Empyrean concept art

Obamanizer

Really wish the in-game female model matched its concept art and didn't look like an angry human with pointy ears...... it lost ALL elegance that I believe an elf should have and that the concept art had.... please change it to be more dignified and elegant like the original concept.

Now to fanmade concept.

I must be missing something, because you're asking for elves that are not "angry humans with pointy ears" then posted a bunch of images that are exactly that. A good portion of those male images don't even have the pointy ears.

I'm just genuinely curious what distinguishing differences would matter most in what makes an elf for you. High cheekbones and sharp/sloping jaw lines are pretty standard and seem to be the highlighted characteristics in these renditions. Oh and mascara.

I'd argue that the Empyrean customization will more than cover those attributes.

I like how in some of them the ai creates pointy hair behind the ears because it got confused. Hehehe

id argue that all of the female renders and the original concept art have an elegance to their presentation that is completely lacking in the ingame creation. it may have to due with Eye shade, Shape, depth, or possibly with skin smoothness or lightness. But the concept feels significantly more dignified and proud vs the ingame.

just a rough rendition of smoother skin and some eye shadow makes the ingame seem a little closer to concept. and yes, i get that it can likely be made so in the character creator, but this was what was showcased as its concept counterpart.

I see a lot of fanart of angry humans with pointy ears... that we call elves... that's what they are.... humans with pointy ears

and as i said, it IS what you can do with character creator, but what was shown as the face of its representation was a poor representation

@Obamanizer what caught my eye is that they look like adults, healthy, beautiful mature adults

In other games when the artists try to create fantasy characters that look pretty, they just make them very young almost as they are 16-17... so by mistake they just infantilize the characters

But these Empyreans here are mature adults, yet full of vitality and youth, this is perfect for elven

This art here is way above the average and without the mistake of infantilizing the characters
These characters are relatable

This is a great job, top shelf
