So, I just wanted to pop in to clear things up.

The ZBrush models you see are a Work In Progress. The colors you see are mostly for aesthetic purposes so the designer's eyes don't bleed after staring at a grey blob all day, and the final textures will more than likely end up being a lot similar to what is shown in the original concept art. YAY!

Even with that said, works in progress are just that, and as the work progresses, Yoshi-P may have an epiphany and decide to give her a second head, convert one of her legs into a machine gun, and rename her Jezebel (hopefully not, though... At least the second head part...)

Either way, I apologize again for the confusion, and in future Dev Blog posts, we'll make sure that works in progress are properly tagged and branded.

For those of you not familiar with ZBrush, a few users such as Hulan, Zantetsuken, Imoen, and Gramul have already posted (in this very thread!) some basic info on the program, and what it's used for.

"THEY MENTIONED MY NAME THEY MENTIONED MY NAME!" lol J/k thanks for the official response, Take care back to work myself :)

*And thanks for the Zbrush images really cool to see it :D

I like to bake.

As I've been glossing over these forums in the past few weeks, I find myself ever more fervently wishing that I could bake pies, cookies, cakes and cupcakes for the dev team.

*sigh*

Ferne is lying, the rendered model must be closer to final product, Im always right and everyone else is wrong

I can't believe Ferny had to come out and re-clarify this...some people in this forum could make Gandhi flip a table in rage..Elexia keeps spouting BS left and right i'm holding my right hand atm to not type what i really want to. Pulling TERA and WoW into this is stupid as it gets....not a single god damn primal looks identical from one game to another and not a single primal has different color in-game than what they do in the Artwork...the only in-game thing that doesn't have artwork colors is the BLM AF but that's irrelevant ,This Shiva looks AMAZING!!

You are my hero.

She looks good! Maybe they need to change her skin color look more blue?

Nope, I had not. I work two jobs, and I just got home for the evening. Got 5 pages in and agreed with others who expressed their opinion that the coloring on the render was way off. But reading Ferne's post was a big relief (and I made an edit to my post to acknowledge that).

For those with snarky comments about how it should be obvious to the people who posted those opinions that the coloring won't be the same as the finished product... might I remind you of a phrase that bit us in the arse in the summer of 2010. "It's only beta."

I never assume with SE that something is not presented as intended unless it's made abundantly clear.

Anything else, whatever. But when it looks like they're gonna start deviating from conventions like a blue Shiva, I start to question the devs' frequently mentioned goal of fan service. That being said, I'm excited for how she looks now that I know those colors aren't final. I'm also curious if there will be some NPC comment on the emergence of the more humanoid Primals. Garuda was a start, but Shiva, Ramuh, and Odin aren't animal-like in the least.
