Does anyone else get the feeling that this was drawn over a photo of a real person? Or maybe they just used the classic "goon smoking a pipe" as inspiration?

Edit: googling various word combinations to try to find the picture, I tried "nerd with pipe" and :nws:this:nws: showed up as one of the first images. Fortunately it looks photoshopped, because I hope that no one would be that stupid*.

* And yet I am well aware that they are.

Edit2: well ok apparently it's not as similar as I thought:

I want some badass-looking archers. Some people who actually look strong enough to draw a bow, instead of waifish dudes who would never be able to use the ridiculously-humongous bows they're carrying. In return, have a real-life eagle that looks kinda like an owlbear:

I don't mean mega-ripped archers, just ones who aren't stick-thin. Normal looking archers that look cool are good too.

3.5 Dragonborn were transformative (which makes them being called Dragonborn superdumb) but 3.5 Dragonborn didn't even show up till 2006 so 90% of Dragonborn art is 4e-related. And all of them have tits. Annoyingly.

3.5 Dragonborn were called such because they were literally reborn from inside a giant dragon egg. They were basically Dragon-People-Butterflies.

I figured the button broke, either from the non-existent whooping she took or from the (stretching) force from slumping down into her seat. Same reason her shirt buttons are straining.

Or maybe I'm giving the skeevy artist too much credit and he just wanted to flash a lil panty :wink:

Actually the thing that bothers me the most is the glasses: no one takes the time and the trouble to put on boxing gloves and keeps on their drat glasses. "Why yes, by all means punch me in the face and spray glass shards into my eyes!"

No kitchen. Definitely a goon lair.

Fake edit: also an open-top shower probably isn't a great idea when you've got a ton of electronics all of like five feet away.

Edit2: oh my god I just noticed the katana at the top. And it's stowed blade-down.

Aren't 4E Dragonborn explicitly stated to be warm-blooded mammals in their race book, basically making them humanoid pangolins? I know for a fact they're stated as being warm-blooded, but I may be misremembering the mammal part.

Edit: not from the racial book, from here.

I suppose I may just be dense, but how does the trans thing fit in here? When I first read it, it seemed like the parents tried to raise their born-female daughter as a son, but then Shardra started puberty and the parents were kinda bummed that they could no longer raise their daughter as a son. Or was the idea that Shardra was born male and "budding femininity" refers to a less literal 'budding' secondary sex characteristics and more of coming to terms with her female identity kinda thing?

Tolkien borrowed some traits from a culture (the Huns) and filled in the rest with his own ~original content do not steal~. While you can draw parallels between Tolkien orcs and the Huns, they are not 1-for-1 copies of the Huns with a new coat of paint. Tolkien did not take every single stereotype he could find of a culture (like, say, Rastafarians) and then transplant them into literal, inhuman monsters (Warcraft Trolls) with little or no further creative development.

Trawling is to fish with a net or sift through things (like a net full of stuff you fished up). Trolling is different and not used in this sort of context.
