More options for klyros
« on: January 26, 2010, 02:47:52 am »
Klyros are the second most played character (I know this as a fact.) Yet they only have one model male or female so without the names it is impossible to figure out who is who in my guild without the name tag and mistaking female klyros for male...


I have an ego so large it has it's own gravity. So in short, yes, everything does revolve around me.

ya that bugs me i tend to think a lot of girls are guys when they are klrose till i read the desc, or they upright just tell me,
but there is a female modle being worked on i think, these things just take a while, the dev's are probably more busy working with the races that have no models at all...

I can't wait to see the female klyros model, but yes, it'd also be nice to customize the face, wings, default outfit, etc. Really, the same goes for all races, though.

@ Drahlion1221: Even ideas about how the traits could differ, in respect of the androgyne nature of Klyros (no mammals, egg laying creatures don't need female breasts), could already be an inspiration for skilled artists.

@ Earowo: If you can paint, then we will find a way together to get your pictures shown here.

Sketches are about the first thing 3D artists need, so post some if you have any.

So wider hips on the females, maybe chest clothing even if there aren't breasts (just out of following social norms and to differentiate between genders), maybe different-sized wings?

I'm a decentish artist; I could whip up some sketches and maybe a couple watercolours to show what I'm talking about here.

Agreeing with these two posts. There needs to be a *slight* distinction to tell females from males. While the males are only in loin cloths, the females could be slimmer in body shape and wear a tunic and pants, maybe even a dress.

I'm just suggesting, probably won't come soon(tm) but everything has to start someplace!

I kinda think it should be the opposite of that, Females wear loincloths and a shirt, and males don't wear a shirt, and wear just pants.

Chest clothings don't make sense for females with no breasts. You've got one opportunity here to do something fantasy.

To distinguish M/F, I would go with something simple and obvious (to the human eye) like a head attribute; for example a crest, but it could be more creative as well. A size difference (as in larger females) may be good, but may not be obvious enough. Yet, don't neglect the fact that a male body could be very different than a female body; no need to be subtle here if the resulting sketches tell the tale.
On the other hand, it could be fun if the revealing attribute was only a shape of wings, not visible if all you have is a front view of the person you meet.  ;D
