Far too young. Please consider drawing adult damsels instead of little kids.

I posted above that they are adults! I don't commission art featuring minors. The art style is 'chibi'. This is why it's difficult to try something new. I wanted to try some new artwork, but I had to worry about whether people would consider the girls on my book cover to be adults or minors. I decided to post that they are in fact 'adults', and this still happens.

It feels like pigeon holding where arists can only use certain art styles and certain body types.
 
I'm just saying, without the disclaimer, there is literally zero indication of that being true.
 
Jesus, the lack of education these days... Not everyone has trained his eye well enough to identify a chibi style at first glance, fair enough, but to miss a disclaimer that's literally, immediately underneath and in BOLD characters, I think it takes some dedication :sowrong:

On the other hand, this is a commercial product and the debate has given it visibility, so in the long run it might be beneficial somewhat.

BTW, here is a pic of Angelina Jolie tickling Jennifer Aniston's foot in the same chibi style. It was posted ON THIS VERY FORUM and nobody said it was children being portrayed there:

Point me to it, I'll say it.

Sounds like a way to give the action of posting kids on a kink site a different name. I don't get how calling a picture of a kid "an adult" makes much difference, but that's ok. I don't have to. Must be my lack of education.
 
The comparison to the Aniston/Jolie drawing doesn't really work IMO Tenebrae -- the way that those characters are drawn and dressed, they look like chibis. The way that OP's characters are drawn and presented, they look like minors.

Anyway, the solution is easy: commission a new cover for the book, and write off this cover as a failed experiment. Why try to sell a version of a product that draws an immediate, visceral negative reaction from consumers, especially when you can easily fix the product to get a positive reaction? Think of this thread as free market testing.

Ah fair enough, maybe it's me who's having a problem. I am easily annoyed these days and I found the "child pornography" accusation a bit rash. Sounds to me like jumping to conclusions, especially since the author clearly stated his intent. But maybe I am the one who's acting rashly? Like Don Quixote, I tend to easily jump on the back of my horse and charge forwards when it comes to art and its free expression.

Your post does sound reasonable and makes sense.

Let me make something perfectly clear to you. I've been publishing books for years. I've been writing short stories and novels even longer than I've been a member of this forum. I know what is and isn't acceptable. I don't publish fetish novels featuring minors. If my disclaimer above isn't enough for you, than that's your problem. I suggest you report this thread and let the owners deal with it. If they don't do anything than the matters settled.

You call this a failed experiment, but I've actually sold quite a few copies of this book already. It didn't fail. I already made my money back on it and I'm planning the sequel. I'm not sure when it'll be finished, but I'm planning one right now. I put a disclaimer in the original post and if that's not good enough for you, than I'm going to have to find a way to live with that. I don't publish fetish novels featuring minors. You know why? Because that's illegal and I don't feel like going to jail.

Also you should look into things called 'adult pajamas'. They exist!

One last thing I want to add. This is a small excerpt from my novel. You can find this on the first page of the first story that's in this book! Normally I don't mention a characters age, but I knew this might happen, so I decided to mention their ages in this book.

Story Title: TAKING A BRAT SHOPPING

“What do you mean? It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?” Said Brat. The girl pulled off her hoodie and looked up at her friend. “You’re so tall and I’m tiny!” The girl declared.
Brat stood exactly four feet tall, while Kelly stood six. What really upset Brat was the fact that Kelly was a year younger than she was. “I’m twenty-three years old too! It’s not fair that a twenty-two year old is taller than I am!”

Sure, the text says "twenty-three", and makes a big deal about the height difference, but the person in the foreground of the image definitely looks like a child.
 
Good Morning Everyone,

I'm trying to educate myself on what is the protocol if you come across a post that you think doesn't belong here. Please I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this post at but did come across one yesterday that I thought was questionable but has since been removed so I'm sure a mod took care of that. Do we email a specific mod directly or is there a button I don't know about? I'm no expert at all in the art but was just wondering as I've followed this discussion. Chicago maybe you could help me?
 
Well, I thought I was being even-handed, but "The Misadventures of a Brat" is starting to look like an apt descriptor of OP's handling of this whole situation lol

A word to the wise, extreme defensiveness won't always get you far as a businessperson...

EDIT: NHTicker, do you see that triangular warning symbol along the bottom of each post? I think you can use that. I'm not totally sure about the procedure, though.

I really don't care about your track record. Don't see how it matters. But that's cool for you dude.

Done been reported.

And yet I posted a disclaimer and told you that I using a different art style. At this point there's nothing left for me to do.

I handled this situation very well and you're the first to start name calling. Just because I don't jump when you tell me to, doesn't mean that I'm handling this situation like a brat. It just means you're wrong.

It matters because it means I have experience in these matters. Do you really think you're the first person to report one of my books? It's happened before and I expect this to happen again. If this threat gets taken down, than that's fine. There's only so much someone can do, but I'm not going to censor myself just because a few people seem to think that I should.

Experience in posting pics of kids and then saying they're adults and it's a "style". Got it.
