Is that the debate about shape alone, or just whether fake ones are acceptable?


Actually, as a bit of an aside, because I just thought about it so to hell with whether it is relevant to this thread! TO HELL I SAY!

*ahem*
I kind of wonder if these painting videos featuring women on the cover might actually be pretty beneficial to bringing more women into the hobby as a whole. I can imagine a female going into a game store with her male and seeing these videos by the register and thinking to herself "Huh, girls actually do this stuff? And are really good at it? Maybe there is something to it." Not in those exact words of course, but in general. After all, people are more comfortable with new things when they see people like them doing it, especially if the people like them are appealing in some way (attractive, powerful etc.), and even more so if the people like them are respected by the rest of the group. Sparks that "I could be like that" feeling that marketing people probably have a much better phrase for than I do.

I don't know, might just be wishful thinking, but I think a lot more girls would be interested in gaming if it wasn't predominantly seen as a hobby for fat and nerdy guys. Showing attractive women who are involved in the hobby and in fact somewhat revered for their contributions (such that people are willing to make and buy videos of them painting) might go a long way towards that.

I hope she's a better teacher than Natalya.

Well I'm certainly not going to debate non-circular boobs!

I prefer more egg shaped myself. Emu egg shaped, if possible.

Edit: Should have looked up what the buggers are actually shaped like before I opened my mouth... like a football with a baby inside.

Let's go with ostrich eggs instead.

Hey, I wasn't gonna judge your preference of football boobs.

Thats it! I'm going to release a painting video and I'm going to hire Cannerus for the cover

thats right

youll be staring at a leather clad male CROTCH that will not only be on the cover but at the background of every single frame

None of the girls on the covers even break a 5.5/10, why would anyone even bother getting them?

Congratulations, Dakka, on again showing why women aren't interested in wargaming.

I think I'll wait for a review of that DVD from that guy in those absurd t-shirts.

Speaking of painting videos, I was on the fence about the JH one, but this one just made me decide to keep my money.

Bunch of pervs LOL

Its a painting tutorial if you want boobs buy something else

I personally don't understand why it is so expensive LOL

These videos tend to be expensive overall because they are time intensive to make, with both the painter and the studio producing them having to get together and spend a lot of time doing the painting, then even more time after that editing all the video and audio.

On top of that, it's a niche market to begin with.

That's the complaint I heard about Natalya's video. That she didn't go into detail about what she was doing, what colors she was using, and so on.

Perhaps they'll have this newest video running at their booth at GenCon and I can see for myself.

Dark SwordMiniatures - Masterworks Miniature Painting with Jen Haley and
Anne Foerster - 3 DVD Tutorial Set -

Ooh. Anne Foerster! She does a lot of work with Reaper miniatures

I think I've decided on a GenCon purchase!

I don't think the DVD covers are helping the situation or doing any favours. They're a blatant targeting of a certain demographic if ever i did see it.

I think you are attaching too much importance to the covers.

I can't believe how you make such discussions for a single cleavage.

Ouze wrote:Congratulations, Dakka, on again showing why women aren't interested in wargaming.

Women aren't interested in wargaming because there are painting tutorials with a cover that shows the barest hint of cleavage and people comment about it?

In all seriousness, I won't be buying this DVD or anything to do with Jennifer Haley, I've had more then a few negative experiences with her in the past and have zero interest in supporting anything she does

DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE REAL CLEAVAGE IS IN THE HOBBY?!

It is time to move on from comments pertaining to anatomy, grade scales for attractiveness, preferences in potential mates/dates, bad (or good) puns/jokes/etc.

In other words, all off topic stuff.

Consider this an Official Public Warning to stay on topic.

So, do we know a release date -apart from that GenCon- for the DVD release at the CMON store?

She looks uncomfortable in the picture.

I wonder why we did not see Brandon looking sultry on the cover of the GMM studios DVD? Or did I just not see the 'special calendar edition' of his tutorial?

I am an admirer of her work and wonder why she and Natalya (who's work I am unfamiliar with) were put on the cover as they were. Or rather, I am likely fully aware to the reason but am puzzled about it.


Wehrkind, mate, what the hell office do you work in? If a woman had come to work in my office dressed like that, she'd have been sent home again to change into something more professional and less 'evening'...

I can't wait for Jen's DVD to come out. I don't think I'd be too good at following her instructions but it would just be cool to watch her paint.


Edit: Sorry!
