Sylvanas & Vereesa Windrunner

This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
Finally, I can release these!!

Been sitting on these two skins for awhile! Basically have been working on them ever since Tauer finished Alleria's texture, which was a couple years ago now.

As y'all might be able to tell, Vereesa was finished long before Sylvanas (I did a Sylvanas skin first, then Vereesa, then I scrapped the old Sylvanas skin and did a brand new one like a year later) so her reskin is a bit more simplistic. Will probably get around to redoing Vereesa later on, but I'm happy enough with it for an initial release.

Update: Added in-game screenshots.

Approved. Please add an ingame screenshot.
The WarCraft story's been retconned countless times, but I can understand the layout.
  • Alleria Windrunner + Blond Hair = "Lady Sun"
  • Sylvanas Windrunner + Pale Blond Hair = "Lady Moon"
  • Vereesa Windrunner + White Hair = "Little Moon"
Anyway, great job on the skinz!
Thank you very much! And yeah, those nicknames were part of the reason I went with those designs, as well as to just give each sister more differentiating looks. ^.^

Really awesome, they both looks great! I think the only thing I find odd would be the mark on Sylvanas's face (tear mark that was burned onto her face when Arthas tore her soul out and transform her into a banshee). I personally don't think it should be there for her living version.

Regardless, really well done!

Yeah, I debated with myself on that one, but it was a creative decision to create more variation between the three sisters. For the eventual Dark Ranger Sylvanas skin I'll do, the tears marks will definitely be expanded and more noticeable, but I liked the idea of a more subtle, makeup version for her living form.

That aside, thank you very much!

good work, gentlemen
Tauer's the only gentleman on the team, here, but thank you, regardless! :wink:

Basically, it looks too good to the point when if you want to use it with WC3 models. The style and quality would crash with one another, creating inconsistency in visual. I don't believe OutsiderXE mean to offend anyone by this input, and merely stated he wish the quality of all WC3 models has this standard and quality.

I really do like this myself, especially Ranger General Sylvanas skin.
 
I weish all models had this quality. The only thing preventing me from getting this is the fact that it will stand out from all the other models.
Yeah, that is a "downside" to Tauer's style, but he and I tend to agree that Hero units in particular should be allowed to stand out a bit, haha. The style is close enough to the original that I personally don't find it too distracting, but fair enough if you disagree.

Maybe someday Tauer will have a ton of free time and he can revamp the whole game! We can only hope~

Tell me about it. If he were to have free time, I personally wouldn't mind him updating the Alleria model, so she goes dual as part of her alternate animation when we toggle, because even Zul'jin has that.
Of course, I wouldn't bother him because it's all up to him to decide.

I'm sure it's on his list of eventualities! But I also know he hates making alternate animation sets (Zul'jin nearly killed him, lmao), so it's probably pretty low priority. :xxd:
