Sounds like a text-book case of a “Luckydon’t.”

They look very first draft at the moment
The same way you make a dragon clearly male without adding a dingle.
Body shaping/contouring.
I am really becoming concerned at how many posters seem to think only breasts can make a person appear female.
Link?
I have only seen the male one.

They were made to be light, mobile, ranged fighters. You don’t see big beefy paratroopers.
Tweaking, sure. And its already been said that there will be body shape options. Animation refinements? Of course
But really, I want the theme of the Drac’s natural form being androgynous to stay at the core of the design. These aren’t dragons hatched to breed, but to fight. That they present a humanoid form at all is really a choice they make, an outfit they put on.

They’re wonky lookin’, disproportionate upright lizards with embarrassing animations. They’re truly terrible in my opinion but, then again, so are mechagnomes and those little abominations have legions of fans.

I think you can still make them these lanky androgenous reptilian triathletes but fix their proportions. The more I look at it the weirder it looks to me. I’m honestly pretty surprised that this model managed to pass all the review rounds and be approved for promo materials.
Somewhere within Blizzard HQ theres a Jira ticket with a badass Dracthyr image attached to it that didn’t get approved. And an artist itching to say “I told you so.”

Yeah I saw this art work and I completely agree with this, the model on the right looks significantly better

I hate the zbrush one. It’s weird and blocky. They added a heavier dragon body. I thought everyone was happy?
Indeed, I definitely agree we need more customization, nothing wrong with the visage choices being human and elf, and it’s definitely more logical in term of developement, but it would be nice if they did more beyond that, include other races that people wanted to display as their visage form.
A good example I saw elsewhere was this.
Imagine how players, specifically female players would of felt in Cataclysm if they had been informed “When you make a Worgen, your human form for Two Forms will look like the Kul’Tiran female.”
Such a thing would of been received by players in the manner Taliesin calls a S—show. That’s why I say either give both models to players, or redo the male or the female model to look a lot more like their opposite. We should be shooting for equality across genders here, not the perception of a suboptimal experience for one gender or the other.
Surely people can understand that concept.
no. that is a horrible comparison
No it’s not. But we both know why you won’t admit it.
It really is bad. I know you think it’s good.
We both know why your against equal treatment regardless of the gender. I get it, or you would not be against male Drak’thyr getting the choice of either male Blood Elf or male human, and females getting the choice of female Blood Elf or female human for their disguise.
You intentionally run from logic and honesty because it’s antithetical to your narrative.

That is a despicable thing to say. You should feel ashamed.
I think an entirely different solution would be far better. Since you prefer to speak for me I’ll allow you to make up the solution for me you vile excuse for a human being.
I really like the Dark Souls dragon form. Dracthyr really remind me of that.
Having played Skyrim and seen much fan stuff, it doesn’t bother me too much, but it is kinda odd for a reptile. But what about snack packs? 
I love that version there on the right. I wanna play that.
