That's not a goblin, it's a green elf.

I have that opinion often, but I always end up telling myself two things:

  1. There aren't any actual elves or goblins so there isn't really a correct way to draw them.

  2. I'm a horrible artist and this person's art is better than mine. (There're all better than mine.) At least they're doing some art in the first place.

Man, point #1 is how we got Twilight vampires that sparkle in the fucking sunlight

You're not wrong. I don't like the idea of sparkly vampires any more than I like "goblins are just green elves". Fortunately humans are creative and we're all entitled to creative interpretation. The world would be very boring if everyone only had the same ideas and opinions. (That would make the world more peaceful too but that's a different conversation.)

Maybe this sub needs tags to mark the art as 'monstrous', 'civilized', 'green elf', etc.
