Simple variations on Sylvanas

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is to be considered simple editing of Sylvanas's model and portrait using the stock archer textures.
Three variations: high-, blood-, and night elven. The unit models are simple rewraps, while the portraits have been elaborated on a little more.
No use of custom textures.

Uploaded to the resource database for best indicization, tagging, visibility but is a simple edit in nature. Please refer to the simple edit resource thread post to discuss: Hive's Simple Edit Resources Thread

Anyone can use and edit these, just give credit please.

Edit: crediting experimental system was just absurd. Has been removed as of last update.

Known issues:
- portrait: eyebrows clipping

Updates:
- 2017.07.30: updated the night elven portrait. The light emanating from the pupils is now represented by a static plane instead of a particle emitter, improving the look during head motions of the model. Taking inspiration from the beautiful portraits of night elven units made by @kangyun an additional blue glow was added before the eyes in the form of a static plane.

This is a too simple edit for it to be approved and quite honestly some of the wraps look very bad. Models work in-game. Moved to sub-standard.

Hey thanks for the comment red star :)
They're variations based on SylvanusWindrunner.mdx and that's the reason for the resource name. They aren't meant to necessarily represent Sylvanas. The truth is that these have been a nice initial experiment on portraits, I liked the way they look and I decided to publish them for anyone interested. :)

Indeed. This variant of High-Elf could be used as an Upgrade, just like Troll Headhunter to Troll Berserker. The upgrade could be High Elf Archer to High Elf Ranger or Markswoman.

Good idea at all!

Hey man this was answered before, I'll repeat quickly. Not meant to necessarily be sylvanas. Could represent a living sylvanas, it could represent some other ranger. Depends on taste.
The title is because the base model is Sylvanuswindrunner.mdx.
