A bit of a vexation for me, is that when I look for art to use for my Myth-Weavers D&D PC "sheets", for the men I find pages and pages of scowling steroids abusers who look as if they weigh 300 pounds, and are enduring a bad smell.

I think the trend started first with Dwarves and WarHammer Space Marines (and their elephant scale feet).

In terms of potential women PC illustrations, besides the issues cited already, even when a woman is pictured wearing suitable full armor, for some strange reason she is wearing high stiletto heels, with tiny tiny feet in contrast to the men pictured who seem to have boots that are 7 times the size!

C'mon! Men and women IRL are just not scaled that far apart!

Besides other crimes against human scale proportions, women are often illustrated with tiny child sized boots/shoes, and men are pictured having boots sized for rhinos and elephants!

That cracks me up.
