    Woman in Shadow Era

    I'd like to see some less sexual takes on woman in shadow era, it seems like everyone of them is portrayed in a sexual half dressed manner and I think it would be good to have a modest take on them.

    The artwork for Aramia from the upcoming set is a good and modest depiction of a female mage imo.

    Yes that's true. I love the art in those too.

    I think the new female artwork is looking really great! Seems they are taking a more subtle approach to the sexy female.

    In SF they do certainly be seeming to take a less sexual approach to the female cards for sure. Although one thing I also will mention lore wise that was said by Nachyo in an episode of State of the Era (waaaay long ago, lol), is that the female characters really aren't portrayed story-wise as stereotypical female characters, but instead are equal to any other character, but just happen to be female. Probably why SF arts for female cards so far are less sexual, but also keep in mind that art wise, for earlier sets, Wulven probably had to go with whatever arts they could get for the most part back then.

    I would definitely agree, the most played cards generally have very revealing art. I honestly see it as a clever business move since many gamers like to see attractive women like that. It is nice to see a change in the art direction though.

    I like the sexual takes... (guess you could argue for LESS than half-dressed moving forward)

    I'm sure my wife would rather see Aramia in my game than Jasmine...
