I love this picture - the one on the left has that look of "My armor protects me!" while the one on the right is scarred up and on the verge of tears because they don't make armor in her size, and the one in the middle is just like "Hey you remember that boss that tried to hit me once. ONCE!"

Perhaps tying in with the above, I want old folks. This may be crazy specific but I want old folks where it's played at least relatively straight and they are just old - not ancient zombiesque monsters.
The best source for Cool Old Adventurers is, without a doubt, Matataku. About half of it's fanart, but all of it's awesome.

These last few pages have been too fit. I want to see some fat heroes. Or villains! No random villagers, though. Anyone who looks more accustomed to violence than hunger. Stout warriors whose size is one of their greatest weapons, endomorphic wizards who think exercise is for muggles, veterans coming out of retirement after a few too many years of the easy life, decadent schemers whose gluttony for power is rivaled by their actual gluttony, or even just regular old adventurers with an unglamorous body type. Here's a few.

And while they don't fit the muscles requirement, Monster Hunter does the big weapon part pretty well, especially with the hammer-type weapons

That's Falstaff and His Page, by Adolf Schrödter, 1841. But historical genre paintings like this make for some good modrons. Check out this tag for instance:


Knight On Horseback, Albrecht Dürer, 1498


St. George On Foot, Albrecht Dürer, 1502 (engraving)


A Heroine Florine of Burgundy, Gustave Dore, 1877 (lithograph)


An Enemy of the Crusaders, Gustave Dore


A Blackfeet Warrior on Horseback, Karl Bodmer, 1833


Guard, Jean-Léon Gérôme


Arnaut Officer, Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1857


A Bashi-Bazouk and his Dog, Jean-Léon Gérôme


Kyrgyz, Vasily Vereshchagin, 1870


Hero, Victor Vasnetsov


Farinata degli Uberti, Andrea del Castagno, 1450 (fresco)


Portrait of a Knight, Vittore Carpaccio, 1510 (oil)


Warrior Holding a Bow, Utagawa Sadatora


Magician, Costume Design, Alexandre Benois, 1957, for Stravinsky's ballet "Petrushka"


The Sorcerer of Hiva Oa (Marquesan Man in the Red Cape), Paul Gauguin, 1902

Or anything by Konstantin Vasilyev.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

This came up on my wife's tumblr:

I really dig the coats. Honestly, I'd probably wear jackets like that in real life. Is there a technical name for them? Because I see them in, like, Italian duelist-era films or maybe Holy Roman Empire period stuff (like Warhammer Fantasy), but can't think of more specifics.

I believe jackets that stop above the waist like that are cropped and the sleeves with an inner lining exposed like that are slashed sleeves. I don't know if they're combined in a way you can buy.

Those are simply doublets, that are "puffed and slashed". The HRE stuff you are thinking of is inspired by landsknects, and they are good, yes.

Can I get some small rear end halflings? Like skinny wild type people? My campaign doesn't have halflings, instead they are quarterlings. They live in the jungles and are absolutely delish. In fact they are the traditional main course in my world's Thanksgiving-like-holiday.

Just some tiny wild people looking creatures.
