I just think it's a little awkward because she has her war mask on without any type of weapon. I think the right weapon could pull the whole thing together from a cosmetic standpoint that is.
People worried about the "business" or how its too much are forgetting about dyes, and I'm betting you you can change the color of the tongue on his mask or the red on the rest of the armor to whatever you thought looked good.
That being said, looking at the model compared to the texture, I think this looks very tribal and very fitting of the witch doctors theme. I love it especially since this much detail is put 5/18ths or so into the game.

I think people are being too harsh about this. Like many have said, it's merely tier 5/18. You will be wearing this tier for like 2-4 hours (guesstimation) of game play and then you'll be finding slightly better (and better looking) gear that's in tier 6/18. All in all, for 5/18, it looks excellent. Lower tiers aren't supposed to look awesome because that would desensitize us, causing a lesser appreciation of great looking gear that's around tiers 14-18. Blizzard gets a pat on the back from me for all of the great sets to date!

I make sure people go to jail. The only thing more fun is Diablo 3.
Personally i think its awesome. I think the problem most people are having is that the WD just doesnt fit that whole dark gothic theme Diablo 2 had. Most people woulda prefered a necromancer with lotsa skulls adorning his armour etc (its just more diablo'ish). Out of all the characters i think the WD is the most creative so far even the WD's skills sound the most fun imo. Love the crazy masks BOOGA WOOGA
What is wrong with it? Reminds me of Aztec designs and fits the character. Some of you guys need to get some bloody perspective as well - all of these designs have easily been better than Diablo 2.
Something we also have to keep in mind is that we'll probably never be wearing this complete set at the same time. We'll have an armor of this tier, a mask of another tier etc. That's also something the design team had to put a lot of effort in. Plus, I guess the mask is very much "out there" because it has to stand out. I guess they designed 18 different armor sets this time, which all have a distinct look (not like in D2 where each tier was recycled twice). If you don't like it, that's a valid opinion, but at least this puts things in perspective. I'm sure that if the haters actually found the mask in game as a surprise and put it as a replacement for their crappy tier 3 helmet, they'd be like "omg this is awesome".
I don't know if someone has mentioned it already or not, but remember that we will be able to get variously coloured forms of this armour - for those who don't like the colours.
I reckon the black version would look pretty good.
Looks awesome... only thing I think could improve on is adding female detail to the mask. As was said the bra is the only thing that shows her as female in this diagram. Maybe in action it will be obvious as I imagine the females move differently to the males.
That being said, looking at the model compared to the texture, I think this looks very tribal and very fitting of the witch doctors theme. I love it especially since this much detail is put 5/18ths or so into the game.
