I have changed my mind. Elves dress only in the finest Balenciaga. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm6BlRMEny0

Elves are not human and therefore good only for genociding.

>>423 Light and loose to fit their physical form and combat styles

>>825 Dwarves aren't human either.

>>1242 Yeah but dwarves are cool.

>>1245 Dwarves are cool, unlike fuckdamn elves.

>>1245 >>1246 That's not what you said. You said "elves are not human and therefore good only for genociding. The statement leaves no room for disclaimers; not being human is worthy of genocide. This includes dwarves.

>>1272 I didn't say that. personally I think that elves are for breeding.

>>1273 You were rebutting a reply to 99cf91's post, and therefore defending his initial position that non humans are only good for genociding.

>>1274 Dwarves are basically human, close enough to where they can join in mankinds genocide crusade, whereas elves are effete womanly bitches, good only for practicing murder techniques upon.

>>1275 >Dwarves are basically human This is arbitrary. In most settings they are no closer to humans than elves are, and in some are less so. In the setting which modern fantasy writers all ripped-off, elves and humans are canonically branches of the same biological race.

>>1276 Theoretically so are niggers, and they sure as fuck ain't human. Therefore you are incorrect.

>>1283 And dwarves are? What are you even on about? Nothing you’ve said about elves wouldn’t apply to dwarves and vice versa. You just want to have your cake and eat it too, like a white nationalist with a negress girlfriend. Coward.

>>1301 >And dwarves are? Yes

>>1303 How so?

>>423 Drow would obviously wear spidersilk clothing but it's rare to actually find artwork depicting it

>>1324 Spidersilk is actually a great idea. They are all about spiders and spider web is super sturdy.

I really can't wait for a janny to permanently rangeban you and we can finally be free.

>>1324 Hawt.

I'll always be grateful to Red Ranger isekai for fusing my two fetishes, tanned elves and Ancient Egypt, into Raniya. My vote goes for Egyptian elves.

>>1318 Because their DWARVES. Duh.

>>1347 Just report him bro, I got you.

>>482 Love the idea of fantasy elves being pre-Christian pagans, I'm gonna have to include that in one of my games

>>433 but fantasy elves make toys at the north pole

>>1598 You'll have to be more specific. How are the fictional fantasy race dwarves "basically human" when in half the fantasy setting out there they explicitly aren't the same species as homosapiens?

Guys should I post an autistic amount of artwork I did of my cute redneck elf here, in drawthread or should I wait for an art thread related to campaign/PC art?

>>1799 Drawthread sounds like best option

>>1799 drawthread

>>1799 did you base that off that tumblr thread?? sick

>>1864 Huh? Does tumblr even exist today?! >>1801 >>1823 Aight, gonna dump my 'tism there

Fantasy elf clothes usually don't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. Like, why the fuck would people who live in a forest have long, flowing robes with enormous sleeves all made of thin material? Can you imagine trying to not tear gaping holes in all that fine stitching and lace while just walking from tree to tree every day? They would have to be super careful, because replacing that stuff would be especially difficult without sewing machines, assuming that they do not have textile mills hidden in the trees. Even if it were tough silk, can you imagine the stains? Silk stains like nothing else. And what the hell is with all the delicate filigree on every metal implement that they create? An elf would have to clean everything he uses with a toothbrush and polish every day. On top of that, have you ever heard of an elvish mine? Where are they even getting all those rare alloys? Elves should dress like people who live in forests actually dress--in very, very little, all of which is made of tough, simple leather and hides. If they have armour, it should be made of bamboo or bone to be light and to move easily. >>1777 That is why Christmas Elves are the only elves who should dress like they are from the Industrial Age. Make them look like they are in the Peaky Blinders, and put actual hidden knives on their ears.

>>1943 >why the fuck would people who live in a forest have long, flowing robes with enormous sleeves all made of thin material? Because they live in buildings in said forest, ala Rivendell? Not to mention all the times they’ve been depicted living in stone buildings. >Can you imagine trying to not tear gaping holes in all that fine stitching and lace while just walking from tree to tree every day? They would just walk across constructed bridges between trees, ala Lothlorien. >They would have to be super careful, because replacing that stuff would be especially difficult without sewing machines They have plenty of time to sew, being serially longevial >Even if it were tough silk, can you imagine the stains? Silk stains like nothing else. >And what the hell is with all the delicate filigree on every metal implement that they create? Aesthetics. >An elf would have to clean everything he uses with a toothbrush and polish every day. Plenty of time. >On top of that, have you ever heard of an elvish mine? Yes. >Where are they even getting all those rare alloys? Aside from mining, they could also get it via trade. >Elves should dress like people who live in forests actually dress--in very, very little, all of which is made of tough, simple leather and hides. If they have armour, it should be made of bamboo or bone to be light and to move easily. These are “wood elves”. Specifically the kind from Warhammer fantasy and TES. They are not the only kind, but they are already a thing. Your grievances over elf attire don’t make much sense.

>>1943 >Like, why the fuck would people who live in a forest have long, flowing robes with enormous sleeves all made of thin material? If you ever tried to go through a dense forest, you're gonna pick up tons of scratches and ticks if you're naked. >Sewing clothes >Washing >Textile manufacture Jood job! Now you learned why there are 200 year old elves that did nothing significant in their lives. >Where are they even getting all those rare alloys? Trade + inheritance >Elves should dress like people who live in forests actually dress You mean in jungles and hot climates? Also see => Wood Elves You seem to forget that elves make mundane look graceful and that makes them very magical. Also very small amount of people depict elves as Forest Diogenes. Those would be druids.

>>1943 >Can you imagine trying to not tear gaping holes in all that fine stitching and lace while just walking from tree to tree every day? Didn't read the rest of your post. The point of wearing hugely inconvenient clothes is to showcase how you: >A Can afford to wear such inconvenient clothes, as being all practical is for plebs and the lower people. >B To showcase how you can move carefully and elegantly around without stuff getting stuck, damaged or dirty. Often, high culture loves to do things inconveniently and overly complicated in order to show how cultured you are. Practicality arises from the need to survive, while you need to be on a high civilizatory level to willingly take inconvenience and wear it as a fashion. At the same time, it's more like a dumb cliché and you see elves wearing more practical clothes (still fashionable) when they actually go out.

>>423 the 3.x core books talk about elven clothing a little bit >prefer simple, comfortable clothes, especially in pastel blues and greens, and they enjoy simple yet elegant jewelry >prefer colorful clothes, usually with a green-and-gray cloak that blends well with the colors of the forest I see them wearing dyed bucks skin and furs, but also having fancier clothes made from plants or leather or silk. The clothes hylians wear in botw is pretty neat too. >>635 >That most definitely means sacrifices & purges had to have happened. that's cluster-b brain talking it much more likely means that they just don't have too many kids

>>3316 i feel vindicated seeing that this thread hasn't been bumped in five months after being kept artificially alive for three years
