| | I didn't notice any gratituous cleavage other than the Alchemist Savant in Magic of Eberron. (Which still isn't nearly as bad as Neverwinter Nights.) Were you talking about Heroes of Horror?!? | |

Well you see that's the problem right there, this never would have happened with a cleric of Clanggedin but with Moradin can you really blame him? [:P]
I've only looked through the Eberron books breifly, can't say I've ever really noticed gratuitous boobage, but then with the amount of boobage I see in a day, it would probably have to smack me in the face with 'em to notice. [:0] | |

| The topmost example is the Alchemist, which I noticed too because of the unusual "arrangement" of her shirt and cloak. Why do all these fantasy women wear such ridiculously revealing clothes? Maybe they hope their male opponents will be distracted or want to spare them in a fight.
The second to last one, which appears the most excessive, is kind of amusing to me. | |

Alchemist eh? Looks more like 'Drunk' to me. I mean only drunks tend to have more liquid pouring down their faces then in their mouths...
Just what 'kind of brews is she concocting? | |

| | Only two of those pics are from MoE. The middle pic is from Five Nations, the last two are from Sharn: CoT, with one of those pictures depicting Dragoneyes, a red-light district. There are plenty of pictures of ugly women in those books, too. You just remember the pretty ones. | |

Yeah, know all of the pictures arn't from MoE, that's just the first Eberron book I purchased. It brought the booby thing to my attention. And I realize there's ugly ones too, I'm just saying the Eberron artists seem to like cleavage. In fact, they like bare-chested men too..... | |

I think this is true for most straight men. Good thing I'm not an Eberron artist. You wouldn't even get faces, just cleavage... and lightening around the cleavage... and rain, yes rain on the cleavage. | |

| I think this is proving that Tomas Giorello is obsessed with breasts. And as previously mentioned, the one that isn't (with the very scanty red dress) is Parillio's illustration of Firelight, the largest red light district in Sharn.
And yes Red Ranger, I think it may be. The visual for her spell even looks like Gambit's basic projectile attack. In which case we have nothing whatsoever to fear from her, considering how useless that power is! (I've played all the way through Legends with a mate, and we're working on Legends II) | |

| I also vote for more pictures of bare-chested men. It's rare enough in D&D books (except some of the more gruesome undead and the occasional monk) that I think the artists could give us more without worrying the straight male market too much.
And hey, I like muscles a lot, but maybe some of the shirtless guys could be a little more normally sized, just like some of the womenfolk could have realistic boobs. | |

And I want more realistic looking Elves, Orcs and Magic spell affects too. There is just too much Fantasy in those drawings. [)] And the Fantasy of many is large breasted Women. (Not mine of course I am happily married to a very beautiful woman who just happens to read this board also.)

| As bad (in reference to the sexual influence and comic book feel) as some of the female art has turned in recent material, no one beats the Exalted females in that department.
It is obvious that it has an appeal, you can almost hear the drooling on some of the posts [)] but I rather keep my fantasy art old school. Here and there some flesh because well...bad girls do that and fits the role, but it seems every women is depicted not only as a fantasy character but not realisticaly proportioned; didn't know Dr.90210 was a PrC [:p] | |

It works for Asia Carrera! [:D] She was on G4's Players and said she created a skin for her Unreal Tournament character that was topless. She said that everyone stopped fighting to look at her "skin" and she'd frag them every time. She claims it isn't cheating... | |

He has a point. Just think of all the girls getting *ahem* things made better now a days. There would be droves of them if it cost almost nothing, and had no surgical drawbacks. And we all know Ebberon is *bursting* with magic. | |

But by that token, all male characters should have to role the dice each round of combat to find out if they tripped over their own winky or not. | |
