Imaginator,
I don't think a DIY solution by itself would fully work. So many people lack any artistic ability at all, so they would be reliant on finding new artworks to use in their games on ebay or etsy or another site designed to sell such items. I not sure it would allow most players to get improved artwork for their sets.
However, I do think your idea has merit! Many people would enjoy making their own cards to play with. Making new Outposts for use with the Warlord, or some higher-level Water spells would be awesome, and I would love to see your idea implemented! I just think that another solution (like a new pack of artwork for mages) should be implemented alongside it.
Deckbuilder,
While I appreciate how obsessed with me you've been in this thread (every single post you've made in this thread since I initially responded to you has referenced me in some way), I would ask that you please stop insulting me. You've repeated called me militant, you've accused me of being childish and maliciously editing your post in my reply, and you've been accusing me of attacking other posters.
However, disagreeing with someone isn't an attack. I never attack Laddinfance; he asked what was wrong with the Forcemaster and I answered that. I never insulted him, treated him as inferior, or did anything that didn't explain why the clothing the Forcemaster was wearing was ridiculous. I never attacked Imaginator either; we just disagreed whether or not this discussion should appear in public view or only in private messages. I was of the opinion that as long as the discussion remained civil then there wouldn't be a problem. How are either of those even remotely an attack?
You've accused me multiple times of editing your post in such a way as to misrepresent your argument. So far you've been vague on what parts misrepresented you, even after I offered to edit my post to include whatever you would like from the post in question. If you're going to continue to accuse me of this, at least have the integrity to work towards an amicable solution with me, instead of ignoring my offer and continually attacking me.
I'm unsure what exactly makes me a militant also. All I did was express my opinion, and I've even apologized to you when it was clear that you were upset.
And finally, please stop attempting to rewrite this very thread. I never called Arcane Wonders a bigot nor did I disagree with your suggestion that they should tone down the sexist art. If I thought Arcane Wonders was being intentionally sexist or bigoted I would never have purchased the game or suggested it to my friends. There is a difference between thinking that an action is sexist and thinking that a person or group is sexist. I definitely think that the art is sexist, but I also think that Arcane Wonders didn't intend for it to be so and that they can work on this problem in future expansions. The only things I vocally disagreed with you on were your claims that the sexist art wasn't offensive, didn't hurt anyone, and that they should just play it off as humour.
I really hope that you'll cease your attacks against me. I don't want to be your enemy, and I think that two people can disagree with each other and still be civil. We both agree that the artwork should be altered, so can we just focus on that please? If you'd like to talk about the other stuff in a civil way I wouldn't mind continuing through PMs.
Back on topic:
One thing that we've thus far ignored is that the only humanoid explicitly female creatures currently in the game are either Archers or Angels (or the Siren). Many of the other humanoids are androgynous, such as the Knight of Westlock (female armour doesn't actually have boob-shapes in it because that would be detrimental to fighting), the Temple High Guard, the Goblin Grunt, or the Blue Gremlin. If we could get some named female soldiers that are actually wearing proper armour many of the androgynous creatures wouldn't seem to be male by default (due to the present artwork for obviously female cards), and I would love to see some in future expansions.
Also, DDD, I still see the link to your YT video.
