Quote from: cranebump;947700Maybe we should just have been asked what we thought of the artwork in general.
I actually do like the artwork... but agree with sentiments that the 'naughty bits' are uninspired. Those cocks could be a lot more threatening/angry/mutated.

I remember the first time I saw my baptist youth group leader's penis. He was uncircumcised and it scared me... 'what the heck happened there!' If I'd had proper illustrations in my games back then I would have been spared that moment of horror.

Has anyone read In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak? No reason, just wondering.

Also wondering why the Minotaur has what appears to be a goat, sheep, or maybe musk-ox head.

Other than Dark Albion, has there been an OSR Warhammer clone?

Because of this thread, I got a PM asking me to dabble into it, but I wonder if its already been done.

There is a great B/X-WRFP hack called Small But Vicious Dog that is only 36 pages.

Thank you! I will check it out!

So, reading the comments on the Kickstarter yesterday, I came across:

Quote from: Dave SherohmanMy only complaint about these images is that they feel too Warhammer-derivative to me: That carnal demon isn't a reference to daemonettes, it *is* a daemonette. The jabberwock isn't just the same design as the WFRP1 jabberwocky, I'm pretty sure it's in the same pose as the one in the WFRP1 core book. Etc.

which I couldn't help but agree with. But it put some wheels in motion in my head about how I'd personally go about re-interpreting the Warhammer Daemons if I were to want to capture the concept but not copy the GW designs, and so sitting in class this afternoon I sketched these four...

Daemon of Lust


Daemon of Plague


Daemon of Secrets


Daemon of Rage

Tristram your art is very nice & certainly vastly better than that of the OP! :D

I really like those pieces, as well. Brain 'asplode, Illuminati everywhere, exhibitionist plague bird, and tentacle Harley... they capture the different themes in very obvious ways.

Why do demons of lust always have tits?
A lust demon could just as easily have gaping anus for a mouth with a bunch of dripping tongues writhing out that terminate in groping hands and ogling eyes.  If you want to get edgy, anyway. If you still want it to have tits you could make the lust demon a turgid, phallus shaped monstrosity except that the testicles are the breasts, and eight women's legs arranged like the legs of a spider, or octopus tentacles but with nipples instead of suction cups.
I'm saying you can get creative and original with it.
Don't just stick Halloween horns and tentacles on a generic hot chick though. That's boring and lazy.

Speaking personally, it would depends on if the lust demon was supposed to be tempting or exotic but attractive or an example of sexuality twisted into something inhuman and monstrous (body horror, IOW). A figurative pantheon could easily contain several types, "traditional" succubi/incubi and hentai tentacle rape beasts and then some varying according by what they're meant to invoke (lust, revulsion, terror, etc).

Of course, if look at some of the porn floating around on the internet you can never tell exactly what a particular image might inspire in some viewers ;)

Quote from: S'mon;947767Tristram your art is very nice & certainly vastly better than that of the OP! :D

Its presents a different feel, not as traditional but I wouldn't say its vastly better, IMO. And its comparing some quick sketches to more refined pieces.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."

Thanks; I don't know about that, I like the OP's art Okay (minus the pinned-on penii), but I wanted to explore something different from copying GW.

Because men lust after tits.

Sure, one can Cronenberg it up, but I was going for "lust" not "lewd"

QuoteDon't just stick Halloween horns and tentacles on a generic hot chick though. That's boring and lazy.

Well, just to be clear - its not a hot chick, look closely and you'll see that its a skinless octopi thing with a hot chick's skin grafted onto it.
