SOTE Bow Maiden and Hippogryph Rider

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
A human version of the High/Blood Elf Archer.

Bow Maidens are the ranged backbone unit of the Sisters of the Empire. Unlike their Elven counterpart, these archers have better precision, accuracy and training. This can also mount a tamed Hippogryph to take to the skies, searching revealed units. Unlike their Night Elven counterpart, it cannot be dismounted.

I added the second layer pauldrons, a cloak and a pelvis loincloth for a better look and instead of Elven ears, I replaced it with Human ears and shrinking to Human eyebrows from an Elven one.

Change log on 05/20/20: Emissive changed to teal color and the tile mail in the hands.

Change Log on 08/29/20: Revamped version, replacing blonde hair with mahogany-red hair from a villager woman hair, Footman/Priest bulky pauldrons with Jaina's one and Braces from Sea Witch Hero.

Change Log on 03/20/21: Icon is added.

Update on 05/08/21: Improved version and fully clothed.

Update on 08/31/21: Glowing eyes removed.

Update on 11/11/21: Revamped version.

Update on 12/27/21: The mounted Hippogryph Rider version is added.

Instead of the classic human male archers, I prefer human female archer which I dream of.

The model is interesting but It feel a bit too much elven (face and a bit the armor) - if you could at least polish the face could be better I guess.

Thanks, but make sure these two model files must contain spaces when you edit to the asset manager like this; BowMaiden.mdx and BowMaiden_Portrait.mdx
Of course, don't worry, I just tried it into the WE and it is looking great :) I would've seen a more "human" eyes colors, but still, it doesnt change the quality of the model :)

Yeah, thanks.

The revamped version is full human with the female villager's body.
