The kelfin love/allied race discussion thread ✿

I didn’t care much for them tbh, but your concept art of the ladies is selling the idea really well to me.

I just need to make some more stuff for the males. I think I can do better on the druid forms over time. Some people mentioned they look too hybrid like. My art modeling skills have improved significantly since I started this thread.

I do love the idea of the hybrid forms as oppose to full replacement of your character, but as far as druid forms, snapdragon “cat” form comes to mind.

Yea. I think the mermaid and seadragon form could work very well even with the way druids are right now. This is because druids down have some humanoid like forms. Mermaids also could probbaly never be practical as a playable race. As a druid swim form though. Yea they could work.

Yesss!

And a Sea Turtle or something like that for their Bear form.

Maybe a large crab?

Travel form might be entertaining as a crab actually… a call back to the mount you get from the achievement.

Flight form would be a Ray of course.

Kelfin Druids would be top notch.

Heh, side walking crab travel form is 100% the right route to take, I agree.

It may be a bit unconventional, but given that crabs are armored, they could make for good “bear forms”.

I feel like for Druid forms, there are a lot of possibilities when you think about aquatic animals. Turtles and crabs seem like they would fit very well for bear forms.

Sounds like something fun to research to think of some Druid forms! :japanese_goblin::trident:

Even if they wanted to do something like a sharkbear would probably be pretty neat.

Also its not like Snapdragons are based off real animals.

Shark bear? Never heard of those.

I’m a guardian main and I want this right now.

That would be pretty sweet. I suppose a bearform could be some kind of bulky shark.

As others have likely seen in the other megathreads, I’ve been in a bit of a screenshot taking mood. I’ve been meaning to do some for Kelfin, so I checked some of the Gilblin mobs in Zuldazar, and found they were pick-pocketable! This means I can utilize Glyph of Disguise on them!

I feel that it helps to see images like this to better envision these races as playable races. Most people may think Kelfin, being an aquatic race, would look pretty odd just walking around places on land, but from what I saw, it really didn’t seem that odd.

Anyway, I took a few screenshots and will plan to do more as time goes on.

Kelfin in front of the Orgrimmar embassy.

The model is capable of riding mounts! However, I don’t have any of the Kelfin mounts to my knowledge. It’s something I think I’m going to work on as I start to do some stuff in Nazjatar again. I did have this underwater mount from the Darkmoon Faire, though!

Kelfin at the auction house! I took this to showcase the model around other player models. Just imagine this one is a newbie Kelfin player.

Depositing treasures at the bank! Lighting was a bit hard to work with, especially with the 5 minute timer on glyph of disguise, so I tried to take it as best as I could.

In front of Grommash Hold. Time was running out, so I took this one as best as I could.

Honestly, I don’t think they would look too out of place running around. I can see them riding different aquatic mounts and such in the area, including the snapdragon mounts. The aquatic theme would really make them unique and awesome to make designs for and such.

As I said, I’ll be taking more screenshots as time goes on in different locales, as well as looking for different types of Gilblin models I can turn into. Still hoping to be able to make real Kelfin characters someday! :japanese_goblin::trident:

Looks nice, could also potentially do representation events like has been done for other races using some rogues with the glyph and others with https://www.wowhead.com/item=112384/reflecting-prism

I helped for a couple Vulpera events before they were confirmed in that way, it was nice little bit of representation and get together

I usually use book of the unshackled, gurtoggles and gleaming pearl I think its called to accomplish that. With mount I usually go with my eel mount or ankoan wayray. Either works though.

I was hoping to see one of these here. :stuck_out_tongue:

For those curious, 20min of time if used back to back (1 hour cooldown each)

I love these threads.
The community puts more effort into theoretical game improvements than Blizzard does on the actual game.
