I have a bit of an odd request. I'm looking for an elf lady in field gear or civilian clothing that isn't fancy dresses, fantasy setting, optionally with a gun, who doesn't have her tits out. I've been drawing up a character concept of an elf architect or military engineer (in a sense of dealing with fortifications and sieges). In exchange, I've been trying to reconstruct my fantasy art folder and I don't believe I've seen this one here.

Looking for a couple things that I've struggled to find in the past, and someone in this thread always seems to have some weird gems at the ready. 1) Low-level female fighter types from more common backgrounds. Not knights or squires in full plate, not elf princesses with immaculate hair and jeweled weapons, not some fancy outfit with all sorts of bespoke bullshit. Like a farmgirl who ran off and found some sort of beat-up old sword and board and and some leather armor that got pieced together. So more like these  2) Scholars, scribes, or librarians of any monster races. Trying to avoid the look that's just "here's a goblin wizard with a book!" and find something that reads as being a bit more academic.

Got this commission done of a comfy fantasy peasant farmer. All the artwork I found of peasant farmers were shoeless mudcore peasants with missing teeth. Figured I’d get this artwork done for people who want to run more comfy fantasy settings like myself.

Yeah peasants didn't dress in sack cloth and rags unless they had a really harsh lord, and really harsh lords tended to get overthrown eventually or lose battles and get demoted. Yet people always think peasants lived absolutely poo poo lives.

Breugel the Elder's contemporary paintings of peasants I think provide pretty good idea of early modern peasant clothes, at least for the low countries:

Reminds me of this:  When I was growing up all the medieval books and cartoons I watched as a kid depicted the middle ages as vibrant and colorful. Even the medieval-type illustrations in Where's Waldo were bright and colorful.

That's because it was bright and colorful. Medieval people had access to dyes, some of them hand made, others shipped by merchant, and they had soaps that would remove most grease stains, if with a bit of effort. People also didn't just roll around in the muck and get dirt on everything.

What they didn't have were permanent dyes in some colours. Some specific dyes, such as royal or Tyrian purple (made from murex, a kind of sea snail) and crimson (made from kermes insect eggs - they laid them on oak - or slightly later carminic acid, usually retrieved from a different bug native to America, blanking on its name but Spain made a lot of money off carmine) were extremely expensive, because they are made from something difficult to harvest, did not fade and had brilliant colouring. Others, like true indigo, just didn't grow in Europe; they used woad for that shade instead, which comes out the same colour but is less consistent and fades/washes out faster. So yeah, you wouldn't see those specific hues, but they are very specific: reds and to a lesser extent purples were available, just not that red or purple unless you were rich. But dye in general? Everywhere. People like colours, as it turns out. As for the mud... eh. There was definitely more of it in towns and cities (and horse poo poo anywhere there were horses) but it wouldn't be slathered over everything, no.

trapstar posted:Reminds me of this: I'm dying to read the eventual art history thesis on this. I remember it being a thing in video games around when Gears of War was popular that grey & brown are "realistic" in a way that green, red, blue, etc are not, as if the only way to produce grass was digital. It's patently absurd, but somehow seemed to be accepted not just in video games but in movies, and I'm really really curious to understand where and how that came about. Like does it have some tie-in with the GWOT and how art about GWOT always portrays the middle east as just brown and the linkage in American media between the victims of the GWOT and the past? There's a lot going on here and, as anybody with even the barest understanding of history can point out, utterly ludicrous. The torches are a particularly funny touch. There's a part of my brain that wants to blame specifically DnD for making torches too cheap and effective, but it's so funny that art that is medieval adjacent has people using torches just for everything. Maybe something to do with British English using "torch" to mean flashlight?

I'd be very surprised if there aren't already a few relevant grad theses. You'll just be hard-pressed to find them, because they'll have titles like "Cum primes deit sun cors descrivre: Digital hermeneutics and the Norse shitfarmer 800-950"

A few books on the history of colors (not super academic, but informed) posit it is due to the influence of certain strains of Christianity, where bright colors were associated with 'sinfulness', which had knock-on effects for all of Western oriented media through the centuries.

In the 2000-2005 time frame, games were Extremely Gray and Brown to a comical degree partially because it was an easy way to conceal how low-res your textures were.

Bright colors are also just artistically more challenging. You can't really go aggressively wrong with extremely drab colors - just aggressively boring - whereas there's a lot of subtlety to what makes brighter colors work, or not work. I think people have a tendency to default to greybrown because it's easy. Don't need no color theory if you've got no color.

I think people have a tendency to default to greybrown because it's easy. They also don't reflect that much light so it was easier to render graphics that way without good light baking. The light they did reflect also didn't influence local color that much either. Oddly enough DICE back then found a solution for realistic graphics that only worked with Super saturated bright colors. Which is why Mirror's Edge looked the way it did. Eventually people found a catch all solution and that is why games started having a range of color again *Insert the more you know gif*

Anyone have any good examples of fantasy or sci-fi art that is clearly just the artist's nerdy friends being drawn as heroes? I remember this being a big thing with the covers of fantasy RPG modules and 80s sci-fi covers but am having a little trouble finding them.

Tim Bradstreet did this as well, in between using still photos and such, for his gaming portfolio. I am pretty sure the physical trainer friend he used as the model for the Punisher when he was doing those covers for Marvel was also the same person who was the basis the Tir Tairngire special forces operator Blackwing in Shadowrun 1st and 2nd editions.
