This doesn't mean that she looks like a pin-up or softcore porn model. I think you are speaking in hyperbole here.Lipstick sure, ok you see that but I cannnot see other makeup. I don't see eyeliner, blush, or anything that makes me think makeup except the lipstick. I see a lot of non-pinup fantasy art where women's skin coloring is far better than it often is in real life. Hell in fantasy, women probably wake up looking beautiful alot of the time. There is certainly some idealizing going on in fantasy art and I'm ok with that.There is some truth to what you are saying but that isn't what I saw when I saw the picture. I don't see a girl into S&M or a prostitute or anything that made my mind go there. I think that your assessment is somewhat subjective and your associations are your own. I am not arguing that the outfit isn't sexy, I am just saying that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.She's not wearing heavy leather fishing boots, she is wearing what appears to be some articulated leather armor around her lower and mid-thighs that sits over her boots. These things don't even wrap around to the back of the leg, they are obviously strapped on. These are apparently designed to offer some minimum protection while at the same time avoiding the problem you describe.I don't agree at all. I see nothing about what she is wearing that is confining at all. Her gear may not protect her thoroughly but I bet if she take a jab to the shoulders, chest or lower to mid thighs her gear would offer her some protection. She is by no means worse off by wearing what she is wearing. She would be far, far more vulnerable if she were dressed in the manner demonstrated by your "appropriate" picture.I think that this picture and others like it, when combined with a broader variety of non-Cheesecake art, does no damage at all to the hobby whatsoever. I personally feel that more women than not wouldn't bat an eyelash at the picture let alone think that this is a game they wouldn't want to play. I might agree of the picture was going to be the cover of the PHB but it isn't.Personally I wish it was merely for the fact that the ugly WAR art WoTC decided to go with leaves me cold.Wyrmshadows</blockquote>
