Archdruid Nightle

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
A hero unit based on my Main Character from WoW.
He is a Balance Druid, but currently doesn't have a morph animation. Maybe I'll add it in the future, but who knows.
This is my first custom model for Warcraft 3 and I tried my best to make it fit within the original art style. I'm expecting a few bugs with this model, so please share any that are found and I will try my best to fix them.
There is also a Team Color variant included with the bundle.

Thank you to all the kind people on the Discord server who helped me create this! And thank you to Darnish for the sanity help!

If you would like to see early concepts for this guy, feel free to check it out here!

Archdruid Nightle Standard (Model)

Archdruid Nightle Team Color (Model)

I love it this looks so cool and unique. I like having a new Druid model for all the Night Elf lovers out there.

The texture looks great and really fitting for Wc3 and the mesh is good too!

The only issue is the animations, they're good but at some points there seems to be clipping and the arms and certain body parts seem to stretch a little unnaturally at some points in some animations.

Other than a great addition!

Btw : adding team color to the feathers cape would look dope imo. (also, there is a slight bug in the walking animation in the preview)
I originally wanted to make all of the feathers team colored, but ran into some problems during the early testing for that.
Also the walking animation bug has been fixed! Thank you, Darnish!

I seem to have issues with exporting my animations from blender that don't translate one-to-one. But, I think with more practice, I'll be able to nail down these issues effortlessly! 😄

A very good & Warcraft-y custom model, custom skin, custom animations, custom icon??? For a first entry??? Who are you and how do you feel about Jungle Trolls? xD

Beautiful work, man. Welcome to the Hive & I'm very interested to see what else you have in store.


(If I had to nitpick, I'd say the icon could use a tiny bit less 'blue hero glow', primarily on the left-side of the face. Also a giant crescent blade staff is an ... interesting choice for a Night Elf (mostly the size; makes me think of a giant Grim Reaper scythe))
