g33k Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I rather liked that chainmail-clad knight/steed combo styopa posted back on 4 April, and it prompted me to look up the artist "Bob Giadrosich" -- I quite like his other, more-fantasy stuff, too, and would love to see almost anything from him, on any subject comissioned, in any RQ/Glorantha book!

TrippyHippy Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So, will we be getting a highly detailed, full colour map of a Gloranthan female or not? .....I'll get my coat...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 <heh> In the context of art/illustration, "map" would seem to be the wrong word. However RPG-usage of "map" has borrowed all sorts of interesting new meanings from psych, lit, etc... frankly, "a highly detailed, full colour map of a Gloranthan -- female or not" in these broader senses might be rather interesting & worthwhile!

styopa Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 For someone artistically inclined, and considering the Guide calls out specific body-areas that have to do with the various runes, I could certainly see a Gloranthan art-piece like Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, but with the runic associations diagrammed. That's sort of a map, no? And would the map be appreciably different if it was a female than a male? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) "Esrolian Woman"? Especially if an artist could get a nice "gloranthafi-cation" of the DaVinci piece... homage to both.

GamingGlen Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (sorry for the late posting as I just signed on) I missed out on getting the Guide the Glorantha. I'd like to see scenes of various activities that also includes the clothing styles of various peoples. A market square of a city along a trade route would show many different people. It's been a long time since I played RQ2, but isn't there some place that many of the nomads of Prax get together every so often? A scene as if standing on a distant hill, perhaps from behind the observers, would show the different tribal housing styles. What does The Block look like? (this might need to be a fish-eyed angle of view) Is it truly a perfect rectangle or more like a splinter with many jagged contours? (try to climb THAT, you modern day rock climbers!)

I wouldn't want to see ANY artist's cheesecake (unless it was actually RELEVANT to Glorantha (and maybe not even then: what would there be about "Gloranthan Cheescake" --what would it show us about Glorantha -- that would make the image worth the space that could be devoted to a less-revealing / more-revelatory image?). But Giadrosich does lots of non-cheesecake... The style(s) shown in any of these images might well suit a Gloranthan publication, I think... http://heroineimages.tumblr.com/post/115698549564/dtk-womenwarriors-art-by-bob-giadrosich http://www.xiangbalastudio.com/ http://www.infectedbyart.com/Images/Category_194/subcat_218/1801140625211.jpg Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
