Dear artists and fellow art lovers,
deviantART is for sure a great platform for the artists in our community. Yet, am I the only one to feel extremely annoyed by their medieval censorship policy? I am sure I do not have to explain to anyone what "deviant" means, but regardless, those restrictions have already caused a lot of damage to my friends' (Augustine, Yurihausen, Bohemianne and others) artwork. I mean, not everyone is a genius like Redscript or CAB, managing to make awesome, lush erotica while cleverly hiding their subject's anatomy (check below for examples).
Here are two very clever ways to make a drawing chaste without diminishing the erotic charge by not even a notch.
On the other hand, some artists express themselves better when they can show more, and it is a damn shame that they cannot. Here are two examples of what deviantART does to such artists:
In the case of the first one, please note the utter hypocrisy of allowing the show of nipples but censoring the lick this man is giving them, like the problem is not the nudity but rather the fact that she is taking pleasure.
Am I the only one bothered by this?
