First Big Update
:bulletgreen:Added the Pandaren Race
(With the new race models coming out in mists. They will be added along side their former models as a different color. The old model's scaling will not be discarded.)



Things People Want Me To Change
Change FemNelf text eyecolor to silver, and MaleNelf text eyecolor to yellow for ~Alexavis
Further tweaking on MaleTroll's full height for ~LucyKilledPaul
Further research on draenei heights in reference to this. And change leg names for Tauren and Draenei to 'Artiodactyls' thanks to ~iAlly

COMPLETED EDITS
Added upright male Troll thanks to *maskurade
Added upright male Orc thanks to ~Desheria
Added upright male Undead.
Added upright male Tauren.
Changed male Nelf's eye color to yellow for ~Zxyfrin
Changed # of fingers for Draenei for ~Nuhm
Researched male Draenei height for ~NIELSPETERDEJONG and ~yaotl
Reworded 'double joint knees' to 'Digitigrade Legs' for ~Shalinka
Added Pandaren
Researched female worgen height for ~lucksaint
Changed my site link from Onesockwolf.weebly.com to EmmaMullins.weebly.com






I am not calling it the "Best" because I'm being cocky. But seriously, Google 'WoW Race Height Comparison' and you'll see what I mean.

So. I set out to make my own. Which in my opinion, is the best out there now. Hopefully others who need a reference like this will find it instead of getting frustrated like I did.



>>Work Stats<<

10+ Hours
Over 300 Screenshots
PTSAI
Paint.net
Wacom
World Of Warcraft

Steps Used to get accurate heights.
Based on the fact that Human Males are 6 feet tall. Source:: Page 174 of "World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game"

1. Character Creation Screenshots edited into silhouettes
2. Screenshot front and side view of each race and gender next to 3 different characters for sizing reference.
3. Sorted through 200+ screenshots, getting correct angle, naming, deleting, overlaying and resizing.
(This eliminated the character creation screen scaling 'errors', such as the Male Troll only reaching the Male Tauren's waistband.)
4. Combined into around 30 screenshots.
5. Hours of overlaying, scaling and tweaking.
6. Final silhouettes created.
7. Details added.

I don't mean to nag but the Height of the female Pandaren is actually about half their head height taller than the orc female. The Character creation screen lies about the Pandaren females being shorter (or as tall as) human females. I'm truly sorry if I'm not the only one to point this out.

:) Sorry for any mistakes, if you read the descrip, the way I made this, was with several screenshots of each type, standing next to others, ingame. Not off the character screen. Any mistakes are just environmental issues i think. Either way, I'm not updating this chart any longer :)

Thanks for letting me know!

I like how you put them if they were standing up straight and not hunched over as a shadow.

I like how you made the races who slouch stretch upstraight in the background. Man, the trolls are tall.
