mr. yiffy, a new worgen

While messing around with my Night Elf edit, I realized it would probably be a better idea for me to re-rip all of the models again from WMV, this time with SL geosets, rather than trying to integrate those geosets into my existing models like a bad Frankenstein parody. I already had lots of issues with trying to get those new beards working with my face morphs, and I can already foresee it being a disaster with other races like Orcs as well.

So with all of that in mind, I realized I should actually finish ripping all of the races I had intended to do originally first before embarking on any new journey. And a few hours later, Mr. Yiffy was born, and hopefully he will usher in a new era of quality Worgen content.

On the left is Mr. Yiffy, and on the right is the in-game model, verbatim.

This was actually a very straightforward model to edit. Not a lot of surprises, at least not to me. Not an overwhelming amount of geosets either, which is to be expected I suppose. After all, Goblins/Worgens didn't get much more of those with the SL update.

As usual with all of my edits, there are quite a number of morphs. All are reversible and adjustable, of course. In general, Mr. Yiffy is a much buffer yiffy than the in-game yiffs. I have not given him a fat morph yet; I suspect that will be a rather popular option for some people seeking a commission, and I will cross that bridge once I get there.

His textures are heavily customized. The first thing you'll probably notice right away (or not because it's actually fairly subtle) is that he has nipples. You may recall the old Worgen model did have nipples but they lost them for whatever reason with their update in BFA. That was a tragic moment. But with me at least, they're back. It was a fairly straightforward process actually, unlike what I did with my special Tauren nipples. I just basically applied Human nipples onto the Worgen texture. Simple, and fitting enough.

His skin tone is also very custom. You can't get this shade in-game. Or that face for that matter. I don't have much else to say there besides that I like what I was able to achieve.

And now for the one thing he doesn't have. Allow me to remind you of my policy of only using humanoid dicks on my furry characters. It's non-negotiable. So for anybody that expects to see a red rocket with this yiffy or any other yiffy, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere. 

Oh and Mr. Yiffy is just a placeholder name. I actually don't have a proper name for him yet or story. Or human form for that matter. I thought about retroactively turning Douglas Frost into a Worgen (and have this be his Worgen form), but then I would've had to tweak these textures even more and I didn't want him to be that much of a special snowflake, especially since this is my first new Worgen OC in several years.

There's one last thing I would like to make a point of before I leave you with him. He's perfectly upright in these comparison shots, but in an actual scene, I will probably have him a bit more hunched, closer to his in-game silhouette. Two big reasons why:

1. Perfectly upright Worgen look a bit off because they're naturally very top-heavy. It's crystal clear that these models were designed with the hunch in mind, much like regular Trolls.

2. Amateur SFM artists tend to pose Worgen perfectly upright (and with the same geosets over and over again). I would like to go a little beyond amateur-level posing.
