I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a nice slice of Valeros every so often.
Because....you know....he's hot.
Just sayin'
Mmmm, yummy. What? All I'm saying is that Valeros is easy on the eyes. ;)

I have votes in for Sajan and Seltyiel as my cabana boys. Valeros is a fine addition too.
I have a sneaking suspition that Lilith loves the Seoni art as much as any of the rest of us.
Indeed. :)
I feel so cheap.
I know what you mean. When are women going to quit seeing us as sex objects? We have brains too. ;)

Seconded!
And James, Sarah, you hear this? Folks are pretty much Begging me to write an art order featuring Seltyiel with his shirt off. See, not for me. For the readers.

Please see this thread for why, yes, d7 might have a valid argument to consider: Go to Paizo Publishing.
I'm glad that, at least by this point in the thread, people are observing that beefcake art might have been equally appropriate from a politically liberal gaming company.
Seltyiel uses my Total Sunblock. Rather effective, what-what?

First off, Paizo should do what makes Paizo money while respecting their fanbase. If it makes sense to have naked men running around, then they should do it. If the do it to prove a political philosophy, well, that seems like a road that can easily lead to madness.
Now, as to d7 having a valid argument, I can't agree. Had the point been, "Paizo should have more male beefcake shots just to make everyone happy," then yeah, that's a valid opinion to express. The point that was made though was that Paizo is exploiting women, has had a history of exploiting women, and is probably racist on top of everything else. That's just trying to drum up controversy.

I don't know, maybe he does. The fact that he bolstered his edit comment by calling Tarren Dei a "self important jerk" kinda makes me feel like his whole riff is set up to arbitrarily dictate the results of whatever argument transpires. He trolled his own damn blog from the get go, and then, with glasses dangling on the end of his nose, deigned to counsel all of the unwashed benighted paizonians how to comment on his enlightened blog thread. So "self important jerk?" Hello, kettle. This is pot.

I thought it was great--I think we need to keep in mind the array of the iconics: Yes, Seoni is super sexy, but she is only *one* of the awesome iconics (Desna bless Wayne Reynolds)... anyway, and as a whole, they span a wide array of archtypes--which is how they were intended, ya? Does she appear in a lot of Pathfinder imagery? Yes, but they all do. ... In this case I also think part of the look of the artwork gives a great kind of tongue in cheek nod to Americana: the vintage nose art off of warplanes (via Vargas) and many other classic holiday images ... 'cause we're all adults here, right? Surely we have better things to do this season than bicker over POV!

I'm still amazed that none of you have caught the feminist sub-text of that image. Seoni is dressed up as santa. Santa is a fat man who slides down chimneys, invading the hearth and home (a feminine domain in our culture) to empty his sack producing lots of joyful children -- a prioritization of the male role in procreation if I've ever heard one. Santa is sexist. Seoni is producing a radical parody of that.
I for one wish Paizo would stop sending out feminist Christmas cards while I'm trying to enjoy my holidays!
EDIT: Also, Seoni's hot.

He does have purple armor and a wide stance also. Who said Barbarians have to be butch.

This is so . . . absurd, as to defy credulity. I hardly know where to begin.
First, according to that blog post, the person has a Paizo account for the Pathfinder Beta rules. That would generally suggest the person is completely unaware of the iconics other than any appearances in that book.
Of course the entry ends with noting that Paizo is "known" for such things, which seems to suggest some sort of exposure to the content of Paizo products.
For proof of that, just look at this thread. Seriously people, if you want to prove someone without a point might have some vague legitimacy you could not do better than some of the over the top stuff being thrown about to try and "rebut" him here and in his blog.
Then of course there is his link to his other blog entry about "white privilege". Excuse me while I disembowel myself out of sheer guilt at being lighter skinned. Oh wait, that's right, I am Jewish, never mind. No wait, I get to be condemned for other things, I forgot. Excuse me instead while I projectile barf until my floor is coated with my intestines. I could rant about that for several dozen pages. Then again, I am the person who regularly points out that racially speaking, Greyhawk has Semites or Hellenes (Oeridians are olive-skinned) as the primary good guys, Nordics (Suloise are very pale, albeit very slim) as the primary bad guys and savages, and Africans (the Flan are copper- to bronze-skinned, which is more African that Native American) as the marginalized middle types that everyone gravitates to anyway, with some bizarre Asians (the Baklunish are golden yellow, not actual Asian "yellow") on the fringe. Of course culturally they are supposed to be something else, but never let a good racial conspiracy get in the way of actual text.
The picture is worth a raised eyebrow.
The blog is worth two.
Ranting about it just lends it legitimacy.
Feh.

Yes--now that would be most compelling ... of course it would *have* to be the Andoran flag ;)

Nay, not Seoni. Amiri!
Bored now!!!
Time to put this topic down.
Lightning bolt to the back of the head.
Time to put this topic down.
I agree!
I found it to be a funny card cause a made up person is dressed up as another made up person! HAHA!

ROFL...
wait..santa claus isn't real?
*runs off and cries*
Santa Claus is a real PrC, which Seoni has 5 levels of. She's looking forward to the next level, when she can teleport down multiple chimneys simultaneously.

Would it be wrong if I went onto that blog and said "Hi I'm Kevin Mack welcome to earth."
Seriously I decided to do a little test since this thing is supposed to be so offensive to females I asked several of my female relatives (9 in all) to have a look at it. None of them found it offensive one actually commented with "Oh please you see more skin on the front cover of the daily star."
What's the runes on that sword?
I could have sworn I saw 'YMCA'...I read "GAY BOY - YMCA". Seriously. That's what it says.
EDIT: No, wait. It's GAY BEAR YMCA. Start at the hilt and work down, rotating and reversing the letters. hehehe.
Dammit, you're right!
Speaking of Matt Dixon, I found this pic hilarious.
It is hilarious, and also a little disturbing. Might be the huuuuge sword. Or the codpiece. Seriously. It's bulging and has studs on it. And something that looks a lot like a piercing is dangling underneath. Makes you wonder whether that's part of the armour.
I feel so cheap.I know what you mean. When are women going to quit seeing us as sex objects? We have brains too. ;)
I'm tired of being a sex object! Whenever I offer sex, women object!
Surely we have better things to do this season than bicker over POV!Amen. *goes back to make more Pathfinder fan art*
Hm.... does it involve the queen?
