New human concept sketch

[Claus]

Henning was so happy about Darkfall being voted most anticipated MMOL at rpgdot.com, that he updated the Ork and Human concept sketches.

The Ork only got some minor fixings, but the Human is completely redone.

Now the humans are finally looking like they should http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

What do you think?

[Porphyre]

I definitely like the human, looks bigger and more intimidating.  I miss the Ork grin though!  It had a "Hi, I'm stupid, but I'll still rip your arms off" quality. http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif  Hehe, new head definitely looks meaner.  

Good work Henning!

[Smarc]

I like em. Cool new changes.

[Thorgat]

Looks great to me.
In fact it looks much more professional than most concept arts of other "small" MMORPG

[Filgolfin]

i like it.  however, (im not trying to cause dissention) new concept art is no substitue for in-game screenshots. we had been promised them for quite a while, and we have yet to see them.  other than that, i like the new human, nice armor.

[Nixon]

wtg on the pole!  The pictures are great, keep them coming please!

[Gatts]

I like the new human shows they arent all small they can be large warriors too  http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Uilamin]

great new concept art, they are looking a lot better and can't wait until models are made for them.

[MoonDawn]

There's a growth on his shoulder...

Can't wait to see the female human  http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

He truly looks better though http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Well, it might be TWO growths on the female character.

Hey, Look it is Henning's First Post!...

Oh an btw.... I like the humans look.. Sorta the Zoot Suit style form the 50's(big shoudlers and all)  http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[MoonDawn]

Whooo, his first post and all thanks to me! (flowers and chocolate... especially chocolate mmmmmh.... can be send to me per air-mail. Doves will be returned.)

And if the female has a ton of armour like that with those... thingies... on her shoulders she shouldn't worry about any other growth. She'll be too busy trying not to get stuck in doors and bushes and how to walk elegantly in front of gentlemen...

So far all the races in all the descriptions make them seem like they are

[Gowel]

Very nice.

[Airius Droc]

Both look better, imo. &nbsp;I think I'd be able to give more of an opinion if I saw them next to a Goblin PC model.

http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Uilamin]

There are no goblin PC models there will, however, be goblin Npc models most likely.

[Carver]

I like the new warrior human look, but he seems a bit too wide. &nbsp;If he was just a bit thinner it would be perfect.

[Felix the Red]

Ahhhh concept art...

Ork looks cool, I can't wait to see the in game model.

[AT]

The human has some kind of leatherstraps over his shoulder(to keep his pants up ?). I really think those straps should be under the armour or his enemies are going to chop them of and he will drop his pants. That would be embarrassing.

[Viranth]

I think the Ork looks good, look stupid. And we all know they are! http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
The human reminds me of the dwarf, not sure if that's good on not, but it still looks cool.
And accoring to the pics the dwarf is almost as wide as the alfar is tall =)

[Lockinvar]

Everyone seems to love these pics, and I didnt see the old ones, but I thought the human was too bulky, he looks like a dwarf, seriously, not just in the build but the face too. Maybe i'm just too steriotypical. The ork aint half bad tho - sorta looks like a breed between your average orc and the variant they had in heroes 2.

Good going Henning! I like the human much better. Now he really looks like a warrior.
And definitelly the meaner look of the Ork, goes much better with the race than the happy ork face it had before! http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Good job!!

Heh, that was my first reaction, too. "Beefy" But, Porphyre pointed out that it was really the human's armor that made him seem bulky, and that the close up drawing looks better. It's a bit hard to judge the human since he's wearing a full set of armor and standing next to a lanky Mirdain and scrawny Alfar. http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

The human looked great IMO, i think Quimp just doesn't know what a drunkard looks like=P &nbsp;And if he does the only drunkards he knows are HUMAN..........

[KorumMaker]

Heh! First post for henning and he comments on female growths http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I like him already....
Seriously though, I did like the drawings! The human does look a little bulky, but what the hell, I would wear all that armor too if I knew that mean Ork might be swinging at me any time soon http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Pokeroo]

I particularly liked the new concept sketch of the human. &nbsp;I found that the old feller was rather small. &nbsp;The new human look adds more 'aggression' to the humans.. (get what im trying to say?) Basically, they dont look like pushovers anymore.

[Decimus]

Let's not forget that they are concept sketches and that they may change and evolve. I find the ork more realistic and the human a little less realistic in wear and weapon design. The human's armor seems a little over-the-top. It seems to be disproportionate with his overal build but the point here is that we are not looking at a photograph but at an artist's sketch.

[Skinwalker]

they look good, how about the alfars, are they gonna have a makeover also...specially the woman alfar? make them more sexy and mean... &nbsp;http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[olemak]

Yeah, it's good. I like - especially that intriguing "demons head" on the humans left shoulder (his left). That's really cool, reminds me of the eagle Judge Dredd has on his shoulder.

That massive lump of metal on other shoulder, however - I don't quite get it. Why is it so massive? It does not make sense... I don't like it. Make it more real, like something artfully fashioned out of steel, not just a wad of spiky iron that's welded on in en act of senseless vandalism - then I'll be happy. The way it looks now, that shoulderpad simply does not fit with the rest of the armour. Also, the characters field of vision would be severely hampered by it = bad armour design. But that is nitpicking, I guess.

I also like the pockmarced, scarry and warty face of the new Ork a lot - why not make make the rest of his skin like that? That will make him look real tough - sorta like a crocodile... His proportions are stil a bit screwed up, but never mind - I like this a lot more than the old one, and I liked the old one also.

Well done, Henning! Can't wait to see the ingame models!

[deja_wolf]

the ork's face is now more reminiscent of a warthog than ever.
and warthogs are mean creatures... and the human looks very tired and old.. like some 40 year old sofa guy in a oversized thou quite cool armour... changes on the head woudn't be amiss..

[Agamemnon]

If you think this human is big and mean, you should check the concept art for Warcraft games - they're about the size of the orc there.
