I don't know, maybe I'm just not hitting the right sites... but we have a 15-year-old Goliath Barbarian in our game and trying to find "realistic" art that doesn't look monstrous is becoming a chore.

This led me to search for other such art for any kind of PC and come to realize that practically all art for D&D fantasy folks presumes fully-blossomed adulthood.

Without getting into anime or real-life pictures, where do you go when you need pictures of youthful heroes?

For what purpose is the art used?

I would recommend using symbols rather than portraits...a shield to represent fighters, a book to represent wizards, etc.

That's weird. I kinda thought all fantasy art these days looked like teenagers and would like to see some real looking adults. Opposites perception to you, it seems.
