Sexualized Women

There has been some talk in the blogosphere about sexualized women in rpg art, here, here and here and possibly elsewhere too. To be honest, I have little to no interest in anything Mr. Errant says, but since I hold Mr. Aldeboran in high regard (and admiration, since I find his art disturbingly awesome), I have decided to give my two cents worth. The first thing I have to say, is that the Elmore idea of what a sexualized woman is, is pretty far from mine.

Being a fan of heavy to grind through doom, sludge, death and black metal, there are very few things that annoy me more than indie rock and mods. Still, I have a weakness for skinny girls with little to no curves and dressed in a somehow masculine way. I'm heterosexual, indeed – not that I see anything wrong in other sexual inclinations, except, of course, pedophilia – I just like girls. To give you an idea of what I consider to be pretty hot, I offer you two pics:

I just wonder why girls in rpg art couldn't look like these girls, but seem to have to be overly plump at all costs. Probably Playboy was the only reference for Elmore to draw women. That said, I strongly agree with Mr. Aldeboran's point of view: give me more Fat Cotton and Stefan Poag weird and disturbing art cause I don't give a fuck for chainmail bikinis. Also, girls playing bass guitars are hotter than any other due to the fact they do play a bass guitar.
