ChaosWolf: Fun fact - these four ladies have shown up elsewhere. Three of them (Breehan the strawberry-blonde, Donallyd the redhead, and Eilorad the blonde), are original creations who have been in previous artworks of Malcolm's, while the tanned brunette with the tiara is the unnamed William O'Connor-designed dwarven lass from the 4E Monster Manual - the one that caused such a stir in the fandom for actually being attractive instead of the "plain and homely" dwarven women of past editions.
ChaosWolf: It's the facial expressions really make this one - that drew my eye before the nudity did, which surprised even me... a testament to how well the artist portrayed them. It's not too hard to figure out a personality for them, and maybe even imagine what they might be thinking as the picture was taken...
Breehan: "Sharindlar bless yeh... stop by th' temple again later, lad, and I'll 'bless' yeh personally, if yeh wish..." Talk about a laying-on of hands... amen, sister, amen!
Donallyd: "See, boyo? There's nae a thing on me chin - this is where a dwarven lass keeps her beard!" Bold and to the point - can't argue with evidence like that.
4E Dwarf (for some reason the name "Moira" comes to mind): "Yes, yes, let's just get this over with - I'm very busy, and my time is precious..." Ah, the consummate professional, eh?
Eilorad: "Eheh, ah, me boyfriend isnae gonna be seein' these pictures, is he? Would be a wee bit embarassin'..." The classic sexy-wallflower - shy everywhere but the bedroom.
I daresay this is probably Malcolm's best dwarven image yet.
