Still, I perfetly understand the double point of Kiarorin.





First, the armor. This picture is amazing and the impression of deadly menace perfectly present. This isn't, my opinion, subject to the discussion. But this kind of over (really, over) sexualized "armor" is kind of ridiculous. If you put in in a Conan style of world, or the Mars of John Carter, it is understandable (the heat, the sun and the imagery of only the body, belonging to the more or less realistic antiquity).

I know that especially Korean fantasy tends to brings a maximum of nudity, but in Warcraft... She is an elve from the forest, a ranger, and a warrior. And no one who has tried to walk into a forest of took just one lesson of fencing agrees to the complete nudity, which is the case here.





More, Sylvanas is presented as a banshee, so... a ghost (Warcraft 3).





So, second, the ghost is much more the manifestation of love (with all the eternal regrets), than desire. As for the "hot and dark girl", WOW is filled with such characters, so why Sylvanas ?





Can't blame Kiaorin to bring his/her doubts on the matter, really !





And anyway, the artist did'nt tried to differ from the model in the last cinematic. And did it incredibly well...



Here, she is -since a while- a corpse wearing an "armor". So, the "vampire transformation" isn't really present normally. And basically, her armor should be a ghostly one, a representation of the one she wore at her death. Her, she is a goddess of death incarnated in a bikini. So quite twisted from the origin of the charcter....
