SciFi and Fantasy Art AD&D Racial/Height Comparison:Male (Warning: NUDITY) by Matt Jarrett

Inspired by James Milligans pic "D&D 3E Racial Height/Weight Comparison:Male" http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/e/d/edward2/racechartmalef1.jpg.html I decided to do the same, and seeing how many people FREAKED OUT with the depictions of nude men I am forced to quote from Mr. Milligans page since he is far more eloquent than I:

Read this before you comment!

Before anyone jumps all over me for posting a pic filled with seven nude male figures, I want to remind you that people post pics of nude females on Elfwood ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME, so step off and relax yourself. There's no 'explicit' depictions of sex, nothing that can be construed as porn, and no erect penises in this pic, so I don't want to hear it. I am in no way violating Rule #9 of the ERB, which reads:

9.Blatant pornography is not tolerated on Elfwood. While the naked form is a beautiful thing, and is accepted in Elfwood, suggestive poses that blatently expose the genetalia in an explicit manner will never be accepted.

That being said I also want to state that I modified some of the average height/weights on some of the player races, specifically the Half Orc. In my campaign world I have orcs being taller and bulkier than humans. Also, I made Halflings more "hobbit"-like, keeping with the spirit of 1st and 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

20 Jan 2010	Elfi	Loading... this is incredibly well-drawn, I’m in awe! Agreement with the discussion of ritual scarring / circumcision... this is quite insightful, much more than expected! either way, awesome work, keep it up.
31 Jan 2010	Abegail	Loading... is nudity is an art? Matt Jarrett replies: "sometimes. Are you implying I’m being pornographic? What irritates me with comments like this is that nudity in drawings/paintings have been around since cavemen drew on walls. I’m sure, Abegail, you would be horrified by touring through classic art museums like the Louvre because nudes are commonplace, especially during the Renassiance era that is universally recognized as being the apex of the fine art period, and they were drawn during a time where it was much more prude than it is now. What I object to is your implication that I am a pornographer by depicting nudity. What I drew is neither gratuitous nor suggestive. If you’re looking for cute little Tinkerbell fairies and unicorns, you’re looking in the wrong gallery. If nudity offends you than I suggest you look at galleries of trees and nature settings, not a fantasy art gallery (which is notorious for nudity and depictions of sexy women and macho men wearing very little clothing). "
23 Mar 2010	Michael A Woods	Loading... why does the halfling always have to be rotund? could be worse tho. as for the actual art involved here. fantastic. and realy its the only way to draw your characters if you intend to put clothing on them unless you use a model, otherwise the clothing will not look right. I’m awed by your skill. Matt Jarrett replies: "Thanks! As to why the halfling is rotund, I intended to be true to the spirit of AD&D 1st edition, where they are essentially Tolkein-esk hobbits. "
14 May 2010	Kurt Le Courtois	Loading... Excellent job on the anatomy. I like how you depicted the different races I find this is more the way I’ve pictured it too. Also, this helps show how huge dwarves are for their height-I’ve never been quite able to picture their size compared to, let’s say, a human, but this really does put that into perspective! Cool!
16 May 2010	Anon.	Loading... i dont ge the work from the skeleton out thing, can someone explain? thank you Matt Jarrett replies: "Some people draw the skeleton of a person first to make sure the proportions are correct, using a fine light pencil. It’s not really the actual skeleton, per se, but the lines of the shoulders, spine, arms, hips and legs, resembling more a stick figure than anything else. Afterwards you add the muscle masses and you get a proportionately more accurate human figure. "
31 May 2010	Aleksandra rose krstic	Loading... ELF IS HOT!
4 Jun 2010	Chelsea L Pennelly	Loading... I must say I’m surprise curtain ones weren’t . . . shall we say hairier. Very nice Matt Jarrett replies: "And get even MORE lewd and obnoxious comments for making them look like 70’s porn stars? No thanks."
4 Aug 2010	Michael J	Loading... Thank god you added "male" on to each species title! Otherwise I would never have guessed that they were indeed male.
18 Aug 2010	Heather hartnett	Loading... Ok having gone to art school male nudity yeah no big deal to me. They have you draw some many nude models male and female you get desensitized to the whole nude taboo. So now let me say the drawings are done with eye for anatomy very well drawn and in my opinion tasteful. Matt Jarrett replies: "Yeah, I sometimes get the feeling that most viewers to my gallery would be horrified and drop their art class immediately the day they first had to draw a nude model. It nevers ceases to amaze me how ignorant the general public at large is regarding art history, specifically how common nudity is in classic art."
4 Sep 2010	Anon.	Loading... why is the half-orc circumcised but all the others are not? Matt Jarrett replies: "Scroll up. I’m not about to repeat myself on this subject anymore."
