EverQuest Next Iksar Concepts Posted!
11 years ago
With their new EverQuest Next Round Table response video, SOE showed concept art for how the Iksar race may look. The different body concepts are really varied, since they haven't decided entirely how they want the race to look in the end, though they did state they were open to feedback (which can be left here: https://forums.station.sony.com/eve.....nkful-for.201/).
First off are the body concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/921.jpg). Personally, I like the bottom left one the best. It's not as super thin as some of the other bodies while at the same time not as bulky as others. Plus I just love that tail design. I suppose I also like that one because to me it looks closest to the EQ2 design, but with digitigrade legs, which I always felt was the one thing lacking from the EQ2 Iksar character model. The one thing I'd want changed most would be the arm length. They just look way too long to me.
Next, we have head concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/922.jpg). I really don't have any problem with any of these heads and like all of them a lot, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the top center one.
Finally, we have armor concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/923.jpg). Again, I really like all the armors shown. I really like that they aren't fully covering and I love the horn adornments. I'd like to see maybe some tail adornments too, but otherwise I'd be happy to wear any of these armors on EQ Next Brekkik.
Which reminds me, it's great to see the concepts, but at this point, SOE has pretty much done everything BUT announce them as a playable race. I mean, for us SOE faithful, it's a given. But I'd still feel much better with an official announcement on the matter.

They look awfully more beastial this time, but that may work to their advantage as they do have a rather impressive appearance. May even sway some folks about not having the Sarnak in EQN too.

OP
Yeah it looks like they definitely tried to give them some dragon-like features. Almost like a cross of an Iksar and Sarnak. But with Sarnak already being half iksar, I guess that makes these 3/4 iksar, 1/4 dragon.
