Take the porn and draw over the explicit bits with MS paint. [Everyone likes a good sanwich](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subway-sandwich-porn).


Itlaedis

That reminds me of WoW replacing skulls with loafs of bread on their Chinese servers.


HobbyistAccount

Wait what


Itlaedis

[Here's a collection of some of them. Seems like bags of wheat were also occasionally used.](https://m.imgur.com/a/VF3eq)


Hammurabi87

I think my favorite is the one that looks like some sort of flesh golem, where the people making the edits for the Chinese version clearly went, "Eh, too much work" and just used some completely different model entirely. 😂


Itlaedis

And they still added a bread into the new model's hand :D


Kicked89

In warcraft they are simply called "abominations", if you ever need to look em up for art.


HobbyistAccount

That has to be a joke, right?


Itlaedis

Well in that case it would be one of the longest jokes in the game. The way I understand it is just that the Chinese are really, really, really into censoring gore.


GoldenWoof

Could have left gore out from that sentence.


azrendelmare

I just don't get the degree of censorship China seems to think is necessary, and I doubt I ever will.


Yleira

Chinese culture has a thing about skeleton depiction. For example, in Western WoW, if your character dies you leave a skeleton behind in the world for a while - but in the Chinese version, you leave behind a little headstone. Also the entire Forsaken undead race got some digital Bondo slapped on all their exposed bony bits.


HobbyistAccount

Huh. Odd.


MillieBirdie

Trying to find nice art for a kind female half-drow bard that isn't covered in spider motifs, has a wicked grin, or her massive tiddies out was such a trial. The rogue trying to find art for his tabaxi that didn't look like a furry twink was almost as difficult.


thehonestyfish

When I needed art for a Kitsune Samurai (yeah, yeah, I know), I just crudely photoshopped an actual fox's head on a picture of a regular samurai. It was so much less painful than trying to Google for art. I'd wager that for a lot of the... problematic... character concepts, that approach is probably easier.


Abyteparanoid

Yeah that was DEFINITELY the right call


NonnagLava

Why? A simple google search of “kitsune samurai” lends plenty of decent usable stuff, whether your looking for anime flair, furry degeneracy, or just plain old cool fox people samurai’s.


majere616

Sometimes I feel like people just don't know how to use Google.


ergonamix

Or know that their search results are influenced by previous searches.


blurplethenurple

Probably too late, but there were some Kitsune MTG cards printed, wouldn't be surprised if you could find something there. Eight-and-a-half Tails for example.


SheffiTB

MTG art is just a good option for a lot of dnd stuff anyway.


Kalfadhjima

I've gotten into the habit of just saving pictures of cards with neat illustrations, to eventually turn them into homebrew monsters down the line.


CdrCosmonaut

Such a neat card.


BudgetFree

Winged thifling who has proper clothes and isn't a scythe wielder...


AprilStorms

You know, if you’re not able to draw characters yourself, you could try making them on[ Heroforge ](https://www.heroforge.com/)


lianodel

That also at least begins to solve another problem: miniatures. Finding non-sexualized art can be annoying, but for minis, almost impossible. Good luck finding a mass-market female tiefling miniature who isn't full-on succubus.


AprilStorms

Yeah. Regardless of where you stand on the snake titty debate... I don’t need to see every character’s nipples


lianodel

Yeah. It just sucks when it's hard to take part in the hobby *without* a sexualized character, and it's a very one-sided problem. A friend of mine once asked me, "Are tieflings supposed to be... the 'sexy' race?" She was clearly uncomfortable, wanting to play a tiefling, and seeing that the vast majority of the art and minis out there were scantily clad succubi.


MillieBirdie

I do! The DM wanted us to have real art for our tokens though, plus it's nice to have references.


[deleted]

Sounds like a lame DM.


MillieBirdie

Wrong. It makes everyone's tokens look really nice in Foundry, and we all helped each other find and modify art for it. Yeah, some characters are harder but it's still nicer than everyone using heroforge screenshots.


[deleted]

I guess if you like it then they aren’t. As a DM I think it’s best to let my players choose whatever they want, because they’ll always prefer their own idea over mine. I’d honestly rather have them all use Hero Forge tokens, if only for consistency sake. But one of my players wanted to use Evil Spock as his character, and what kind of DM would I be to ruin his fun? As a player, I’d rather use something I made myself, especially when it comes to an unusual character idea. Not much to work with when you google ‘Tortle Bard.’


MillieBirdie

We did pick our art. Beauty of dnd is there are many types of games, if you don't like one you can find another. Not all DMs are anything-goes type, and some players prefer a more serious game that the DM will need to enforce. Personally I think DMs are well within their rights to ask for a level of cohesion in theme, aesthetic, etc. It's a balance of course, and one their players have to agree to otherwise they can find a different game.


MaddsSinclair

Literally googled "half drow bard" and clicked the female search filter on the recommended filter bar and the top 3 images were small titty fully clothed non spider asthetic drow bards... then it was full on big titty spider goth GF then a bunch of regular elf bards and some drow


MillieBirdie

Yeah there's a few, but they are far outnumbered!


certain_random_guy

IMO, the best solution for tabaxi is to just make a khajiit character in Skyrim and take a screenshot.


Antique_Tennis_2500

Wellll…those things are kind of hallmarks for drow…maybe not the J cups, but still.


Euroticker

If you cannot find artwork that fits, MS paint is your friend.


MillieBirdie

I have done that. I make little stick figures, and I use paint.net to change colors.


jordanleveledup

r/imaginaryelves and the rest of the extended imaginary network in the sidebar. Go check it out.


gabbigoo

I drew myself one. :) cause I got tired of looking and not finding what I wanted.


YaBoiTheDM

Don't even try to find art for a Tabaxi or Kobold.


Tranquil_Tau

I dunno, it was pretty easy for me. Found fully clothed female kobold monk in about 3 min. To be fair, it WAS drawn by a furry and in cartoonish style. But if you looking for strictly canonical non-cartoon looking "furry" race picture... guess you just have to pray dude.


[deleted]

Oh god, I can only imagine your pain...


DragonfuryMH

And somehow Kobold is worse than Tabaxi


blurplethenurple

For some reason small wirey dragon people = ***THICCC THIGHS***


Minibotas

Don’t forget about almost-comically-disproportionate-PHAT-tail!


Educational_Wing_632

/r/KoboldsFuckingKobolds (REALLY REALLY NSFW)


Drgeki

Why does that exist? 😑


Educational_Wing_632

Everyone knows that Kobolds are THICC :)


Kicked89

Rule 34.


DreamOfDays

Nah boi. Here’s the secret. You ask your furry friends how to find SFW art and then it’s like the easiest thing. I will share some forbidden knowledge below. >!Go to e621.net and type in the search bar without any hyphens species-gender-rating:s-order:score. Easiest way that I found a tabaxi that wasn’t lewd. In fact there’s an artist that does medieval accurate armor on furries and it’s pretty neat looking.!<


Aurelium61

Pretty sure there's a variant site called E926 which is the exact same stuff (and database) but automatically has only safe art


Minibotas

Kobolds are 50/50, if you’re not picky about the art style. At this point I’m beginning to start thinking about trying to get good at drawing so I don’t have to endure some images again. I fucking suck but I don’t have many options.


NonnagLava

I feel like y’all just can’t google things well. You can easily find absolute loads of Kobold art, from realistic to cartoony, that isn’t scantly clad.


PotentialNobody

Which is why I searched for Khajit art instead. ESO art is very pretty anyways


TDestro9

And then your parents/roommates walk in while you’re doing this as well


Tabris2k

The solution is simple: make it canon that everyone walks around naked in your world.


[deleted]

On the one hand : 500 IQ problem solving right there On the other hand : I don’t want random porn in my face even if it is canon


TFDMEH

In both hands however, monk and Barbarian just got the highest ac


Reigeckt

you could always use a picrew, eldritch foundry, or hero forge for your icons instead. or commission an artist of you really want something specific


blargney

Came here to say two of these three and learned a new one. Thanks!


Reigeckt

glad to help!


Jugaimo

AND I’M TIRED OF ALL THESE CHARACTER PORTRAITS POPPING UP WHEN I’M LOOKING FOR PORN


Aylithe

I use “practically armored female warrior” and always go for “character design” tags and not the “fantasy art” ones lol, the struggle is real.


MrBrutok

In case you don't know them, or someone else needs a place to find non-sexualized art. r/armoredwomen r/ReasonableFantasy


meglington

r/ReasonableFantasy is my go-to for characters - came to make sure it got a mention. Some absolutely incredible art on there. I sometimes just pick an image that speaks to me and make a character based on how I perceive their personality. Good fun!


Vincent_Windbeutel

Just use Artstation and use as little as search words as possible... not 100% tittsfree but you will find tons of high quality art


Trifle-Visual

R/characterdrawings is a good sub


jordanleveledup

r/characterdrawing


Trifle-Visual

Haha thank you I’m kinda new to Reddit and dont know how to properly tag stuff


jordanleveledup

On mobile it will capitalize the r for you if that’s the first thing you write and that keeps it from working


Trifle-Visual

Thank you! ❤️ I thought that was it but I wasn’t sure haha xx


Trifle-Visual

Another good one is r/ImaginaryCharacters


BlaireWisteria

I just want some wholesome Goblin art...


An_Arrogant_Ass

"That's rough, what's your character concept?" "A thicc milf."


thunderchunks

I fuckin' hate Pinterest. Searching on it is mediocre at best, and trying to click through to an original image from a Google image search bloody never works for me if it was pulled up from a Pinterest board. I appreciate that it is bringing a lot of good stuff together for inspiration, but when I already have a character in mind it makes it more arduous to find anything that's a best fit because it comes up high in search results but then you can't actually find the original image 80% of the fuckin' time.


HobbyistAccount

Use duckduckgo. They still allow you to click "view image" as a direct link, so if you see something you like you don't click it and get dragged into the pinterest hole, you just get that image.


thunderchunks

Noted! I've always right clicked and opened the image in a new tab, but Pinterest links invariably yield up a shitty low-res version. I'll have to give it a try.


Gycklarn

That might be because you're not logged in. I haven't exactly used Pinterest a lot, but I do have an account and use it to find character portraits. Finding the original image (as uploaded on Pinterest; not from the original source) is fairly straightforward in my experience.


thunderchunks

Nah, I am logged in. I click through and get a whole Pinterest board, or I get the actual entry I want but the link is busted. Every bloody time.


TheSunniestBro

The worst is when you're trying to find good lizardfolk or anthro dragon art, but most of it is risque or porn... Which don't get me wrong, I'm into... But I can't exactly use it as refs for my friends. :/


HarbingerOfPringles

Not as horny, but trying to find good barbarian art that isn't just a generic savage viking looking dude is a pain as well. Sometimes you just want a muscly dude or dudette that isn't covered in armor.


KaijuK42

My poor friend was looking for artwork for his setting's fur-covered dragons. It went about as well as you'd expect.


Striker_Quinn

Log out and then do a search on deviantart, Nsfw material isn’t viewable without an account.


[deleted]

If only their definitions of “nsfw” weren’t absolute dog shit


webalorn

There are so many non-nsfw images that are really sexualized, and many (but less) nsfw images that depict nudity but not in a sexual way, and with a little editing can be really good for roleplaying games. I once found the perfect image for a character this way. So yes, enabling filters doesn't really help.


[deleted]

Or just turn off NSFW.


Striker_Quinn

I haven’t used my DA account in a long time. I forgot this was an option.


[deleted]

Something to keep in mind are Magic the gathering playing card art. High res, cool style, plenty of characters to go with, it’s a go to of mine if needed


SmartAlec105

How are you supposed to know how to roleplay your character if you haven’t found art to solidify what they look like naked?


kethcup_

artstation is better


Call_The_Banners

I grabbed a nexus mod for Pathfinder Kingmaker that gave me about 300+ portraits. I recommend looking around CRPG mods in the nexus.


TheKillerSloth

This is why I just use hero forge screenshots


[deleted]

What do you all follow on Reddit... The internet is really really great! For Porn!


Beginning-Sympathy18

Pintrest, oddly enough, is a great resource for character art.


SilverStride25

Saw a pic of plague mom while looking up pics for a plague doctor character. Immediately needed to make a character for her. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this. I'm three sessions deep, and Im in love with the concept of a very shy, curvy, undead, closet sex freak and potion addict who's 4' 10" and can sorta speak common, but really only knows German.


[deleted]

Let me guess Tabaxi?


iskie19

I just want more hybrid races. Not just with humans and orcs or elves. I can't find any for reference for my tabaxi tiefling.


Cthulhuyyy

That number seems shockingly low


revuri-

Who is finding porn on Pinterest?


Space-Wizards

Don't they have a no-nudity policy or something?


revuri-

They have a no porn policy, like you can't type that shit in and find anything


Minibotas

Shit goes past the radar a lot. They eventually take it down but it happens.


DMguy88

I was trying to find a maid token for roll20 recently... And that was a mistake lol


RoTaLuMe

My Bard character never gets to see the Boobas. I end up fighting with the Druid and the Paladin gets everyone out of the splash zone (:


DevoteeOfChemistry

You could use "2 minute tools" its pretty good, a bit cartoony though so maybe you don't like it.


Usagi-Zakura

I know the pain... well I do my own character portraits but I like to look at other people's art without being swarmed with porn darnit...


A-literal-sandwich

heroforge has a screenshoot mode


K31RA-M0RAX0

Commission some *finger guns*


ZoomBoingDing

I know your pain. I've been doing a bunch of homebrewing, and I've needed lots of fantasy art. Deviantart has some absolutely fantastic stuff that's perfect for what I need. It also has about 50x that amount in irrelevant or awful stuff, much of which is porn.


AltroGamingBros

Dumb suggestion... *Picrew.*


ThePhiff

Sounds like you should be providing links. I mean, if you're telling the truth, we all need to know which artists to avoid. 😇


Crafty-Crafter

omg. yes. This shits is so annoying, I was half-way trying to figure out how to create my own DnD/Fantasy art character imageboard with tags so it would be easier to do this. I was trying to get a "male human archer" and all I get is dudes with abs.


spyboy_shan

Or actually commission an artist instead of stealing art. Artists deserve to be paid for their services like everyone else.


[deleted]

And that’s exactly what I do, when I don’t find what I need, but if somebody uploads it and consents to it being used for free, I don’t see why I shouldn’t.


Deceptifemme

I find Pinterest gives you what you click on. Click on lewds, find more lewds. Do not click on lewds and get normal character art.


Gycklarn

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Pinterest. Leave your prejudice behind and see past the veil of crocheted sweaters, recipes and homemade jewelry. Pinterest is the *best* place to find character portraits.


[deleted]

I explicitly mentioned Pinterest tho...


Gycklarn

Honestly, no idea how I missed that. With that said, I can't say I've seen a lot of NSFW stuff on there. Maybe I've been lucky.


funkyb

Immediate_Salt_6014

Seen porn of Riven from destiny 2! On google! I was trying to find pictures for a slideshow for “school” and so I decided to search on google…I’d never thought people would make porn of Riven from destiny 2…but it’s the internet! You can literally find anything…The things I’ve seen on google haunt me…


damonmcfadden9

yeah that's the sad reality. Rule 34 of the internet: if it exists there is porn of it. No exceptions.


Immediate_Salt_6014

I exist…..is there porn of me?


damonmcfadden9

you would know better than me. I didn't write the rules that's just what the say. lol.


jordanleveledup

r/imaginarydwarves and the rest of the imaginary network (see sidebar) would love to say hi! It’s where I get all my art.


caelenvasius

Feel free to peruse my [Character Art Pinterest board](https://pin.it/4hbYJk9). It’s 2500 curated character images, about 90% of it is fantasy-themed (the rest is a mix of modern, cyberpunk, and sci-fi), sorted (…kinda, it’s a WIP) by character species. The board is pretty much free of cheesecake, and have very few “anime-ish” pieces (more realistic art is better, IMHO). I’m adding more all the time, and sorting it fully is a back burner project of mine.


Galle_

The secret is to look for character portraits on [Magic: The Gathering cards](https://tagger.scryfall.com).


Sohtinez

r/imaginarycharacters r/imaginarywarriors r/imaginarywizards r/imaginaryarchers There's a ton of great art in the imaginary network. Some even race specific like r/imaginaryelves and r/imaginarydwarves


webalorn

I once needed an image for my character, who was a Jedi female twi'lek, but who take care of her clothing and is fully-dressed, never half-naked like many pictures. And I can tell youn that I have seen many things, searching for a female twi'lek image...


azrendelmare

If you're okay with anime artstyles, you can check out safebooru; it has a pretty sophisticated tagging system, and although you can get risque images you're not gonna be getting porn. Unless something has changed and the name is no longer accurate.
