The barbarian class page has been updated with a new piece of concept art depicting the female barbarian as well as a close-up view of her in-game model. Check out this new look at a relentless terror of the battlefield over at the barbarian class page.
Blizzard updated their site today with a new concept picture of the female Barbarian and a 3-D game model on the page. Like the female Monk, the ability to switch between the male and female version has been added to the Barbarian's character page. While the female version has been shown before, there has not been anything to this extent and detail. The female Barbarian had fiery red hair and muscles to match the male version. While not as veteran as the male version, the female Barbarian still looks like she can hold her own in a fight against the demons of Hell.
Hopefully the female version of the Witch Doctor and the male version of the Wizard will be updated soon.

As stated from blizzard many times , the characters are not meant to be seen from that close up angle. It still looks great from a in game angle.
I'm sure of it, and make no mistake, I'm as much of a D3 fan as anyone else on here.
The fact is, though, that even with games that were already released in 2009, the in-game close-up renders for those games are absolutely visually stunning, as opposed to the in-game renders of D3 that were shown so far.
Clothes/armor have contours, and it should be that way. Having one layer of texture represent a detailed piece of texture-filled article is just plain out unattractive. I'm sure it doesn't take too much extra processing power to make those fine adjustments, but it makes all the difference.
Compare the in-game render vs the concept art piece of the female barbarian, and you will see what I'm getting at.
She's broad shouldered, thick waisted, well muscled - she looks like she could actually use those weapons, too. In short, she looks like she's a real character, not just eye candy for the presumed all-male audience.
Speaking as a woman gamer, I like. Very much. Makes me feel like Blizzard actually believes I exist :thumbsup:
The graphic are actually the last thing they polish. It's like everything - monsters, equipaments, characters - are place holders.
Look at the early Star Craft 2 screen shots and battle reports. Now look how the game looks now. Alot better.
Otherwise, don't expect a super next gen. graphic from blizz. Every year computer becomes more expensive compered to consoles. Cheap and low tier PCs are more and more popular, thats why they must make a game were most people can run. It's the price of the computer platform.
DAWMN!! SHES HAWT!!! ROFL :D. But in all seriousness she looks prerty beast! She might be my second character!

This title made me laugh for a bit. Good concept drawing. I like how they've given a variety of characters (male/female) to play. Puts a nice twist on it.

her breasts look much better in the concept art, and so does her shoulder armour. In the in game model they look kinda droopy and not showing enough cleavage, and again the gaudy looking massive shoulder armour *shakes head*

I appreciate the effort, but the character details (polygon-ish shoulder pads/single-layer clothing designs) look cheap and of low-production value.

I agree but then again, its not supposed to be seen at that close up of an angle.
Yes it does. D3 is awsome.
They may change the character design on the website when the game is finished. Many design elements ingame may change until release of D3.

The looks can still change. They may decide to tweak it later on. They may still want to limit some of the processes for the time being.
Besides we are likely not going to see them up close since most of the time well will be zoomed out in the regular game view.
I just hope the character selection screen doesn't show such low-res textured characters. D=
I think those were mentioned about a week or 2 ago.
