[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4995364, member: 5202"] The butt which we can't actually see (unlike in a lot of fantasy art) b/c it is obscured by her skirt. Yes the skirt is slit high up the sides, but running thru dungeons, that just sounds better as far as unrestricted movement. The breasts are like a full C really, possibly a D. Sorry, that isn't porn star proportions. Heck, it isn't even Barbie proportions! (prior to her proportions being made more realistic) She's also rather tall. Her pose says to me that she is in the process of turning to face a new enemy and advancing toward them. Where other people are seeing "stupid pose", I'm seeing "implied action". No, but the OP did :) I actually had to track down an enlargeable copy of the cover art from someone's blog from 2008 about why they hate the cover (so fitting really) so that I could blow it up a bit here at work and look at it in better detail. I like the art from the CRB and agree it would have made a good PHB cover. Obviously whoever was making those decisions at WotC didn't agree with that and continues to not agree with that, given the recent DSCS art changes. [/QUOTE]
