Ha Ha....wow...each one of those artists "curves" up the females somethin crazy. Are they super heroes or pronstars? Is there a difference? Discuss.

There's a boundary between expressing yourself and purposely draw perverted. Through the armor thread, Djinn Effer has claimed "she" is a girl. Now... she likes armor that show female flesh to the max and perverted drawings....
Does that sound like a girl to you? Or an internet guy pretending to be a girl?
Discuss.

Before this thread goes OT...

I only just found that site recently; it lists some comic pros (like Ed Benes) and some unknowns. They all seem to have practiced superheroine pinups; perhaps their agent isn't concerned with showing subject variety.

Customers typically know their favorite character down to the minutia, so there are risks involved in artistic liberty. If an artist pushes the design "off-model", chances are something will be vetoed. In this case, the buyer noticed the outfit and hairstyle changes...I probably would've let that fly as well, but not the rendering of the left leg and the chintzy sword.

In short, if you want to get the most out of your money from those guys, ask for a well-endowed superheroine.

You should probably spend time around girls before making posts like this.

Sounds like somebody missed snack time.

I think it's just their agent being aware of what most of the target audience wants. If you look at what comic art collectors usually gets, it's sexy superheroines. I'm pretty sure the artists on that site are capable of drawing pictures with other themes as well.

And regarding the change of armour and hair, that "blame" should be put on me. I did request the armour to be rather different from what she wears ingame and I had some specific ideas. The only bad thing is that Renato accidentally ended up using the wrong reference picture for the armour (it was originally supposed to be based on 15k kurzick, not courtly). I immediately spotted that when I got the first sketch, but since it looked really good anyway I didn't request to "fix" it.

The same mistake happened with the hair, although that's something I told him to fix. And I didn't want the hair to look exactly like it is ingame, so I requested some additional changes for it.

I don't think anyone should worry about the artist taking extreme artistic liberty if anyone requests a commission from that site. Renato stayed very true to my commission requests, and even though there were a few misunderstandments they could very easily be fixed when I got the first basic sketch.

O yes, girls are the perverted ones, not the guys.
What am I thinking, you guys are completely right.
