Does Garona look incorrect?

I could have sworn that Garona was supposed to look half dreini and half orc. She was atleast supposed to have hooves right?
Maybe I'm getting my facts incorrect or maybe there are 2 Garonas and I'm forgetting something.
I rather not get into a discussion about whether or not being half dreini validates her to be a rouge with the hooves or not.
I want to get yes or no answers without deviating to an unrelated debate.
Is her model in the game an accurate representation of her from the RTS and written lore?

She has malformed feet; that's the most information we have on her for her heritage beyond what has been told.

Her model (and voice) are horrific, but she did not have hooves in the comics. Her feet were simply deformed to a degree.

I didn't notice any deformed feet in her in game model.
I'm assuming this is either incorrect or i'm not looking at it hard enough.
I'm not an animator but every time, blizz seems to take a really long time to create a new model for some people. Some model change choices blow my mind, like was it necesary to change the look of cookie's meat grinder weopon?
Again I have zero artistic knowledge but is it supposed to be very difficult and time consuming to create character models that are different in a game?

Yes it is.
And no, in game she is not like she was in the comics.

Garona was supposed to look primarily orcish, her only Draenei features being glowing purple eyes and almost hoof like feet.
In game she's wearing shoes (hiding her feet) and she has purple eyes.
Not sure how much more you might want...

Interestingly enough, her feet don't actually look like hooves in the comics. The only way we hear that they supposedly are is from a bit of dialogue Garona murmurs.
I think it's more of an oversight on the artists behalf (most likely they had already drawn her looking one way for several issues before the script for the issue where we learn her heritage was completed and kept drawing her the same way so as to not contradict themselves), but it's interesting, I think.

here's the only picture I can find of Garona without shoes on. It shows her feet as still essentially feet, just with the toes curled up into a hoof like shape.

Except that is an Old Picture, back before she was changed to half draenei.

I have a collage of every picture of Garona's feet from the comics, but I can't access Imageshack from my school's computer so I can't post it now.
Edit:

, I think I found it in one of my old posts.

They look like completely normal feet to me (espceially Med'an's since they arn't covered by boots in any of the shots, although this makes some sence since he's got human blood as well).

Of course, Garona does wear massive @#$% kickers on her feet...which is either the style(not so much, as the boots of Varian, the dwarven characters, and even Valeera don't have shapes like that) or it's meant to help give her extra support to misformed feet.

Yeah, Med'an's half human, and probably takes after Daddy in that regard. (Despite looking more like a draenei, facially, than Mama does.)
And we never see Garona barefoot. My guess is syndactyly and overdeveloped toenails.

That's very, very, very old.
It is a drawing from before there were draenei, when Garona was still half human.
And those are Heels, not hooves, she's wearing shoes. =P
Wow, I still have the manual for that game... Oh how I miss you O&H...
