This would infuriate me so much, I can’t stand the obsession with blue eyes and would abandon my DK eyes if I had the option.

This is perfectly on brand for Blizzard. It’s pretty much exactly what they did with Lichfire eyes on DK players. Apparently they forgot those came from the Lich King’s helmet.

I’ve wanted to have red eyes on my Death Knight ever since I learned that Orc Death Knights would be an option. I feel your pain. But there has to be a catch somewhere…
We asked for High Elves, we got Void Elves.
We ask for Mag’har ever since TBC Outland, they give us the ones from the AU Draenor.
We ask for Dragonsworn, they give us another new and original creation.
We ask for Nightbourne, we get constipated old men.
There’s always a catch.

No fangs. Just regular human teeth. The horror…

Honestly that’ll probably be what happens even though we know REGULAR Thalassians have fangs motions to Sylv AND Alleria in cinematics

Well, regardless, I wish you guys luck. I’m not a not a fan of anything Elven-adjacent, but I can find joy in others finding joy.

Thanks for the luck! Well wishes in what you’d like as well. I really do hope they’re listening to folks in general. There are some good signs they are, at least. Hopefully.

I want those Dragonmaw Orcs, but I have a feeling that we’ll have a WoD repeat with Dragonflight: finally, an opportunity to showcase the Clan in all its glory, and a narratively logical opportunity to further develop them… and they’ll be completely absent.
But yeah, keeping my ear to the ground, all signs point to something for this crowd happening sooner rather than later. I’m rooting for you!

Wanna see something cool, folks?
So I’m working on a project separate from here, a monster anthology. I wrote the vampire lore for it (there’s two types; trueborne and undead). The undeads are bat-based. An awesome writer friend of mine helped me commission Dracula!
I wrote the monster lore, and this art isn’t mine, but it’s made from my written design 
It’d be really neat if we got wings like that for San’layn 
Oh also, he’s got the really cool ears I’d love to see on vampyr elves.

Now that is glorious!
Can you go into the differences between your bat based and undead based vampires? Trueborne and Undead? That sounds interesting.

Sure I will!
So, I’ve designed vampires based off of animals for quite a while. For my main series, they have venom, quite like snakes & the digestive bacteria of vampire bats.
However, for this anthology, their origin is harpy-like in nature. I based my vampires off of blood-drinking/carnivorous birds. Three to be specific, though I might expand: The Kea, Oxpecker, & Vampire Finch. Trueborne vampires have a diet of 90% humanoid blood, 10% nuts & seeds.
Then, there’s pseudo, or “undead” vampires. Dracula wanted more power (though isn’t really an antagonist, he just wanted to be able to protect those he’s close to more) and so underwent a ritual with several other truebornes, which corrupted him via magic. He became bat-like as opposed to bird-like, losing his feathers and getting bat wings instead.
Truebornes have feathered wings, bird-like legs, and some feathers in their hair. They also have tail feathers. Their traits vary. Meanwhile, these traits morphed in Dracula & other undead vampires into having traits like bats. Undead vamps can turn humans & truebornes into themselves via the ritual.
I’ll be getting art of one of my truebornes soon.

Reminds me a bit of Legacy of Kains Vampires once they expanded their lore during the Soul Reaver series.
Very neat. I like it.
Also that picture of Dracula is amazing. I can’t wait to see the trueborn variant.

There should definitely be a red option, I wouldn’t even mind some others like yellow.
I know they’ve shown a variety of colors with the various art pieces of the San’layn.
I’d like to see Death Knights get a few extra options and maybe even the OPTION to link it to what space you’re in similar to how you can transmog.
I quite like the red eye effect the Venthyr plate helm adds. It’d be cool to have that and a green and maybe even the maldraxxus green as extra options.
Maybe even making the wispyness effect that was new to Shadowlands an optional toggle. I kinda like it, but there may be some who don’t. Options!

Did you mean being able to set barber shop options per spec like how you can set transmog per spec? If so, I’d love that!
Sometimes you have two different mogs you’d like to be able to switch between on the fly, but they each need different barber shop options to work.
Sure, I was mainly referencing the eyes, but any or all would be fine by me.
If you wanted red eyes in blood spec, set it that way, blue in frost, sure…or mix and match to whatever armor you’re wearing.
Yeah, you can already set up mogs that way, so being able to pair some barbershop stuff as well would be a cool addition.
