Female Undead Model - The New Character Models Look Freaking Cool

Blizzard just unveiled their first peek at the undead female model, and it looks fantastic, as all of these model revamps seem to. While for some reason we're only able to see the female Forsaken with her eyes closed, I think they really nailed that kind of dark, gothic look, while still showing that this is someone who at least used to be human.

Once again, I think they're doing a great job of making these new models updates of the existing ones, without alienating us with totally different looks.

Yes, the Forsaken are still missing the flesh around their elbows and knees, and they do have bones poking out at the back and out of their shoulders (I'm hoping they give the male model the more subtle shoulders-bones like the female model has, but we'll see.) While I'm sure a lot of people would have liked to see the elbow and knee joints filled out, now the bones are much more clearly what actual bones look like - kneecaps and all.

It also looks like the areas where the flesh ends are less of the kind of Jack-O-Lantern jagged edges that we have now. While I expect that gear will continue to tear where the flesh does, at the very least it will look like a natural tear. At the moment, my Undead Death Knight has leg plates that look like they were cut with a pair of scissors - that doesn't really make sense.

Anyway, we've now at least seen a glimpse of male Orcs, both kinds of Dwarf, both kinds of Gnome, both kinds of Undead, and male Tauren. That's 8/16 (or 8/20, if you count Blood Elves and Draenei.) Keep 'em coming, Blizzard!
