Well, if you experiment much and produce often 20, 30 pictures of a set, that goes sometimes on costs of the quality. Shouldn't happen, I know. The few pictures I post here are just the peak of the glacier so to speak. Edited October 12, 2020 by Doc Carling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries i understand that, i used to work a lot with photos in the past as well and it's something normal to happen. Good job, keep it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to abuse other people works for original and copy games. However, you have some trolls here in the forum and you are obviously blind to see that. No it was a general comment. If it was directed at you I would have quoted or tagged you. Edited October 13, 2020 by AdminGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found a problem with necklines and told me in a normal objective way. That is the way it works. While you always replay with a teaching undertone without that you seem to have a clue about the topic we are talking here: comic art. Else you wouldn't mix up fantasy with reality.

So whatever you say, please consider that. Apart from that, your moralic objections sound to me like you never saw a comic or cartoon in your life. I suggest that you look at some comic pictures on web. Anyway, if there were something wrong with my images, the administration had already removed them.

No, the topic here is FACES. My comment was (after pointing out some issues with your editing) that these pictures do not focus on FACES. I only got nasty when you accused me of being such...and interested in you, when uh not on your nelly. And I thought you had given up posting your "art" here.

You know even Presidents don't care what they said yesterday. So why not common people too? And who painted circles on my pictures like we were in a kindergarten where Miss Doe corrects the picture of little John? lol You know art or not art. Who decides that?

Doc Carling Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 This time a tried something new. Still Maitreya meshbody, still classic skin, but a bento head. I use it with my own shape and built the face expression, head/neck angle, mouth opening and eyes position with the Letlutka Axis Hud. Well, my first attempt. But I'm a already convinced that this HUD is very usefull. Shame on me that I didn't discover it earlier. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if there were something wrong with my images, the administration had already removed them. Doc, appealing to the sexist practices of another genre, comic books (which are notoriously sexist in their depictions of women, although that's slowly changing) to validate your own is not actually a very effective strategy. "Well, they do it too!" doesn't cut it as justification for what you are doing. Nor does "this is meant for men only." You might just as well say "These pics are only meant for people who like women's boobs; any critique of them from someone who isn't part of that demographic is therefore invalid." Can I suggest that you are also selling your target audience short? Defining male tastes exclusively by their supposed or imagined desire to see semi-clad and highly sexualized women manages to reduce the entire gender to the status of puerile pubescents. You and I both know that is not the case. Why not be a bit more edgy and innovative? Rather than merely reproduce the 70s era sexism of comic books, why not take the genre in a different direction? It's what the best comic artists are trying to do now in their own genre -- introducing women- and trans-positive characters and narratives, for instance. Maybe, dare to be a little different, rather than clinging to a now badly outdated aesthetic sensibility? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like you say, oh, porn is displaying women nude, but that's slowly changing. Soon we have porn where women are fully dressed. And third at the first place I do it because I like to do it. That's it. I value your opinion, but please don't forget you are just 1 voice of how many people are living on earth? I'm sure you don't think that you represent them all. Your suggestions what I should rather do is what YOU find approbiate and what mirrors YOUR worldview. That's normal. However, my worldview is different.

And responding "Well, that's just your opinion" is rather pointless too? We have discussions in places like this so that we can learn from each other, and provide a broader perspective -- our perspective -- to others who don't have access to it. I listen to what you say, and I respond to it; my responses account for the things you say, and either agree, or offer alternative perspectives. That's how discussion works. I have gained immeasurably by hearing and listening to people who have different viewpoints from my own. For instance, I've learned to actually value your idea of using SL photography to reproduce the look and feel of comics. I think it's a cool idea. But that doesn't mean that I need to agree with everything about your approach to it. I would hope that you are listening and think about what Jordan, Rowan, and I are saying here. You don't necessarily need to agree with it -- but if you don't, you should be able to come up with a better reason for your differing opinion than "This is what I think, so there!" This is how we learn. There's literally no point in talking to each other if our only response is "Well, this is my opinion, and that's yours, and that's all there is to it." We might just as well converse with a mirror. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you guys do is reasonable and right, and what I do is all wrong. lol Ok, you want to hear what I really think about Jordan, Rowan and you? You guys lack flexibility, are obviously unable to take things easy and perhaps you are just to prudish to enjoy erotic and sexuality. Is that better and more clear? Apart from that I'm absolute sure not every women here in the forum and on earth is sharing your ethics and morally sights. They just don't see a reason to post it or too say it loud.

The idea that a woman who doesn't accept a man's view of her sexuality is therefore "frigid" or a "prude" is a pretty ancient one. Perhaps you should emerge into the new century? How about this instead: we don't want our sexuality defined by you. As women, we will be sexual in our own way, and we utterly reject your prepubescent view of our sexuality. My own sexuality is a very important component of who I am. It is strong, dynamic, imaginative, and most importantly self-determined. It will not be reduced to the status of "girly pics" for you to fap to. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
