Vrykul Warrior WIP

New model I started recently, based on the Vrykul (half-giant Viking people) from Wrath. Not sure about animations yet, but I'm leaning toward Felguard.

Thoughts anyone? :D

You might try the Grunt animations, but you would need to move the axe to the other hand or switch up the skeleton. The model looks good, but to make it look more like a Vykrul and less like a human, I think you should recolor the skin. There are different subgroups of Vykrul with different skins, but that's what came to mind when I first saw it.

This guy is what I imagine when I think of Vykruls:

Yeah, I was using that pic as a reference actually :) I went with the more human skintone
since thats how I remember most of the Dragonflayer Clan looking. Arm tats like on the
image you linked are a definite possibility though.

Quick update, I've transplanted the mesh onto Furion's portrait, actual model is still static currently.

Ingame pictar:



EDIT: Bam! I'm getting quicker at this :D

Alright, well here's one more thought: Desaturate the skin so it looks more like this guy http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Dragonflayer_Berserker.jpg That would give him a more "Northrendish" feel. There are Vrykul of many colors, but I don't know, it just looks human to me. This, however, might be a good thing because then it could be useful as a human barbarian in addition to a Vrykul.

The tatoos could be cool and maybe even team colored.

Lookin' good, a bit plain though.
Tatoos would indeed add more variation. And perhaps some details, make him more hairy on the arms and siich'.

I'd say go with the Felguard anim's.

His anatomy looks odd :/

He is half giant.

And in that vein, definitely Felguard and not Grunt.

Outside of a cool weapon, he is lacking any attention-grabbers in-game on his model.

Give him those badass dreadlocks the wow model has D:
Perhaps some more cloth would've been fitting, like a stitched loincloth or even kilt over his pants. Right now it's a bit plain.

I don't know, you should try them, but the felguard animations don't look that good to me. His attack animations are a stab and a slash, when what you really need is a good chopping motion with that axe. Plus, the death animation is kind of silly.

Ogre Warlord/Tuskar? (sans Stand 3)

his shoulders look to be too much drawn to his front (uhg, is that understandable?) but overall nice idea!
