[QUOTE="PowerWordDumb, post: 1027166, member: 8614"] Oh grow up. Somehow the idea of "I am not offended by unrealistic armor in a [i]fantasy[/i] art piece" has gotten mingled in your mind with "I must see half-naked ladies, hubba hubba!" I would be just as uncomplaining about half-naked Conan-style paintings (and no I don't swing that way) as they too fit the fantasy style. I just want the images to be compelling, whatever the content. Besides, if I want to look at half-naked women I'll buy a Playboy - I don't need Dragon to do it for me. That said, I also don't have a knee-jerk reaction of revulsion whenever a whole square inch of flesh is exposed in a fantasy art piece either. If I really thought Elmore drew nothing but cheesecake art, I'd move on, but he has done many wonderful pieces that expose no skin at all, and those that do are always compelling. Realistic art is also very cool, but variety is the spice of life. Individual preferences and the inevitable differences are fine. But at least try to be both reasonable and adult about it instead of mewling like someone kicked your dog, and throwing insults at people who disagree. [/QUOTE]
