Looks like a mix of Skinks and D&D 4th ed draconians or what they call them now. Not bad I guess but I hope they settle for the more muscular versions if this is to be a large race.

They don't necessarily need to be burly to be a large race. We're lacking humans side-by-side though so it's tough to imagine without a sense of scale. I definitely don't wanna see that hunchback option as default come launch day.

I really like the variety and my favorites are the last one in every row of the first group. Would be nice to see multiple options like the Warhammer lizardmen have. This includes multiple color options.

Considering how many animals are digitigrade, including many walking modern-day dinosaurs (birds), I'm fine with it.

The body type for row 2, column 3 is my personal preference, maybe give it a touch more bulk if they want it to be a 'large race,' but I like the more average physique and the longer tail.

Row 2, column 1 or row 3, column 5 IMO.

Like almost all the heads except for the ones where the horns are too numerous/large/silly... and the raptor feet are dumb.

I like the first two in the top row, Iksar don't all have to be fat. It was a tall slim model prior to luclin making them much beefier. All of them are decent at least. Pumped to see the final result, iksar was one of the few beast races I didn't find cheesy.

Interesting to see what they look like in game, because so far that's a lot better then Chester Cheetah meets the Lion King.

It still baffles me that the response to years of complaints about cartoony wow characters from eq vets is to double down on the cartoony.

Because years of subbing to WoW turned them into spineless SimCity preordering and pay to beta test ftp cash grabs and weak sobbing suit's lap dog gamers who love to double down on cartoony and suggest giving super mario a lazer shotgun to get rid of the evil toads

I'm sure it looked good on the sketches. Half of Lion-O's fail was the WoW paladin armor. Would actually be interesting to see the concept artworks for him.

EQ vet opinions dont mean shit when you're making a game for mass appeal - you of all should know that.

The art dev chick did post on Reddit yesterday to reiterate that kerrans were being redesigned. And really, the changes necessary to make them acceptable aren't all that extensive: shorten the snout, make the hair look more like an actual mane, give them a bit of a fur texture, and shrink the damn pauldrons, and the kerran would look fine, I think.

I have loved every piece of character art they have released, except for Aladin the Avatar Dark Elf...

But it should be noted that I liked WoW's art style and environments quite a bit.

Cartoony is fine. Better than going realistic and having it look like shit. The art style they went with seems great to me. Cartoony but distinct from wow, consistent across all the stuff we have seen so far, no Roger rabbit shit, and the races so far seem very distinct. I hated eq2 and vanguard for making races 50 shades of human. I like that in eq1 and wow when you saw even a blurred silhouette of a race you knew instantly what it was.

Exactly. EQ2 looked like shit. I am glad they are redesigning the cats and with the art options they have shown for Iksar, I have faith the options will look pretty nice.

The sort of EQ vets who typically whinge about cartoony artwork are too busy pissing money away on Brad's latest folly to be paying attention to EQN right now.
