Description Here it is the evolution of the model of Tyrande Whisperwind from WarCraft 3 Reign of Chaos (2002) to Heroes of the Storm (2015).
I tryed to add descriptions on the image itself with the evolution of Raynor and Tychus but it didn't worked too well, so i will go back to the quick descriptions as on the Nova Evo picture.
A) The first apparition of Tyrande on WC3 RoC (2002), here she rides her tiger Ash'alah.
B) All WarCraft 3 RoC/TfT graphic/audio assets were ported on SC2 HotS on early 2015, most of them got only a little improvement on specular maps and stability, but some dozens of them got also an HD remaster, like Tyrande, the HD models feels rushed mostly because this porting was done for free and with very few time to finish it, a very great present for the Modding community of SC2.
C) Tyrande from WoW (2004), you can see how she is more ceremonial now and way less militar styled (all plates of armor are gone here)... Turned out this outfit was a placeholder since there were no art reference available yet
D) Tyrande after patch 4.3 (Hour of Twilight - 2011) of WoW Cataclysm, more details, better textures and more polygons, still ceremonial but with more class.
E) Tyrande from Heores of the Storm pre-Alpha (2013/2014), her style is a hybrid between the WC3 and the WoW one, the armor is back and the white ceremonial theme is still here.
F) Tyrande model from Heroes closed Alpha (Early to late 2014), improved textures and breasts more covered.
G) Tyrande facial upgrade, way better face and hair, little polishing of textures and improved lunar disc.
H - I) New and old Tyrande non-highborne elf, she is a night elf likes all the others 
J - K) New and old Tyrande forsaken (undead) model, she is on the same state of Sylvanas Widnrunner on this tint.
L) Tyrande Master Skin
M) Tyrande forsaken Master Skin (maybe with emerald nightmare influences)
N - O) Tyrande new and old Blood Elf Skin aka Tyrande Windrunner the Ranger General of Quel'Thas
P - Q) Tyrande new and old High Elf skin.
R) Tyrande Warden Skin, on this skin the roles of Maiev/Illidan and Tyrande/Malfurion are switched.
S) Tyrande Blood Elf Warden skin
T) Concept art for Wrden Tyrande

PS. I created a folder about the "Evolution of" serie defilerrulez91.deviantart.com/…

M is more likely an Emerald Nightmare-inspired look

Also on C) the first WoW model: This is just a night elf character model generated  and dressed to make Tyrande as a placeholder character, no unique art existed before so the dress was a weird non-canonical thing that became authentic. When Wei Wang made the 10th anniversary piece: cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/i… he made her white dress more unique and established the new Tyrande look. When we made her model in HotS, the goal was to blend her War3 armored Sentinel look back into the WoW dress version, making a hybrid look to bridge the gap!

Honestly nothing, i edited a bit the description, i was only not happy that them was so "in plain sight" (Picture "E"), she gained a lot of elegance without these coconuts exploding out... I have nothing about breasts btw...

I've warn push up bras, they do exactly what her outfit does. But yea I agree they should have added more to her cleavage than just bare. She is a priest and elegant of fuck. I like where they went with her outfit.

I like it too, sadly also Rule 34 did, but hey, they like everything... I think that Heroes of the Storm is not "tit-centric" (LoL on the other hand...), i like how they are respective of woman characters, how they are not a tits/ass showcase for horny 12 years old kids... Only Kerrigan is a bit Hentai-ish imho, also a bit nova, but is only the outfit, nothing wrong with that.
PS: Do you have an explanation about Sgt. Hammer - Johanna and Sonya being girls, when usually siege tank/crusader/barbarian are presented as male (the siege tank on starcraft has alwais been male, like the hero siege tank Edmund Duke - the crusader has a ton of male merchandising, but there's a short story about a female crusader, i am ok with that - but Sonya is weird, 90% of Barbarian artwork from diablo 2 to diablo 3 represent uber male characters, the barbarian has alwais been male) ?
I suppose is for adding more women on the game, to counter femnazis maybe...

They likely made them the female reps because of the bitching about Tyrande, Nova and Kerrigan. 

Crusader being the female pissed me off. The male version had a much better voice actor.

I prefer the female crusader on Diablo 3, also on voice acting (at least on Italian client), she is even more merciless when attacking the forces of evil,plus she is blonde like me so ...
