New Mahirim Concept sketch

[Claus]

What do you think about him?

Personally, I think he kicks mundo ass http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[InZaNity]

His waist tapers a whole lots.... but beyond that, much more cruel and beastial looking...

[Porphyre]

I agree with Inz on that one..  the waste kind of makes him look like a bestial Betty Boop.  http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Other than that, he's definitely much more intimidating.  I like the spikes and blood splatters. http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

The waste is slim to point out two facts:

1) He is built for speed
2) His ancestors were most likely wolves or dogs.

Take a look at the next dog you see, and pay attention to his alarmingly slim waste compared to his shoulders http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

BUILT FOR SPEED! http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Uilamin]

rather interesting, he looks rather good.

Now just light him on fire with a particle effect weapon and you have something that will scare everyone.

[Ognamus]

Or just turn him into a french speaking candian... (omg... they're creepy:shocked: )

[Zakath]

Looks fierce.....means I can't look to mahirim for trade....*sigh*

[Xetro]

Great pic it is, but the colors are so blur. But he does look bad, and fast.  http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif)

[Talen]

That is a neat sketch, I'm not sure I totally agree with the waste thing everyone is talking about but it does seem a little weird.. Anyways that character fits his description heh.

[Filgolfin]

im gonna kick his ass and steal his spear/lance/staff.  Yow! that thing is so badass!

[Xetro]

Filgolfin, you just do that.

[Pokeroo]

His waist looks like it could be a weak area on him...  I would hope there is some form of armour for that general region... http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Bartacus]

I'm walking with my warhammer to him and smash him on his feets, so he isn't so fast anymore:)

[Bearded Elf]

I prefered the first one personally, this fella looks cuddly *hugs*

[Meister]

/me scratches mahirim behind the ear...Nice pet...I

[Blade]

Hmmm....dont know, i think i liked more the original Mahirrim, it looked.... stronger. This one DOES look more dangerous, but it looks fragile. Dont know, its not bad, but its not my type... i think ill stay with the Ork... http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[MoonDawn]

He looks too much human to me. Take a look at the dog again. What gives the agility and speed? Back legs? Hips? When they run, they use basically the hind legs to uh... shoot forward. This Mahirim would not have to do that, as he is walking on two legs instead of four, and thus cannot perform the same boost. But put him down on four... His legs would be more bent, not like a human's. Urh, well, I wouldn't know. It depends if he's supposed to look like Anubis (http://movieweb.com/movie/mummyreturns/coc.jpg)  or a werewolf (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/4626/EE-XOLF3.JPG, http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/4626/WERWOLF2.GIF) I assume :/ Not that I could have done it any better, I just agree to the fact that something looks strange about him.

[SilverWolf]

I dunno about you guys but he looks bad ass to me! I like evrything about it.

[Pokeroo]

Well, I think he could do with a bit of a bigger stomach....  and maybe have him a bit more ripped.... http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Other than that.. its great!

[Mathrim]

Nice one, but aren't they very tall?

[Snaffoo]

yeah its not bad but go for a more sinister face....the current one makes it look like he surprised to be whereever he happens to be http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

And yeah, lose the anorexic waste.

Also i bet hed look more bad ass with more cat like "paws" with some equally sinister claws proturding from them

[Snaffoo]

also...

I just realized its supposed to be a Dog not a cat http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif..

Anyways, make the "knees" bend back wards just like a dog. (just like the jumping alien in Men In black).

[Satan]

He will make a fine pet indeed.

[Gunther TheBlack]

They shouldn't look to savage cause they are prolly more intellegent then the orcs.
Maybe but an option in to make you chars tin,normal or fat like in ao.Then the people who don't like the tin waist can be fat but maybe if they choose fat they lose a bit of dex but increase a bit of constitution(basestats)?

But i think theirs a major chance i play that cool critter http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Goblok]

Agree that he looks alittle fragile, but that is easily remedied by making his muscles a little more 'sinew', not bigger, but longer, if you catch my drift.. also, if the hips were bigger, and he had a little more forward lean to his torso, he would look faster in a more natural way?
####, he's good as he is, I'm just throwing out the first that hit me.. >8)

[Myrddraal]

His teeth could be a bit more shiney so the tooth you see on the pic comes more to the foreground and makes him look more like an evolution of an animal thats on top of the food chain..and ready to shred you to pieces even without his weapons

[olemak]

Heh, way cool. I'd like to see them even more muscular, even more sinewy, with the legs more "dog-like" and a more massive head - but this is way cool. Way cool, I'll be a Mahirim for sure. And I'll be nobodys pet.

[Ferox]

i like the older version A LOT better.. it had that cool egyptian look to it that really appealed to me and gave it an intelligent, ancient magical type look, now it looks like a wolf dog man.

[Gabriel]

Well I like the new one better

[Goblok]

His head should'nt be bigger I think, if the idea is that he is a fast predator, it should be light, long streamlined snout, with a long mouth (so the mouth can be opened very high, much like alligators). His neck need to be very strong though, maybe abit like a hyena, yah that would rock

[WolfLGO]

The old one was better. I think he should have a tail too.

[Chloe]

he's funny looking http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.  Looks good though!  I wonder how easy he will be to chop in half?
