Into the Inner Sea?

I'll bind that for a dollar!

what?

Heheh.

Stupid sexy Cheliax...

Seriously, with one notable exception every devil-worshipping girl from Cheliax has been a knockout. Dammit Hell, stop it with the tempting.

And thanks for the Sargava trait!

Hey it's what we do. Well that and cake. Have some... it's devil's food!

I feel your pain. Or is that lust? Either way it's something that any good Andoran supporter, like yours truly, shouldn't be feeling. Where are all the sexy freedom fighters? >_<

At least I still have my lovely Imrijka....

Yes, I have noticed that they are leaning on that Evil is Sexy trope pretty hard. ;D

That is one of the coolest images I have seen in a long time.

I like the fact that she's not exactly busting out of her top like Seoni or Feiya. I've had enough of the typical fantasy art woman over the years. Don't get me wrong, Frazetta and Boris are great talents, but they gave us unrealistic images of fantasy women that have leaked into our hobby.

This image, while very sexy, looks more like a woman that might actually exist. I like that.

You mean apart from the fact she is floating in mid air over a portal to hell?

Ah, you have never seen my better half in a corset? Yes, with some bone ribbing, most girls pop out like that, and yes. I am well blessed, damn me.

:D

Heh, curse you and catching of such a fine succu... >remembers afflication<... uh, erinyes. Yeah erinyes, not succubus <_<...>_> No demonic activity here.

Oh look cake!

Evil has to have something to make up for how much it sucks.

But, wait!

There are also a few examples of Good is Sexy available too. ;D

But, women who look like Seoni or Freiya do exist!

So, how "unrealistic" are those images that have "leaked into our hobby"?

And yes, Jenny Poussin is an authentic "Gamer Girl!"

See, I feel we are spoiled by Paizo. I see this awesome artwork and I want a full iconic background on her.

Yes yes... that's right we don't float in mid air over a hell mouth... nope never... good call.

Back on topic, a Chelish Infernal Binder... can't wait and yes she does look sexy and I am glad for the more realistic size of her... magic. :)

Dude, she's in a Player Companion. That means she's meant to be a PC - or PC-ish. Thaaaat means it's up to you to tell us. :)

And to push matter even further into the Evil is sexy, but sometimes very wrong trope, is that a Vargouille she's conjuring up? Bat winged ears, a penchant for kissing??? Those things have naughty tentacles too...

--If the Summoning Chambers a Vrockin', don't bother knockin'

She looks like she's saying, "Hmm... what shall I bind today..."

Devil's Food cake? Wow, you really DO have all the tempting stuff! ;)

Evil can usually afford it. Especially when Evil is in a position to summon fiends. Seriously, if you're gonna sell your soul for stuff, who wouldn't put "drop dead sexy" on the list? Of course, you wouldn't want to word it like that...

I stand corrected. Partially... I suppose I'm guilty of going too far in the name of "realism" But don't it seem over the top (pun intended) for almost every female we see in hobby materials to be absolutely curvy and gorgeous?

Even that Half-Orc INQ seems tasty after a fashion... :)

I'm going with Sorceror 5/Dark Willow 10/Sexy Fantasy Cliche 3/Lefty's Future Ex-Wife 1/Fighter 2(for the feats)

Dark Willow 10

Don't even joke about it; that would definitely top the list of ways to die. :P

"You were incredible tonight dear. How was I?"

"Bored now." *rrriiiippppp*

Ah crazy hand and a lazy eye!
A well at least its better then Seoni's crazy leg on the Campaign Setting Cover.

Still, I love the art!

It is the Most Common Super Power. ;)

And Imrijka is divine... and not just a divine caster, either. XD

Can't wait for November and looking forward to the Chelish infernal binder. I am hoping this is sort of a redo of the Fiend Binder from Tome of Magic. I really like the feel of that but it had a bunch of issues with it over all.

Only a couple more months to find out. Fingers crossed and waiting with baited breath.

Just remember that when they do the bakini print of Baba Yaga :) Remember the movie Willow ? His wife the nelwin girl? :) She was a migit that was dressed very conservativly :) There is lots of different kinds of realism out there :)

Okay, now that I have got my grubby hands on the Inner Sea Primer I am upset by the art.

Why?

Every woman looks like a forlorn teenage girl: Iomedae, Sarenrae (both goddesses!) and a Chelish Binder. The flautist in the same style is pretty annoying as well.

Can Iomedae in her triumph look like the battle scarred inspiring veteran she was?! Can Sarenrae (or perhaps that is a worshipper) reflect the strong, confident female goddess she is?!
And a Chelish Binder! A devil-dealing master of magic, at the age of what? 16?

All I ask for is verisimilitude. And if we do have to have pathetic fan-service (which can surely be left to prolific amateurs) can it not be borderline jailbait?

So, yeah, a bit of a rant but it is upsetting to have a fine publication by the wonderful writers at Paizo spoiled by an obnoxious line of art.

And finally, Is Ezren the only man my players should expect to meet on Golarion? Or is it just that women outnumber them 5 to 1?

I'm generally a huge fan of Sarah Robinson's art direction but this just feels... wrong.

I can only speak for myself (actually, that's not exactly true--I can speak for at least a handful of other Paizo employees), but I am a huge fan of the art in this book. That said, I think it's great that we are fortunate enough to work with so many fine illustrators that there are enough differing styles represented in the Pathfinder line to keep almost everyone happy.
