Even if it weren't problematic this is just awful. Matte black greasepaint is not going to get you the drow look.


He aint black. For comparison the kitty is black, and is clearly much darker than the elf.



Here are the official portraits of the drow cleric from Baldur's Gate. Dunking yourself in coal is never gonna make you into a pretty drow lady.

I remember my ex- bought a bunch of Forgotten Realms books in the cover art he was depicted as being brown, not lavender/gray. It was the Spaniard edition, re-printed for Latin America, so I dunno if it was official or what.

And the coal black face thing I believe is from old D&D stuff?

It is from the classic story Coal Bl'ack & The Seven Duergars.

Neverwinter nights (the original game) makes all the drow coal black. Though I think you might be able to pick slate grey.

Honestly wondering how many people who don't know who Drizzt is will think it's a knock-off Geralt costume.

I can get why they went with him alongside the Dungeon Master (big enough that the hard-core fans will remember him and pay fat nostalgia bucks, obscure enough that they can get the license for cheap), but it is a very odd choice in general.

Considering how big the drow are into magic, this makes for a far better explanation for their skin colour.

In the first edition they were black. By second edition they had realized a race of black black people was incredibly hard to portray artistically. Like a black cat that in many photographs just looks like a pair of eyes looking out of a dark void.

An ashy gray , purple or blue makes it easier to show facial features while still looking distinct from surface races.

There's a wide range of skin colors you can pick for your character, but the NPCs are mostly slate blue-black.

De Wallen is full of historical buildings, and the city council simply wouldn't allow such filth there. This whorehouse is tacky and doesn't fit the style of the red-light district at all. At least it's the Czech Budweiser, I suppose.

Now, I'm not an expert, but if I had to guess, judging by the blocky architecture, this building belongs on Duisburg's Vulkanstraße, where standards of city planning are rapidly deteriorating. Or so I've heard.

Went down an interesting rabbit hole looking for that. Including learning there's a Scottish hard rock band simply called Gun, and people have put together instruments by welding various guns together.

All I did was search for what instrument does he play the gun on Google Images, and got the image right away...

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Sometimes the trick with google is phrasing something in the most computer-illiterate way you can think of and it'll get you exactly what you want.

That's what eventually got me there, yeah, I just needed to refine my terms twice until I actually found the phrasing. Sometimes you find more interesting wrong results.
