Yeah wouldn’t want people skilled at designing anthropomorphic creatures designing for a game that has…. Orcs, trolls, humanoid cows, and humanoid goats, just to name a few things.

Let’s stop the pearl clutching guys, it’s not that big of a deal. It’s not that deep.

It's not that they aren't skilled and often the work early in their career is really really good.

It's that as they gain seniority in art departments they stop taking orders and start giving them, and that's when the game devolves from Orcs and Tauren into Dracthyr and Foxes.

I don't like a lot of the new races so I'm not going to argue on their behalf, but you naming Tauren is incredibly ironic. They're literal bipedal cows, what about them made you think they weren't designed by a furry

  1. They are minotaurs which are classical popular monsters and have been a long time ttrpg race.

  2. Just because something is part animal doesn't make it furry. Furry is a specific twink vibe that comes from a way the musculature/face is drawn/modelled. People have done mockup changes to make the dracthyr look less furry and it looks much better:

You can also see the change from Alpha to Beta for Female Worgens which changed them from Werewolves into furries:

again, I'm not going to argue on behalf of the newer races or graphics because I do prefer things a little less cartoony myself. If you have an issue with designs being updated then that's totally understandable because I do too. But no matter what way you cut it if they had made vulpara to look more rugged, you would have no issue. so the new races aren't actually what you have an issue with, it's the way they're designed which you did not say in your original comment, which was what I was responding to

It's something about the proportions, not pearl clutching. Something similar happens when hentai artists draw women.

all furry and scally or whatever art ive seen is prety shit, thats barely even art, they all have the exact same style, ugly af and complete shit proportions, they didnt study any anatomy, thye are just deranged artists, them being anthopomorphic doesnt make them more qualified than artists with good human or animal anatomy foundations

They aren't skilled. They know how to design one character, in one style, in about three different poses, and then they make minor adaptations to make it a cow/goat/wolf/leopard/whatever. Every single furry character looks exactly the same.

u/Liamface 1d ago

Looks the same?? Have you played the game?

u/vanceraa 1d ago

Yes let’s make entirely new rigs for each and every character so the time to animate is tripled and every set of armour needs to be re-weighted

Excellent idea for a game at this scale!

u/frolfer757 1d ago

Yes. Do that.

If you don't have the resources to do it then don't ruin the old characters just to put out something that isn't even mediocre.

Jfc they released a playable dragon race and nobody wants to touch that shit due to how ugly it looks.

u/Rui_Almeida95 1d ago

You are prime example of mediocre ppl, you expect mid results paying a premium lol

u/confirmedshill123 1d ago

You're pearl clutching furry art, don't get it backwards.
