wow Allied Races Customization Options Concept by Silverleaf2520

[Stan 5,020]

Although Allied Races are last when it comes to new customization options that will be introduced in Shadowlands, silverleaf2520 came up with an interesting concept of skin and eye colors for Void Elves, Lightforged Draenei, Nightborne, and Highmountain Tauren.

The N'Zoth and Night Warrior-themed eyes for Void Elves look cool, what do you think?

Maybe they can add this in a patch. It shouldn't be too difficult, right? They can for example add some Mag'har tattoos to basic orc and thew basic orc tattoo to the Mag'har. Is that possible, since it's basically the same model?

Not in that specific case. The Mag'har's tattoos (plus piercings, rocky bits, etc) are baked into their skin texture. You'd have to remake the tattoos entirely to slide them onto basic orcs, and while you could lay the new orc tattoos on top of the Mag'har textures you'd then have two sets of tattoos sitting on each other. 

Hair, on the other hand, can be transplanted pretty easily. Amateur modellers do it all the time. And they desperately need more hair options. Did you know Mag'har females can't be bald? It's a travesty. 

(And that's not even transplanting, that's just disabling hair options.)

I doubt allied races are going to get things like new skin colours, and to be honest I doubt even things like hair will be dramatically expanded -- it seems to me like having a more limited set of options is part of the deal, just like reused animations are. But they're suddenly going to be left behind the original races if they can't do things like adjust eye colour, so I definitely hope they do what they can. In 9.1, if not 9.0.

These are some really cool ideas, though. I particularly like the brownish Lightforged and the dark Nightborne. And the N'zoth eyes and the changing-to-void skin for void elves are really fun ideas.
