trapstar posted:I’d say her pose indicates confidence. It also wasn’t primarily intended to be cheesecake. OK seriously though, there's no indication of movement at all in that image so why is her leg in that position? That's neither a comfortable nor assertive way to stand. If she's supposed to be runway walking forward then a) lol and b) the dress hems on the floor would not arrayed out in a circle like that.  "Here is my leg" "Uh, thanks. Are we going to fight now?" "Look at how well I shaved it. Also my junk." "Is that a yes?" "This staff is in my hand. It is pointing nowhere. It has no weight and provides no support." "You seem busy. I'm going to leave." "My hand is purple."

yeah anyway I'm already sorry I spent this much words on what is really a nothing burgerRuna posted:I don't even have anything to add to the discussion trapstar prompted, I just think it's cool that someone has the will and the werewithal to support an actual artist in a hobby which is usually awash with AI prompts. Yes. I think it's very good that trapstar has been regularly paying artists to do character art for games.

I think there's a big difference between trapstar coming and and going check out this art, what personality traits does she have, and trapstar coming in and going check out the titties on the BBEG in my game. Reading them the same way is dumb and insinuates a lot of negative poo poo about someone that they may not deserve. Again, horny should not be a crime!

trapstar posted:The reason I made her have a sultry air about her is because that is a general trope when regarding evil sorceresses. It's good to be able to identify a fantasy cliche, but it's better to ask things like "why does this cliche exist" and "how do people react to it" before using it.

I think trapstar's commission posting is cool and good and any discussion it generates is still more engaging than huge wordless image dumps in the modrons thread.

For my FFXIII LP, I was thinking of getting the something awful peeps to do a 3 hour one shot between the penultimate and ultimate video about survivors of the purge trying to complete their focus. Like, an alternate group of survivors that survivor that slaughter and get a seperate focus that helps enable the main character's focus. I think it will be a great way to get the thread involved since they all get to play together at the end. For it, I plan to use Fabula Ultima. There is an upcoming Techno-Fantasy book. I have the playtest materials. This was my plan: I plan to use Technospheres. I will create a Mnemospheres for each Paradigm. They make a character and get three Paradigm Mnemospheres of their choice and 5 additional levels to invest in either their innate classes or their Mnemospheres. We use the Mnemopshere Only alternate version so they still use normal equipment. But it's only one Mnemosphere at a time, but they may swap their equipped Mnemosphere as a free action. Outside of that, I think it should just work. Just a one shot where they wake up in a frozen lake and end up making the means for the main team to escape and turn to crystal realizing their only goal was to make a means for them to escape. Tragic but then in the final LP episodes their implied to be saved with everyone else who is freed from their focus at the end of the game.

I think it's funnier when the sexy cheesecake sorceress is a secret quirky nerd than when she's a quirky nerd sorceress from the start. The juxtaposition is what really pops the character traits.

What personality traits should I give to the artist who I'm commissioning to draw the male BBEG bandit/cult leader in this game of mine that for the purposes of this bad joke exists? Note that I'm also telling the artist that the leader is a shirtless muscletwink with a gigantic bulge. I think this will really accent those personality traits and it won't make any of my players feel weird. Edit: I'm maybe coming across harsher on this than I actually am. If my GM whipped out booby character art they'd had commissioned I would praise them for paying an actual human artist, but then also mock them incessantly but well-meaningly for their out-of-place horniness in the hope that they get the message, and that's the general vibe I'm going for here.

I was onboard at first because I skimmed over the word "commissioned" and thought we were freestyling about some random cheesecake they'd found. That they'd actually commissioned the c-tier wankbait and don't seem to get why and how it ended up c-tier is what's so funny and infuriating.

Yeah I'm of the mind that it's kind of dumb, but more generic and tired as a trope. He's posted way hornier female characters he's commissioned here so it's funny a knockoff Elvira set this off.

Trapstar walks into a saloon and holds up a picture of fantasy art. The piano stops playing. Doors and windows slam closed up and down the street outside. A baby starts crying.

There's nothing really notable about the commission that stands out. It's sorceress in a skimpy outfit number 890,000, except this one is his. Good for you, Trapstar. Haters go fume

trapstar posted:Celira Darkflame, the Evil Sorceress BBEG I had art commissioned for. I'm going to go right back to the start for this one and say first off I do not care that it appears that the arrogant sorceress had a magical bodysculpt. I suspect a lot would. (The face strikes me as being younger than the body, but I'll put that down to the sculpt). But what I want to do is take a look at that picture and say what it tells me about her beyond the fact that she cares a lot about her appearance (that hair alone requires a lot of work or magic, and the dress is a trip hazard). The obvious thing is that she is carefully posed like that. The ends of that dress fall in a circle around her; she is not moving and there is no basic way to get something to drape like that on the floor without some sort of physical/magical adjustment. This is a posed shot, not remotely candid. And she's looking straight at the artist, so we have exactly what is intended in-universe. And based on how she's dressed and how far she's gone out of the way to show how long her leg is it's obviously a glamour/cheesecake shot, which tells us something important about the character; either she wants there to be cheesecake shots of her or she's working for someone who does. Next we look at her pose. The legs are easy. Her weight is mostly on her back foot so she can show off the length of her front leg with the hip-slit and garter to best effect. But it's her right arm that is the one that catches my attention. It's out to the side, the right hand is turned out away from her body, and I think her elbow is further back than the line of her shoulders, in part to keep the magical light from obscuring her body. That's actually a surprisingly uncomfortable pose to hold. And for all the dress and legs are cheesecake the two lights draw the attention away from her body. Should my eyes be on the staff? The light she's making in her right hand? The hip-slit? The plunging neckline? Her violet eyes? Her glowing earrings? And then we get to what you call her arrogant expression and others see as her blank one. I have a third explanation. Boredom, depending on context, can come off as arrogance (they aren't paying attention to you) or blankness (they just aren't paying attention). But boredom in a glamour shot? That says something about the model in the shot and even more about the person taking the shot (including that their eyes aren't on her face). And it certainly isn't an expression of someone who is an engaged BBEG who is having a glamour shot of them taken because they want to look good. I therefore think that that isn't Celira Darkflame, BBEG but Miss Celira Darkflame shortly before deciding to become Celira Darkflame, BBEG. And she keeps that picture around as inspiration.

I'm really regretting that I didn't have the budget to do my original plan for my Exalted bestiaries, which was to have every single monster illustrated as some kind of hot shirtless guy with bulging pecs, in the same way that a certain style of D&D design requires every monster to be an attractive woman. Only, gay.

That they'd actually commissioned the c-tier wankbait and don't seem to get why and how it ended up c-tier is what's so funny and infuriating. I will summarize the things someone I've commissioned for a couple of characters asks for: quote:Basic info: Name, age, personality summary, key physical characteristics ("short black hair," etc.); a summary of background can help but should not be prolix. A loose example: quote:Grok McNally is an orc superintendent in Co-Op City in Waterdeep. Grok generally resembles a Warcraft orc, but his tusks have been filed flat. He's approaching middle age, bald, dark green skin. He is working-class and is friendly and approachable, despite being incredibly huge and swole.
