New art for two druid forms, cat and bear, are coming in the next major content patch. As this has been a much-anticipated update for druids, we'd like to give you a first look at the fresh designs. We'll be offering up the new art for night elf and tauren druid forms in four installments. To kick things off today, let's start with a preview of the new textures available for tauren bear form. Take a glimpse at the new feature and art: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/druid-forms.html

On the Under Devlopment page
In our next major content patch, druids will find a host of new textures for two major forms, cat and bear. There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time by visiting the barber shop and changing their character's hair color, while tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop -- a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch. Given that there are more hair colors and skin tones than unique form looks, some colors and tones will overlap with these new textures. The hair and skin colors chosen will, in most cases, correspond with the color seen in the look of each form. Some similar colors that may share a particular cat texture will not necessarily share the same bear texture.

We'd like to share with you this new art for each form and faction in four installments. So without further ado, our first preview is for the five new textures of the tauren druid bear form. We'll also show the current form design so you can easily see the extra detail and textures of the new art. Work continues on new looks for the remaining druid forms and we hope to add them in future content patches.

Been waiting for this for a long time! woot for us druids cant wait! Very sad to hear there is no art for trees...


UPDATE 3:56 PM:

Q u o t e:
Hopefully we can change it up between the different skins too, and aren't locked into chosing one and staying with it. Sure, the models aren't radically different, which I never really expected, but they do look very good overall.

I also couldn't help but notice that it continues the trend of bears in WoW having problems closing their mouths. ;)


You'll be able to visit the barber to change your hair color (skin tone for Tauren) and that will change the look of your bear and cat form based on the color choice. You'll be able to change as often as you like as long as you pay the barber's fee.

Also, in the screenshots the bears are roaring, but when just sitting normally, their mouths will close in a toothy grin so to speak.
