Just venting some frustration about dwarves and illustrations...

Nov 14, 2009 13:45:21 I have been looking for a decent picture of a sneaky dwarf assassin for a ghorad'din character for months now. Do you guys know that it is almost impossible to find a good picture of a sneaky dwarf ANYWHERE online? Everyone who draws dwarves draws them as fighters. You would think someone out there would capitlize on the image of a sneaky looking dwarf with something like an axe/dagger or hammer/dagger combo. Something that capitalizes on the flavor of the dwarf (stalky, tough looking, axe/hammer weaponry) and the rogue (leather armor, cloak and hood, random daggers strapped to the body, a dagger in the offhand, something like that). Nothing. I can't find a good illustration of a dwarf of this sort ANYWHERE. Even the illustrations of the ghorad'din in the D&D books are sub par (they look more like warriors than dwarf flavored sneaks). Its ridiculous.

There is one for you if you like.. but I have the same problem with my characters. I look for a gnoll bard.. all i find is savage beasts who wear little or no clothing and carry bigass weapons. Ie.. the stereotypical gnoll.

Nov 14, 2009 19:10:01 Yea. Its not what I am looking for. I want something with either a hammer/buckler, hammer/dagger, axe/dagger, axe/buckler, or hammer or axe with a spiked shield, but dark assassin/rogue style leathers with random daggers strapped about the body. The picture doesn't exist anywhere...

Nov 15, 2009 0:30:13 Sneaky dwarven rogues, drow clerics of pelor, ebon skinned goblins, albino hobgoblins and many other pictures are almost impossible or are impossible to find.

I collect artwork to use in my games. I'v downloaded thousands of pictures and art of everything you can think of. Good luck, its all I can say.
