R&C Art, the Women of R&C

We're getting off topic. If folks want to talk about feminism, feel free to head over to www.circvsmaximvs.com or a different site. It's virtually impossible to discuss here without straying into politics, so I'll ask that the subject be dropped and the thread return to the art discussion.

Thank you.

It's cool. Thanks for dropping it when asked; that's not always easy when it's something you feel strongly about. It's appreciated.

What's up with their boobs?

Mwahahaha I already saw your original post!

Uhh... they shouldn't be a core race.

The art is good.

Lol. I think we could disagree on the latter, but lets agree to disagree on that for now.

and for the record, I don't mind dragonboobies either...

Don't let this spread too far, but I may or may not have recieved confirmation that the reference to Dragonborn breath weapons is a typo.

In all seriousness, why no artwork of nurturing males?

Mostly because that kind of interaction is rarely part of "adventure gaming".

The burly half-orc barbarian coddling his precious infant son to his corded chest with huge, calloused, but lovingly gentle hands? The enthusiastic gnome father instructing his sharp-minded daughter (his pride and joy) in the ways of illusion?

Those would be awesome images though. I think that would add depth to both the Gnomish and Half-Orc steriotypes. Pity that neither race looks like it will be part of 4th Ed's PHB1

The kind elven father making funny faces at his tiny babe while he spoonfeeds her warmed berry mash?

While appropriate, Elven men really don't need any more help to look silly.

Nor I.

Though it bothers me that they don't have tails. That's just... wrong.

It's a game in which many people play clerics of merciful gods, protecting the innocent from the rapacious forces of darkness, so I disagree.

Now, I don't think we need to see illustrations of Throthgor Fell-hand, barbarian master of the Desolate Wastes, feeding babies from a bottle, but how about a paladin selflessly interposing himself between a troll and some old villagers? Or, similar to Werebat's suggestion, a fighter tutoring his apprentice in battle?

It would be misguided to include these types of themes and images simply to appeal to politically-correct sensibilities, but I've been playing D&D for twenty years and I've had my fill of battle scenes. I now like to play PCs for whom battles are means to greater ends, and that's something rarely portrayed outside of novels.
