And is it just me, or is there a disturbingly large bulge in his groin...? My mind just could be in the gutter...

Here's the entire picture as it was scanned.

While there's no title to that picutre in the book, I think it's supposed to be the Iksar Monk/Master in TD.

Edit: You can see that it wasn't the best scan in the world. That's why I went with shrinking it down some for my sigpic, instead of cropping more off. It hides some of the fuzzyness that way.

I wasn't just imagining things because my mind is in the gutter...

...Or maybe my mind IS in the gutter because I noticed it...

Nope, you're not the only one that noticed it.

Verant never did go into detail as to just how "human" Iksar are in that area. It might be that they have something to bulge there, or maybe it's like some people having an "outie" belly button.

Given that Verant left those details off ALL the creatures in EQ, I would say that it's fair for an artist to assume that there should be a large bulge there.

Then again, that might just be a strangly placed pocket with something in it.

...Is that a Fighting Baton in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Densetsu's fortune cookie read:

Actually, if you'll look at it, it's not wearing any monkly garb, but instead, looks like a generic trooper.

I might be remembering wrong, but I think the Monk in question has the generic trooper armor on in EQ.

I also based it off of the fact that he looks tough, older (see the head horns), and is standing on uneaven rocks (said Monk appears on mountains).

take it from someone that knows

Ok. It's been a while since I've seen him. I guess I just mis-remembered.

One leg is in front of the other. From that angle, such a stance completely blocks out the groin.

And his loincloth is draped somewhat over his leg as well as his groin, I think.

I'm not seeing this bulge.

That's an illusion caused in part by the shadow of his arm falling upon his leg. The leg that's propped up is his left leg, and the loin cloth partially covers his groin.

Looking at it the way you are, notice how long the upper part of his leg would be compared to the lower part of his leg? It just doesn't work.

I...uhh..holy shit

That artist must've been stoned off his ass when he drew that.

Reptiles have internal genitalia, dammit.

You'd think it'd kill an artist to take a look at a science book.

Also, cat people shouldn't have the bewbies (talking about EQ here still).
