[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6318269, member: 92511"] Well, in my initial response (which the internets ate), I was more precise. It's not that I want or expect them to be, like, "Christmas/pine" or "grass" [B][COLOR=#008000]GREEEEN[/COLOR][/B] or anything. My initial thought was that with the colors that were used in the image, I might have gone a bit more in the "olive-greenish-into-yellowy/tan/khaki" direction than the "yellow-sandy-khaki-tinged-with- olive" that was used. But the "olivey-khaki" green-tinged brown-ish yellow-ish that was used is good/"makes sense" for camouflaging in woodlands and swamps where, I think it is expected, a lot of goblins will be lurking about. I, personally, would have ventured a bit more into the green spectrum while maintaining a yellowy-tan-dusty kinda look. And/or a bit more divergence in the skintones, just among the group we see. Maybe one is noticeably more olive, one is noticeably more yellowed or more "brown" vs. sandy/tan, etc... Best of both worlds...the "green goblin" expectations are closer to being met without the Christmas tree green of popular perceptions & PF, and maintaining the yellowed type skin "goblinoids" seem to be expected to have by a lot of folks here as "D&D goblins." I will say, until this thread...I had not realized ALL goblinoids were supposed to be in the yellow-orange-red family. My recollections were always that goblins were pictured or described as [I]grey[/I] or greyish green. Hobgoblins, most notably, were orange-to rusty-to red with BLUE noses/snouts! That's what always made hobgoblins stand out in my mind. And the bugbears were traditionally pictured with decidedly "yellow" (or maybe ochre) skin, but almost entirely covered with shaggy hair in any/all shades of brown or brownish grey (and then grey-er/greying with age)...So I always, mentally, just think of bugbears as "brown". But when I had to rewrite the whole post over again...I didn't quite go into that much detail on the subject. :p [/QUOTE]
