Let’s take a closer look at Sylvanas Windrunner, Queen of the Forsaken, as revealed in official Heroes of the Storm art. First though, to address one issue: 

mitulita​​ replied to your photo: “For the people who rushed to tell us we should never doubt Blizzard’s…”:

The Sylvanas design is not new, though. It has been exactly like this in World of Warcraft for years. They are just repeating an old mistake there…

Which still totally proves our point that Blizzard is NOT trying to improve. They had a perfect opportunity to update the design and did basically nothing.

While her official model for some reason wears a thong over nice pants, lots of popular Sylvanas fanart depicts her as pantless and Blizzard seem to be pretty okay with that.

I don’t generally have this problem, even with chibi or super-stylized art, but I’m having a real problem reading her as humanoid.

Are we entirely sure she was SUPPOSED to look human? Neither human anatomy nor earthly physics seem to apply to her body or her, ahem, clothes…

This is definitely one of those “WHY?!” character designs I mentioned lately.
