So...  The game is going change from a game to a political statement?  Well, unsold.

Quote from: ZWEIHÄNDER;947315Another example: we went full-on beefcake with some of our artwork with males, and titillation with females.

See the image below of the Prostitute career. If you can guess who the male character was modeled after - a movie made its rounds in Hollywood not once but twice -  I'll send you the illustrated PDF for free upon release:

Channing Tatum?

Anyway I like that artwork. Always nice to mix it up even if some like to call it 'virtue signalling' (what do you call it when people beat the term virtue signalling into the ground?).

Just read a blog where a guy reviewed the Rules Cyclopedia and notes the high representation of women and POC in the art. Shows how much of a toxic influence the net has become to civil discourse that the RC was published in 1991 with that artwork and he/she in the text without a peep but to do the same today ignites an anti-PC shitstorm.

Close. Go right.

White European and American males aren't the only folks who play tabletop RPGs. Sorry that our approach doesn't appeal to you.

Quote from: Pat;947316Almost none are created from whole cloth. They're usually just human plus, animal plus, or some mix of humans and animals. If you don't know how to draw a horse, you can't draw a good centaur. And it's even more obvious when a monster has a humanlike form, because of familiarity.

Got'cha.

Matthew McConaughey? Should have guessed that with the hayseed look.

Quote from: Voros;947313'Accurate' is an odd qualification for fantasy creatures, some created whole clothe.

Thank you for the info.

Yeah "accurate" might seem like a weird qualifier in fantasy art but even if that is not the correct word for it, it is something I look for. I like a little bit of that real world grittiness in fantasy art. I have several miniatures of peasants that have patches in their battered clothes. Miniatures of Orc and Ogre family units. I love miniatures that try to evoke that "Level 1" trype character that is in over their head and should probably just go home. Or a chubby succubus...

Check out the cover to the BECMI D&D Creature Crucible.... over burdened with gear and dragging the wizard into the dungeon kicking and screaming.

Give me a picture of a Knight about to pee himself going into battle. A sorceress scared to death of whatever arcane powers she has just unleashed. A group of Dwarves astounded at the luck to be able to bury such riches.

Or maybe it is even the real world ecology that informs some of Larry Elmore's art. I'm not very good at posting images to the board but look up "bloodstone lands" a painting by Larry Elmore. This might be my single favorite piece of fantasy artwork. It is a painting of an evil fantasy army marching laboriously through snowy mountains. It looks like it could well be a painting of George Washington crossing the Potomac if not for all the undead and giants.

Maybe accurate is not the word but there is something to be said for a fantasy thing could exist in an alternate real universe, maybe "relate-able" is the word. I think that might be the other element the OP's artwork is missing reading through the thread.

So far we have:
Minotaur has a cut penis that is just hanging out when Gronan says it shouldn't. And I don't even want to see the inclusive drawing of the female minotaur that would solve the latter issue.
Lust demon with silicone tits and cock rings.
Ghost thing with fake boobs..
Apparently the only thing getting a pass is the giant with the 2 ft. pecker and the creatures that did not get any naughty bits.

So basically, non-humans don't wear clothes.

Really people?  Who fucking cares if some monsters have some naughty bits showing?

Awesome thanks!

I have to wonder what the reaction to the art would have been without the statement in the OP.

That explains my first reaction to the art: While the woman looks at least vaguely historical (vaguely), the man looks like a modern stripper who stole a RenFaire hat.
