Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
I can't help but noticing, the guy with the giant +3 flaming greatsword seems to have set his own hair ablaze...

There's a frigging STAIRCASE between his legs. Just how big are these guys supposed to be? Nice art though, with flames too.

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
If I hadn't read the thread title, I would have though the female one on the right is some sort of dwarf or gnome, because she has that kind of body proportions. That's Not A Good Thing.
"I had thought - I had been told - that a 'funny' thing is a thing of goodness. It isn't. Not ever is it funny to the person it happens to. Like that sheriff without his pants. The goodness is in the laughing. I grok it is a bravery... and a sharing... against pain and sorrow and defeat."

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Well... Aren't the dwarves descendants of the Titans and Giants? So it sort of makes sense...

I dunno, maybe I'd actually play a dwarf if they looked like that. Originally Posted by Premier

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Well, in 3.5 the Fire Giant was described as having the same proportions as a dwarf. I guess they wanted to keep that in 4E, though here the proportions of the female seem different from the male's. Originally Posted by Premier

Compared to

I like how they're delving a bit more into the giants' elemental origins, unlike how they were just "really big people who live in extreme environments" in 3.5.

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Now those are *proper* D&D giants. Big, mad swarthy viking-looking buggers with their heads on fire, screaming for the blood of the short ones! The titan looks like a furnace that's decided everyone under 20' tall should just be killed for being too annoyingly small by half. Originally Posted by SamTheCleric

Hope the crunch lives up to their artwork. Although, dammit, I might be buying the new MM for the art alone. Roll on the Frost Jotens.Last edited by bosssmiley; 2008-05-13 at 09:31 AM.

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Oooh. Lovely. One of the few things I love about 4E is the art.

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
I really like how Fire Giants are displayed too, it's something that was always missing. But I have to object - or if I've fallen under the influence of nonsexist crusade - why does the female on the right have such disproportionally huge boobs?

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
I just wondering why she's half the size of the middle guy. She's definitely standing in front of him, but she's much smaller. They must have a hight variable height. I wonder if there is a Fire giant template...

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
They're kind of a throwback to 1e fire giants, aren't they? Me like.

I think he's the Fire Titan and they are just Fire Giants. Originally Posted by Project_Mayhem

Which would explain not only why his hair is on fire, but why his mouth looks like he has a Lite-Brite for tonsils. Originally Posted by SamTheCleric

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
That was unexpectedly cool. Even the one in the Cleavage Plate looks badass. The old image was very bland, to say the least.

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Until I registered the staircase behind and figured out the scale, I thought the dude in the middle was the Giant and the two on the sides were Azers...

Burning hair ftw. I wonder how they smell?

Re: [4e] - Art: Fire Giants
Don't care for it. Can't put my finger on a definate reason, but I just don't like it.
Pretty much the same way I haven't liked D&D art for the last 10 years or so, and this is not a knee-jerk reaction to my dislike for the new edition (I didn't like a lot of later 2nd edition art either). I just don't care for it.
Maybe it just looks too much like a comic book to me, or maybe it's just too . . . I don't know . . . "polished"?
I miss the old 1e and 2e fire giants. They were plenty great for me.It doesn't matter what game you're playing as long as you're having fun.
