Booooo! They're all back street boys >:(

RedGuard

They're all very pretty.


.....boo. :P

Kenji

Eww,

Not enough dirty burly guys covered in scars

Koson

Decipere made by Nathie is really good, and there are a few other amazing portraits in his deviantART gallery, I'd definitely use some of them for my PCs. It's copyrighted work however...

Too girly

Zinodin

Well well well, Lady Rhian.

You like pretty boys, but you don't like guys looking at busty women? :P Oh the irony! You're soooo busted

Well, allow me to pass judgement on male gender characters I won't romance!

*Squeeky voice* They're too boy'ish. They need too look a little tougher! How can you like such filth, you filthy girl!? And bla bla I'm just messing around by the way.

Kharador

gay portraits...

Xzar

I will award a like to anyone, who notifies me about female painter on sites such as deviantart, who is actually able, and good at drawing brutal, scheming or creepy-looking males. Like Edwin, Montaron or Eldoth in BG1.

Because everyone I know as of now, only draw generic Neutral Good cute Haer'Dalises in different attires.

@Xzar http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/248/9/f/9fcaf99dcdf3c9ffef1f656c69bbd726-d2y2b29.jpg fits what you want?

Xzar

@Koson

No, this is a cute vampire-esque portrait. No negative emotions on the face, except for a bit of boredom.

@LadyRhian, you are a woman after my own heart. If you've read my posts, you know I'm constantly complaining about the male portraits. It's nice to see some good-looking fantasy men for a change!

If the straight boys get to play games all the time with fashion-model women whose breasts are about to burst out of their bikini armor, then why shouldn't us girls and gay guys get to play with Men's Workout models who have huge muscles, sleeveless armor with v-necks, and tight codpieces?

Actually you should get it and frequently do. It is for some reason much more overlooked than male fanservice
That's why I don't buy into all the discussions complaining about it - it's hypocritical. In a fantasy game, people might want to play attractive looking characters - others need to get over it.

I have to agree, even though I'm a girl these portraits are not my cup of tea, the guys are too polished and inexpressive, they make me want to punch them in the face XD
(and then cast invisibility, since I'd do 1 or 2 points of damage, I'm not strong)

@LadyRhian
Ha, some of those might get me to enjoy playing a male char!

GrandeC

I think the ones from Nathie are great! Thank you for sharing.

Bjjorick

most look lord of the rings-ish.

i can never stay awake through more then 30 mins of any of the movies, and never got into the books, so i'm deffinately not a fan.

If you've got low strength don't punch in the face; backstab.

Kortok

Very easy to tell OP is a woman by looking at those pics

That's deviantArt in general.

She's linking to the artist's page, not claiming the work as her own. She's not uploading the photos to her own page.

I would hope the artist notices a couple extra hits and thinks it's cool a bunch of nerds want to use his/her pictures in a fantasy RPG.

Kamigoroshi

Timeless elegance.

LadyRhian

@Kortok Yeah, they focus on the face rather than boobs. You can also tell a female artist the same way!

You are not ready for women artists who do sexy...

And another one by Nathie- more modern day than fantasy, but still hot: http://nathie.deviantart.com/art/Endres-Portrait-301422136

Jean_Luc

I'm not sure if I approve of this objectivization of men Rhian. We can't possibly live up to this pre-constructed image of silk-faced Johnny Depp look-a-likes you're propagating.

There's more to us than chiseled abs and roguish facial hair. More I say!

Koson

@Kamigoroshi Arcanum for the win!

LadyRhian

Welcome to my world, Jean-Luc!

Well I like this one, more expressive than the last ones (and surely hot)
