[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8728458, member: 7023840"] Welcome to part three in the art appreciation series- One Piece of Art! Prior columns can be found here: [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/one-piece-of-art-what-d-d-art-inspired-you-to-love-a-class.690436/']Part I (Classes)[/URL] [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/one-piece-of-art-ii-monsters-what-d-d-art-inspired-you-to-love-a-monster.690507/']Part II (Monsters)[/URL] [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/one-piece-of-art-iii-magic-items-what-d-d-art-inspired-you-to-love-a-magic-item.690557/']Part III (Magic Items)[/URL] Today's topic- [B]What D&D Art inspired you to love a race?[/B] Now, for purposes of this thread, a necessary disclaimer. Please construe "race" to mean linage, ancestry, or other preferred term. This is meant to be welcoming, so any playable race can be considered and used if the art inspired you. Now, with that out of the way ... please note the following rules for the thread- 1. ONE piece of art. You shall count to one. If you do two, you've gone two ... um, too far. 1a.- FURTHER EXPLANATION. Some have complained about this "ONE piece of art" requirement. There are a few reasons for this- first, requiring a person to really dig down and pick a single thing tends to focus the mind. Second, if you don't make a limit, people will just spam art. 2. It has to have inspired you to "love" a particular race. Now, love in [I]in this context[/I] is totally up to you. Maybe the art inspired you to love D&D in general. Maybe it inspired you to want to play as that race (Hey, it's Legolas XCVii). Maybe that piece of art always shaped how you view that race. Maybe that art comes alive at night and steals one out of every two socks you own. Whatever, man, I'm not going to define your love! Feel free to explain why this particular piece of art (depicting a RACE) is so meaningful to you. 3. Explain the art source (incl. artist if known), the magic item, and why you chose it. Please! As I started the thread, I will go first. As always, I like to go a little idiosyncratic....
