Pandaren Picts

Remember this picture of a Pandaren?



It turns out the artist has finally stepped forward. Some folks had suggested it was photoshopped. Not at all. Ian McConville has stepped forward and admitted that he was the original author. Ian does a hystical web strip called Mac Hall (http://www.machall.com/) and posted the actual model frame. Brilliant work on his part.

Here's the wireframe and an example of the Pandaren with a different weapon/skin:

It still _looks_ photoshopped, regardless of whether it was or not. He did a really poor job getting the head onto the neck in that image, and the scaling is odd.

Scaling is odd? I think if scaling was actually really good, then we would know for sure that it was a fake! Just look at some of the models in game (Night Elves Hands, Undead Male Shoulders, etc). If it looks photoshopped, then it's for different reasons - having some problems will only make it look closer to Blizzard's current models =).
