In an old cosmetic, we saw them looking more hobbit like. Slim and agile little humans with large feet to help them run a long time as they hunt. They looked more like miniature people which gave them a much more unique look. I think it's good to offer a muscle slider and weight options, but I think they would look much better if the base characters looked closer to this :



The latest model we saw were the usual bulky dwarves with a different skin color. Even if the two descend from the same race, you could see a drastic differentiation between dwarves shaped to fit in small places and carry rocks around vs fast little hunters in the tropical forests which muscles are specialized for endurance. This doesn't look like something that can run fast in the forest :



To me everything with the Nikua feels like they should be more like agile and slim dwarves rather than bulky dwarves. It could just be the lower limit but I feel if they get bulkier it would be because of more fat not muscles.

Interesting read!

We received a lot of good feedback after we showed you the 3D models for the Niküa. I, unfortunately, can't confirm at the moment, but you may see some new Niküa-related art soon :wink:

I look forward to seeing what y'all continue to discuss in this thread ^_^
