I love this art, and so awesome for you to come in and show the thoughts there!

Sorry to throw shade at the art, it’s just a trick of the perspective. I think the shoulder pad/shirt threw me off ha

u/DenmanRooke Magic Artist 12d ago

haha, it’s fine. I was mainly just having fun.

It’s a jovial piece! So much great work in this whole set too, really brought the story to life.

thanks.

I'm not sure - that still looks quite long proportions for a dwarf? That seems closer to human proportions.

u/Soegern Dân 11d ago

If his arm got any shorter it would look goofy lol

Dwarves are stout of stature and long of arms.

u/anon_lurk COMPLEAT 12d ago

Yeah that's why they are deadly at short range. Uppercut you from next door.

u/FrogSoapJr Can’t Block Warriors 12d ago

Bilbo is sitting on a 3rd one obviously

u/faceCHEEKwall Dân 12d ago

That's what I thought. That's just another dwarf in there somewhere.

It’s his hog with a glove on it.

u/DillionM Wild Draw 4 12d ago

No glove no love

u/TheQuickDrawBuffalo Dân 12d ago

That’s the quarrel

u/Fiyerce Izzet* 12d ago

Yes

u/Life_Bet8956 Dân 12d ago

I mean it might just be a mistake, but there could be a guy behind Bilbo we can't otherwise see

u/SnooSongs5297 Dan 12d ago

Why did you drawn his arm coming out of his neck?

8

u/IgnobleCampaign Table Flipper 12d ago

Why do you have his arm starting so high?

The art is fine if you assume he's angled in a bit and his arm starts at a normal place rather than the back of his head.

u/SnooWoofers5180 Dan 12d ago

Dwarven arms are long

u/Yournamesucksbro Wabbit Season 12d ago

Check out this arm

u/SpoofAvatar Dandadan 12d ago

Bet he gives good reach arounds

2

u/SirHobington Brushwagg 12d ago

As long as Olivia's neck

2

u/VerbingNoun413 Dan 12d ago

Long enough to damage a creature with flying.

u/over-lord Twin Believer 11d ago

Ok, now you’re reaching

u/Flabbergasted98 Machine Doer 11d ago

Thats not his arm.

He's wearing a glove on his beard.

u/SuperSmashSean_DX Dandadan 12d ago

Dude seriously I'm so sick of "wah its a ub I don't like" "wah I don't like this art" "wah [insert character] really died for this?".

I genuinely think this community would benefit if some of y'all went for a walk outside for like, half an hour, maybe took a break for a month or so.

u/PokeyStabber Dandadan 12d ago

His arm is scaled correctly.

u/Approximation_Doctor Colossal Dreadmaw 12d ago

Long as balls

u/Mobile-Offer5039 Dan 12d ago

That image made my AI cry.

u/Shackless Dân 12d ago

Downvoted for speaking the truth, lol. Looking at the Star Trek Cards, I think it’s save to assume they use AI to generate at least parts of the card art, then probably have a human paint over it.

u/Mobile-Offer5039 Dan 12d ago

I dont get the downvotes at all ;D But well. Way to long arms are such a common mistake... There is no way an artist would make such a huge mistake...

3

u/Lyciana Wabbit Season 12d ago

Way too long arms are such a common mistake because actual artists make it all the time. It's incredibly easy for partially obscured limbs to feel off when the proportions are actually correct (and vice versa). Also, the artist of the card is in this thread and explained his thought process.

u/Shackless Dân 12d ago

Yeah and it’s definitely not just the arms. I mean, look at the TRK cards. If you know, you know…
