I'm going to agree with Kiote, as well. (HI KIOTE!) The blue accept on the lips has me worried that this is the final scheme. You'd think they'd change the overall skin tone before changing lip color. They also took great care with the pink and orange highlights in her air.

I guess I can relax a little, as some of you have mentioned that other primals follow the concept art very closely. I think Fern should be admonished for showing a hideous early stage to the fans, causing us to worry. I would rather have seen the texture-less model. BAD FERN!

I can see now why people complain so much about pictures of in-development content. Even if logically we know it'll be adjusted, we feel the need to provide feedback just in case they didn't intend to fix it. Regardless, it can't imagine a simple skin color change would be difficult.

Hey Yru!

That's the way I look at it. I'm not looking to debate the finer points of SE's Model Coloring, I'm just saying it looks finished to me and it looks wrong.

I did see a couple post back someone mention that she could have two forms. Having her suit up like Iceman could make for a pretty kool opening Cutscene.

Still think she looks more like Siren though. I think it's the ears, the eyes and the pink/orange.

Some dev response is required at this point. XD Sorry Ferne!

Please add the following to the OP:

Once the game model is finished, and it it has been given the real-time shaders (including colors/effects), it will look almost exactly like the concept art.

THIS is what she will look like.

Too many people just reading OP and nitpicking on the sculpt/sub-tool/layer colors.... /facepalm

It might be helpful, but it's not necessary.

Anyone who knows this process (and I do) can assure you that the colors on that model are meaningless in the context of her final game look. The concept art will shows what she will look like (just as Garuda and Ifrit are textured/colored to match their respective concept art)

You are not strong enough to put a halt to this circular conversation.

At least I can say "I told you so" ;)

I'd like to think that people might be clever enough to notice that the coloring on the sculpts looks nothing like the concept art (Which is both the foundation and the end goal of the model they are building)

This isn't rocket surgery people...

You'd think that the fact that the game is not released yet would be enough to assume that any images of future primals are unfinished... but...

Right! I agree.

People sit around and complain about being led around by quest arrows when they can't even understand what a Work in Progress screen grab is, even with multiple people informing them in multiple ways. Even from the main source of the blog "(This is normal map sculpt data created using ZBrush for those of you keeping track)" No where does it say "HERE IS THE FINAL SHIVA IN ALL HER GLORY!"
