Shiva model!

Nophica's left nipple, people, he even -says- that it's normal map sculpt data. What in the hells is wrong with people's reading comprehension? This is why there's a drought of new information and-slash-or why we can't have nice things. He even -provided a shot of concept art we'd never seen before- as a "this is what this'll look like when it's done", for Althyk's sake.

Really, guys? Really?

Lol chill out.

I know what ZBrush is but I have next to zero experience with it. He could have said it was Mudbox, Maya, or any other software and people still wouldn't understand. It has nothing to do with reading comprehension and more to do with people not knowing about modeling pipelines. Thankfully we have a few fellow posters who do.

She looks like a Guado from FF10.
Also, she looks like an Wildwood Elezen turned Goddess.

Echoing what others have said.

Please get rid of the skin toned shiva. Her skin should be white or blue. The concept art has it right. I would not know that was a CG render of shiva unless someone told me it was.

Maybe their plan is to make her some sort of Demigod or something.
Or an Elezen turned Primal.

She looks DELICIOUSLY good !!!

She's an Elezen!

I'm overall happy with the way they made her look, although the concept art looks more icey than the render.

EDIT: On closer examination, she looks like an old witch, in a way >.> human skin tone, grey hair. . . . And, again, the concept art is better D: Ice maiden VS Elezen hag >.< Oh well, at least she doesn't have those awful braids from FFX

Shiva was always an "Elezen" ? ;P

i think the color is not final.. look at the colors, do you really thing this looks like ingame graphics? many other "layers" are missing to create the final color and shading of the 3d model.

What you mean always? o_O Not always :3 but the ARR one sure does look like an Elezen, who doesn't have superdeformed limbs or a giraffe neck ^ ^;

The FF8 one was perfect :3 Minimalistic, ethereal and sexy enough without being vulgar ~<3

Not sure how the whole process is, but Ferne sure raised some questions by posting these if they're half-way done o_o I don't think the majority of the playerbase is aware of different stages and whatnots in 3D graphics >.<

skin color looks too human/normal for my taste.
still a good work tho.
somethin different.

let's wait for the final version.
i hope it will rely more to the original artwork as shown in the blog.

but don't get me wrong - Thanks for showing new material!
