>>98476844I like Baalbuddy's elves.
Elf preps.
>>98476872They are cute but I wish them happiness. Or at least begrudingly coming from being fucked by the goblin girl duo since they only get invited to their orgy and no one else's
>>98476844In my opinion Beckjan drew the best looking dark eldar. Too bad he disappeared.

>>98477458My favourite thing about this piece is just the absolute SWARMS of cliff racers.Like, anyone who lives on Vvardenfell and doesn't give praise to saint Jiub on the daily can fuck right off, I tell you.
Half-Elves are tortured people actually you'll watch a parent wither and die while another parent remains unchanged and will be forced to watch you wither and die
>>98477613Yeah agree, that's why I don't bother with half-anything, and especially half-elves (since elves should be the last race to racemix).
>>98477613Pretty much why I think it would be better if we just respected the biology principles (which suggest they shouldn't be possible).If you opt for the (kinda bullshity) idea that the baby will be the mother's species, that at least isn't THAT bad.
>>98477556>no noldorchudagreed, that version of the template should be mandatory
>>98477579Morrowind without Cliff Racers is kinda soulless.Although, it's really funny indeed how they justified it with this guy's lore.
Huma humen thirst for elven cockElf women won't even glance at human """"men"""
Eldar women find feces more attractive than human "men"
Eldar women prefer Human menYvraine, the only Eldar character of note, is the girlfriend of none other than Lord Commander of the Imperium Roboute Guilliman himself
So, you are just falseflaggin as a Eldar-copy of Noldorfag to them start Yvraine-Girlyman shipping to see what reaction you get from anons.
>>98476896Anyone know if there's an original subject it is based on.?I don't mean Viconia, but I feel like I recognize the angle and face.Like it's an AI image based on a more famous piece, or a person, then put into a drow+pixel filter.
after some time I decided to ignore stupid meme posting because it does not deserve a reply and my time is better spend actually reading the path of the dark eldar there is a surprising amount of A/O/B fanfic with the primarchs and some with the primarchs and the emperor and I'm not sure if it counts as incest btw I think Yriel's name translates to 'little prince'and you can't tell me otherwise because there's no actual lore behind it, so until it is proven wrong I am right
>>98477944Biology principles? They are a fictional race dude. If setting author says they can interbreed they can interbreed. There is a reason we say fantasy races and not fantasy species.
>>98478921I mean, he's called a Prince.Doubt his name is Prince Prince.
>>98479022humans give their children stupid names too, you think an alien species who regularly screws shit up is any different?
>>98479044They also ruled the galaxy for millions of years, so yes, I can call this press doubt.
>>98479002>They are a fictional race dude.That doesn't change that they are quite different despite similar looks which means they should be interfertile.If you are going to postulate that they don'T have DNA like we do so comaptibility of chromozomes etc is not important, then that's all the more reason, since if your fantasy humans look and behave exactly as we do, it's only natural for them to do have regular DNA and all that stuff.I guess perhaps if fucking and impregnating an elf (or elf a human) was considered something extra ordinary on the level of minor divine intervention where it would not be a biology but more like magical incident, perhaps.Still, think of the children. Just slake your interracial lusts with brown elves fucking blond elves.
>>98479149>Just slake your interracial lusts with brown elves fucking blond elves.No I don't think I will. Instead I will quench my thirst with blonde human men breeding grey dark elves.
And that's the people that populate these threads.
Tell me bros. Would you travel with an Empireboo Asur women who demands that (You) guide her to Nuln so she can learn about Human gunsmithing and line infantry tactics? Be aware that she will literally never shut up about how impressive Human technology is for being made by such a short-lived species. She will also never stop complaining about how much she was bullied by other Elves as a child due to her fascination with the Empire and with how much Human firearm development has diverged from Dwarven rifles and technology.
Next thread should have a rule to not talk about other races.
>>98479292You have retarded isekais for this shit.
>>98479149
>/aco/ is such a low-tier trash boar---wow
Thoughts on brown elves? Should they exist?
>>98479149aw, that manga was cute, I see you fellow y/u/ri enjoyer
>>98479613brown elves are very nice and should absolutely exist
>>98479613Brown elfs are best and should always have white hair.
>>98480192Olga has black hair thoughbeight
>>98476896Wasn’t Vic’s face based off an adult model?I read it somewhere and I think that’s funny and would be funnier if true.
>>98476844Does wotc go after drow looking elves from other ips? I saw a black elf from dungeon meshi manga. I haven’t seen the anime. It just made me curious.What myths inspired the drow or are they basically greenwood’s creation he wrote with pen paper and his penis that might be the best way to homebrew anything in fantasy media?
>>98478353The bright eyes and headscarf make me immediately think of the Afghan Girl who was famous as a cover photo for National Geographic.
>>98479149>>98479657Sauce? One of these is an elf hentai right?As weird as it is are elves basically a Japanese thing by how common they are in Japanese manga/anime and ttrpgs?Kind of like how burgers are German but they are now an American thing.
>>98480363No, and they have no reason to unless they use the name "drow" which WOTC does own the copyright to. The concept of Dark Elves or Black Elves have existed LONG before WOTC and D&D and are so generic, they couldn't possibly copyright them.Even though there are examples of the word "drow" existing and being used to describe dark-skinned elves before D&D, no one wants to waste the money going to court and fighting WOTC over it.
>>98480363They don't even go after other elves called "drow".Drow is inspired by the mythological draugr and by the "trow". They also took aspects of dokkalfar (and thus, dwarves), although I think this element got lost over time.Pathfinder also has drow (or had). There is drow ranger in DOTA.Maybe you get into trouble if you copy basically everything from WotC's drow to the letter.
>>98480374>As weird as it is are elves basically a Japanese thing by how common they are in Japanese manga/anime and ttrpgs?Elves in japanese TTRPGs aren't more common at this point, nothing has changed here. Nobody in the western sphere is playing "Japanese elves" outside of the three guys that tried Sword World.And nah, thankfully elves aren't a Japanese thing. Holy fuck, that would tragic.The fun part is how you can't even lump "Western elves" together, since they can be radically different. Meanwhile, nobody could name a specific Japanese elf race like Asur, Drow, Sindar, Altmer. The rare exception are Elezen/Elvaan and Hylians (from video games, not TTRPGs), and in both cases anons will argue that these aren't elves lmao.
>>98480374>Japanese manga/anime and ttrpgs?do the japs even have domestic fantasy RPGs with elves beyond sword world?
>>98479657>MC doesn't want into arranged marriage, wants to be with childhood friend instead, despite a Romeo & Julliet situation between chocolate and vanilla elves>MC goes and does it anyway>gets goddess blessing for it and magically a baby awith her>AND that convinces the choco and vanilla elves to abandon their feud and make friendsFrankly, if this all this diabetes is to kill me, so fucking be it.Second doujin the author did is somewhat similar, they fugg and that ends up saving the environment. Glorious.>>98480374yeshttps://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/elf_magic_of_the_moon
>>98480374the second is https://e-hentai.org/g/2683772/78c6d67437/
>>98480355>Wasn’t Vic’s face based off an adult model?Yeah her bg2 portrait was, a Czech model, Zdenka Podkapova, but that's not what this is about.This piece of pixel fanart is based on something else entirely.>>98480367I can see that.I think the lips and the face shape in that angle in the pixelart stands out to me like a memory, like I feel I could come across a random actress one day, or even a video game character which this is basically traced from, much like the bg2 pic and the czech model.I could very well be wrong though, but thought I'd ask if anyone else saw something.
>>98480699Always felt funny once I found out about this (the portrait isn't great tho, as it happens with BG2 art).I think she did pretty hardcore shoots? I think one of czech gaming magazines at one point published full page adds fro Penthouse (despite it being bought by schoolkids - 1998 was something).And one of those adds was her siting basically fully nude with just nipples barely obscured by her thighs and her "wideopen beaver" only covered by a tie she had round her neck/betweens the (kinda huge) breasts all the way down.Yeah, we stared at that page so much. Kinda sad I didn't save that magazine.
>>98477037I believe the consensus is that he passed away. Given the decade of complete silence, it's very plausible.
>>98477613>almost elfNobody cares. Time to drink some moonshine
>>98479587>checking out old "elf" thread there>suddenly rugged, frowning male dunmer males>wait a mom-->it's fucking Noldorfag, allright>complaining that none of the "pornfaggots" actually lik elves>on a porn board
>>98481038>he spammed his folder of ugly non-nude guys on the porn board to kill a porn threadmy fucking sides
>>98481038>>98481104Can I get a rundown on this named lolcow and his antics and what got him the name?
>>98481104>>98481038
>>98481038Link?
>>98481126basically you will never be an elf: the anonhis main schtick is opposing sexualization of female elves (and also an imaginary problem of us supposedly all hating when elf men and women are in a relationship) which wouldn't be really bad if he wasn't a schizo and a dedicated spammer.When you se pics of frowning, usually edgy looking and usually kinda ugly (but possibly sexy to a gay dude) dunmer men in these threads, that's him crusading. His intent is something along the lines of "I will kill this thread with my pictures because I do not like your pictures (Even if I know you will make another)".He seems to have been doing his for 5-10 years with varying intensity, on many boards. The fact that he crusades against bad taste porn on /aco/ where that is the core topic, probably sums it best.I mean, I'm also against degrading porn. But this faggot is so annoying that it's even worse than pretty much any of that, with the exception of guro and snuff I guess. There should be death squads eradicating that.>>98480363>I saw a black elf from dungeon meshi mangaI hope tehy don't get afraid of it looking weird or scaring otakus away and make her as dark as possible. I wonder how the animation deal with it. The manga version for example uses inverted (white) outlines do deal with it, but obviously in anime you may want more shading and lighting effects,
>>98481208Dungeon Meshi "drow" are just regular elves btw, it's a rare color variety probably carried by some rare recessive gene.Interestingly, meshi elves don't seem to have black hair (there is one known character who is a half-elf and also just a character in an in-universe book).
>>98481233Would you read an elf soap opera series that probalby has 40 volumes and took two human lifespans to go from first to last volume?
>>98481233As in most Japanese media that has dark elves.
>>98481233>>98481239>me trying to get through the Malazan books
>>98481208Thanks for the quick lore rundown.I feel oddly better about my life decisions now. I don't recall any color pictures of that particular elf but I do like her classy short hair cut. Honestly after Casca and that elf I've come to find long hair on warrior women a bit weird as one would think dying that hair up or even cutting it into short hair styles would be better utilitarian wise for melee combat roles as hair getting in front of the eyes can be the cause of one getting killed.This applies for men as well. I can't look at Conan The Barbarian's long hair again.It is just a small autism I have.
>>98481206https://desuarchive.org/aco/thread/5888020/>>98481257yeah, long hair is risky. When you work in factory or with various machinery, or in war. There's biblical cautionary tale, even. Also, even dudes that had long hair know it gets fucking impractical, even with little things like it getting caught in your backpack's backpacky mcbackpackisms. Imagine it keeps getting caught like that in your plate armor - fucking DO NOT WANTWomen would absolutely have hair tied unless caught surprised in area where they didn't expect an attack and so on.That said, it could be some (questionable) religious or ritualistic practice to fight with hair undone, or it could be used for some magic effect perhaps, if you want to make excuses. Perhaps a matter of honor? Elves are sworn to fight humans with hair undone if it comes to it as a kind of mercy towards the little weak ones (though if you ask me, better idea would be just to fight as effectively as possible so that you get best chances to knock out your opponent without killing him).
>>98481294>that linkMan that is just sad. I feel even better about myself now. Also 5888174 in that thread is my favorite dark elf girl design. A shame the creator seemed to have stopped drawing her to my knowledge. His picture of that elf girl (or maybe a different character but similar looking) looking out the window while doing her "chest related profession" was a little meme I had with buddies where we edit the window to be something absurd. My favorite one was when we had all our IRL faces photoshopped at the window watching her work. >biblical cautionary tale about long hairI can't believe our ancestors knew these lessons but we never learned. I do want to look up loads of feminine short hair styles for elfs and warrior women now. Thank you anon.But while rule of cool is probably why untied long hair stays around, I think the magic, honor, and religious might be good excuses. I think cultural would work too.
Would it be wrong to make an Elf OC whose essentially someone else's. But just shave enough off to be OC?
>>98481759It's usually a faux pas to shave an elf
>>98481208Noldorfag lost hard, Japan won bigly, as he seethes impotently Japan churns out dozens of media with elf women (who get with human, often Japanese, men) and will continue to do so for years to come
just reposting my current elf from the previous thread>a dark elf ninja>dark in the sense they have dark skin, actually high elf on character sheet>dark and brooding edgelord who stands in corners and arm folds>is from fantasy not-japan and uses stock japanese ninja weapons like shuriken
>>98481294>Imagine it keeps getting caught like that in your plate armorYou say plate, but imagine with chain mail.
>>98481772Now that you mention it, "Norwood" is a fine elven name...
>>98481862So is he a Yasuke type character seeking to avenge his betrayed master with the path of ninjutsu or is it some inner magic that causes his skim to be like his soul?
>>98479149Consider the possibility that elves are just a race of humans with pointy ears and maybe some other random perks. For example in middle earth they can choose to become human and live a normal human life having multiple human children. The elves of middle earth and just magically enhanced humans.
>>98481903elves are effectively a form of human, or rather humans are a species of elf, if we apply modern anthropology to lord of the rings elvesaragorn is a half-elf and he can produce children, so elves and humans can produce viable offspring which makes both of them species to each other to say nothing of our extremely similar morphology, elven longevity in LOTR is partially a result of magic since their immortality fades as magic disappears from their world probably the only fantasy work to have mainstream success that actually addresses this is dungeon meshiwhere human is the umbrella term for the species, and the specific like-our-world human is called a tallman
>>98481890honestly havent thought that far yet, I just thought having a black asian elf would be funnyexcept for avenging the dead master, that comes with the territory
>>98481926Pretty ironic considering in dungeon meshi humans and elves cannot produce fertile offspring. Meaning that is one the few settings where they don't actually meet the criteria to be classified as the same species.
>>98481941Iirc, thar would make humans the taxonomic equivalent of a genusAnd tallman, elf, and half foot species within the genus
>>98481239No, I would not like to read Horus Heresy novels.
>>98481772I'm slightly changing her from a Big Titty Black Elf with Blue Eyes. To a Big Titty Black Elf with Green Eyes.
>elf>big titsYou got humans, orcs, dwarves and many more for that.No love for slender women.
>>98481126
>>98482798Mate I just want an excuse to draw a Big Titty Elf Bitch.
>>98482804Do your stuff, I'll continue to lament the fact that if you actually like slim elves THE WAY THEY ARE FUCKING DESCRIBED IN ACTUAL GAMES you are leaving empty-handed, because everything has to be the fucking same.
>>98482815Shut up, faggot.
The absolute enragement you get from pointing out that elves are thin with low amounts of bodyfat in traditional games ON THE TRADITIONAL GAMES BOARD, it would be hilarious if it wouldn't be so sad.Like, I get it if this were a porn board, because the concept is already so degraded in pornography and porn artists are such lazy faggots, they just slap pointy ears on the exact same bodytype they usually draw.In western fantasy, elves very often have a different physiognomy beyond just pointy ears. Very specific facial features and also thinner, lighter builds. A different silhouette, even if you cut out the pointy ears.Cut out the pointy ears of your regular anime girl... with pointy ears, and what's left?
>>98482855>pic
I sense another catastrophic melty coming on...
>>98482815I could draw her as a slim elf too y'know.>Slim is her natural state.>Curvy is when she enters human settlements as a way of gaining information.>How? Magic.
>>98483045Do as you please, I don't want to be the faggot that will tell others what they have to draw (unless I'm paying for it).This is the elf general and therefore critisize something elf-related and lament the fact that so many depictions (especially from the far east) don't appeal to me, the elf-fag that doesn't base his perception fot his race on porn.
>>98483086Fair enough. I've got to head to class so I need to get going but tell me anon, tell me of your ideal Elf woman. She could be a nice warm up when I return in ten hours.
>>98483096There is a reason for posting Elf from Dragon's Crown and it's not just the lack of alternatives. This is one of the best elf design mankind could create.60% legs, wide hips, narrow waist. Despite my rant, I'm not opposed to elf girls having curves, but it should be curves that befit an agile, quick and nimble race. Doesn't need to be flat, just slim. Average height.
>>98483120For good measure.There is also something about her design that I genuinely love and really miss when it comes to elf designs: the combination of a youthful appearance and an aged, aloof, melancholic aura. Lots of fanart misses that, even the VA (English and Japanese) sound a lot more energetic. But a lot of official art of manages to capture this feeling that she's actually a lot older than she looks.Maybe I interpret too much into this
Elf breasts
>>98482815>>98483086>>98483120>>98483126Well, there's lot of elves drawn in the "small or even little girl/boy". You almost never see a tall athletic but slim adult (small breasts if female).If you look at character sheets for Goblin Slayer it turns out that HEA apparently is 170 which is kinda tall compared to other people there, but you wouldn't know because she get's drawn with very narrow upper torso and shoulders which makes her look like a kid (and not sure the comic consistently sticks to her supposed height).
>>98483281>"small or even little girl/boy" styleI mean
>>98483281>You almost never see a tall athletic but slim adult (small breasts if female).B-but I've been posting that in this place for 2 years with just that.
>>98483281If I hadn't posted Elf, I would have posted HEA.And that's almost it for this type of elf from Japanese media. Dungeon Meshi elves as well. Surely they exist some lesser known ones.Maybe my biggest gripe with "sexiness of the early 21 century". It tends to jump from one extreme to the other.>tall athletic but slim adultThat's usually how male elves are depicted, if not as femboys.
>>98483317And you will be appreciated.
>>98479613consider this chart:
>>98483317Nice. I guess it's "woman is tall" is often hard to get from the image without reference.
>>98483445Tall is a relative term. Arrianne is tall for most of her kind but is average for humans
Appropriating dunmer culture.
>>98483524Would be nice if the chinese gaccha popularised huge elves. Though any copycats will probably just make the hugettes be some other species.
>>98480436>The rare exception are Elezen/Elvaan and Hylians (from video games, not TTRPGs), and in both cases anons will argue that these aren't elves lmao.Those produce some nice art though.
>>98483626the hylians fill the same niche as humans, they just have long ears as a result of the original NES sprite being translated to art 1:1 at firstOOT onwards would establish the zora as the elf-equivelant, being long-lived, supernaturally graceful, and aloof speciestheir architecture in BOTW is also more flowing and organic, befitting their sealife aesthetic but also brings to mind your stereotypical elf style
>Square Enix makes a Final Fantasy MMO with Elves (Elvaan)>They're are objectively the best and are right about basically everything, with the greatest nation as well>Square Enix makes a second Final Fantasy MMO with Elves (Elezen)>They're are objectively the best and are right about basically everything, with the greatest nation as wellOdd they did it twice.
>>98483715That's strange, I checked some official (???) tabletop game with Elvaan and their description couldn't stop talking about how arrogant they are and how they lost everything and anything.It felt strangely negative. Like the author was annoyed that he had to put them in there.Wish I could remember what game it was. Maybe I'm hallucinating things.
>>98483644>as a result of the original NES sprite being translated to art 1:1 at firsthilariousBut yeah, I was talking about aesthetics of the art. Which tends to go fit well in the graceful elf image.
>>98483729Bastok propaganda to distract from the fact they're killing peaceful turtle babies to expand their dead-end "mining industry" while glorious San d'Oria retains its natural splendor while slaughtering Orcs.
>>98481038>>98481104>>98481294>that threaderm... it was only moved from /v/ to /aco/ at the end of itI also think I found my post in it
>>98483980yeah, kinda looks like it. I think I saw him with another thread I checked after that but unsure if it couldn't have been moved too
>>98478247The recent Cronesword reveal pretty much destroyed any hopes or ideas I had for the Eldar in the official 40k narrative. There is no happy outcome at all and it's not becoming clear GW have no clue what to do with Eldar and don't really seem to want or care about approaching them outside of models. Maybe I've just been coping so long that SOMETHING would happen that I expected that something to be good. Instead it's once again three steps backwards and no hope for moving forward.
>>98476844Elves should have their ears clipped & forcibly integrated into human society
>>98484065Why the fuck do you want shit to happen to the eldar narrative wise? Pushing the narrative forwards in 40k was a mistake in the first place.
>>98484089>>98484065the Ynnari were a push forward, then a new CEO came around, saw they were moving on and destroyed the Ynnari in a single stroke because he didn't like what the last CEO was doingwhich is a thing in big cooperations:you have some CEO's who baby certain aspects and then they get fired and move on and piss on the lasts CEO's projectsand now Yvraine has some sort of mid-life crisis because her SiC called her the imperiums dog and she now does fetch quests for mon'keighs and she has no more 'friends'>still waiting for the god of death to rob her off her powers and her getting killed off unceremoniously her body thrown in a ditch somewhere
>>98484089Not him, but there are ways to push the narrative forward without really changing much about the setting overall. Like, the Ynnari idea isn't necessarily bad in itself, and could result in another minor avatar for them to occasionally field. Let them win over some minor wars here and there, stomp another space marine chapter (they have thousands of those), glass some planet (they have millions of those), and you have another formidable threat to the Imperium (another one can't hurt).Rhana Dandra is about fighting some apocalyptic war for real, in which all and everything perishs. It's not some automatic win button for the Eldar that ends the setting. You can progress their endeavors and there is still war.
>>98484143what would happen if someone would destroy the crone sword? wouldn't it weaken slaanesh? sounds like a fun idea
>>98484089Because I want Eldar to do cool stuff that actually feels like it has weight instead of being shoved into a minor two-paragraph blurb that has no details beyond "And then X fought Y and X won". I'm tired of every Eldar 'victort' being undermined by the inane requirement if it being pyhrric in nature. I'm tired of having to imagine the Eldar winning in ways only I'll ever know while the 'official stance' is to treat them like dirt so other factions can feel good about bashing them.I'm sick and fucking tired of pretending everything's okay in 40k just because the Imperial fans get their positive reinforcement every week while other factions get slapped in the face and told to just bear it and to imagine being happier with headcanons. It's worse than insulting, it's embarassing to even call oneself an 'Eldar fan', since it means you're either a masochist or delusional. You can only plug your ears and tell yourself everything's alright or you don't care for so long before it stops working.
>Post an elf with slightly large breasts >Cause a cataclysmic meltdown Why?
>>98484154I've given up on corporate media balancing storytelling and lore. IP's are either kept in a boring state of stagnation where everything stays the same so it's familiar, or they go off the deep end and wipe the old setting to make a new one that isn't as popular, like with AoS or dnd 4E.
Speaking about high calcium content elves
>post a male elf>instant seething from dopamine-fried coombrains and the elf-hatersFunny how that works.
>>98479307Next thread should have a rule not to post Dunmer men.
>>98484938is this a series with an elf protagonist or just a side character?
>>98485094elf protagonist and a female elf companion
>>98483644I'm not aware of any source that the Zora lived longer than any other race in OOT. I don't think they did that until BoTW and Zelda basically resets its world building every entry.
>>98483715>Elvaan>Elezenat that point they might as well just call them elves

>>98483583chinese gacha just ruins everything and I don't like elves being tall. In fact, I don't like this trend of elves taking place of every other fantasy creature/race/species thats not human.
>>98483126>>98483120I have never heard of this. Is it an anime, a game? She's a good design.
>>98486686NTA but just looked it up and it looks like a Playstation game called Dragon's Crown.
>>98486962Huh. I'll have to call my old job. We sell retro video games. Maybe they can look for it for me and I can swing by and pick it up.
>>98486686>>98487007Not him, but it was for PS3 and there was an improved version for PS4 or PS5, may not be THAT retro. Aside from the elf, most other chicks are absurd cheesecake, like a Frazetta homage on steroids.
>>98485274not as often as you thinkOOT -> MM -> WW -> PH forms a single continuity and a lot of games at least form a pair before they resetzelda 1 -> 2, with LTTP being more of a soft-reboot and then BOTW and TOTK
>>98483317>make a slim, petite, 5-foot tall elf with no chest>people still want to whack of to themguess i have to accept there is no escape
>>98487670some like 'em thickothers prefer a stick
>>98480765>Always felt funny once I found out about this (the portrait isn't great tho, as it happens with BG2 art).Off topic but if you think that's funny I want to introduce you to a happy little comic book artist named Greg Land
is this too wholesome for elf general?
>>98487917>elf generalno such thing
>>98487917Too wholesome for certain people.
People don't hate elf couples just because they posted human x elf couples.
>>98488201it's literally elf genocide thoughbeight
>>98487362>About to say the PS4 isn't retro, but remembered it came out in 2005, 21 years ago.Thank goodness I still have a PS3. Modded too. I'll ask about for it. >Cheesecake Elves.While I enjoy ladies of all sizes, I understand the need for slim, lithe Elves again. That being said - Rizella. Let her be my one exception.
Kind of wanted to write a little story about an Elf.>Irish Elf.>He's watched his people steadily retreat further and further into the realm of the Fae as humanity industrialized and pushed into their territory.>Many of his people attempted to adapt, but they either withered away or, in some instances, intermarried with humans for so long that they're no longer Elves(big his standards).>In 2030, he is the last Elf in his grove, and knows his days are numbered, and has steadily come to accept it.A man who knows that his time is coming to an end, and is putting affairs in order, y'know.
>>98488201But they hate male elves for sure.
>>98488246too depressing for my tastes but I commend your creativeness anon
>>98488288Depressing is what I like. Hell, I'm writing a little fantasy story that's more or less that, albeit the Elf is a Fairy, not an elf in general.
>>98488249I swear to god that bald fuck did to women what dark elves did to men.
>>98488293would you walk into traffic already
>>98488369no, I don't think I will
>>98488242>Cheesecake Elves.I think there's some really hot drow or something, but I meant the chicks in the game in general. From what I recall of the artwork, it's not just the player character Sorceress and Amazon, there's tons of hot monster girls all over the place.Also I may have gotten it wrong about a PS4 revamp, I may have thought about Odin Sphere, which is from the same company and also has some beautiful fairy babes.
If elf men were real all human men would be incels and human women would gladly slaughter theirvhusbands and children to get to be with an elf male
A tiny human penis can't even be felt by an elf woman let alone pleased by it.
>>98488393PS4 and PS5 got Dragon's Crown Pro, which is an overall upgrade, albeit not a massive one. A technical upgrade as well as a higher-quality soundtrack.The Japanese version had something like a traditional RPG-mode that the western releases never gotThe game surely celebrates the sword and sorcery voluptuousness and very exaggerated character designs. Lots of sexy ladies, but also massive muscly barechested barbarian dudes. What if Japanese dudes did a Frank Frazetta vs Shadow over Mystara (with some Monty Python thrown in).
They should advance the Eldar plot by having Eldar women slaughter the human male leaderhsip and laugh at their tiny penises. Then have the Eldar men breed all of the now WILLING human female leadership on the top of the corpses of the slaughtered males. Then transform the Imperium where all the human menbare enslaved and human women lead and are distributed acrossvthe harem's of Eldar and Tyranid males.
>>98488393>>98488428See, when it comes to Elves, even the Japs are in agreement that sometimes having them curvy is a good idea.
>>98488442Most Japs don't know how to write elves and they surely don't know how to design them.Elf (from Dragon's Crown) is still one of their best designs precisely because she isn't a dumb animu bimbo that they slapped some pointy ears on as an afterthought.Western artists mirroring this development so that they get more likes on Xitter for adding pointy ears on basic bitch bimbos isn't a good thing. It's just another level of the archetype degrading into mediocreness and sameness.
>Eldar have animal pets and pet/hug their animals>Yrliet depsite all his bending over backwards for her is too disgusted to touch the human male Rogue TraderIt's canon that Eldar women are so repulsed by human men they view them lower than animals.Even the best of mon-keigh are to be exterminated
It's canon that you are falseflagging and a faggot.
>>98488454Fair enough, I understand where you're coming from, I'm just of that crowd that enjoys a curvy lass is all. The one you posted from Dragon's Crown is rather nice though, I feel she could've had her own book just based on her design alone. Some solo adventure quest of sorts.
>>98488465Well, there is a short Dragon's Crown manga, although the Amazon is more of the protagonist in that.
>>98488428>The Japanese version had something like a traditional RPG-mode that the western releases never gotI know it had one of those solo gamebooks... I even downloaded a youtube playthrough of it to see if I could eventually screenshot and use a translator on it or something.
>>98488369Your best bet is to report for 'extremely low effort'. He hasn't taken the hint the last time he got banned, but it at least stops him from flooding the board.
>>98488311I don't understand, what did the dark elves do?
>>98488249DAI companions were something. Great dialogue writing and voice acting, even if they looked funny.Fuck yeah Solas.I mean, I could tell even as a hopeless waifufag because I suddenly realised I like all the male characters (well, the BDSM fetish dude was a mistake but even he had great voice acting).
are fairies elves or are elves fairies?and where do pixies factor in?
>>98489199>are fairies elves or are elves fairies?In the context of traditional games? No. There are many games in which both exists (with fairies rarely being playable due to their size giving game designers and GMs headaches). Sometimes, they may be related, like both hailing from some fey dimension. But they are usually two distinct races.
>>98489219I like the lore in forgotten realms that drow are scared shitless by fairies>which is funny because I'm pretty sure in FR fairies and elves are actually related in a way>why else would they have something called FEY ancestry?
>>98489199>redheadfairy>blondeelf
>>98489199It's like humans and neanderthals, different species but of the same stock. In real life folklore, pixies are just what English people used to call fairies. They aren't different. In D&D pixies are inherently more magical and tricksy, they're likely to cast polymorph on you.
>>98489240>I like the lore in forgotten realms that drow are scared shitless by fairiesNice, and so these images actually have a lore background.
>>98484089Eldar need narrative change so that they can become active in conflicts with out being written like complete retards.Currently they're a dying race that is supposed to be obsessively using future seeing magic to manipulate things so that they don't take casualties.The problem with this is that every single time you fight an actual battle with your forces it means you fucked up, doubly so if you lose which the Eldar often do. It also means that having g the Eldar show up at all in your story involves them being too stupid or incapable of solving their own problems.Using the Ynnari plot to move the faction into an active role where showing up to a war zone makes sense because they want to take a planet themselves or because someone wants to throw hands solves core narrative issues with the Eldar as a faction but leaves you with the choice to also write them as cunning manipulators if you so desire since it was their previous "specialty" and they're immortal.
>>98488249Can't believe Bioware was based enough to make an elf romance option for elves only. That will probably never happen again ever. Only other games I've seen that in are romance mods for the old Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games.
>>98489496The whole "dying race" bit is overstated. There are still billions of eldar around. Craftworlders are more numerous than the fucking dark eldar according to GW. It is just that non eldar races massively outnumber the eldar.
>>98489685Anon youre wrong but let's not drag this thread down. Gav Thrope stated that major craftworlds like alaitoc ulthwe etc have a population in the single digit millions and smaller craftworlds have populations in the thousands. The total number of eldar in existence is outnumbered by your average civilized world in the imperium.
>>98489763Thrope is a fucking disphit retard (who should be shot, Khaine willing) and I don't give a fuck about what he has to say. Given that Commoragh is described as making an average hive city look like an ant's nest, and the dark eldar constantly produce halfborn and are not in any way restricted by the reproductive bottlenecks of the Craftworld eldar, who still somehow outnumber the Dark Eldar. GW writers have no sense of scale at all and thus I reject any retarded notions they make about the numbers of the Eldar. A craftworld like Ailatoc is the size of a small moon, it having just "single digit millions" of inhabitants is retarded bullshit.
>>98490242the fact that soulstones which can only be found on craftworlds because they're made from fallen eldar also means the number of spirit stones is finite, which is kind of horrifying whne you think about it for just a bit>at some point there won't be any left- which means every new eldar will just be another slaanesh snack if they can't find some way to make more
>>98490317>craftworlds*croneworldsand getting there in the first place is a suicide run
>>98490317The new exodite book states that soulstones themselves are not found intact from crone worlds but instead are made from a material that emerges in areas where warp and realworld intersect. They are also not exclusive to crone worlds either anymore, as apparently even webway gates can produce trace amounts of that material from which skilled Eldar craftsmen make new soulstones. The Exodites also smash soulstones that contain an eldar soul on their world spirit altars to allow the individual eldar soul to enter the world spirit.

>>98489219elves were originally faeries, either a type of faerie or a synonym for them hence they were used interchangeably with goblin, hobgoblin, fairie, pixie, etc.keebler elves and santas elves are a holdover of those types of elves, where they are short humans with a whimsical desire to make toys/cookies for reasons beyond our comprehension
I kinda like the idea that elves are degenerate (in a scientific sense) faeries.Something something fae are naturally creatures of Wyld, magic, and chaos, but the proto-elves somehow got tethered to material world and were slowly grounded in real biology.Whether it is this "tethering", or their fae ancestry, is responsible for their great lifespan is a matter of some debate.It's a bit like if elves' ancestors did a 360 and moonwalked into order, hence them often being so stuck-up and good with arcane (read: "scientific") magic.>Traditional games?"Fae atavism" elf-only perk that gives things like tails, small useless wings, freaky vibrantly-colored hair/skin/eyes, and boosts wild magic?Think tieflings, but originating from faeries, rather than demons.Might be particularly funny for a half-elf to have it, especially if it's treated like a bloodline "curse" by the elven side of the family.
>>98493736>in the context of traditional games
>>98493736bunch of bullshit
>>98489195>DAI companions were something. Great dialogue writing and voice acting, even if they looked funny.Lol LMAO even
>>98495381>Insidious Elf seduces the king of a neighboring Human kingdom, securing not only the most favorable deals and diplomatic status with them, but also ensuring that the heir to the throne is a Half-Elf who can run the kingdom as an Elven proxy>All she has to do to succeed is love and cherish him as her husbandA foolproof plan
>>98495566And then one day for no reason at all the elves ruled the world
>>98495566that implies they actually have even trace amounts of intelligence
>>98495593>the race known for their spellcraft, learning, culture, tactics and long history>and often with a bonus to Intelligence in actual games>hurf de durf dem dumpI blame porngroids like OP for making threads that appeal to your kind.
>>98495604say that to GW and how eldar, the race with the farseers who can look into the future, always get the short end of the stick, beaten by the 'younger' races like humans, over and over again and how their avatar of Khaine got beaten by a single space marine who didn't even wear a helmetI am sure there are more examples, but I don't feel like listing all of themA lot of writers seem to have a hate boner for elves
>>98495624Yes, Eldar are badly written.We criticize the writers for doing a bad job with their depiction of this fictional race constantly.We weren't talking about Eldar, though.Why the fuck are elf-haters flocking to these threads?I know, because>>98495381 still appeals to them
>>98495381>>98495589Remove the beer gut and this is good stuff
>>98495910get a load of this faggot
>>98481208>>98481257>>98481294>>98481469I feel like fantasy media women are typically depicted with long hair a lot and then when they are depicted with short hair it is often the cyberpunk side cut to the point of overuse.It makes Casca and classy short hair female haircuts look more unique and appealing because they don’t seem to appear much.I do love the idea of banging an attractive adult drow elf woman (consenting) with short hair and flamela from dungeon meshi did things to me.Role players at my table think me giving lots of warrior women in the settings short hair is nonconformist stuff and one said empowering but really it is my dick doing this writing. Maybe setting writing about things one thinks is cool and then some fetish insertion of varying degrees of subtlety is the true way of writing a setting.
>>98495990actions have consequences anon
>>98481294KINOnoldorfag is really something
>>98496065>Maybe setting writing about things one thinks is cool and then some fetish insertion of varying degrees of subtlety is the true way of writing a setting.always has been.
>>98481257>>98496065Well, if nothing else, variety is a friend of sexo.Braids, hair tied around the head in various ways, clumsily cut hair (I always like that scene in Ladyhawke when she appears with hair cut), even buzzcuts
>>98489195>DAI companions were something. Great dialogue writing and voice acting, even if they looked funny.The only good voice actor and well written companion among all of them was sadly the obnoxious faggot Dorian.
>>98497034I guess you didn't like them for this or that reason, but they are all well done and acted. I think Sera is the weakest link because whoever wrote her tried to make her le quirky but horny too hard (and it's a dyke written by a dude).And yeah, unexpectedly the homo guy has great and amusing banter.
>>98494642depends on the game
>>98495715>We weren't talking about Eldar, though.eldar = space elf
>>98497034First I've ever seen the opinion that Solas doesn't have good voice acting. I think he does, much as the flowery aspects of his dialogue might be hit or miss.
>>98488454I share the sentiment; elves designed by eastern countries always wind up being just stacked humans with pointy ears, or at least more commonly. I feel that is more a modern trend, as older media from the 80s/90s did better job of capturing an elven aesthetic, though that might just be a consequence of the era rather than any conscious effort.My ideal is still the high elves from age of reckoning. I don't care for the over-the-top hubris, and the exceedingly detailed armor, but overall warhammer fantasy elves are pretty great. Tall, slender, powerful.My favorite characterization of elves is and probably always will be Tolkien's. They have the power and pride which comes with it, but both are more a product of mild autism that pushes them to do stupid shit. Don't care for most of the designs from the Jackson trilogy though.
>>98497781It's the writing/character concepts for me. Some have extremely cringe voice acting (Bull, Cole, Varric) but it's mostly the concepts that put me off. Sera more than anyone else.>>98497928Solas is good but as in expected industry standard good if it makes sense. Dorian is really the one that carries every conversation/banter.But then again...all of this is my shitty opinion. I only went to drama school as a kid and my acting range is Kobold/Skaven, Gnoll and redneck
>>98497933You don't get to criticize anime elves when you like dogshit warhammer aka the jobber elves.
