Early D&D orcs were pig men. Green muscle dudes came much later.
The dog kobolds come from fan translations of D&D, where it said they had "dog-like faces" it got misunderstood as "dog people."

Cup shapes (and they *are* shapes, not sizes) are fairly arbitrary and vary by country.
Generally though, you go up a category (but no necessarily a letter) every inch.
>14 cm bigger
To things to point out here, that's ~5.5 inches and that difference isn't the only number that effects bra lettering.
Bra fitting is done by subtracting the band size (the diameter above the tits) from the bust size (the diameter across the tits).

Western orcs come from GW and Blizzard making bulky green skinned men at the same time, shaping the view of most people. But there is hardly a concensus on the matter. Early Citadel orcs had orange skin, japanese pigmen came from the d&d illustrations of pig/dragonlike snouted orcs, and other settings have different representations, like might & magic semi-demons or black moon chronicles hairy apes.

On a sidenote, why is it that so many japanese monstergirls have giant hands and feet ? Is it because they have their roots in cosplay ?

Porcs were closer to the original Orcs who were goblinoids.

Warhammer40k introduced big brute Orcs.

ITT. Orcs should have stayed goblinoid pork faced trash mobs instead of becoming culturally appropriated niggers and "noble savages".


Dog kobolds became a thing thanks to a mistranslation.
Original they are draconic humanoids with dog-like facial features.
Someone translated it into dog-headed people instead.

Subtle evolution.
When D&D was introduced to Japan Orcs were more piggish in the west too.
Warhammer Orcs came about and although they had distinctly piggish qualities - tusks, flat nose, pig pets - their more hulking brutish nature was played up. I think originally they were painted green by accident.
Warhammer Orcs of course spawned Warcraft Orcs, who're more human and who now directly inspire most modern depiction of Orcs in the west.

>Why are western orcs Big Green Muscle dudes and Japanese Orcs Porcs?

>Why are western Kobolds tiny dragon rat people and japanese Kobolds dogs?
Short answer: it's D&Ds fault.

Long answer: By "western" style kobolds, what you're actually referring to are Dungeons and Dragons style kobolds. Up until 3rd editon, the D&D monster manual portrayed kobolds as something rat-like or dog-like. Past 3rd edition, they were lizard-like.

Western perception of kobolds outside of D&D are much less specific. They're roughly synonymous with orcs, dwarves, trolls, gnomes, fairies, and so on. They're all mostly the same type of fairy tale monster, whose physical descriptions shift between regions, cultures, and even individual stories. Outside strictly codified RPG bestiaries, western kobolds can take damn near any form.

Early western CRPGs, such as the Wizardry series series, were heavily inspired by D&D. They were also tremendously popular in Japan, and influenced the Japanese perception of western monsters, such as kobolds.

As such, the Japanese kobolds, are based on early western CRPG kobolds (and their low-resolution graphics), which are based on early edition D&D kobolds, which are based on very specific depictions of kobolds which aren't totally truthful to the larger cultural tradition of western fairy tale monsters.

The same is true with orcs. Early D&D orcs had pig like features, early western CRPGs shared this portrayal, and later Japan CRPGs exaggerated those features.

>>
>>46087063
>Why are western orcs Big Green Muscle dudes and Japanese Orcs Porcs?

Originally Orc depictions were non-unified. "Orc" was basically a catch all for most low level bad guy humanoids. Common traits were upturned "pig-like" noses with tusked teeth and sickly "green" skin.

Since most early RPG monster depictions were in monotone black and white, the Japanese whom imported D&D books focused on the Pig-like noses developing them in often greenish Pigman and Boarman directions.

Citadel miniatures in Britain created a series of Orc miniatures in the early 80s. These minis with their upturned noses and large tusked jaws were commonly painted green to the point where that because the depiction used in Gamesworkshop's Warhammer Fantasy Battle wargame. Warhammer got popular enough that Blizzard started working with Gamesworkshop on making an RTS game, but things fell through. Blizzard opted to continue development of the game, now named Warcraft, toning down the orc jaws and making other adjustments so GW couldn't sue for infringement. After the game and later series became a success Blizzard opted to make their Orcs noble savages in their third game. When the Warcraft was developed into a wildly popular MMO, Blizzard's depiction of orcs as burly greenskined tusked humans became the default depiction of Orc's in the mind of the west.

>Why are western Kobolds tiny dragon rat people and japanese Kobolds dogs?

Early D&D depictions of Kobolds had them as having rat-like and dog-like faces. After a mistranslation that focused on the dog faced part, the Japanese merged them with the Hyena-headed (which can be hard to distinguish from a dog's head) Gnolls and calling this new composite race Kobolds.

When 3rd edition D&D was in development, the desiners of the game wanted to make Kobolds more distinct for Goblins. They opted to do this by making the Kobolds the default dragon slave/servant race and making them more dragon/lizard like.

Correction: They had rat-like tails and dog-like snouts, but were covered in scales from head to toe. So they were just as "lizard-like" as they were anything else, right from the start. Take a closer look at pic related, that's not chainmail.

That by and large the predominant western kind of orc is the hulking green savage. Even when they're not green they're still majorly the same.

As such, it's no exaggeration to call that the "Western Orc".

Kobold comes from German, Colbalt, which is a mine-dwelling goblin who fucked shit up for miners. They were depicted as little people with black /fur/, pointed ears, and large noses. They could talk to rats and dogs, and were why mines would cave in. Later versions of the myths say they're immune to explosions and they can talk with each other by barking like dogs.

Tolkien's Goblin/Orc (same thing) is the source for D&D's Goblin.

Tolkien's Uruk-hai is the source for both D&D Orc and Hobgoblin.

>The orc as a trope was codified by tolkien, and it's not commonly used outside of that, so it can sort of fit.

Tolkien created orcs but was very vague in his description of them. The evolution of the western orc is that of a creature chronicled by Tolkien which was transmutated by D&D that was then sculpted by Warhammer and then widely rendered in Warcraft.

>But a kobold certainly can't, since it's really just a type of fairy.

Kobolds started out as earth sprites/fairies just like Gnomes, but their name was co-oped by D&D for a small humanoid monster since the name Goblin was already taken.

>>46087176
>Early D&D orcs were pig men.

NO, THEY WEREN'T.

Orcs have never been pig-people, that conception came much later and really only in Japan. Orcs were never described in detail in the Lord of the Rings but they were often rendered as ape-like tusked humanoids. Interestingly, Orc skin was originally grey or black in color. This is the closest thing we actually get to a description in Lord of the Rings.

Green orcs were created by Games Workshop completely by accident.

White Dwarf is one of the longest running gaming publications in the world. In the early days, WD wasn't a GW exclusive publication. They also covered the UK releases of AD&D and Runequest. Early editions of White Dwarf were black and white only but in the mid 80's GW finally got the funding to print color sections in WD.

At this time, Orcs and Goblins had black skin.

Unfortunately, when saving the files for the first print run of the color magazine to send the publisher, an unnamed staff member turned the file compression all the way up in order to fit the publisher documents onto a floppy disk. This over-compression lead to a great deal of color-shifting in the first full-color painting guide for Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Rogue Trader W40k. This color-shifting, among other things, caused the color black to instead appear as dark green.

By the time Games Workshop were aware of the error, it was too late to do anything about it and game stores were filling up with green orcs and green Dark Angels. So GW just rolled with it rather than publishing a correction.

>>46095156
Orcs being big green musclemen hasn't actually that much to do with DnD. As stated, the original DnD Orcs were the "P'Orc" variant, which still exists as the common desciption in Japan but is virtually extinct in the west. The common modern western Orc desciption is more based on Warcraft and Warhammer Orcs, with later editions of DnD adopting cues from their appearance (although DnD Orcs are still more grayish or sickly pale greenish in skin colour, rather than the bright green of WH/WC orcs).

The desciptions of originally western fantasy monsters in Japanese media is pretty interesting, really. For many creatures you can sort of see them either "evolving" by combining with Japanese tropes or due to later artists being influenced by a desciption of a particular artist and imitating their style, or remain relatively unchanged while the western deciption changes (which interestingly parallels the way some actual animal species might be preserved in an isolated enviroment while in the mainland they're replaced by their descendants or unrelated but similar species). Other examples include:

>Japanse Elves: commonly have extremely long ears due to the western-style pointed "elf ears" already being associated with demons/yokai. Also commonly seem to be more busty than the lithely built western elves, which might be to make them more exotic looking or because fanservice in anime.
>Japanese Dark Elves: Brown skin instead of coal black or dark grey. Can probably be traced to the "Record of Lodoss War" manga and anime (itself based on session recaps of a DnD campaign published in some Japanese RPG magazine), where they coloured the Dark Elves brown because that was easier to shade with the limited colour palette they were working with.
>Japanese Succubi: often descipted with a mouth or other orifice at the end of their tail. Most likely related, through a very specific fetish and a few mental hoops, to Cell in Dragonball Z (really, this one is kind of confusing).
>>
>>46095936
>NO, THEY WEREN'T.

Yes they were, precisely by an artist misinterpreting Gygax's descriptions. What was just a piggish-nose became a boarfaced creature.

The Japanese. They don't need much reason to mess with things.
>>
>>46095936
The art from one of the earliest desciptions of Orcs in DnD (see >>46090451) has them with distinctively pig-like faces. Admittably that isn't somethign that was really a consistent feature for them, and probably just the artist taking the desciption of them having tusked faces with upturned "piggish" noses and running with it.

Intresting about the colour error in early WD, though. I know that Dark Angels used to have black armour in some of the older desciptions, and that in-universe they changed their colour to dark green after Horus Heresy, but was never aware what the real life reason for the colour change was (the fluff for the Heresy was created considerably after the fact).

>That's new to me, I've only seen that in MGQ.
>And I may misremember it but I think it was associated with a vore scene.
There's a reason people sometimes call those kinds of tails "vore-tails" (although I've seen them in other contexts as well).

It's by no means universal; most Japanese succubi still have the classic "devil-tail" (you know, the one with a pointy triangular tip). In MGQ most succubi ahd that kind of tail and only one boss had the "vore-tail". But it is prelevant enough that I've seen it multiple times in unrelated sources. Mostly hentai manga (where they may or may not be used for vore), but also some non-hentai art. Disgaea videogames (at least the first one, which is the only one I've played due to not owning a Sony console newer than PS2) gave the succubi a tail-bite attack as well, and I think I've seen it in a few other videogames as well.

I'd like to know exactly where it came from, since it's not something you see in any western desciption of succubi. DBZ's Cell is the likeliest suspect, as he had an orifice on the end of his tail he used to absorb people, but Cell had nothing to do with succubi either so how exactly it got associated with succubi is still a mystery.

Upturned pig-like nose with tusked mouths were a common enough design that the 1979 AD&D Monster Manual uses that as their appearance.

>White Dwarf is one of the longest running gaming publications in the world. In the early days, WD wasn't a GW exclusive publication. They also covered the UK releases of AD&D and Runequest. Early editions of White Dwarf were black and white only but in the mid 80's GW finally got the funding to print color sections in WD.
>At this time, Orcs and Goblins had black skin.

That tale seems to be apocryphal. There is a 1980's box of Grenadier AD&D Orc miniatures with Green skinned Orcs (my pick) and Orcs have green skin in the 1983 AD&D cartoon.

Yeah, the best I can figure Cell in DBZ ended up giving a significant amount of people a tail-vore fetish, and later one of those people noticed that succubi
a) are sexy demons that prey on men
b) have tails
and put two and two together. Some other people presumably copied him and it ende dup becoming prelevent enough that significant minority of Japanese succubi have mouht-tails.
I'd still like to know what was the first appearance of a mouth-tailed succubus.

Kobolds as dog earth spirit people that killed miners I think was some more closely related to the myth as well as orcs having porcine features (even though they didn't look like actual pigs).

For the japanese is both "trying to stick to original myth" then "twisting this myth as much as necessary in order to make them fit with manga stereotypes". So basically instead of drawing a huge dude with a weird nose you draw a pig to make the character seem lustful, lazy and dirty; and you go for the dogpeople because they can be turned very easily into girls with animal ears for example.

Also I don't think Orcs were green ever, methinks it was an invention of this era that somehow stuck and too many grimdark jokes that made them poplar.

Some Greek monsters with serpent tails were depicted with literal snake heads on the end of them (like the Chimera or those snake-legged giants). This motif was later used in Christian art with certain demons having snake-headed tails. Usually named ones featured in demon dictionaries. I suspect that's where the tail-mouth thing comes from.
>>
>>46100579
Thinking about this some more a simplified snake head or (tassle, like on a lions tail) might be where the idea of spaded tails comes from since no actual animal has one.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I've always figured the pointy bit might represent some kind of stinger or something, but being derived from a heavily stylished snake head makes more sense, as that's something that shows up in medieval demon artwork pretty often (along with eyes on the butt, a feature for some reason dropped from modern illustrations of demons).

Although I kind of doubt some Japanese porn writers got the idea to give their succubi mouth-tails from medieval demonology books. Plus those tails usually have either just a round orifice or a bunch of fleshy appendages (like pic related) at the end, rather than proper jaws.

Ghosts and Goblins has demons with medieval inspired demons what with the chest faces and such so I don't think it would be too much of a stretch.

That tail in your pic looks more like something found on various tentacle monsters though, so it might just be that they're mixing western sex demons with eastern sex monsters.

The number represents the circumference around the breast, not the breast volume. The band size is unlisted, and cup size is is a dependent on band size - not circumference around the breast.

You cant determine the bra size by circumference alone.

Two situations:
A) Westie Orcs take over Jap Orcs through better weapons, battle tactics, and maybe shamanism. Disregard if Tolkein's Orcs. Jap Orcs slowly go extinct but luckily don't have to suffer Chris Metzen's constant dinduism.

B) Jap Orcs take over Westie Orcs just because. With the help of their Powerful Dark Magic-user likely a plate-bikini'd Dark Elf Dom , they turn all the orcs in cock-loving Elf girls. Rape and Orc-Elf babies ensue. This is literally every representation of Orcs I've seen in Japanese media.

Japanese orcs are only good at raping elves and female knights, they are absolute bottom-barrel jobbers beyond that. Whereas the Western orc, while also usually a jobber, tends to congregate in numbers large enough to pose a threat to somebody.

Based on this, I'd have to say the western ones win.

See that's the thing, Suu actually isn't mentally crippled like Papi, by the time she's discussing the harem end with Darling she's already been able to converse and discuss normally for quite a while.
Put this into perspective: Suu, at first a standard slime, has learned enough from observing sapients that she can interact, converse, and fully integrate into their society, all in under the length of a YEAR!

0. Darling
Literally perfect

1. Miia
Pure and devoted best girl, perfect balance between loving personality and huggable body.

2. Rachnera
Pretty scary because she's a FUCKING SPIDER and her six eyes could be disturbing to some, but despite being a femme fatale bondage queen she's also 2pure. Gap moe is best moe.

2a. Zombina
Who doesn't love tomboys? People with shit taste, that's who.

2b. Tio
Big, protective yet cute girl. She'll wreck your doors and porches but that's worth the giant hugs and snu snu. Strictly inferior to Centorea personalitywise though.

3. Centorea
Ladyknights are my fetish. She's loyal, brave, and protective. Her only faults are being a fingerlocking slut and HORSE PUSSY

4. Mero
Cuckfish is worst fish, but if you can look past that she's a sophisticated cute. 4/10 would take her to the beach.

5. Suu
Not really into goo girls but she's a cute and a useful. Salt water personality best personality.

5a. Manako
Not really into uguu moeblobs, but she's kinda cute.

6. Papi
She'd be cute if she weren't literally retarded, along with the rest of her species.

Please try to contain your GW fanboyism to threads that talk about it. Don't you have parents to go beg money from to buy your new $50 model kit that gives you 3 jet bikes?

I dunno, Malacath likes outsiders and the ugly. He'd probably love the oinky bastards.

(I think the biggest sin of Skyrim's visual direction was while they were making everyone look all pretty in response to all the "potato head" complaints about the previous games, they went and made the orcs pretty, too, as if they'd forgotten their own lore)

That sounds like a bit of a bullshitty story, considering how crazy GW was going with Space Marine colors at times.

I wish I could track it down, but there was one issue where it showed Dark Angels that were orange and black.

I didn't find most races particularly pretty. I honestly thought most of the elves became more alien and strange, set apart from normal people.

Dunmer still sexy though.

>>46115298
Probably because the subsequent desciptions of Orc were based on the earlier Japanese desciptions, which were based on the 1st edition Monster Manual art.
Although you do sometimes see green or/and non-pork orcs in Japanese media as well.

>>46115364
RT had Marines with differnt colour schemes a lot more often. Back then they actually wore camo and stuff. DA did at some poitn change from black to green, though: them being black pre-Heresy is a nod to their original colourscheme, but I'm not sure what led to the change.
>>
>>46115621
isn't that a dude?
>>
>>46115640
Probably realizing they had three chapters with black colors, and they needed to mix things up.

Or it might have been because of the Angels of Death codex - the Dark Angels and the Blood Angels used to be rolled in one codex, so it might have been confusing for there to be Death Company marines with their black armor and red saltires, and for there to be Dark Angels with black armor and red markings.

There are literally people out there who do not appreciate Mero's enormous growth as a character.

From cuckfish to murderfish to kind, gentle maidenfish.
>>
>>46117260
Not exactly been following the manga, so I don't really know anything about the characters they kept introducing as it went on. Why do people call her cuckfish and murderfish?
>>
>>46115698
Who cares? If it's pretty, fuck it.

Besides, it's not gay if it's an elf.
>>
>>46117454

Mero, like most of her species, are enamored with the concept of "tragic love." This can mean anything from falling in love with someone you could never have, or falling in love with someone who dies or becomes sickly.

For Mero, she initially wanted nothing more than to hook Darling up with Miia and be the side-girl, yearning for his affection as a mistress. Eventually, Mero realized she hated this because, surprise surprise, watching someone you love be with someone else *hurts*, so she goes from cuckolding herself to "tragedy", which had Mero constantly (either intentionally or not) putting Darling in deadly situations, often at risk of drowning.

This aspect of her changed when we met her mother, who actually tried to kill Darling for real. During the rescue, Mero sacrificed herself to save Darling (but was saved at the last second) which made Mero realize The Little Mermaid wasn't about tragic love, it was about true love.

Now Mero's totally on-board with the harem end, because she understands many girls loving Darling does not diminish or cheapen her own love for him.

But they don't. The only thing other places provide is more moderation and lack of anonymity.

As much as I enjoy being able to speak my opinion without being ostracized if the mods don't agree with it, being put on a platform where they can be held accountable for your statements encourages people to consider and source their statements, as well as speak on the level demanded of the forum (which can vary widely). It's also harder to change the subject in such a forum, leading to slightly better focus in some situations and unnecessary stifling in others.
Here, it's easy for some sixteen-year-old to come online and decide he's going to join the 'cool kids club' and shitpost because he's anonymous and he heard about 4chan online, even more so because the amount of people who can surf the web has expanded greatly.
Excuse my armchair sociology, that's just my thought process on it.
>>
>>46118988
With the issue of having a name also has the issue of a reputation or being favored on that forum.

>being put on a platform where they can be held accountable for your statements encourages people to consider and source their statements, as well as speak on the level demanded of the forum
Toplel

Being named encourages ass-kissing, walking on eggshells and holding on to completely wrong opinions just to save face. Normalfaggotry and social conformism are cyanide to honest discussion and creativity.

And that's not even going into moderators abusing their powers, moderating based on opinions, and hordes of radical leftists and faggots with soccermom-level ideals chasing everyone else out (numerous examples like rpgnet, SA,..)

>>46119178
You're right on a lot of points, even though I don't think that holds on all forums.
Being anonymous encourages shitposting and randumbdry, to be perfectly honest, which is about as or less poisonous than conformity.
I suppose the real issue is a double-edged sword.
>Anonymous sites let anyone who can speak speak whatever they want to- lowest common denominator included
>Named sites leave the group heavily subservient to the moderators and their abuses.
Even though I'm acting as the devil's advocate for named sites, I come here because I enjoy discussing things without having to bother about someone quoting me and tearing me a new anus or kicking me off the site if I'm not a complete jackass.
Which is the whole point, I guess.

I'm with you on this. One of the biggest flaws of name-using sites is that it's harder to offer any legitimate critique because even if you phrase it well, people will think you're an asshole, think you're trolling and the like and will try and get you banned.

The greatest advantages of being anon is the ability to post truths rather than just avoiding the subject.

also seriously why is there not more actual porn of this chinese cartoon? not here I mean just in general

Plus the ability to post things like that, shame-free.
>>
The original comics where every single comic depicted the dude living with a different girl and it turned out he was a set of sextuplets or something like that, was a more elegant solution, I thought.

Also they had porn

Oh jesus I just realized it's just a matter of time before they make an anime out of the Orc and slutty elf comic
>>
>>46119603
Yeah, both ahve their pros and con.

On an anynymous board you can speak more freely, since you don't have to worry about people associating your comments with you or dragging them up later to use against you, and every comment must be judged by its own merits. On the other hand, same anonymity means everybody can shitpost as much as they want.
Meanwhile on a non-anomymous boards you can't shitpost without getting banned and people can connects the things you say to you, which should foster a more polite and on-topic discussion. Also posts tend to stay around for a longer time than on 4chan where anything not archived falls off the board and disappears forever pretty quickly. On the other hand, such forums were easily turn into circlejerks where the mods ban people they don't like, people suck up to "famous" posters who have been around for a long time, and perfectly good opinions may be ignored or met with hostility because the person presenting them has only recently joined and therefore their opinion have less value than those of somebody with thousands of posts.

Personally I prefer the freedom granted by anonymity.

Good points.

The biggest appeal for me of a named site is the ability to know who you're talking to, as well as their 'site cred'.
Easier to keep track of good posters and ignore bad ones.
