...OK, so I was bored the other evening. The "Portland Sport's Authority" radio station was wasting another 4+ hours of my evening on the Seattle Mariners, the classical station's offering was not much better, & just about everything else on the air either sounded like it was machine created or there was some right/left wing whacko on up his soapbox spouting inanities (I won't even go into the wasteland that the telly has become, thank god mine mercifully committed suicide a couple years ago).
So I popped in a CD of Debussy piano music, poured a glass of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, and set to work on part of my current campaign. Then for some odd reason the, notion of my main character (& former PC), Leela and the Swimsuit thread popped into my mind. The thought was both disturbing yet amusing. Knocking back a couple three Advil and after working the stiffness from my hands, I then pulled out the old pencil box and a sheet of bristol. After about an hour of so of putting pencil to paper, there she was, Leela the Swimsuit model - wearing a strapless one piece, Gyrojet holster on her hip, testing the water at the old swimming hole with a sign behind her that read "No Grenade Fishing" and one of the estate's rotodrones hovering in the background keeping watch. After setting the picture aside and looking at it for a bit I considered that would be kind of fun to post to the thread if I could find someone with a good scanner & touch up software (it is all in pencil). Then, I thought for a moment, even though the the picture is far from risque, it still may get us into trouble. Though she is 19, Leela has a homemade flaw my GM originally wrote up called "Young Looking" - not the 1pt but the 2pt version. |

If it's not porn, and its not risque, or at least, not the lolita type, go ahead and post a link. Add a disclaimer if you're worried. Or hell, Send myself or eidolon the pic first if you're concerned it could be a problem.

...I'll check with some of my more computer graphics savvy friends this weekend to see if I can get a good scan & put it up on DeviantArt.

If you've got a digital camera with a macro function (most of them do) you can take a picture of the paper. Just make sure to have a good white lightning (natural lightning is ok most of the time) and don't use the flash.
If the lightning is still not good enough, be sure to hold still your camera or, better, put it down somewhere. You won't get the quality you'd get with a scanner but it'd be enough to look at it on the computer. |

On the other hand, I'm hoping to put these together in a "2070 magazine" with possibly a little bit of Shadowtalk, so if you can get a properly scanned version (assuming you want it to be included) then that would be better. Regarding the age of the character... I suspect it probably looks okay. If it's not "porn" and the figure isn't pre-puberty, then the artwork is probably loose enough to look acceptable. I can stick a disclaimer at the start of the edition to state that all fictional characters are over sixteen. -K. |

To make sure, also state that they were willing to pose and gave you the rights to publish the pictures...

Here in Germany age 16 plus parents' permission would suffice to show them topless... |

How do you get parent's permission for a fictional character? Lars |

well, clearly the parents are the artist (and the artist's assistant(s), if any, i suppose).
so the parent's permission part is easy :) |

I just re-read the responses to my comment and had the shocking realisation that people didn't realize I was joking.
For the sake of how people think of me - any statement about the fictional character's fictional ages will be purely for purposes of humorous sarcasm! Could it really be anything else? |

:D Well it was that "only in the US" comment that did it. Made me realise that in the US, it might just be the case that people would want such a disclaimer. (Am in the UK, btw). Anyway, where's this scanned image that's causing so much trouble, KK? |

If she's old enough to be *ahem* developed, then it's impossible to meaningfully argue that she's provably underage.
If she's not, it can't be any worse than the Coppertone Girl. Post the dang pic. ;) |

...still working on getting a clear scan of it, the original was far too light. I am going to need to darken things in quite a bit more. This may take a few days I do have a normal RL job to deal with & the process is slow due to my arthritis. What I might do if either Fistandantilus or Squinky wouldn't mind posting it via Image Shack (since I am not currently a member) would be to email one of them image when it is finished as a jpeg attachment via gmail.
Please PM me with your regularemail address(es) if that is agreeable. [edit] ...didn't expect the "age issue" to become such a lively topic. |

Nice work. But her ears are too long. That's actually a mistake even most professional artists make: The BBB clearly states that, while all metahumans have pointy ears, only elven ears are elongated. To me that means that dwarf, ork and troll ears should look like the elves' ears in the Lord of the Rings movies - general human-like shape with small tips - while elves (and only elves) have ears more like Star Trek's Spock - notably larger/longer than human ears and with a prominent tip. |

Excellent work, Squinky! I was planning to bump this thread up again and ask if we were done or not. By my count, there are still a few promises to be delivered on. As stated at the start, unless anyone says they really don't want me to, I'm going to pull all of these into a proper "magazine." I'd like to do that soon, so please keep them coming. -K. |

One could always hope that Mike Mumahs swimsuit drawings was for the SR swimsuit edition, but alas I fear they are for RIFTS :(

I totally agree. I think I got a case of World of Warcraft ears going there. But I just drew the picture for my self, and well, I liked it that way :) |

i think most of these women are way tooooo attractive to be eleves/trolls (but maybe thats the despereation setting in) but, it brings up an interesting idea. Even today, most models for "big an tall" women, isnt done by the "big and tall types" do you think this is going to change for trolls and orcs? or will it likely be little humans modeling for everything still?
sorry, not artwork to contribute :( |

That's because the pictures haven't been air-brushed or Photoshopped like normal models are. |
