Strongheart Halfling (Male) concept art for The Forgotten Realms (Dungeons & Dragons).

The challenge for designing a unique looking and contemporary halfling design was to make the silhouette work without there being the need at all times to have a size comparison. At a glance, the viewer should be able to tell that these are not just "tiny humans", which wouldn't have worked unless you had them side-by-side. In this particular pic, he's holding the mushroom to give an indication of size, but even without it, he would have felt small. What do you think? :)

I second all previous comments regarding foot size and cartoon-ish feeling. I don't hate this concept art for halflings but I probably would never play one because they look caricatured. I prefer all races to have a more dignified build, even if that means a less obvious size differential.

Better bigger feet and smaller heads. ;)

Beautifully done.
Love 'big head' thing they have going.
Unfortunately I must agree with the other here, the feet need to be larger and hairy. Some things should not change =)
Other than that, amazing work! Looking forward to buying the new books!

Oh how I hate these halfling images. Shame there are so many fine images in this batch, but these look Disneyfied. Sorry, but has to be said.

This looks a little too much like a Rankin and Bass hobbit. I know it needs to stand out from other races, but I don't think cartoonish disproportionate tiny feet and huge head does that right. I just wouldn't look at this and think "Yeah, I could play that"

Halflings should have hairy feet, period. Otherwise I like it. Fix the feet, WotC! The time has come to correct your wrongs.
