Ah, but whose standard of beauty are we applying to hill giants? Beatty is in the eye of the beholder! Not that kind of beholder!

 

hehehe

[Sirithiliel]

For the hill giants especially, i'd like to see a female that mataches them. Which means probably not our standard of 'beauty'

 

the reason being, i dislike it when a female of a species might as well a completely new species instead of a female of that actual species.

So if the hill giants are lanky, large, muscles, and vaguely 'cave man' in facial appearance, i don't want some amazonian beautiful woman for their female version. It'd be like world of warcraft and the drastic, severe difference in gender between, say, the Troll male and the Troll female, where one looks like a monstrous humanoid and the other looks like a lovely human woman with blue skin and long canine teeth.

 

I want female giants that match the theme of the males. If the giants are relatively human like (like the storm or fire), then sure, the female can be just as lovely. But the hill giants are NOT lovely by our standards, and i don't want to see some gorgeous beauty for a hill giant female...i want to see something that looks like she belongs in the hill giant species

So I think I'll have to get Narglauth after all, and mate him with greybeard number 48 from core set:) I'll need to make a nice bridge diorama, and viola:) That will make a nice display piece.

How about female Centaur, Ettin,  Genie,  or Bugbear?

We have a female centaur in Bones now. I've always liked this genie

 

I wouldn't mind seeing female bugbears either. Not into ettins myself. I agree with Sirithiliel about what they should look like. I went and tried to find some cave woman pics to show what I was thinking. Found a bunch of nice photos more like Raquel Welch and now I'm not thinking what I was thinking before. The closest I found was Oprah with a beard. I'm not sure if I'm loosing it or Google's getting to me. A search for neanderthal woman gave me results more like what I originally wanted. Now to go look at more cave woman photos....

Suddenly, a roc appears.

 

Ain't no cat dragon, but okay. Bed time!

I don't remember as many calls for a roc as there were for cat dragons, so maybe there's still hope of backer requests getting one. But honestly now, I'd rather see dance of death first! Hoping dance of death gets revealed and unlocked, I actually want that now! Roc does look like a phoenix, so I think I'll need to add that to my list once its unlocked:(

[Zink]

Liking that Roc. He's a big feller.

[terminalmancer]

Gene says 12" wingspan. Woot!

 

Edit: Ron notes that this is a render of a digital sculpt, and the size is not currently set in stone. Could be a bit smaller, could be a bit bigger. We'll have to wait and see.

Ooh, such an awesome Roc. I love that tail and its pose of just about to snatch up whatever it wants.
