Lookin' good there, Shiva! Can't wait to see you rendered in-game!

I like the different colored streaks in her hair. Kind of odd to see her without blue skin though.

UPDATE:

Thal's Balls! These forums are hot enough to melt an ice goddess.

I suppose some of that might be due to slight lack of info in my latest Developers' Blog post. (Looks around... Crickets chirp...) Okay, I suppose most of that might be due to a slight lack of info in my latest Developers' Blog post.

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.

Shame it takes the person who posted the info to confirm what should be common knowledge. Oh well...

UPDATE NUMBAH 2:

The blog post has been update to let those who haven't seen it yet that the images shown are a WORK IN PROGRESS. You'd think this would be known, as the game isn't out yet...so everything about it is a work in progress, but oh well, thanks for further clarification Fernehalwes. Keep up the great work anyway! <3

Shiva is awesome I remember accidentally fighting the Lv65 form of her instead of trading the tuning fork to her proto-crystal. She bitch-slapped me in a 1-hit KO back in FFXI.

damn... lookiing very very nice

Ah, but will facing north-by-northeast at 2:45 a.m. while the moon is a waning crescent result in a 27% increase in your chances to synthesize HQ mythril ingots!? That is real the question!

There we go. Undeniable proof that this can be none other than.........SIREN!

I mean, Shiva!

Apparently, Ferne has been promoted as FFXIV's official troll lol

As always, I hope Shiva and Garuda never fight, because one gust of wind from Garuda, and Shiva's "nether regions" will be exposed.

That's the way it's always been with Shiva though.. I would expect nothing less.

Lol... nsfw.

Going by anime logic, it's probably glued on as a second skin...

Shiva looks great! Can't wait!...well actually I can because I have too...

[Andreas-Lycaeus]

Curiously though, she does seem to have pale blue skin both here:

and here:


Judging by all the other Primals, I don't think they'd make her look too different from the actual artwork. I don't mind the pale skin if it's not blue, but I do wonder why they would show it pink and not grey.

Also, I can't wait to see how her hair is textured to look like ice!
