Githyanki Lae'zel / Night Elf Blade Master

[Kyrbi0]

Great to see this released!

 

[salamalajka]

Do you plan to make Shadowheart?

 

[Bleeq]

Do you plan to make Shadowheart?

Yes, it'll be "Chosen of Shar", so shadowy/dark justiciar.
I also have a plan to use that frame and animations for another idea, after I do it...

But I'd like to do a couple more kobold models before I attempt that

Oh and eventually I might do a male bard, with a conversion to Wyll, even if most people don't like him lol.

Very good, looks like she is wearing leather armor (+0)with those green pants, I hope to see her with gith medium armor too, nice touch with fist being changed to open hand, very wise, maybe I'll use this move later. Swords and anims are cool.

Spoiler: Big spoiler only for those who played Baldur's gate 3

Spoiler: you been warned

To be honest I feel bad for mocking and killing Laezel in first playthrough for her funny frog undead looks and how gith were hostile in neverwinter and how everyone simped for shadowheart(she killed laezel in camp, also laezel killed my character in camp too), although my favourite is Astarion on second playthrough she seem like cool and epic character in the end

I added the alternates with metal and TC boobs to be a bit more accurate, but I can't be bothered making her like an exact copy. I think she looks sufficiently Warcrafty this way. I definitely can't be bothered making armour plates and stuff to hang off her.

Spoiler: BG3 spoilers

I'd probably personally say Shadowheart > Wyll > Lae'zel.
first time I left her at the cage because she was rude, and only saved her later where the gith blow up the bridge. I really liked her after doing the creche, but in second play through I romanced her and it was instant regret
First play I never even used Wyll, but when I did I liked his characterisation. He's like a guy that's trying his hardest to do the right thing but stuff goes wrong. I can relate to that lol.
Shad has the best story (which isn't saying much) but it goes off the rails after Thorm, like pretty much everything else in the game.
The other three had ridiculous stories. The only interesting thing about karlach was she dumped me after I became a partial Squidward, so I backstabbed the Emperor and made her into a Squidward as revenge.
My head-canon is I had her assassinated in the sewers after the end of the game.

 

[warius83]

This is great, but I beleive we all would like to see the best character in BG 3: Minthara, I hope for her too!

 

[deepstrasz]

Not sure why this is tagged as Alien/Futuristic xD but anyways, works quite well for Final Fantasy little wielder, big sword stuff.

 

[hexhound]

Very cool.

 

[Deolrin]

Oooh, that thing you did for Spell is clever. Very inspired. I second Gree-D, might steal this one day lol.
Well done, fun adaptation. I think she deserves her own dedicated higher poly portrait with a proper face. And she should also be more green.

 

[Garcis]

Pls make the bg3 cast

Well Acxtually, Githyanki are more or less analogous to aliens in their setting. But I get your point. Should I also remove the anime tag?

I've moved the portrait to improve illumination and frame the face more traditionally. If someone else wants to make a better head for her, they can go for it, but I'm nearly at the end of my tether.
I also thought she was green! but I sampled a screencap of her face and couldn't find any green parts. It seems to be an optical illusion of the yellowy/grey parts in contrast to the redder parts. anyway, I've tinted all her skin a bit more grey, hopefully that's good enough.

Main thing is, she's feature complete now, but there's tedious work forwarding all the changes across to the other skins, like Shandris.

There's a minor problem, in that Spell Channel and Spell Slam have psychic effects that are purple, which won't work well with Shandris. So If anyone (quickly) has ideas on what to change it to, I'd like to hear it. I'll probably go with yellowy/green as long as it doesn't look too radioactive.

 

[Bleeq]

The Githyanki and Shandris_BM models available should now be feature complete.

Swords and anims are cool.

I'd say Attack 2 was influenced by your knightess.
The portraits are probably influenced by Tilinghast's female orc, troll and his Goblin Emperor model.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Why does this have Night elf Tag?

 

[General Frank]

Why does this have Night elf Tag?

There is a Nightelf version. You just need to scroll down a little from the top.

It'd be nice if this had the generic Blademaster spin animation.

 

[Bleeq]

It'd be nice if this had the generic Blademaster spin animation.

It wasn't something I wanted personally, but it's a fair call because probably a lot of other people would want it.
I'll put it on the to-do list.

It really shouldn't be that difficult, but it does mean adding a lot of meshes and junk to the model that isn't used 99% of the time.

 

[Bleeq]

It'd be nice if this had the generic Blademaster spin animation.

I've added Bladestorm animations to both models, but they differ with normal BM a bit.

 

[deepstrasz]

Well Acxtually, Githyanki are more or less analogous to aliens in their setting.

Indeed, elves are aliens in Norse mythology as well, some at least.

 

[Bleeq]

If someone good at drawing would like to help me with Shadowheart, it would make it a lot easier:

Shadowh

I just think I need the ears and face, everything else can come from standard textures.

ATM they map to night elf archer.

 

[ILH]

You should remove the unused "DEPspell" animation on both models and some of the unused bones on the Shandris variant.

Okay, okay, if you're so insistent

and some of the unused bones on the Shandris variant.

Sometimes I leave things in because I think it would make it easier for people to modify the model. It isn't very helpful in this case, but what would be the protocol in future?

e.g. I'm working on my golem variations, and there are 2 death animations, so by deprecating one of them, people can just edit the model to choose which one they want.

You can always leave them as pastebin attachments in the description.

 

[Jeine]

Awesome and unique

 

[ILH]

A good looking female hero with custom animations.
Works in-game. Approved!

 

[Bleeq]

Minor polish update.
The portraits should be better, and removed some jank from the attacks plus other stuff. Changelog will have the boring details.

 

[Greedy Martyrdom]

Just noticed the spin attack animation update, simple but it is nice touch that can be fresh

 

[Bleeq]

A small update for the Night Elf. The legs are much better in all animations (they aren't bowed anymore). Added more armor to make her look like a standard sentinel; it also breaks up the purple textures better. I'm very happy with Attack 2 now, it's basically how I always intended (see below). I was still having problems in testing but I realised I set the Backswing low (It matters!). Some other little things. Haven't updated the Lae'zel version.

Spoiler: Attack comparison

 

[Sarsaparilla]

really good, good animation, sword is cool.

 

[Nikita17]

OMJ

 

[KenArok]

Yeah.. Oh my Vlaakith ..

 

[Krumpe]

Google Chrome tried saying the file was "sus,"

because it apparently wasn't "downloaded enough."

Also, good work. Love my lady Lae'zel, she got rough edges but a heart of gold.
