You've probably seen this here before, but why not, after all... Great ideas by Reddit artist Fullmime!
My absolute favorite is the one on the left. Can't call myself a fan of naked cat faces a la Ferres from AA. But the one on the left is good enough - still more refined than the man's face, but fully in keeping with the Hrothgar as a race.

I 100% expect the "Ronso" face to look the most humanoid, and honestly still don't trust them to not yassify it, but as long as at least one other face is like the one in the left, I'm happy.

Now a question I've been wondering is...would they have face-locked racial hair like the males, or would they all be interchangeable*, along with the universal hairstyles, and how many of them would they have from the get go /think

*and if they do, does that brings hope the male ones will be unlocked too? I surely hope so - Bajsaljen's cowlick is so cute but I want it on my Runar faced Hroth :C

I really feel there's not enough appreciation for female beasts and I love them when they're included. I still remember my grumpy female troll I made in DAoC.

This is beautiful! I love how menacing yet mysterious she looks! I could also see her be altered to look very soft and cute, bravo! Perfect for the female version of face 1 (Runar)!

Guess the only way to know, is to see what comes when we start reaching the gates for 7.0

(Thanks for the response btw, rather have a long one, than a short one. unless it's so undeniably well written short response, but there was a lot to be said.)

Hopefully, they start to show that, what was/is expected of the Race.

It'll take a determined-intent for them to do route the race(s lore) back on track. [reaching 5months left til the First FanFest.]
Could go on and on about how it could be put on track, but I feel at this point everyone's had enough of that for this topic for awhile.

[There was an article about their possible "scale" for the coming months/FFest. But even that is just words from articles that don't amount to much]

I have noticed that a lot of people talk about body shapes and heads. Which is fair, that would be the first thing you notice even with the males, but there is also the chest fur that they have, you know the one that is tied to the hair colour.

Do you guys think that female Hrotgar will have that fur? I would personally like it, though I know that if they add it would be smaller, less prominent, maybe above the chest and only on the shoulders, wrists and ankles, but in much smaller amounts than that of the males.

If anyone remembers the old male Viera art from Heavensward, one of them, in particular, had a tuft of hair on their chest, I think that IF they would add the chest fur for female Hrothgar might look similar to that.

Something like this:

Ngl I wish fur patterns were also an option, not just the markings in the fur. Probably hard, if not impossible, since those patches have different 'skin' textures to begin with, but one can dream

I REALLY wish the fur patterns worked like that.

GOSH I wish.

Can't say if the Rothgals would have localized thicczones of fur..,

from what I've seen from my rets, they have a overall short hair, with tufts at the joining of two large sections, or at the ends of limbs.[though I don't spend awhole lot staring at the fur placement, so I can't say that 100%.]

Though it is a interesting point..,
will they be short hair all over giving this odd vibe that the hair is just a layer. or short hair done in a way you can't tell/get that vibe.

or will it be the opposite of males, where the thiccer layers of fur will be in the interior, rather than the shoulders/limbs like I recall on males. [the fluff being largely on the chest, and waist.]

It is quite a large factor..,
Since it'll affect/effect/etc how they look visually.(if any remember, it's kinda what I meant about "Visually Slim, but hidden Bulk", as the placement could slim their form, or increase bulkiness that is/isn't seen unless wet.)

which also brings up tails, as we all know they can make variety[but probably pointless to bring up, since they'd mirror or take the same basic concept the males/other furred tailed races have.]

<Thicc extremities, thin interior. thin extremities, thicc interior. or as some said, localized fluffy hotspots.>

Can't imagine much usage of Fluffy Hotspots unless, with clear intention, meant to draw attention to certain areas of the body.

Though seeing as some have had ideas of different fur color pattern<which would be a nice race/tribe update in the future, since I can't say if I'd be on that to be in 7.0 as a remote idea they'd think of..,>

I feel a higher chance that the females may have a different balance of thicc/thin fur placement. and potentially even color zones.
