I think the elves look perfect as they are. They are definitly very human like in D&D, with usually slender and more delicate feature, but not androgynous. Just look at drizz't cover to see what I mean . Looking at the Dnd art we had for decades, the elves we have in game definitly fit that.

I find this quite androgynous.

[edit] He is obviously a man, but at the same time, he has strong feminine characteristics. If he had a more delicate expression in this image it would be even easier to see them




Yes, this illustration definitly has some very delicate feature. ; I think its because of the narrow chin and the shadow make its look even slender. Also the half lighting flatten his face, giving it a more lean and smooth look.

But you can look at Todd lockwood work, he has illustrated all the drizz't novel and Drizz't is manlier in his work. also the design for Wotc done by Brian Matyas recently is very manly. Sorry, I have trouble uploading pic on the forum.


The drizzt designed by Todd Lockwood is basically what I think a drow should be. In his drawings, he perfectly captured the style used in 3rd edition books. And even though it's another artist's version i can still see the female characteristics, but that doesn't mean that he looks like a female, since he is clearly a male, it just means that he has the delicate features of the elves. In my opinion, you are confusing the character's strong and serious expressions with masculine traits.

As for Brian Matyas, I really didn't like the style he chose for Drizzt for the same reason as i said before, he looks too human.



Making Drizz't more feminine doesn't make him any less human , though.

Anyways, he does has very masculine trait as well , such as big jaw, receding forehead and proeminent forehead, chiseled feature. But the slender chin and hollowed cheeks give him this slender look.
