A classic joke about LOTR with an even funnier followup
xyzzy
Eowen sneaks into the army by pretending to be a man
xyzzy
meaning that she wore the traditional armor of Rohirrim men
xyzzy
Frank Frazetta drew Eowen like this
Frank Frazetta drew Eowen like this
xyzzy
so, we joke, this must be what the men were wearing
xyzzy
the punchline comes when you
xyzzy
see Frank Frazetta drawing male fantasy warriors
xyzzy
xyzzy
and yeah
xyzzy
he commits
xyzzy
NOBODY wears pants into battle in the world of Frazetta
RobotApocalypse
y'know what, i can respect that
DoveEaterXC
same
Snake-Kun
people barely even wear shirts
xyzzy
you can't vanquish evil if you don't look slutty

"whys dernholm wearing a top"

There's a skeleton hanging out in one of them, do you think he has ass
DIE!Ba Nana
I'm also very certain at least one of them goes
DIE!Ba Nana
"Did you see that? My muscles always save the day!"

As I once saw someone put it, Frazetta had a great love for the human body and a powerful hatred of pants.
xyzzy
he will draw as much body as he possibly can
moontouched
good ol frank, he didnt believe in pants at all
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i have had this talk about him before and yeah this man just
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
any other artist would be absolutely slammed and mocked for drawing eowyn that way
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
frank fazetta?
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
no, he. that's legit.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
this is the platonic ideal of an Ass Man.
Snake-Kun
Eowyn is, if anything
Snake-Kun
MORE dressed than most of these people
Echo
It may be sexy armor, but it isn't sexist armor, and frankly that makes all the difference.
xyzzy
I don't want nothing to be sexy
xyzzy
I want EQUALITY
xyzzy
all genders are slutty or none of them are
Echo
And by God, Frazetta has delivered it.
xyzzy
also obligatory comment about sexy vs sexualized
xyzzy
every outfit is sexy to someone
xyzzy
the problem is when the designer makes only certain kinds of characters wear things deliberately designed to appeal sexually to specific audiences
Echo
Yeah, that's also a very good point.

It’s worth noting that for a lot of artists, drawing the nude figure is actually a lot easier than drawing a clothed one
A Grinning DM
That’s why superheroes traditionally wear spandex
A Grinning DM
I had to take at least 4 classes drawing naked people when I got my art degree but my “costumed figure drawing” classes were all elective
xyzzy
cloth is hard
A Grinning DM
it genuinely is
