters, but they're strongly related to the light, thats why i'd expect to have a priest or a paladin draenei art or even a shaman Art as the image that represent the Draeneis, but in the new ones we have a angry draenei " Trying to stretch out the crick in her back" (as @xenolithix said xD) that doesn't show anything about that unique feature that draenei have.anyway, i prefer a painted art for the images, i just like it that way, that's why i like the hearthstone art and make it different even tho we know each of the races, clases and character for years now.
Well the old ones looked way better. Change my mind.
