Lei Shen

Background Story

Emperor Lei Shen (pronounced LAY-shen), also known as the Thunder King, was the first emperor of the mogu and the most powerful warlord in mogu history. After stealing the power of storms from the titan keeper Ra, Lei Shen united the mogu clans into the first great mogu empire. Able to defeat even an August Celestial in combat, none were able to stop his goals of unifying Pandaria. During his rule, Lei Shen made several significant changes and contributions to Pandaria. The construction of the Serpent's Spine, the great barrier separating the dreaded mantid from the rest of the Empire, is often cited as his greatest achievement.
Pandaria, her hills of gold
潘达利亚,群山环绕
In dark and mournful times of old
黑暗时代,悠远古老
Did once a hopeless horror hold
绝望肆虐,恐怖笼罩
When from her sacred veil did spring
锦绣圣谷,雷电呼号
With storm and flash, a monstrous thing
天地齐暗,催生恶兆
His name Lei-Shen, the Thunder King
其名雷神,雷电之王
His thunder moved across the land
电闪雷鸣,大地枯槁
And none who dared and fought could stand
神力无穷,逆行无道
Against the iron tyrant’s hand
暴君铁腕,无人可逃
A palace grand, a walled domain
宫阙雄城,矗立云霄
Such mighty works born of his reign
王权威严,八方来朝
Built by slaves, their hearts in chains
可叹劳奴,披枷带镣
But seasons change and tyrant’s die
岁月侵耗,暴君难逃
His fury spent in times gone by
沧海桑田,云散烟消
The thunder slept beneath Kun Lai
雷电沉睡,昆莱山坳
By Zandalari hands he has been taken
赞达拉之血,为他祝祷
By Zandalari voice he has awakened
赞达拉之声,将他感召
Gather heroes, sound the drums
英雄齐聚,聆听号角
The Thunder King comes
雷电之王,即将来到
The Thunder King comes
雷电之王,即将来到

“I am Lei Shen, slayer of kings and gods. You have made a grave mistake.”
“吾乃雷神,弑君之君,诸神之神!你们犯了一个可悲的错误!”

I think this model has a chance to get DC.

But I noticed that no model has been set as DC in the past two years. How should I apply for DC review?
You don't apply, moderators discuss between them if the model is is worth the DC or not. But this model definitely has a chance to get that rating!

In fact, a few were given a DC after a re-moderation, like Taurer's Gul'Dan and Gluma's Ratling Gunner.

I like the overall look of the model, how concise it is, that it's not overloaded with details concerning mesh. I also like how the mesh is placed (when it starts on the skin and comes out as a piece of mesh), and the effects are also quite eye-candy and not too HD.

I don’t know the exact criteria for rating DS, but one of the weakest aspects of this model, if, say, we submit it for evaluation, I would call animation: 'Walk Fast', 'Spell Two', 'Spell Slam' and some other animations that are based on Eredar Warlock, in addition to the fact that they are already linearized, they still visually get in conflict with the custom animations that lack such smoothness and naturalness of movements (say, when you lock pelvis compeletely unmoved while the upper body is wiggling; some facial expressions, ect.).

Some things like the huge tail of bones that controls very "meshy" lightning whip could be optimized, and if you want it to be that "chainy" and flexible then you could give it a chance in more animations, IMO.

The skin to me seems somewhat "pushed on details", I mean that the contours and lines are sharper and thicker than standard game visuals. But this will not matter because it's of good quality.

But really, this is one of your most striking models, I would say, with a lot of invested effort and skills 👍 And, as far as I understand from the ratings from the moderators and according to my assumptions, High Quality should be ensured to you 👌
