Thank you for clarifying things about polygon count & texture resolutions. Most of us can't pick up this kind of thing by only watching you work, so the added context went a long way to make me understand how it influences the final result and how it ends up looking in game.

Dude, I want these to be in-game so bad 😫

Tomkek placing mimiron heads next to eachother: "Look at it! Its terrible!" Me: "Yes. I can clearly tell the difference, its so obvious" also me: staring at numbers below and the heads to spot the difference

Such a shame we still have 2004 mount models ingame after 20 YEARS

I really hope Blizz hires/pays you and imports ALL your models to the game!!!!!! These look so rad, literal goosebumps at the reveal and I don't even play forsaken.

I never noticed the little flappy ears on the old model until today! That's part of what I love about these videos, the appreciation I get for the old models. It makes me notice things I never saw before, like those flappy ears on the undead horses, the horn and rearview mirror on the epic mechanostrider, etc.

I was just thinking i needed a dose of Tomkek.

Absolutely phenomenal work! Topology is immaculate! Texturing/painting is beautiful! When I worked on textures, I would look up actual skeletal references and musculature. Thats really my only nit pick and suggestion- otherwise this is extremely beautiful!

I have mained the first character I created in 2007 for 17 yrs. I play an Undead Warlock and I approve this remake!! "What are we if not slaves to this torment?" "We are the Forsaken!"

This is seriously some of your best work. You're not just doing simple uprezzing at this point, these mounts have a really nice warhammer-esque hand painted feel to them.

The only channel I always make a comment on a new video. Glad Asmon is supporting the growth of this channel, great seeing your work get the recognition. Very inspiring keep it up!

Amazing remake, as per usual. You made me remember that Forsaken were cool once T_T

aaaaawh jizz, i love everything about this! 7:35 was absolutly hilarious :D :D

Great job as always! Love to see that not only the art improves, but also the showcasing of them! Keep it up, man!

6:12 the Dutch electricity and gas prices be like, **Chapped Lips**.

Q&A: If blizzard had chosen one of your models to be depict. Which character or object would you prefer to be include?

One of the best minor updates I appreciated in recent years was blizz redoing the rabbit models. No longer do small bunnies in the world look like they could stab you to death with their heads and the don't literally fold in half like a piece of paper when they reach around to groom themselves.

The forsaken warhorses are some of my favorite classic mounts, I would give anything to see the updated models you've made in game!

These are incredible! I have always been a fan of your work and you really knocked it out of the park with these mounts. Blizzard would be lucky to have an artist like you

This might be out of reach due to the amount of work but is there any chance you could redo some of elwynn forests most popular locations, even the spawn area, (then maybe doing a series where you update locations one by one)no one has done it in the proper wow art style. I think this video would be loved by many. Anyways keep up the work love your videos

Long time forsaken fan, absoutley adore this. Also, got into warhammer and painting minis since the last time you made a video, to the point I now know what you are saying when you say base coat! Always fun to be able to appreciate the painting section a ltitle more.

I think I already commented that, but I want to say again, that while I only do 2D art, it's still very satisfying and interesting to watch you modelling! Absolutely fantastic video as always, keep it up!

Always love to see you do these things :D

I love it.... great work as always Bro 💯

2:48 That sounds like the most painful step of the process, I can't even imagine the amount of PTSD you'd have to go through to film that part, going to Shadowlands sounds horrible.

God I'm so glad starforge and asmon sponsored you bud. Your stuff is absolutely amazing!

Great Amazing Job on the Forsaken Warhorses! This feels like a great Forsaken Fan's Greatest Dream come true. I'm hoping Blizzard gives the Old Undead Horses a huge update someday in the future as remake HD Mounts.

13:08 was my first epic mount, that felt amazing to get it after you farmed for so long

okay you catched me here. Forsaken ? Forsaken Horses? You've gained a sub, great work

This is great. I wish you consider the most epic horse, Invincible!!! I think his remake is way past due and I'd love to see your version. You rock man.

This was amazing! I love those horses so much but they are so...painful to look at now. They deserve better. Thank you!

LEGENDARY VIDEO It's such a great sight to see you rework them so well!

Q&A: How is this possible to be so handsome and funny and talented in 3D art at the same time?

Q: Have you considered making alternate version of the things that you are remodeling? For example, once you are done with the remodeled asset and staying true to what they were, you could add an alternate version! Maybe you feel like the set would look better if it had a few more spikes somewhere or a different type of cloth or plate, or a different color pallet. There's so many subtle things that make such a big difference and I'm sure you can come up with some cool stuff that doesn't take ages to do. Artistic freedom, XYZ item/mount REimagined 😎you can ask people in the comments which one looks better and drive viewer engagement up that way to help you grow as well.

As someone who spends a lot of time around horses, I'm very impressed with this!! Great job :D

Another Great remaster! Good Job!

Looks so good! Thank you for making such inspiring content and sharing your art!

Amazing work as always.

These came out awesome!!! Fantastic job!!

You did such a great job on these!

That starforge sponsor! Good job,🎉 your updates are always so cool!

Nice vid! The Red Skeletal Warhorse is my favourite WoW mount ever

Once again, Amazing work! I'm in awe!

gz on the starforge sponsorship haha thats pretty cool. Asmon reached out huh? :D awesome work as always on the mounts man. You ashould work for blizzard and be payed top tier money

Damn, they all look so incredible! Amazing work man

I've been waiting for this, and boy, was it worth the wait! Awesome work as always! :-)

I will always love watching your videos Tom and look forward to the new channel! Keep doing the good work and hopefully Blizzard takes the hint and commission you for their models, hopefully!

Sooo good! Can't wait to see what you do next

another fantastic job tomkek. at this rate you'll have all the horde mounts updated.

Looks awesome dude! Good work!

How is it possible that mere polygons give me so much chills ! Awesome as usual ! Thank you to make us dream

Yo! I really appreciate how you took the time to talk about your skill set compared to what it’s like as a game designer artist. It was a very real segment, and as a fellow artist it meant a lot. I think you’re doing great! And I always appreciate the lengthy commentary.

great job , keep it up and grow man , we're looking forward to see your next projects

So much horse news vaush must be thrilled.

Dude as always, beautiful work.

Love your video as always. You've definitely have improved over the months. Keep at it and enjoy your passion. Remember not to burn yourself out.

Amazing work once again!

Great job as always, Blizz should just hire you to update the Racial Mounts for the older Races at this point

Never miss a video! Love your work thanks again Tomkek!

even with the less crisp textures as you said... they still look amazing and i hope they one day become the remodels for wow

Awesome video as always!

Another banger! but as always a double edged sword, knowing we'll never have these in game but being able to stare at your work is a privilege

I love the digs you make through out the video both at the expense of Blizzard and the community. It makes for a balanced experience, highlighting your love for the game.

You're a gem as always man. Loving the remakes.

For the Q&A: How long have you been an animator? Do you have any super old things youve made to show your growth progression? Its crazy to see what you can make now, but i always think its inspiring to see where someone started as well. Thanks for the videos, theyre super enjoyable!!

Holy shit, on my first time playing wow back in 2008, the forsaken warhorses were the most cool mounts for me.

Amazing work! I would love to see Blizz revamp the forsaken horses but for some reason only living creatures get love.

That's how it looked in my head when I first got my mount, well actually a bit worse because this is just on another level

actually insane how much more apprecation you deserve, cool vid man!

You are gonna be the next hurricane. You're insane dude, Blizzard should definitely hire you.

Amazing work man, keep going with your content !!!😎👍

You are one of the few people that actively make me consider trying to do 3D stuff again

“A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!” (King Richard III)

Well done man! (just commenting to boost you in the algorithm) Keep up the good work

These mount remaking videos are great. If you have time and consider suggestions could you remake the classic wind riders? Could be cool to see your spin on them.

7:33 that part couldn't more accurately describe modern WoW community lmao

Lovely models as Always. I can imagine Asmon will appreciate this one just as well as he has the others.

Another certified banger. love the how the bones look

Amazing work as always! Love to watch these as a fellow 3d artist, it makes me all squishy inside when it all comes so beautifully together. And don't mind the confused or mean comments, they are not worthy of your attention or thought.

What a beautiful remake!

Nice job, these mounts definitely need an upgraded model for sure

Excellent work!

Amazing as usual.

Gotta watch this before the reaction. Amazing work per usual.

Thank you for this one, I've mained undead for 20 years now, so this is a very welcome treat ❤️❤️

Looks amazing!

my jaw is on the floor, i was praying you'd do these ones! my absolute favorite mounts.

I love it!! The forsaken mounts are my favorites, seeing them remade is so cool! This makes me want to play WoW hahahaha Blizz should definately hire you

Quite possibly the best mount in all of classic wow keep up the amazing work man

Subscribing for the first time. I can't wait to deep dive this channel.

I know they're super tough, but your mount remake videos are my absolute favorites! I discovered your channel through the Mechanostrider video.

amazing job

Great job!!

Whooo the king is back

I would have added a small fiery ghostly glow to their eyes that rises a bit like smoke.

As a corpse, I'm very much appreciative of you pimping our ride.

As a person who are in the game industries, i really appreciate this kinda of work. Its looks cool visually and with few tweaks and optimization, it will be amazing game ready asset. This is the good base to work with. Great job!

I love them. I hope I can manage to rig these to the bones of their wow counterparts. Rigging the onyxian drake to the old drake skeleton has been kind of a nightmare XD

That just reminds me how it felt when I finally had the gold for the epic warhorse in classic. I bought the purple one and it was sooooo awesome 😍 I rode through all of Tirisfal and Undercity, enjoying the scene and sound beaming. Haww, sweet memories... thanks for that ❤ For the Forsaken!

This looks awesome! And fearsome! For the Dark Lady!
