I know that many people seriously won't like this.
But there is this big chance I am gonna do this...



So, my plan.
The regular Dirkels (see picture above) were simple blobs, and had lots of restrictions. Restrictions as that they didn't have any legs, and that the arms were seperated from the body, next to that, the head was actually a 'part of the body'. With these restrictions it was very hard to design different (and cooler) armour types, and extremely hard to imagine and design cool monsters.
Most monsters were just different colours, or different textures of an existing model.
When I make the Dirkels look like humans, this is solved, since then I can just make dragons with legs and arms, I can make extremely cool and scary looking swamp monsters, and even the skeletons would look way cooler.
Next to that, the armours would be better visible, and your character can look way more bad-ass.



Another problem with the original Dirkel design was the animations, they barely had any. Why? Because they didn't have arms nor legs. With the 'human' idea, they will have jumping, running, breathing and more improved fighting animations. (maybe even crawling and climbing)



Try to visualize the opportunities we have with the new designs.
And please tell me what you think.
