My Unexciting and Strange Looking Bear Art

So it’s been about a week since patch 3.2 came out. For Druids, this means that they new art for their Bear and Cat forms already came out. Being a Resto druid who goes Moonkin for questing, I never really was that excited about the new form art. I mean it was something I could see but not something I would see often enough. The only time I really get into my feral forms is if I’m bored and I wanna dance in a new form.

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?

New Night Elf cat form art released

So I was wrong about my prediction that the new Night Elf cat form art models would come immediately after the Tauren ones were released a few days ago. I based my prediction on the fact that the Night Elf bear form art came right after the Tauren one so I assumed that things would be the same. I read somewhere that the Night Elf bear form art was actually released too soon so the timing of the cat form releases would probably have been the way it should have been.

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.

New Tauren cat form art models out!

Last week Blizzard unveiled the new art for both the Tauren and Night Elf bear form art models that’s coming out in patch 3.2. Now it’s the turn for us to see the new art coming in the same patch for cat form. For now we have the new Tauren cat form art which you can see here. and if last week was any indication, we should be seeing the Night Elf version very soon, probably even later.

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!
