[Earth Eternal] Iron Realms has released the concept art for most of the races. I am at a loss for words beyond the title, but I think the drawings speak for themselves. Something about… the torsos… I feel kind of dirty. Like, if it had actually been furry porn, that would be one thing, but… I think it’s the body proportions, which make them look like furry midgets.
: Zubon
The bodily proportion issues with the concept art are what Zubon was talking about, not the furriness of them. I haven’t seen anybody here say a word against furries, but it’s not necessary to have a problem with furries to have a problem with that concept art.
So … furry midgets make Zubon feel dirty. Interesting. ;)
The actual models look better in-game (there are screenshots floating around). I suspect the concept art looks kind of odd too because they don’t have any armor or weapons on them. If the concept art for WoW had demoed Taurens sans the armor, you’d probably be similarly disturbed.
When wearing chain mail and decked out in 5-6 weapons (as the guys making it claim you’ll be able to do– screenshots in the forums of that look awesome) , the PC models look no more furry than any other fantasy game where they stick an animal head on a human body.

Yeah, that’s pretty furry. Worse, not particularly [i]good[/i] furry artwork, particularly given how many good, [b]clean[/b] kemono artists there are out there.
I don’t really mind a game with the option of playing a cat-headed character, and I don’t think most gamers would care either. It’s true there’s a lot of SAN damage possible from furries (just as most other sexual atypicality), but an active game master team should be able to at least keep the mental anguish consensual.
On the other hand, the lacking graphics and potentially iffy gameplay will scare a lot of players away preemptively.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chicken with breasts like that!
Why did they feel we needed a second image of the male bunny, to show his butt? The female raccoon doesn’t need that.
Bizarre. I feel somewhat creeped out now.
Oz: … *somewhat*!?
LOL
God damn furries
