Void Elf Customization Thread (Ascension of the Ren'dorei) (Part 1)

Oh hai! This is my character Nessa! The idea is basically a BE that became a VE later -her father was one of Umbric’s original group and she wanted to follow on her footsteps-

The design itself came about more or less the idea of how Alleria could look still like herself but with some VE specific traits -like starcursed hair as many people are calling it now- and it evolved on this monk character. The 3D render of the pink hair is her aswell!

Oh! I think this is a good place for this one; have been meaning to do a nicer version of it, nonetheless here it is, a concept for Void Tattoos that take after Alleria, but with more geometric dark naaru inspirations.

Excellent! I shall amend the post to give you credit when I can get to my computer!

A grand story.

Would you mind terribly if I included one or two more of these? I think I already have one of your hair renders up in the OP as well.

I do like the farstrider concepts that we saw with Alleria showing up in game.

Dramatic sigh, No one likes the eye mouth, it’s because one has to set up the scene for it.

Forest on a sweltering hot summers day. Void elf and dwarf are walking, annoying horsefly buzzing about them being a complete nuisance. Frog tongue shoots out of the mouth snatched the flay and… Crunching, Dwarf grimaces and steps back,… Blech! chewed up horse fly lands in the Dwarfs beard. The Void Elf shrugs. He has a sensitive palate, horsefly obviously disagrees with it.

I wanted to tell you that both your drawings and story of Nessa are beautiful, I love the entropic embrace look.

Thank you so much! She has been a lot of fun to draw; I really like when VE’s go really into the VE side of things, but I also like to think about aesthetics that could remain VE but looking more like Alleria. I really like the potential that VE’s have to cover that whole spectrum, while also giving a nod to the HE aesthetics people have wanted since Vanilla -cause I don’t really think HE’s are ever gonna be an AR at this point-

Also, Lunar Festival Nessa! https://64.media.tumblr.com/dbd8a825216f2115d7d13a2f0facae98/ecbfaa0d06543fed-e2/s540x810/4dd4c6291dadb674403fa610e4be28c48c17709e.png

Can you do one for the female model?

Or perhaps with a little spread of tentacles that are smaller to make a beard?

If you have the time and want to of course!

Uhh, this is mostly intended as a beard. lol, so I don’t think I want to edit it to a female model.
I have WIPs of multiple tendrils for males though.

Fair enough.

I was thinking of how female Draenei have em compared to the male Draenei… Not specifically a beard for that part.

The spread of tentacles was meant for a male toon.

I should have worded that all better.

the hair isn’t great and the tentacles could be better but her she is.

the same elf with some ethereal hair.

Yikes, I’m all for new options but besides a few cool things, but most of what’s presented in the OP is just downright hideous and unappealing imo.

Were not twisted abominations that have teeth growing out of our necks and eyes and were most definitely not octopuses.

Thanks I appreciate that. :hugs:

I was hella negative and insulting , no one uses that word in a positive way. It is meant to be rude and insulting. To answer your question No I was not I just wanted to try a style with the hair shaved off on one side.

Yeah, but they could be, and that’s way more interesting.

They’re inspired by Ethereals, not K’thir.
I’ve always said it just seems like people being petty and them wanting them to be “ugly” because they’re still mad the race just exists in the first place.

That word isn’t an insult, your being too sensitive.

That word is 100% extremely insulting there was no reason to use it.
