I'm attempting to find the artist of the current pic used for Deirdra and contact them. I was told that the artist does not approve of having their art used, which is actually how/why I found this FFH (which seems weird to say... 'Yeah, I found about the Civ modding community through a thread about art thief on a watercolor board'). But that's a case of 'he said/she said'- someone who 'knows' the artist rather then the artist themselves. If the artist is who I believe they are, I believe they did other art in a similar style to the one used. They may have done one of a girl that might work better then the guy art being used, if they're cool with having art used. Although you guys seem pretty attached to the current art...
Ahem, it should be noted that as of right now there are 36 who agree with devs and 21 who like pie.
-2axes... WTH?!? who would battle seriously with 2 axes save some Berserkir ? 2blades can sometime be understandable, but 2 axes is not believable.
.
Depends on the size of the axe. In the middle ages, it was fairly common to duel-wield hatchets.
I disagree : see the original post :@Calavente: that was a pic for Sheelba.
that comment "I like the (...) of Deidra but I like this one too :... " + " fits the wind mana affinity (as in... Austrin)" clearly shows that that pic was intended for Deidra.O.K. ... back to deidra... sheelba can remain how "she" is, otherwise open a new thread. I liked the "androgyn" pic of deidra, but I like this one too:
http://fantasyartdesign.com/free-wallpapers/digital-art.php?i_i=1131&u_i=1023&count=1
bit more agressive, 100% women, no pants, and nice background... kind of fits to the wind mana affinity.
P.S.: I don't know how to show graphics, pics, etc.copy-paste doesn't work...
I understand your statement but look at the size of the axes .... not made for double wielding :when using those you'll need a full body movement... thus you can't really alternate from one to the other + can't use the second for protection, a small blade or buclar would be better.Depends on the size of the axe. In the middle ages, it was fairly common to duel-wield hatchets.
If an image is posted by the artist to a free public site like deviantart or anything similar, then anyone can take that image and do as they please with it as long as they aren't profiting from it. The artist's consent is given when they essentially give the image away to the public.
Being the cynic that I am, there is no "powerful women" or "weak men" explanation, men just enjoy it when women are half-naked. Especially if that woman is pretty.
@Tschuggi In this mod the devs don't want the stereotypical "chainmail bikini" fantasy woman; they want the female leader wearing things they actually would in reality.
Have you even read deviantart's copyright policy (http://about.deviantart.com/policy/copyright/
By law, any artist who finds their art being used in something like this can bring the case to civil court as a copyright violation and sue.
... and about 46 (at the time) who wanted a new picture. So changing the picture is the most popular option but the developers can do as they please regardless. What was your point?
If "no" and "pie" are put together, they surpass "yes". Indifference could be an indication of present portraits acceptable condition that need not to change.
What's your opinion?I'll upload the three appropriate images I had lying around. Will see if I can find something more later. To bad she's not an elf. Fantasy artists just love drawing elven females.

that one was posted on the mahalla thread...
and IMO she looks like a :
-tough enough to be a lone wanderer,
-clearly female,
-good looking (that's always good to have something beautiful to look at)
-CLOTHED !
-with a .. Cloak .. as a true wanderer.What's your opinion?
well, weapons look elvish... but the girl clearly is not
Are you sure...? Seen the female svartalfar leader? And hey... isn't it "ironic"I took the picture which fulfills the most of all Klischees (searched 2 seconds on google for dark female portrait picture with boobs
and the wind was a lucky austrin-fitting incident) and all of you reacted on it... kind of ridicoulos like nearly the whole thread here
com'on, xxx-pages just to discuss the picture of a leader when everybody is waiting for the release... oh man, we really have nothing else to do, everybody is watching the forum for THE moment. And, by the way, everything important was already said on page one and in the poll (also page 1
). I like the "original" picture of Deidra. And I like Bikinis
a lot
And just to mention my question in the post before: I didn't understand IMO. Now I do.
Greez,
Tschuggi
i'd just like to point out
