I would like to state something against the people who complain that Blizzard hasn't create a new model for Deathwing for WoE dungeon.
I'd assume that quite a few of you has read the trilogy from R. A. Knaak and so you might remember that the physical change of Nelthation occured after he first used the Demon Soul to massacre night elves, demons and dragons alike. He had to retreat (which might have as well been the only reason why only blue dragonflight was utterly destroyed)
@deatheree nope, Read the book please, he went insane and then created the dragon soul, so he had more power and aspects couldnt stop him, because of their essence in it. Dragon soul was never created for a good cause
@terminario8000 It worked much like the ring in 'Lord of the Rings' - Neltharion had put so much of his own essence into the relic that it destroyed him. That doesn't mean it was good that he created it in the first place.
@MrScootycz i know that deathwing (neltharion) went insane but he created it to stop the demons and he thought the other aspects were corrupted (thanks to the old gods) that is why he didnt allow the other aspects to destroy it (if im wrong im wrong but i did read the books)
wow this is awesome i dont get why blizzard dont hire you cause in well of eterety neltharion looks like deathwing wich is completely stupid is blizzard to lazy to make new models ?? !! wtf
@noreak1 He's been deathwing for most of his existence, The old gods Corrupted him almost after the Titans created the Dragon aspects and he has been hiding in deepholm for sometime until cata
blizzard doesnt care for quality lol so stop getting your hopes up. For each expansion blizzard becomes less interested in quality and just want to make faster expansions to get more players to wow, wich is why they dont give a shit about what model they use in Well of eternity, because the newcomers to wow, wich is biggest % playing today, wont know a shit about that big dragon with metal jaw, most of them, will acctually just talk to their drakes and skip it, and never see the cinematic there.
it's a great model. but the texture on it might need a little work. the red in the wings and other leathery parts in the current deahwing model are consistant with the look of other black dragons that haven't been torn apart. also in other black dragons their undersides tend to be a lighter color
@anime1973 However, as an aspect, his model colouring is slightly different to the rest of the dragonflight. Think about Onyxia as well, she's part of the black dragonflight, yet she is slightly more purple, than reddish-black
Good job, did something for free, and high quality what Blizzard cant do, with gazillion dollars they make, and apparently "they didnt have resources for it".
The fact that they didn't use this model for Well of Eternity, but instead chose to use the metal jaw one, shows how far Blizzard has fallen in terms of making quality work.
@DaystarEld You're wrong. They stated they would have loved to have made a pre-dragonsoul model for Neltharion, but it would have been too time consuming. There's a good post made by Daxxari about this.
@plutarch78 Yeah, I know: it was my thread Daxx posted that in :P
If you ask any company, of course they're going to say they "would have loved to" make a better product. You know what separates the good from the great? *The great ones do it.*
"the use of the current Deathwing model in that scene was a matter of efficiency...it didn't make sense to dedicate the huge resources it takes to create a custom model for that one cameo." -Daxx. But yeah, that humanoid DW model was vital.
I looked into the Lore on Deathwing, aswell as reading the War of the Ancients, and it says that he is describes as having jewels, ores and minerals scattered down his chest, and back, don't get me wrong tho, this looks simply Badass, and I'm not trying to be a douche here, but thats what I would picture him like, more Earthly looking, than plain black.
all in all i got to say that you did a great job at this, as far as i know the green and yellow dragon aspects do not look unique compared to the other ones. you should try making them next, you will probably do a sick job and get blizzards attention
i also got to say based on what @nataliaoaks143 said his chest is huge, but i also think that all the dragon aspects should have there own unique look to them and just the name "earthwarder" should mean that he is larger then the other aspects if he can change how the earth looks
@thetrueguitarher0 if you're referring to the Deathwing's huge chine in wow, well that's his armor. His body is like a ticking time bomb and his armor are those the only thing that keeps him stapled. I always imagined this is what Deathwing looks like prior in War of the Ancients 10 thousand years in the past.
@nataliaoaks143 I know his chin is plates, I was just saying that his chest is too big, vaanel took the plates off his chin but forgot about the ones on his chest, so his chest looks gigantic compared to his head. it is a very good model though way bettter then what I could do
I am note entirely sure about the appendage on his tail. I think you should look at that part. Otherwise, -amazing-. Reminds me of some of the fanart I have seen of Neltharion pre-cata.
I'd like to point out (how to improve this) is that Neltharion, as the Earth Warder, has small slivers of crystal and metal ores (gold, silver, iron, copper etc.) running all over his body. If you could add some of these, the model would look even more terrific than it already does!
...... sorry to say this after the work u did when deathwing was the earth warder he didn't look like he does now, he looked more like a dragon aspect or like alextraza..... he got sort of mutated....
@Taelaspwnz actually that is most likely what he would look like. he was never mutated he just had metal pates welded to his body to keep his own power from tearing him apart
@revan0066 i'm not trying to make any argument or make anyone upset but in the book, before he detonated the dragon soul, he had gems and all sorts of royal looking decorations on him. He would not look this bland,(no offence to the creator) He still looks pretty evil in this, which he wasn't, he was described to be sagely and wise looking. This looks more like his current state, before the hour of twilight or the final battle, it seems like his magma cracks and plates were removed.
@revan0066 I'm not trying to start and argument or anything but i want to say that in fact, in the books he was said to have gems and other decorations in his skin, he would look more sagely and wise and there is no way anyone would think this dragon looks sagely or wise. Secondly he would resemble a dragon aspect instead, this is a striped down "deathwing model" not a earth warder model at all. And as a correction for myself deathwing was not mutated but instead he was deformed, still altered.
@revan0066 you forgetting why he needed to have his body repaired and patched up. There is no way he used the dragon soul without being deformed. Also you can see his teeth are still broken, before he was never significantly damaged so his teeth would not be busted like that.
I like it, but I think it might look a little better if you stretched out his body a little bit. He seems a bit squashed together (no offence). Very nice details though.
Tbh, i think that Neltharion will never be purified (i suppose that this is the "purified" form of Deathwing), the Dragon's Soul has twisted his mind and his own body, nice work however!
@Intaanis They sure as hell could've used used for for the 4.3 patch. Watching armored and lava deathwing fly around 10,000 years in WoE before he was supposed to look like that was fail.
Know what's disgusting? That Blizzard claimed that they 'didn't have the resources' to do a model for Deathwing in WoE, so they put him there as he was corrupted.
