Patch 3.3 is going to see changes in the totem art so that each race will have a different one. MMO Champion has a video which I posted below which shows the totem art for Orcs, Trolls and Dwarves. Of course Dwarves aren’t allowed to be shamans until the Cataclysm expansion. I guess Taurens still get the art that they currently are using while Trolls and Orcs have their changed to fit their theme a bit more. We already know what the Draenei totems look like so no need to show that. The only one missing then is Goblin who can also play the shaman class in the expansion. But since they are also a new race, maybe they don’t want to give anything away about the goblin totem art just yet. Maybe it will have a mechanical or bomb-like theme to it? Hehe.

new bear art

Anyway, I finally decided to check out which form art I got for both Cat and Bear after seeing one of our guild leaders who plays a feral druid look different in his new bear form art. It really did seem strange to see him so different from what we’re used to. When I checked mine out, I was a bit disappointed to get one of the plainer looking and unexciting designs. That wasn’t the worst part. That huge stripe on my back looks really funny. It really did make the design stand out but in a strange way. In fact, just this morning one of my guild mates saw it and commented that I look like a bigger bear took a dump and wiped his butt on me.

Any of you thinking of or already changed their looks to change their cat and bear form art?

Tauren druid cat form

So anyway the Night Elf cat form art is finally out, completing the whole set of new druid form art coming out in patch 3.2. You can see it by following this link. You can view the other druid form art here. I have to say that it seems Blizzard did a better job in designing the new cat form art than the bear form art. The cat form designs seem to look more elegant and has more variety in color schemes, especially since the Night E;f bear form designs don’t seem to have as much variety as the Tauren ones. What would be my only complaint on this new night Elf cat form designs is that they all seem to have some kind of pink in all of the designs, some more than others. This would be nice for female Night Elf druids but would look pretty awkward for the males. This doesn’t bode well if you’re going for the manly look.

Tauren druid cat form

Though the new Tauren cat form art models aren’t as varied as I had hoped, they still look pretty cool. The fact that you can turn into a sort of white lion and even something that kinda looks like Scar from the Lion King movie. I’m guessing that, like the bear form art models, the cat form model will also be determined by the skin tone that the Tauren druid has. it’s for this reason that Taurens will be able to change their skin tone at the barber shop come patch 3.2.

As a Tauren druid myself, I’m quite anxious to see what my Night Elf druid brethren will get for their cat form art models. I wasn’t too pleased by the selection Blizzard gave them for the bear form art so I hope the cat form one will look better. I’m also still hoping that Moonkins and Trees of Life can get more models to choose from like bear and cat!

tauren bear form

Blizzard is releasing previews of these new art models little by little and started with the new Tauren bear form art. Their latest release is the new Night Elf bear form art which can be seen by following this link.

It looks like they made it a point to make the Tauren bears look different from the Night Elf bears in terms of color choices and not just that the Tauren bears had horns. But looking at the color choices, I’d be quite disappointed if I were a Night Elf druid since the Tauren ones seem to have more variety in the shades and they even have the cool while polar bear look. The Night Elf ones just look like different shades of brown.

Hopefully the cat form art will look cooler for both races!

tauren bear form

You can look at the preview of the new art forms in that link above, although right now they only have the Tauren bear form art out. Looking at the new art, I’m actually quite surprised that Blizzard is offering several textures to choose from and they all look pretty cool. I’m liking the white polar bear type look, which is fitting with the frozen wastelands look of Northrend. I’m assuming that this should also be the case for cat form art.

The announcement says that druids will be able to switch their bear and cat form art using the barber shop in the major cities. I’m hoping that someday, the tree of life and moonkin forms could also get new art!
