Author's Notes and Trivia:
  • Optimized models have built-in portrait animations, fixed bugs (if there were any), additional animation (if applicable). These can be used to serve as a template for alternative skins if you want to keep the original skin and model.

As I previously stated on the Druid of the Claw page, it looks great however the purple robes really, really throw it off. On the beta, I usually just see lots of shades of green, brown, grey and black when it comes to Kul'Tiran clothing. Perhaps use the robes of the Gul'dan model which are the same but black if you want to minimize the effort. However, a brown or dark green robe would really suit this model, and the Druid of the Claw one, if you could find the right in-game textures to match.

Also, making the bread that orangey brown color like in this model of yours would also improve it vastly, compared to the white.

5/5 +rep

Problem is I haven't seen any druid NPCs yet so I am sort of giving them the same color scheme as the Tidesages I guess:

I'll see if I can find any and take a couple screenshots off the beta and PM them to you; They basically have that whole wicker vibe to them. The Tidesages are like void cultists basically. They use water and void magic. You got the bear form and stag on point, however.

I can't PM you so I'll just leave it here:


So basically the Kul'Tiran druids are in Drustvar and they're called the Thornspeakers. They learned druidism from the Drust who have all but gone extinct except for one, Ulfar. Unlike normal druidism, the Drust practice druidic death magic, which is like the counterpart to normal druidism (ya know the whole balance of life, yin and yang, yadda yadda yadda). They wear shades of green and brown and lots and lots of skulls, thorns and brances on their armor.

Couple of screenshots I just took:

Also this Wowhead article shows all the forms for Kul'Tran druids for further inspiration.

Hope this helps <3

PS make more iron horde stuff. if not then how about Zandalar or Kul'Tiras building sets? :)

Maybe You Can Add The Blood Elven Version of Keeper of the Grove (Stag Mount). The Blood Elven version uses Blood Mage skin, Blood Elf Spell Thief skin, Lord Garithos skin, Necromancer skin, Blood Elf Dragonhawk Rider skin, and Blood Elf Lieutenant skin.

Nice model. Can you do the Mountain King (Ram Mount) ? It has the four versions (Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, Dark Iron and Red Armor)
