D&D 4E Women in 4E

Oh come on...it's not Weapon of the Gods...it's not even really Exalted. And it's not Diablo II or WoW either, is it?

I didn't say that I would. Just that people would. Check out the "find me anime" thread for examples.

Huh, if I'd go with some of those, Tiffany would be anime, too. Big eyes? Check. Aliens? Check. Talking furries? Check. Complex storylines with silly inserts? Check. Only missing a SD character screaming "kawaiiiiii" or "segoiiii" now and then.

Or this?

Any differences? Same thing?

If it was Lady Linth there, we'd have seen about eight times as many Paladins in 3E, not so much because she was "less sexaaay", but because that's a far more excitingly drawn and interesting character that old brown-armoured bore who doesn't even look like 99.999% of Paladin characters.

Also, dual-wielding on a Pally is way cool.

Finally, the moment where, like so many other ENWorlders, I realize that I, too, would have Rel's babies.

I agree. Why does Exalted get art of this quality, while D&D gets art the quality of the 3E Iconics? (though some of them do look good, and certainly there is plenty of nice 3E art -- I'm just sayin' is all...)

As far as my opinion on this much debated matter: give me practicality, "realism", and (basically) family-friendly art, with the occasional cheesecake/beefcake (contemplative sorceress, lounging bard, etc...) and I'll be happy.

EDIT: I should mention that this is what I look for in a game that is supposed to have as broad an appeal as D&D. Different games can certainly have different aesthetics and can be as raunchy as they wish (I'm quite fond of more adult-oriented art, I would just rather have D&D more pg-13 than R)

Tiffany from Suburban Jungle? Heck yeah, she's anime-influenced, that's no secret. In fact, I've had long talks with my colorist about getting that anime look.

Hookay, now that I returned to this thread after letting it sit for three days.

I've only got two real comments.

1) I looked at the horse/goat headed pics earlier. As the resident furry (Yeah, I can sense your respect for me being cranked down a few pegs now), I will say these are... not titillating. Trust me, when it comes to drawing anthros, even men, in titillating manner, those don't come close.

2) It still surprises me that people like Lidda. Her face, it always looked decrepit to me.

As the resident furry...

Not the only one!

I learned this while posting on a political message board. And that's all I'm going to say about politics.
