Dungeons and Dreamboats VIII: Bulletproof Nudity

[Shalist]

Whoever is hosting images from img.reactor... my security software is telling me there's a Trojan.

And tweaked.

@Glyphstone Could you edit the 'phoenix'-Kerrigan pic out of your quote a few posts back?

[The Glyphstone]

Done and done.

So, there are a couple of pictures I saw on these threads (I think it was the previous one) which I would like to find again but can't seem to locate. One was a character in dark-colored plate armor (either dark blue or black, I think), pretty sure it was a female. She had a sword in hand and a laser pistol of some sort on her hip. The other was of a man in similar armor, with a cybernetic device over one eye, a sword buried through the skull of some sort of creature and firing a sci-fi type pistol. I am pretty sure they were two pictures in the same post. So if that sounds like something in your collection, I'd appreciate if you could link it for me!

Or any pictures of a knight-type character in full plate but with sci-fi elements. I've tried searching myself but 80% of what google gives me is WH40k Space Marines, which isn't really what I'm looking for.

A few more pictures I've found while searching:

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/44/e9/25/44e9252095f1637672327a45e50fb4fd--dark-fantasy-fantasy-art.jpg

I've found several sci-fi characters with swords... but far fewer medieval fantasy style warriors with just one or two modern/sci-fi elements. The last one gets closest to the general feel I'm going for. It's frustrating, I remember the images I'm looking for pretty clearly, but I just can't find them...

EDIT: It appears I am a massive derp. I found one of them, at least, on the front page of this thread. It appears I remembered the color of the armor wrong, but everything else matches. Could have sworn I was reading the older thread when I found it...

Maybe someone could help me out: I'm looking for a picture for a teenaged androgynous human wizard, the harder it is for the casual viewer to assign a gender the better.

Bonus points for a) short hair (up to and including completely shaven head) and b) darker skin tone (mixed racial parents)

I can't seem to find the picture online, but the image for the Punin mage in Aventurische Magie fits the bill pretty darn well, if you have access to that book?

I am looking for an hulking orc (or half-orc) in a pinstripe suit that would not look (much) out of place in one of the Godfather movies. Using the Incredible Hulk in a suit may have to serve, but I am hoping for better.

If you're okay with your orc not being green-skinned, Shadowrun has a few options I found floating around:

Might as well make a repeat request from earlier, refined a bit:

Trying to find two people - one male, one female, who are similar enough in features to be siblings/twins, both in military uniforms or aristocratic-style costume. They don't have to be in the same pic, in fact it's better if they are in separate pictures.


Does this still have the sci-fi/without obvious magic requirement?

The sci-fi would be preferable, but not essential. The lack of obvious magic is still necessary, yeah.

[Roxxy]

So not an image, but something very interesting nonetheless:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBtvS5yhTA8

Shad's argument, for those who aren't going to watch, is that Medieval and early Renaissance armor was designed to emphasize male sexual traits, insofar as this could be done without emphasizing safety on the battlefield. Namely, a very thin waist was often considered attractive on a man, so armor was designed to be narrow in that area in regions where that was the ideal, and large codpieces were very often fashionable. Therefore, Shad makes the argument that boob plate on armor specifically designed for women wouldn't be out of line. If historical male armor emphasizes an attractive waistline and a very sizeable manhood, armor which emphasizes female breasts would make complete sense, so long as the means of emphasis doesn't compromise defensive ability. So boob plate is actually realistic and perfectly in line with armor design philosophy, but any sort of exposed cleavage is still ridiculous.

I think it's a very interesting argument, at the very least.

Im skeptical. While I have no doubt that there was armor made to be ornate and visually appealing, it was often separate from actual battlefield armor. To say nothing of the fact that there were so many layers worn under the actual plate that a boob plate would not actually conform to the shape of a woman's torso at that point.

To say nothing of the fact that there were so many layers worn under the actual plate that a boob plate would not actually conform to the shape of a woman's torso at that point.

Shad is specifically talking about battlefield armor. Men did in fact wear thin waisted, large schlonged armor into battle.

As to boob plate, It's not supposed to conform to the shape of the torso, anymoreso than a codpiece conforms to the shape (and size) of the penis. A lot of armor also tends to overemphasize the shape of the hips, because of the narrow waistline. In fact, fitted armor already has a noticeable chest bulge, which doesn't conform to the shape of a man's torso. It's there to direct blows away to either side. What Shad argues is that this existing bulge could easily be moved higher and a bit out to emphasize the breasts, similar to a codpiece, which would fit into existing armor design philosophy, while not negatively impacting the ability of the armor to block incoming blows.

[Max_Killjoy]

Some of those supposedly "enhancing" features on armor for men have nothing to do with sexuality, and everything to do with making the armor work as armor, in terms of what fit works best for movement, how gaps are covered, what angles work best for deflection and for where armor needs to be thicker and where it can be thinner, and so on.

To my knowledge, while the lorica segmentata did require the absence of a gut in order to distribute weight properly, it wasn't really narrow waisted compared to later European armors.

[Mendicant]

IDK, a big codpiece or a narrow waist don't fundamentally compromise the armor the way decorative boobs would. I'm especially skeptical of the "move the dome higher" argument, since the ventral dome in most cuirasses is as much or more vertically aligned as it s horizontally aligned--it just wont look like boobs that much. I'm not an armor expert, but I don't think you'd want it that high at all unless it was basically a vertical ridge--you're gonna guide weapons towards your head and neck otherwise.

I think he's right that people's aesthetics influenced design--hell, greek/roman muscle cuirasses were a thing and most likely were worn in actual combat at certain points--so it's not at all implausible that in a world where women regularly operated in plate that plate would often reflect people's idea of a feminine aesthetic. I just don't think boobplate would have been the way to go unless it was pretty subtle.

[Mike_G]

I'm going to jump in with the group who think that the "breasts" on a breastplate would compromise it's effectiveness.

Traditional keel shaped breastplates direct force off to the side if you get hit pretty much anywhere on the breastplate. Having boobs on it would direct the force of some blows to the sternum, which is a really bad idea.

You could, I suppose, have a break-away boobplate on top of the regular breastplate, something thin and lightly attached, if you really wanted to emphasize your breasts without compromising the effectiveness of your armor.

[exelsisxax]

Cleavage in armor unquestionably reduces its effectiveness. You are adding material to deflect strikes towards your vitals: that is a design fail. The proportions of that particular boob plate are also quite absurd for people actually present on the battlefield. If we look at female athletes, a... generous top-heaviness is the first thing to go. That armor would be restricted to an extremely narrow range of women with a weird fat distribution AND a very particular level of fitness.

So sure, put that thing up next to those ridiculous gold leaf and 2000 hours of enamel engraving sets of decorative or trophy suits. But that isn't real armor.

This is real armor. It's just male armor with size adjustments for a female. You want to not die, you don't make boob cups.

Aesthetic wise, I like the male armor fitted for females. Realistic wise, if men's armor accentuated thin waists and large codpieces, it would make sense that women would have boobplates too. But that was then, and women weren't allowed to serve. I see this argument as an argument of both perference and something of realistic value too. Also this thread is a godsend, found some great portraits that sparked some great NPC ideas. Bless this thread. Also can I get a tiefling female with blue skin, dark hair, and sorcerer that is not Jester?

Again, as max_killjoy mentioned, these are not aesthetic choices. They are design elements of plate armor to make it more protective. The codpiece is big because it needs to protect your entire groin area, including the upper legs. You'd see the exact same thing on female armor. Some decorative, useless armor suits have stupid codpiece designs because they are not for function, just as some suits for females have boob cups.

Real armor has a boob plate, singular, that deflects blows outwards - in both male and female suits. There's just a difference in contour. No real armor has boob cups.

Codpieces and wasp waists were definitely influenced by aesthetics and saw combat; the landsknechts, for instance, had pretty oversized codpieces that were well past the point of strict utility. As long as doing so doesn't come with a serious cost, people will shape equipment to their aesthetic preferences. A sōmen gets turned into a demon face, a helmet gets more crest than strictly necessary, etc.

While this is technically true, a boobplate will never be anything other than lethally dangerous to actually wear into a fight. Theres a vast difference between taking an existing design element and changing it slightly for aesthetics, and changing it such that it dramatically changes its function.

[LordCdrMilitant]

Honestly, I kind of doubt a boob plate would have any significant detrimental effect [the fact that it would certainly be uncomfortable notwithstanding].

Anyway, back to the shell-trap... I don't think it matters. Being a shell-trap isn't relevant if the penetrator in question won't penetrate anyway. Cutting or stabbing through a steel plate is a largely futile endeavor, and it's not relying primarily on it's deflective properties. Adding cups wouldn't magically compromise the plate's structural integrity. Also, that region is the best guarded part of the body.

That said, I'm sure fighting with cloth, chain, then a steel plate wedged between my breasts would certainly be less comfortable than otherwise, and might impair my ability to fight well, but that doesn't have anything to do with armor weakpoints and shell traps.

Even if the armor isn't actually destroyed, that's a lot of force that's suddenly smacking into an area not well suited to resisting that force. That's why armor is designed to deflect force away from the body instead of just absorbing it. It might not kill you outright, but it isn't doing anything good to you, that's for sure.

Can anyone help me with images of a heavily armored, female martial artist/unarmed fighter? Lots of monks in robes, not enough in plate. Long red hair preferable but not essential.

Thanks in advance.

It's not penetration from the blades you have to worry about (although repeated hits on the armor can still bruise and exhaust), it's the blunts and the armor-piercers. And the bullets. And depending on who you ask maybe arrows and crossbow bolts. Shots in particular are far more likely to skip off of a convex design, following the path of least resistance. Likewise, a mordhau or a warhammer to the chest might fail to connect solidly if it slides off to the side of a convex shape. Concave armor design, on the other hand, may actually channel the force inward, allowing more of the energy to penetrate (resulting in bruising and broken ribs) and more rapidly compromising the integrity of the plate. In the case of something like a pike or an estoc, it might even cause hits to skid upwards towards the throat or downwards toward the pelvis, where there are gaps to be exploited. This is to say nothing of the fact that for boobplate to even be form-fitting on most women, the armor would need to be nearly skintight and thus at an additional mechanical disadvantage (plate is individually fit but not that individually fit).

Some aspects of armor design absolutely reflect an idealization of aspects of the male form. Some cultures and subcultures (Landsknechts have been mentioned) in particular used exaggerated presentation that was occasionally criticized even in its time. But in general plate was around for long enough and faced a consistent enough package of threats that armorers had learned to create idealized elements that were also functional. Boobplate, on the other hand, has no historical basis, would have numerous likely faults, and appears in fantasy art for one reason: to remind us what the character looks like without the boobplate on.

I'll add getting knocked off balance being more likely in boob plate for this reason.

So boobplate at all is totally impossible without more or less negating the entire point of armor?

Depends how you want to define the point of armour. If the point is to strike a sensible balance between protection and ability to fight, all with the materials and the skills available - then no, boob plate is right out. But you don't have to pick that definition. That's just what I would do if I was going into battle, and the smith asked me what principles he should construct my armour on.

So you can't without sacrificing defense or mobility or something? I know decorative parts tend to in general, but still... eh.

[gkathellar]

Well, in a lot of fight situations, a crappy breastplate is still probably better than none. But it would perform badly compared to more practical designs.

A shaped chest-protector isn't completely ridiculous, to be clear - they're worn in fencing under the jacket and in kyudo over the gi - but those are made from leather or plastic, are not the outer layer in a suit of armor, and are certainly not meant to deflect serious and unpredictable injuries (in fencing it's mostly because breast are softer and more prone to bruising than chest, and in kyudo it's because they might get hit by the bowstring).

If you really want form-fitting armor, very fine mail shirts were sometimes worn (often illegally) by the wealthy in civilian settings.

Anyway, fantasy isn't necessarily improved by realism. Boobplate is generally exploitative and completely implausible, but there's potential reasons why a person might like it as an aesthetic element other than simple titillation. Compromising on realism to emphasize aspects of a character's femininity and sexuality is usually suspect but not intrinsically wrong. But it will always be compromising on realism, and the notion that such an item would ever see use in serious fighting in the real world is indefensible.

It doesn't "negate the entire point." It's still armor.

It's just worse than it would be without the boobs on it. And being less effective at its job just to look sexy puts it on the "chainmail bikini" scale. Not so far down the scale as that, but on it.

Deflecting blows into the middle of your chest actually is kind of worse than just wearing regular clothes. At least those wont typically guide your enemy's weapon into center mass.

Steel is hard to cut or stab through, even if the blow gets channeled into a valley. The force will knock you back more, and maybe do some blunt trauma, but it's better than nothing.

If you said to me, "I'm gonna hit you with this sword, you can wear a boobed out breastplate or your street clothes," I'd take the breastplate.

Good armor > Bad armor > no armor as far as protecting you from sharp things.

Being hit dead center with a baseball bat still has a moderate chance of killing you. The danger is not necessarily the cutting power of the sword.

[Potato_Priest]

A hit that would be deflected into the center of the chest by boob plate is a hit that would still have impacted the side of the chest without it- endangering rather than the sternum, the heart and lungs. I would still take my chances with the boob plate over no armor.

[Mike_G]

But it's better than a cotton sweatshirt is what I'm saying.

It's a bad design. But a badly designed piece of steel is better than no steel at protecting you.

And swords are not baseball bats. The blunt impact is pretty low, the blade is light(ish) and balanced near the hand to be agile, not near the point of impact like a hammer. It relies on the edge or point to do most of the damage.

That's why we can do HEMA with realistic weighted swords with a blunt edge and not die all that often. I wouldn't do HEMA sparring with realistically weighted maces. Because those are just maces.

[LordCdrMilitant]

We're looking for a narrow condition in which a non-lethal strike becomes potentially lethal because of the shape of the armor plate, and I'm not certain that there is such a condition.

An otherwise ineffective strike would continue to be ineffective, and otherwise penetrating strike would continue to be penetrating. The shape doesn't magnify the force of the strike or anything, and a regular plate isn't notably more deflective in shape.

The only real thing I can see would be if the manufacture of the shape compromised the integrity of the material at the joint, which is I think probably a non-factor.



It's silly, sure, to stamp a plate into the shape of breasts. However, I don't believe doing so would relevantly compromise the mechanical protective effects of the armor, and it definitely wouldn't be a "oh, you shouldn't do that if you want to live".

The most compelling reason, besides aesthetics, to not wear a boobplate would be because armor isn't worn against the skin. There are multiple layers of cloth and chainmail armor underneath the outer plate, and underneath all of that I'm not convinced that my breasts would be well enough defined to place a shaped plate over.

Allow me to be pedantic. [Granted, just fill in the retroactive forms.] Thank you!
Whenever you wear armour, even if it somehow did not affect mobility at all, it would sometimes catch things that would not have touched you without it - simply because it enlarges the target box that is you. Certain kinds of boob plate would be particularly egregious about this.


I would still take my chances with the boob plate over no armor.
Me too. And I don't think anyone in this thread is saying they wouldn't, outside of some pretty specific circumstances. But I wouldn't make boob plate for combat purposes if I had a choice. Fill the gap between the boobs instead. It's quicker and easier to do, and makes stronger armour that is easier to maintain. Make something for parade purposes you can put over it, made of textile, if you absolutely must have boobage.

I've got a fun challenge for the thread. I'm playing a warlock with a celestial pact and flavoring her as a magical girl, a la Sailor Moon or Madoka Magica. Her fully-fledged magical girl outfit won't kick until 2nd level, when she gets Mask of Many Faces. Until then, she's stuck as a human healer-acolyte with leather armor and a crossbow. After 2nd level, I'm planning for her to be a moon-themed magical girl with cold/radiant spells and illusions. I'm interested to see what art out there could apply to her in both her "civilian clothes" and her magical outfit.

The original whoever created it is 1,000% better than my clone stamped hack but I felt a calmer version was best for my group.

Original on the right. Be kind about my photoshop skills please.

I have a bit of a specific request--

Male, human or half-elf looking, with some sort of leaf or branch pattern (like a tattoo) featuring prominently over part of their face. Casting some sort of nature magic is a plus.

I've got a fun challenge for the thread. I'm playing a warlock with a celestial pact and flavoring her as a magical girl, a la Sailor Moon or Madoka Magica. Her fully-fledged magical girl outfit won't kick until 2nd level, when she gets Mask of Many Faces. Until then, she's stuck as a human healer-acolyte with leather armor and a crossbow. After 2nd level, I'm planning for her to be a moon-themed magical girl with cold/radiant spells and illusions. I'm interested to see what art out there could apply to her in both her "civilian clothes" and her magical outfit.

Does it matter how large the crossbow is?

That seems like a poor trigger mechanism for the cat. Is the intent that you have to pick the cat up and point it in the right direction to shoot?

Also, the cat's going to have to get human assistance to reload.

That's pretty awesome. Also, it's a cat's dream come true. Finally it has the secret of the humans' loud noise death ray.

Maybe its a psychic cat. It can telekinetically reload and press the trigger.

Can I have some help with a character portrait? I need a picture of someone who is equally at home digging through accounts and interrogating syndicate members about where loaned money has gone, possibly after knocking them unconscious with a quarterstaff.
Some magic is fine, nothing major or offensive, a D&D Prestidigitation or Mage Hand is the limit.
Quarterstaff would be nice, but not needed
1880s Chicago is the setting
Suit or coat would be nice.
Human Male.
Thank you for your time and effort.

But it's better than a cotton sweatshirt is what I'm saying.

It's a bad design. But a badly designed piece of steel is better than no steel at protecting you.

And swords are not baseball bats. The blunt impact is pretty low, the blade is light(ish) and balanced near the hand to be agile, not near the point of impact like a hammer. It relies on the edge or point to do most of the damage.

There's also the matter of how swords are a lot more flexible, in terms of a stab.

There is a dearth of art of FlaK guns and missiles swatting dragons from the sky. I like to feature VT-fused quick-firing air-defense weapons mounted on castle towers and city walls in my D&D games; to explain why the kingdom isn't perpetually threatened by dragon raids, and why dragons live in mountain caves instead of the flaming ruins of cities and farms.

Variable Time

[LordCdrMilitant]

VT? What's VT, precioussss?

It stands for "Variable Time", which is a code word used to refer to proximity fuses.

Hitting fast moving aircraft with antitaircraft fire is very hard. Most AA was [and to some degree still is], conducted by firing lots of shells very quickly in the general direction of a flyer. However, this isn't very efficient, and a lot of small-caliber AA fire also isn't very lethal.

Heavy AA guns, like the 8.8cm FlaK gun, were much more destructive. They didn't need to score a direct hit; since the shells exploded, a near miss could still be lethal. The question is, how do you get the shell to explode near the target. At the beginning of WWII, this was accomplished by having rangefinders determine the altitude and bearing of the aircraft, and setting a altitude or time fuse to explode when the shell arrived at the height the airplane was flying. However, if the airplane was maneuvering, or your rangefinding was slightly off, your shells would explode too early or too late, and not threaten the plane. Late in the war, the allies invented a proximity fuse for the 5" DP guns, codenamed "Variable Time" fuses to hide their nature from Axis spies, which didn't need to predict how high the plane was. They had a miniature radar set that would tell the shell when the plane was close so it could explode. This increased the lethal area pretty drastically, reduced the rounds-per-kill by like half, and was generally a massive boost for allied AA.

The majority of kills was still accomplished via more dakka, but the VT fuses were a major breakthrough in AA warfare.



I imagine that this effect can be fairly easily accomplished with D&D magic; by enchanting a shell or bolt with a detection spell linked to whatever creates the explosion; since both detection and explosion magics are widely available [and at fairly low level]. Something salvoing large volumes of such projectiles into the sky should be reasonably sufficient to deter all but the most determined of dragon/airship/flying nasty assault, especially considering that most artillery options would fairly easily outrage most retalitory magic options.

There fundamentally must be some kind of anti-monster magic/technology mix reasonably available to kingdoms and cities for society to exist in a world where a random flying sky-lizard could swoop in and burn your wheat fields on tuesday. I chose to feature heavy defensive emplacements protecting cities, because I like artillery and have faith in engineering to overcome natural challenges. Theoretically, a dedicated rapid-response dragonslayer corps, or preemptive measures like hunting them down and killing them before they can grow, etc. could also serve to secure the cities and the countryside against monster threat.

*slaps own head*... I really should have recognised that. Spent enough time on military history, and I knew perfectly well about the introduction of proximity fuses, just had forgotten the codename. Thanks!

That's why we can do HEMA with realistic weighted swords with a blunt edge and not die all that often. I wouldn't do HEMA sparring with realistically weighted maces. Because those are just maces.

Well, yeah, that's the thing--you don't bash away at plate armor with a sword. Ideally, if you're fighting an opponent wearing plate, you want to use a mace or war hammer or the like, not a sword. If you do have to use a sword to fight a plate armor-wearing opponent, you try to get the point of your blade into one of the gaps in the armor, not bash it against the plates (which is just a good way to damage the edge of your blade).

Yeah. I know.

This was in response to somebody a million pages back who said that boob plate armor was worse than no armor at all, specifically referencing swords in the previous post.

To clarify, a piece of badly shaped but hardened steel is better to have on when hit by any pre-gunpowder weapon than no armor. Not as good as properly shaped piece of steel, but better than linen.

There will come a day when a reply on the internet does not focus on the least relevant detail of a lengthy post...

BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!!!!!

Actually, depending on the sword and quality of the plate, that's exactly what you would do. Beating somebody with a sword isn't great for the sword, but they still have mass, and will still disfigure the armor similar to an axe or mace if you hit them hard enough. It wasn't ideal, but penetrating plate was perfectly possible with a sword, if harder.

It wasn't ideal, but penetrating plate was perfectly possible with a sword, if harder.

Good plate (hell, good mail) will rarely, if ever, deform under the kind of weight you can put behind any slashing weapon lighter than a pole axe. We can see this reflected in how period European fighting systems dealt with armor - usually a combination of half-swording (a technique where one hand grasps the sword halfway up the blade, allowing for powerful and precise thrusts at extremely close range), so called “murder strokes” (blows delivered with the pommel or studs on the guard, sometimes while holding the sword by the blade like a long mace or warhammer), and wrestling (usually with the intent of immobilizing the opponent for a killing blow through the gaps in the armor). Similar doctrines can be found in surviving battlefield martial arts from Japan, where armor was slightly less robust - swordfighters were trained to attack the gaps found at an armored opponent’s joints.

Armor piercing weapons work by focusing a lot of energy in a small area, either by accelerating a heavy object around a pivot (maces), by presenting an extremely small striking point with strong mechanical support (estocs), or both (warhammers). Slashing weapons simply do not work these ways (although many can approximate the second on the thrust), instead distributing energy along a line.

Preferably in the act of using their powers, maybe punching through a solid object, partially transforming them self or wreathing them self in some sort of energy. I'd appreciate it if someone could find this for me.

You know what irks me the most in fantasy armor, more than chainmail bikini?

helmets with ear holes.

http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w780/qsF4J3sUqa7AX9QtaaCSID0cFpV.jpg

[Lord Raziere]

Well technically as warfare progressed, helms actually opened up more and more to allow better hearing and peripheral vision so that people can hear and obey orders better in the middle of battle, so ear holes are not entirely a bad choice, especially since the best thing for any ranged combatant is aim for center of mass rather than some ear.

Well technically as warfare progressed, helms actually opened up more and more to allow better hearing and peripheral vision so that people can hear and obey orders better in the middle of battle, so ear holes are not entirely a bad choice, especially since the best thing for any ranged combatant is aim for center of mass rather than some ear.


For Agrippa:

My first thought on looking at those is "do their ears get cut off if the helmet is jostled?"

I'm sorry Razire and Randuir, but those aren't the kinds of images I'm looking for. What I am looking for more along the lines of a character who uses supernatural/superhuman powers to enhance his/her own physical prowess. Something along the lines of turning a limb into a weapon or or feats of superhuman strength and agility.

Wow, I'm beginning to understand why you came here in the first place. With the exception of a couple of drawings of the Sandman from spiderman (I think) nothing came up, no matter what search terms I used. Maybe someone else has more luck.

Hmm... well, searching for [Graft Weapon d&d](minus brackets) does have people with weapon limbs; would that work? Graft Weapon is a Psychic Warrior power in the first place...

I believe so but easily could be Half elf or such. Given there is nothing to compare to you could even swing for Halfling

How can you tell that's scifi? Just looks like a woman in armor to me.

[hymer]

How can you tell that's scifi? Just looks like a woman in armor to me.
For me it's the collar. It looks like a pressure suit collar you can attach a (partially) see-through headpiece to. But the window in the background is also pretty modern-looking.

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/ce58698e-31f9-4dc9-abc1-9f1727721080/daptzul-897bb8bc-8c37-4cf6-93b2-fe56728d92a5.jpg

[DeTess]

How can you tell that's scifi? Just looks like a woman in armor to me.

As has been said, the color is reminiscent of something for a suit that can be made airtight. Also, the white and red stripe on the arm marks her as an N7 marine from the Mass Effect universe.

Edit:and there's also the rubbery/cable stuff below the collar.

[Max_Killjoy]

How can you tell that's scifi? Just looks like a woman in armor to me.

First, in general it looks like a space suit.

Second, because that shape and the color scheme scream "Mass Effect".

So here is what I'd like for Christmas: Hoplite-inspired amazons. I get a little bloated with too much cheese, so if we can hold that down, that would be great. :smallwink:



Sometimes, the Greeks also showed them with clothing inspired by hoplites. The one on the right is Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons:

https://i.ibb.co/hWYvCJh/iliade.jpg

She's almost dressed like a hoplite (she has all of the basic pieces except shin armour), albeit with exotic elements, like a leopard skin on her armour.

And we also have Late Medieval Amazons! :D

That sword in the 2nd photo is a pretty cool thing. The rest of it isn't bad either of course. I like the sword in particular though

I have a request, though it may be a little outside the scope of this thread. I need a good wide-shot of a camped army, preferably goblinoids, though any monstrous humanoid army will do. I'm presently running Red Hand of Doom on roll20, and would like the make an impression with the 'wham' scene at the end of the first chapter.

If anyone has anyone familiar with the module has any good art to use, I definitely wouldn't say no to anything put forward.

Firstly, I found this image of a camp that could be such an army, and it is indeed titled "Orc war camp":

Also, these are pictures (from Lord of the Rings) of Orc armies on the march, rather than encamped, but they could still fit your needs:

Rules of the forums say no using art without the permission of its owner, which extends to this thread. Beyond that, sometimes people will request to find specific kinds of images, and the rest are pretty much whatever the poster finds cool enough to post. If somebody references taxes, theyre joking. You aren't actually required to post images to participate.

People have a bad habit of doing that to images, sadly. I'm all for images being out there, but artists should get credit at least.

[ImperiousLeader]

So, a small challenge. I'm looking for spellcasters (ideally cute males, but not necessarily), that are casting spells that aren't the typical blasting spells. Especially Illusion, Divination, Abjuration and Transmutation spells.

Also, any cool Artificers? Kinda looking for inspiration for the new UA Artificer.

Anyone have a good picture of a pulp or noir style detective? Preferably ex-detective, looking rather worn out in a ratty suit. Sitting at a bar would be acceptable. I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding pictures like that.

I did, but very little with an appropriate level of scruffiness. Or even at a bar for that matter, like the first one you posted.

Have you looked at the images for John Constantine? There is a lot of real life images of Matt Ryan (actor portraying the role in the Arrowverse), and some similar artwork that seems like it could do in a pinch.

I'm looking for art of a female android (a gynoid, if you will) monk or martial artist, and all the cyberpunk art collections I've looked at are extremely sexualized, so let's not have anything like that. Bonus points if she dresses flashy.

First thing I thought of was the cover for the Novafist character class for Starfinder, but can't find a clean copy of the picture.

My first thought is Alita Battle Angel, althought that might be too well-known to use as character art?
Here's a few images of her I pulled off Google though.

Considering the manga she's from has been running since the 90s, you can almost certainly find something if she fits your prerequisites.

... actually, you might just want to look into art from that series. There's a lot of female cyborg kung fu masters in it.

I need pictures like these, especially of a female who matches the male a bit more and who isn't eating an arm.

A Player has provided me with a character in his backstory named Violet Starshadow who is going to offer the party an escort quest. Knowing him and the group this just has to be a mix between Admiral Cain and Lori Loughlin's daughter.

If anyone has a not obviously good or evil Warlock version of her:

and maybe a once again not obviously good or evil Dragonborn Sorcerer version of the one on the left:


https://i.ibb.co/drtH52j/2b22186e-b3e1-47bd-87db-31d191e2ecdf-AP-College-Admissions-Bribery-1.jpg

it would help out. Monster and character pics on the tablet have become mandatory.

Ms Loughlin would seem a good choice

Would anyone happen to have some pictures of drow, who are not trying to look mean or evil? I'm actually looking for a female wizard drider, who fell afoul of a helm of opposite alignment. But I guess I can just use a drow and crop the image.

[BladeofObliviom]

Google turned this up. Maybe along the lines of what you're looking for?

I know. Thanks for the contribution! It might be going just a tad far in the civilized direction, given that the PCs meet the drider underground and in isolation. But who knows, if they befriend her and bring her to the surface? :smallbiggrin:

Would it be OK if I asked people to put a note on the spoiler when it's going to have spider stuff in it?

[BladeofObliviom]

I can't promise that I or anyone else will remember to do this, but it's a reasonable request for sure.

[Spore]

Anyone got an idea fit for an Asmodean (Pathfinder, Cheliax so pentagram iconography) Cleric? Human, barrister/lawyer type, elegant moreso than battle ready. Can look brimstoney and sorcery just no heavy armors please. He CAN wear heavy armor but I assume anything heavier than a Chainshirt worn underneath ceremonial robes is not fitting.

[Leon]

Hello. I'm looking for a pics of a robot that turns into a shoulder mounted weapon. Preferably some form of rocket launcher. So far, the closest thing I've found is some mech from xenogears, but it doesn`t quite fit what I have in mind.

Is there a good library of free game asset portraits out there? I wouldn't put them in commercial products or anything; my players have accumulated a good number of followers and I'd like to put some little portraits in the doc to make it more appealing/easier to glance at and understand.

[ZeroSpace9000]

Hey all! Another art request, this time for my own personal use. I'm running a module, and I need a shot of a high priest of Tiamat. Needs to be monstrous, but humanoid, a dude is preferable but not required. For reference, I'm running Red Hand of Doom. The reasons I don't want to use the book image of Kul is:
a) I'm rearranging things, and Kharn is the half-dragon, not Kul. Don't feeling like doubling up on that vibe. Also...
b) The stock image from the book features a pair of erinyes flanking Kul. It would be difficult to crop them out, I'd be left with purely a head-shot, and the one time it came up on GIS had a really obnoxious Shutterstock watermark.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

And presumably also the Adeptus Mechanicus. They've got a lot more cybernetics than just an eye, and the servitors tend to have at least some part of a fleshy face left.

Something in the style of Cyborg would be nice, the character himself is a bit too easily recognizable.

AdMech is very much the aesthetic I want, as the character is a nobleman closely allied to Mars but not part of the Mechanicus itself. But all the Mechanicus art I can find has their iconic red robes, which are a symbol of the tech priesthood. So again, similar but too recognizable to use directly.

[Vknight]

Gnomes are surprisingly hard to find art for and so at times is the case for halflings

In part because some GM's are dumb and cannot differentiate the two and/or combine them

And in part because of poor representation because way too many players view playing as a small race as too great a disadvantage unless they get to be really silly.
