Tauren Hunter & Tauren head studies.

i've allways kinda thought that the decition to give taurens rifles in wow was kind of silly... so, i wondered why blizzard would do it, i started doing some scetches and stuff, found out that it isnt so bad. a tauren with a gun can be cool. verry even. i've made a pretty pic of a tauren hunter with a gun, and i thought i'd share it with the world, its been a loooong time since i've done that.



also, i dod some scetches on taurens faces and stuff, playing around with diffrent manes and horns, this page turned out funkey enough to show. i've also been toying with female tauren but nothing worth showing yet. its hard to get tauren to look femine, kind of cute, yet look like a tauren. i dunno how that bastard samwise does it ^ ^



now give me some rep, i'm kinda close to 5 bars.\

i want 5 bars ^ ^

ahh yes finally someone else interested in tauren. I like your moose conception, that is an idea I coudl use. I too found guns stupid, but i suppose as tauren are like aboriginals, and they wielded gusn why not tauren? The sheep is also a bit wierd, but i'll think of that one. I've actually finished a tauren head, pretty different, could you skin it for me? i'll post a screenie later. the hunter looks cool, but i'm not sure i could do a gun. the only gun wielder is a dwarf , and trust me I actually tried it posted on wc3 sear, looks wierd. I'm the guy who posted most of the taurens there. actually i've got a few more not, yet released, they are better than my others, I think i'm gonna release them, but the yall need skinning, are u interested?

i guess i could skin some if the model is good and rewrapped....

i plan on getting a modeling program for wc3 myself and give modelling a go... i feel i'm ready for it now, having gottem pretty much everything out of skinning, its loosing its spark. i want to do some full custom stuff. first ofcourse come merges and fooling around, but then i might be able to make completely new stuff... someday...

first thing i would do though is make a minutaur with the moose antlers and a bigass hammer ^ ^

a goose with a hammer? :god_help_us:

thats real nice, tho i think a tauren would still like melee combat as opposed to ranged, so they might stick a bayonet or something to the end

Darkhorde. there are many ppl interested in tauren.

ever heard of omnious horizons?

And not all tauren like melee combat. dont be stereotypical. were talking about a whole species here. not every one of them is going to have the same fihgting style.

Awesome drawings.

i was going to but the paper stopped xD

Really cool tauren. I always thought it was kind of hard to draw tauren and I have seen lots of bad drawings of them. I think you pulled it off, they look really good. I like the one with the moose looking horns the best.

the sketches are great. i like them more than your inked one actually.

the inked drawing has a few problems. first of all, the arms appear to be ridiculously long. i know that on tauren pictures the arms do hang down that low but there's something wrong with your version. i think its cuz your tauren doesnt have that hunched over pose. without the hunch, it the arms are way too long compared to the torso.

did i say the sketches were great? i especially like the one in the middle. the horns on him are fuckin sick.

i think you're kind of right about the arms. but the sleeve of his robe also hangs down below the arm, giving the illusion of a longer arm. the arm, if you think of it without the robe, seems about the right length to me. maybe the legs aren't long enough....

yes the arms are a little bit too long, but there are a fieuw things that make it worse. the hanging robes is one thing, the missiong of a really bad hunch (wich is not something i usually do... i usually draw them as they are in the game, but i dislike those. i like how samwise draws his runemasters and stuff, more like minutaur, less like 'tauren'.) and that the legs are bented, wich makes his whole leg area look shorter becouse it is concieled in robes.

other things that 'untauren' him a bit are the bigass dwarfish beard, and the fact that his horns go round to the bottom, showing only a verry small part of trhem thets peeking under the edge of the hood. (i had to do that becouse i wanted him with a hood ^ ^)

added a lil color to the mix:

Some very good stuff here. Really beautiful.

i submitted it to blizz fanart... lets hope they want it ^ ^

Nice work Erwt... but...

THE GUN IS TOO SMALL!!!

Even the dwarves carry bigger guns than that... gaaah...

And... Tauren would never have moose antlers... Tauren are cows...

icbm1987

yeah i ran outta paper... xD

and itrs not the point if moose are cows like tauren or not, the point is if antlers are cool on a tauren. i mean, searching for realism in warcraft is a futaile quest...

steampowered machwarriors... i mean... damn...

cows with antlers seem more logic, lil bit of genetical manipulation and WHAM voila ^ ^. maybe a tauren had sex with a keeper, that oughtta pruduce a tauren with antlers....
