Two not necessarily related things:
(1) I am very happy that the range of characters shown in the official D&D art is much more inclusive in just about every sense than it used to be (appearances akin to the variety of IRL racial/ethnic groups, breaking streotypical gender roles, everyone gets practical clothes, dare I mention glasses, etc...).
(2) I am very happy DnD ditched physical attractiveness being tied to Charisma with 4e and 5e.
A recent thread touching on (1) made me wonder a bit about its intersection with (2). What are the examples in the WotC D&D art of young adult human protagonists who don't fit with the Hollywood stereotypes of human physical attractiveness?
Do we have young adult human characters of all classes that are portrayed heroically but are significantly above or below the BMI recommendations? Who don't appear to be particularly athletic? Who have acne or acne scars? Who have non-combat induced scars? Who have obvious vitiligo or hemangioma? Who don't look like they've had braces on their teeth earlier in life? Who look like they wouldn't be cast as a sorority or fraternity member in a stereotypical movie of the sort?
If there aren't, are there any reasons not to? Does it feel awkward to even look through the art to try and locate ones that you don't think fit what others think of as conventionally attractive? Why is this all so hard?
[I had no idea where to shove this prefix wise, so put in where the thread that inspired it was at.]
