Too bad for you.
I may criticizes feminism, I agree with them on such stupidity. Fantasy needs to grow up and open to the non-white, non-male, non-nerd.

The women in the book are definitively on the good-looking side, I daresay "hawt" - but not "in-your-face", a la Chainmail bikini.The Ubbergeek said:At least, it's more or less neutral.

Dude, seriously. I really did not like the "PC floating in a void" art that was so common in 3E. I was very glad to see a reappearance of the actual game world.Kamikaze Midget said:I also applaud the art team for going with more "vistas" like the human on horseback that give a context to the world, rather than just having character floating around in whitespace all the time.
I noticed that too. I thought to myself: "This looks like a Trolllord Games book ..."Of all the females depicted in the book, only the Elves, Eladrin & Halflings are truly slender. The human women actually have a quite non-supermodel fullness and curve to them. William O'Connor seems to have a nice eye for more "realistic" female figures. They're still "ideally proportioned," of course, but they've all got a solidity that's been lacking in D&D art of late.
