wolf model pls by darkxtealth-d9a2xt1

When comparing the splash art from the in game model, Wolf's mask doesn't have those two ears, and his teeth are real, rather than having purple-ish teeth (like the color of his skin) with a light blue mouth.

Honestly, I think we deserve a very cool spirit wolf rather than a literal wolf head. Where is the blue shining light, the ghastly teeth? :(

He's also 4 shades lighter because they never match the splash to the model.

I've come to the conclusion whoever worked on Kindred was high as a kite.

Well to be fair, he's in the shadow in the splash art so it makes sense

yea cuz Carebear Annie (Sweetheart) has no eye make-up in the splash but once you get in game her eyes look like they belong on gothic annie -.- its minor but it pisses me off

The animators didn't make the skin. They only used the skin provided to them to construct a model and animate it.

Okay, yeah, this is bothering me way more than the stuff with Lamb's legs.

Uh guys i just noticed something else wrong with wolf, in his VO he says "My claws never dull".....just thought I'd share that.

Maybe change the teeth to a light blue color like the glow of the mouth in the splash? They don't bother me that much as they are, but it would be nice to fix it a little bit. I do think the mask needs to be fixed. It just looks wrong without the ears.

yep, their masks are like, their trademarks as Kindred

I wanted to retract my earlier comment and just restate that if anything can we just have the ears. If we were gonna push it even further, I'd say fix the teeth too. Though (I suppose) I could live with that. I will agree with someone who mentioned earlier that his teeth should be ghastly though... I want feedback from a red to just let us know if there are changes coming or not. They will be released next week and still no fix on the model. :/ I'm a concerned kindred fan.

Splash Arts and Models have always been inconsistent. I'm not sure why this is surprising.

AHHHAHAHAHAHA I never noticed. This is a huge issue. I'll never unsee... Rito pls fix.

Just remember. They've been working reawwy reawwy hard, and somehow missed a plethora of bullshit, but it's k cuz dey wurked hard! <:B

please masked shaco also does not resemble his art with colors/clothing and yet after 3 support tickets it still hasn't been fixed so I don't see this getting fixed either

The mask irks me more than the teeth, but I think the teeth are for clarity when viewing wolf from the perspective of in game. The mask though, I would like the mask to have ears. It's cute.

Xtealth211 votes

Well, if it's for clarity, they can always make his mouth light blue, just like in the splash art.

This bothers me too much. More than the animations on Lamb. TO THE TOP.

Pool Party Renekton has some issues to. It shows he only has three toes when he's sitting in his chair, but then in game he has those four goofy looking toes with exaggerated claws.

I have always felt that Wolf looks too cartoony. When he opens his mouth he looks like Goofy

Big Lincoln1 votes

Damn, this is really gonna bother me

That, and the fact that Wolf is so small to begin with.

Punkkee1 votes

i think his ears are actually sticking upward ingame. or is that hair wat

Diananmen Square1 votes

So you're showing me that for all this time I thought wolf's nose on the splash was his mouth?

yay nibbers1 votes

Don't know how I missed this, really lame when stuff like this happens. That said, I love how goofy he looks in-game

TBakes1 votes

I think it would look way cooler with the splash design reflected in the model. +1

SpecterVonBaren1 votes

I believe the reason for the ears is that they weren't originally part of the design. If we look at their preview video, the lamb mask didn't have ears then either, I think they probably added them to their artwork after that video due to all the comments about how people wouldn't have known the mask was supposed to represent a lamb if the video hadn't said it outright.

They have to fix this.

Don't forget that his mask is a different color and has a totally different marking on it.

You're right, his in-game character looks a lot less menacing.

I actually really love wolfs in-game model and movement. But I concur his teeth might look a bit better as perhaps a spectral blue? Also I ABSOLUTELY LOVE when wolfs proc kills someone who has reached out of distance. The WTF just killed me factor is sooo funny in all chat. Especially since he just zooms over and eats them suddenly.

Kai Guy1 votes

I can live with the teeth but would love the addition of the ears, really makes the mask more lamb like, cover the splash's mask ears up and its hard to tell what the mask is, as far in game mask goes, kinda reminds me of a rabbit.

Kaamos1 votes

It's pretty disappointing because the splash art is god-tier and the model looks like it belongs in the wolf camp. item 3070

RITO PLS FIX THIS, THIS WILL BOTHER ME WHENEVER I PLAY KINDRED. AND PLS DO SOMETHING ABOUT LAMB'S ANATOMY PROBLEMS AND COLORS. KINDRED IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE CHAMPIONS.
