Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I believe they intend it in the sense that a wood elf is ‘elegant’. Ie agile and ready to pounce.

That would also make sense if elegance is used in a way to depict finesse. I just feel like a lot of people are taking elegance = bunnymen striking a pose and looking fierce. Which, to me, is weird as hell considering their background.

I think they should mirror felines to a degree. A tiger can look very elegant and fierce when prowling through the jungle stalking prey - which is exactly what male viera are described as doing for a living. They also live in isolation for the most part so I doubt they will be overly concerned with presenting themselves as 'graceful' in the way some are suggesting.

I don't want something like in that signature. Nothing about it conveys viera's elegance, their mysteriousness, or the magical/fantasy woodland aspect of this race to me.

I'm not surprised, given your apparent tastes. At any rate, I don't think there is much appetite for male viera to be designed in the way that you are suggesting. I think lalafell are more to your tastes if what you desire is an unusually proportioned playable race with the capability for very androgynous design elements.

What is really wrong with the artwork? The faces may look a bit strange (but Viera are no humans either) but otherwise the body itself is just that of a slim person with maybe the neck being a bit off but as Senn pointed out, these are sketches. Nothing else on that artwork is bad and we have simply no clue on what the demand would be. (And I am not sure how you see Lalas being something that Senn wants when he has pointed out Omega M countless of times which is the body type of that Viera artwork with a correct neck)

In the end the most played male characters are the kittens and the hyurs, so I kinda doubt that there would not be a demand in that part for male Viera.

Roes themselves are the second least played male characters, only the male Au Ra are worse. Yet those that like bulky men are going to get Hrothgar on top of that, so I doubt that the last male would be another one of those. I also doubt that they would be smaller than female Au Ra. Everything else is imo still open, so I dont think we should say that there is not much appetite for such a male Viera when its mostly about Omega type body which would fit quite nicely in the game and would make them quite similiar to the female Viera. And seeing how most people are playing the more slender or normal built men but at the same time those dont have well proportioned tall men, I feel that this is exactly the place where male Vieras would fit.

Edit: Seemingly Roe do land behind Au Ra if you only look at the active players so its even worse for them.
