So, uh... that torrent of the previous Hot Modrons thread on the first page. When did the picture of the giant-dicked illithid loving a drow get in there?

You don't understand, it's for my incredibly deep character backstory and... But seriously, whaaaaat? That's cray.

Here's a picture of Yig, Father of Serpents to get us back on track. It's by Faxtar

Also, my next Shadowrun character. It's Baofu from Persona 2, and he is a hacker. And also amazing.

Why is everybody up in arms about shoulder pads?

Shoulderpads, especially those long bulky ones, like the ones pictured in Natural Selection 2, restrict arm movement in a really crucial way, so the military generally doesn't bother with those kinds. Some small, oval shaped ones are used, sometimes, in police operations and the like, but I've never heard of the military using them ever. They just aren't that useful.

Unless you're in a videogame, where they lend weight to the silhouette and also because WoW and GW Space Marines pretty much made oversized shoulderpads mandatory. It's awful and samey and there's a growing backlash against it.

There's this picture from the online card game Hex: Shards of Fate. It's of this society of beings called the Void society, or something.

These are from the SMT and Persona games, though I can't get more specific than that.

I have a strange request. I'm looking for NPC ideas. So, what I want is those character images you never get a chance to post. The ones that don't really fit any theme, or fit ones that never really come up.

Concept art of Vile from Megaman X, and well as a Swiss Maid from an artist called Weremole on Deviantart, who does some NSFW stuff, so be warned

Next are a couple of pieces from unknown artists, and if anyone could chime in with credit, I'd be grateful

Also, this guy is the perfect minion. Large, enthusiastic, and not terribly bright. Artist unknown

And finally, an illustration of all 72 demons from the Lesser Key of Solomon. Warning, it's kinda enormous. Artist unknown

Actually, going back, Weremole's Deviantart is chock-full of cheesecake of both the male and female variety, and will probably get you fired. Even if you don't currently have a job.

Oh goddammit. I knew one of those was dead simple, I just posted them too fast to double-check the artist.

Edit: He also has some really fun stuff on that page, like this Pinocchio for some Asian trading card game.

A slightly skeevier possibility.

What annoys me is how she has a nosebleed and cracked glasses, with absolutely zero signs of damage otherwise. Those two details just stick out so bad and don't mesh at all with the "anime waifu with boxing gloves" thing the rest of the picture has going on.

Humboldt Squid posted:

Sharp angles are aggressive, it's all about conveying a mood rather than engineering a real mechanical device - it's the same reason a lot of cyberpunk images have big thick tangles of cables everywhere rather than a couple wifi antannae.

Actually, physical wires are still more reliable than wi-fi, if only because the very occasional interference that can slow down wi-fi devices isn't an issue with hard lines. As for cable thickness and number, you are probably right about it being an aesthetic choice.

Apparently, Weapons of the Gods got a video game at one point.

And now, a picture of a man fighting another man with a spatula. Because Wuxia is occasionally silly.

I like Restoration Angel's art. Some people just have a fixation with every limb being visible, even if it warps the poses into odd shapes.

And now for things I think are cool and hope others think are cool too.

The first one is from a porn artist called Kumi Pumi and that weirds me out because it's a totally reasonable picture in a sea of porn.

The second one is from a guy who thinks Gamersgate is a legit critique on games journalism and not just a bunch of internet misogynists ganging up on two random women.

Fist of the North Star is full of those guys, but one of the more visually obvious examples would be Amiba

And I have no idea who this guy is, but I'm reading the Rei Gaiden side story now, so maybe I'll find out soon. (Edit: It's Rima of Alkaid)

BUUUUT, Fist of the North Star was aggressively 80s at times, especially with its character designs
