While it has already been clarified, I believe the character depicted in the artwork is described as female. Either way though I was referencing the horns rather than the face haha-- and the horns could probably work for either model (though I'd love them as an option for female Charr especially).

Both the face and the horns is amazing in this picture. I'd buy it right away if it existed, regarddless of gender!

I wish he could draw more designs based on my descriptions on the first post in this thread.

B-but i think that female charrs look very cool when they are a bit 'cute and cuddly.' My main looked previously too much like Grumpy cat, who is just about to commit a suicide. I couldn't stand that look, so i tried to make her look as 'cute and cuddly' as possible:

She's probably shame for her legions, but i don't care :3

If rather than making unique faces for each gender of the Charr, they made one face, with a female (more sleek) variant, and a male (more gallant) variant, that would give Charr players so many more options with their character's design. Then both Male and Female Charr could be either brutish, cute, elegant, dashing/beautiful, or serious looking.

 

Rather than them looking like different species you would then tell their gender by subtle differences like the tail, eye shape, size of snout at tip, and ear positions.

I do strongly doubt this ever happening though, what with a lot of GW2's artists lacking the ability to value and utilise subtlety effectively.

Hogwash! Everyone knows GW is about the HUMAN race. It started with Humans and will forever be about Humans. I will never forget or forgive what the Charr did during the Searing and how much trouble they have caused for Gwen.

 

Clipping issues? Hah! That's because they are too big and awkward shaped. Have you seen a Charr on a mount? Just looks too hilarious. They should be sitting in a house somewhere licking their fur. Not taking up development time that could be better spent on Human content like going to Cantha. They can wait forever for new aesthetic designs for all I care!

To be fair, if I saw a rifle that big in person and had to use it as my weapon where I go... I would wonder, "Okay so... how should I carry this thing? It's a bit big... and... how do I deal with the recoil on this?!"

Humans hold the rifle just fine.

 

It's by no means the longest rifle in the game. Have you seen the Charrzooka? that thing is an eye-sore-and-a-half.

The Perfected Rifle on a Charr is comparable to the length of an anti-material sniper rifle on a human irl:

Obviously in irl, shooters don't normally fire AMRs standing up. You always lay prone or find cover to rest the bipod on, but that doesn't stop every video game ever from allowing players to fire them standing and running anyways. Although I would love it if they made it so you could go prone with rifles in this game(like how deadeye can kneel), and that gave a massive damage buff, I doubt ANet would ever rework all 3 classes to use rifle this way.

 

Not to mention the way the Charr pictured is holding that rifle makes it *harder* to hold it. If he held it at its centre of gravity it would make more sense, but instead he's holding it by the rifle grip, which means all the weight of the receiver and barrel is on one side.

Look at the quality of those Bunny horns! If our mounts can have beautiful horns, why can we not???

And the fur of those mounts! They are amazing! Look at the dye-ability!!! The customization of our own Charr character all of a sudden feel even more poor.

I know u cant mix and match the look of the face/wings/tails etc in the mounts but still......

Now i feel even more than before that our OWN characters need a character creation overhaul! Or our mounts will soon be what IS our character.

That is 100% not true, given that they already pick one gender for 90% of charr outfits, and considering that this was a thread asking for more head, fur and horn options that dont affect outfits whatsover. On top of that, leaving one of the most distinct races the game has to suffer because it may or may not be hard to create things for them is not a good idea.
