I don't know why you see the Druid Elder younger. For me it is exactly the other way around as it should be, because that one is Elder.
You're right, the Treant doesn't look like a tree, and their moving animations are too fast, don't you think

That's my point! He suppose to be older, but he looks younger!

You know what? I would like to get quality point for that. 
If it's boarding for you, you don't have to reply it and insulting other people that worked hard on things like that.
So I'll say it nicely thistime: If you have something like that to say, don't say it where the creator can read it.
Except of the quality point thing, that's okay. 
So far, nobody has received a QP on this board afaik, even though some users written almost ESSEYS which also were quite useful/interesting. Sorry to disappoint you, but admins ignore the H5 main board lol ;p
Anyway, that's a lot of work you did. Good job.
If you want QPs, maybe they are willing to give them on offtopic, dunno.
They have given QP's on this board, but Moderator activity has been dropping the last two months.
Anyway, though I appreciate the work, this thread is too subjective to earn a QP imo. This is Genie_Lord's personal oppinion of the designs, and though it's nice and fun, it's neither particularly innovative nor helpful for board users or gamers in general.

Actually, this thread became talking about QP and my works instead of talking the topic: Sylvan's creatures' design.
I sure you all noticed it's starting to be a spam.

Yeah, sorry for straying off topic. Actually I must say I find the Sylvan unit layout very pleasing. The War Dancer's Tatoo and the Druid Deer helmet is probably some of the most innovative details in creature details in the game, and it goes incredibly well with the Sylvan wood theme. I'm less enthusiastic the Master Hunter ... ehh ... hat? ... and the blue Silver Unicorn seems a bit strange as well ... but overall good and coherent creature design I think. And yes, I like the new Treant. Seems very menacing (unlike the wooden fence of the Beta).

Pixie/Sprite: In some way i don't flee that this creature has changed that much through out HoMM story but this takes the creature to a higher lvl, i love that their wings are gone, because this give them a more nature like glow.. And the Butterflies are a good little thing.
Dancer/War dancer: I think the Blade dancer is so "Gay" to look at... I don't the war he looks but well then you upgrade it and WauW It really thoughens up and gain a greater attitude.. I like it...
The hunters: Again the first looks rather weak but then he upgrades and I dissagree with you(genielord) its not just a bush, it to me looks like camouflage, the only problem is the colour because i don't think they fight at the fall All year? It should be a more neutral nature colour... but else pretty good!
The druid/elder: I really like these guys though the druid elder is TOO MUCH Nature... But i really like it too...
The unicorn/silver: The unicorn is pretty good looking, with some little flowers on it... The silver unicorn is to me: UGLY! The colour is NOT silver its BLUE... I hate it... I would much rather have seen a Bigger, stronger, more war typed unicorn (Like HoMM3)
Treant/ancient: This is the HoMM stories worst looking treant... Its weird looking, all thin and big headed for me this is no treant. The tree is all gone and left is some brances with some weird head... A bad creature...
Green/ Emerald dragon: if this is a green dragon i'm the king of sweden! This the worst green i've seen... and the head of these drakes are more bird looking... I don't know what this emerald is suppose to look like but again the colour is very ugly... I don't like it...
P.S. Genielord, Boring, not boarding, Boarding is actully not a word. Not saying this to assult you...

I like Pixies & Sprites.

Heh, I like the Blade Dancer more than the War Dancer
I don't get why you say he's gay.. Remember he's not a human, don't expect him to look like a muscular and fat dumbass human who uses brute-force 
The reason I don't like the War dancer is that he looks too "dirty" with all those tatooes on him.

I like both hunters, the Master hunter does seem to be a bit more "unpeaceful" but else his figure is more like a warrior or something.

What do you mean too much nature? That's what Druids are supposed to be.
Else I really see the Druid much younger and peaceful than the Elder -- for me the Elder really seems "older", you just have to look "closer" into his character (especially sounds).
Remember he's not a human, so "white hair" is not considered "old".

This one is lovely.

Don't forget their amazing dexterity

What do you mean "worst green"? Would you like it to be pure and "childish" in colors like a clown? Don't get me wrong, but the dragon is excellent. The "weird" head is just plain original and cool, you wouldn't want the same head all over, right?
The emerald dragon does seem to be much to "intense" in it's strange colour, so I don't like it that much. But the green dragon is excellent in my opinion.

The blade dancer got tights on! That why i say he looks a bit "gay" (trying not to offend anyone) and the war dancer is awesome, though he must cold a lot 
The druid elder gets to much nature because he got a dear head on him(looks cool) but every thing on him just screams of nature... maybe a bit more civil... I can't explain, don't mind me
Those green drakes just don't have a good green colour its so weak in the colour, when i hear green dragon i just get a picture of a dark green colour like the other games...
P.S how can you like those unicorns?!(silver one)

If you know that these are "Wood elves" then probably it won't seem strange to you. What you suggest is better for humans

I thought you meant something else. Dark green is cool, but I don't see a problem with the current light-green. The design, aka model & texture, is excellent.
Quote:

The "unicorn" looks more like a very lovely creature. The "silver unicorn" looks like a gentle creature. If you mean that because he is called "Silver" instead of blue, then probably you're right, but that's not a reason to dislike them.
If you look closely at him from different angles (3D) you'll feel a somewhat gentle aura around him.
