oof it's getting religious in here

why do i get gay vibes from this?

I do think overall the Arthas model is fine for Reforged but if I had the reins, Iā€™d do three tweaks.

  1. Homeboy is really broad. Just by a bit.

  2. The pauldron designs are fine but just a bit big. Granted this is, again, a lame Photoshop job but I wouldnā€™t mind seeing them get scaled back like this.

  3. His hair might want to be a bit more golden blonde than the wheat blonde it kind of is? Dunno.

Iā€™d agree. Personally Iā€™d like to see simpler models, especially for such common units as Footmen. Theyā€™re literally your most basic soldiers. I could understand Gryphon Riders or Knights having ornate armors, but the run-of-the-mill, farmers-with-swords Footmen should be more straight forward imo. Just my personal taste though. I think early Arthas could use a simpler design set as well, showcasing that while he was a prince, he was also a junior Paladin.

Well i think people raged about change to militia modelā€¦ but i like it for that reasonā€¦ it looks like a peasant that took up arms to deffend his homelandā€¦
tho he has body of arnold schwazeneggerā€¦ xD

And that is comming from a person that likes hots bulky human modelsā€¦

Well, the old looking face of human Arthas has a little excuse because it is made from the dead face of Arthasā€¦ What has no excuse is him looking like a Dwarf.

This face is also a bit strange but maybe it shows the evolution of Arthas towards the darkness.

AlĀ·lahu-Ć kbar, bro.

I think the small size of his head compared to the size of the shoulder pads, the rest of the body and the hammer; creates an effect that makes us see the body ā€œmoreā€ wide than normalā€¦ Compare him in this image with the size of Jaina (although he is behind) in my opinion is fine. In any case, I would adjust the size of the head with the rest, or vice versa.

I could not agree more, good Photoshopping.

Good point too, anyway I think that many of the images we have seen so far of Reforged are a little desaturated (some of the official website are more saturated and others less).

Regarding the armor I can not agreeā€¦ A character like Arthas Menethil, Prince of Lordaeron, needs to wear an armor that reflects that titleā€¦
The bracelets with the symbol of Lordaeron, the golden lion of the beltā€¦ In my opinion is essential that he wear such armor.
In Warcraft III he looks like a generic Paladin, even Uther had better armor than himā€¦

his armor parts remind me of some late medieval armor in style (which is too realistic imo)ā€¦ but ā€œwith a fantasy coat on topā€ā€¦

while the rest of warcraft 1,2,3 art and models, cinematicsā€¦ always showed humans in more early medieval styleā€¦ with not too much overly complicated armor designsā€¦ no too much overlapping small pieces/platesā€¦

ARTHAS BODY LOOKS LIKE KYLO REN :open_mouth:

well, thatā€™s true. he shouldnā€™t look stubby.

honestly, i donā€™t like it too much. but yeah maybe it should overall be a bit more saturated.

i 100% agree on that.

OK, now that Iā€™ve seen the imagesā€¦ I think I understand youā€¦ For example, in the Arthas model, there are many metal pieces that overlap on the knees (especially here) and the bracelets, right? (the scales that are under the shoulder pads continuing the arm are fine for me)

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51MtdJfiuvL._SY450_.jpg

Youā€™re right, itā€™s too overloaded (Well, from the perspective of the game maybe we will not see it so much, but yes, youā€™re right).

They should reduce those metal scales that overlap and resemble the styles that you add (I add some styles that I like). In the Footman model, for example, the bracelets and the knee area are perfect, if they could create an intermediate point between those and the current ones that Arthas has, I think it would be fine.

A quick edit ā€¦ something like that?

Yeah basicly like you made legs, imo its a lot betterā€¦ Damn now i cant wait for reforged to see how i can modify the model to make it better :smiley:

combine that with as someone said smaller more fitted to body shoulderpads and its already much betterā€¦

Add a custom face textureā€¦ modify head, hairā€¦ bam :smiley:

I like your edit, but I would make face wider, add light beard, and make his hair fall a little differently.

I hate how Paladin Arthas looks in Hots. His face is terrible.

And this is how Jaina should look.

A little bit more stubble/grit on his face was something I was thinking of too.

But yeah, thereā€™s really not much Iā€™d take from the HOTS skin that makes him human Arthas. Except for, like you said just in general, a slight alteration to the hair. More straight than wavy.

Like a generic, bland, uninspired anime character?
