Trollbabe Desktop: Who ordered the cheesecake?

[John Harper]

Take one naked woman, a big horn sheep, and a website for ren-fair accessories and what do you get? No, not that you sick monkey! You get the Trollbabe Desktop (1024x768, 156k). And no, she's not naked anymore, so it's safe for work. If shameless scale-mail bikini-type cheesecake is considered "safe" that is.

I realize that Trollbabe is not just about oggling the Large Women, so I included Deep, Meaningful elements in the piece as well. See how many you can spot!

[Clinton R. Nixon]

I seriously can't decide whether or not I like this. The lady's not big enough, for one thing. :)

Your ability to merge naked women with big horn sheep is damn impressive and frightening, though.

Y'know, one doesn't expect to see something like that typed outside of a sci-fi novel, comic, or roleplaying game. Jurgen, another quote for your file! ;-)

Still, cool picture, although she does need to be more Xena: Warrior Princess. And could you add just a little bit of sun? These poor people you put in these pictures never get enough sunlight! Always with the clouds and lightning... ;-)

[John Harper]

There just aren't enough pics of larger naked women that happen to have their hands in a position to draw a sword.  And yes, I did look for the "large women pretending to draw a sword" fetish sites. Nada. I swear the Internet is useless.

And Spooky is right... more Xena is needed. I'm off to track down a breastplate.

It's the arm showing. Beef it up some. This is obviously one of them "model" type Trollbabes. The kickass types have bigger shoulders and arms.

I don't care what any of you say, she's hot, I want her...on my desktop! She's obviously one of those sorcerously inclined Trollbabes, hence the lighter build.

Now I just have to find a matching dark sepia-toned Desktop style.

Oh, and I found one of the many meaningful elements in the composition: the wedding ring! This is obviously being used to indicate the meaningful use of relationships as a central mechanic in the game!

Too much soft underbelly exposed for my tastes.  I do like the horns.

[John Harper]

Yeah... Greyorm gets the prize. The wedding ring is my nod to the relationship mechanic.

I have some ideas for tweaks to this pic, so expect to see an altered version soon (less cheese, more oomph).

[John Harper]

Okay, I did a new version of the Trollbabe desktop. Not much has changed, except I think the babe looks a bit more intimidating now, and less cheesy. I hope.

Anyway, I put two different versions up on the new page I made for all of the Forge desktop images. Check it out here:

Trollbabe looks much nicer now. I especially like the second picture, with the woods and the sunlight.

The sun was just for you, Spooky. Strangely, adding sunlight causes the image to become darker. :)

[greyorm]

Not too surprising, John. Since the sun is the brightest area (and large), the other bright areas (the flesh tones) seem dimmed in comparison. I suspect that if you were to bare her midriff again, the picture would (appear to) substantially brighten.

In fact, I prefer the bare midriff in the original (storm-background) image as it creates more balanced tones of light and dark in the whole, rather than blending everything into a darker shade.

[John Harper]

Actually, I was making a (lame) joke. She appears darker not only because of the contrast and change in costume, but because she has two dark Overlay and Multiply layers blended on top of her. It was done intentionally to help her match the background... even though if she was "really" there, she would probably be nothing but a silhouette.

[greyorm]

Darn those inside jokes that need context to be understood! lol

[Nev the Deranged]

Where can I get the naked version?


Seriously, the art on that page is all cool.  I have the Sorcerer one on my desktop currently... I might trade it out for one of the others after a while, they're all neat.  It's a nice break from the suggestive anthropomorphic desktops images I usually have =>
