Artist's Comments

Resubmitted the cut version of this drawing, because though it's totally okay for artists to post horrible violent gore or photos of real women naked in bondage, it's not okay to respresent masturbation, which is a lovely and healthy thing.

It's not a big deal, because this one's not about the naked bits, it's about the feeling. Please don't ask for a link to the full version, because that could get me banned.

+ I know a hakama (the striped lower garment) doesn't open that way, but I don't care. I love the way it looks.
+ I feel this is a total success in my marker work. I like my shadows, I used the overlap lines to my advantage (texture for the tatami mat), and for once I didn't fuss with the hue in PhotoShop -- it looks exactly this way on paper.
+ Cherry blossoms lend grace to any situation. Cherry blossoms would make an outhouse lovely.
+ I love you, David Bowie. No disrespect. Just getting you back for all the things you do to me.

materials: ink, Letraset illustration marker and Prismacolor pencil on bristol
music: Janet Jackson, "Empty"

DA sucks in that way.
That's why I didn't even bother drawing the whole thing in that one pic, because.. lolz, I knew I'd get banned. It's stupid because it's not like it's porn or anything.. but, hey, it's good you've got the emotion down in his face ;]

Truly, it's not about the bits. I just drew the whole schmeer because that was the contest requirement, but if it hadn't been for that, I'd have cut it off about here anyway. I'm not a huge fan of the naked male batch anyway. I enjoy Bowie's best when it's clothed but still feeling saucy. ^_~

Nostalgic for 80s fantasy films. When glitter was cheap, monsters were muppets, and Evil was smexy.

Honestly, you probably could have left it up and had no issues. I've seen worse on here, (things that should be taken down and the "artist" banned), unfortunately.
However, you could have gotten lucky and been that person someone was out to get.
It's incredibly ridiculous that you had to edit/censor your art, because it's beautiful as is.

Either way, I think you found a way to do so and keep the emotion that you originally wanted to portray.
Well done.

Awww I'm sorry sweetie. It really annoys me that we can have woman in bondage in only their birthday suit, but not a guy giving it one. (excuse my crude wording)

Aw, it's okay. :) I'll always have the memories.

Naked man bits are always funnier than they are sexy. It's like you have to kind of force yourself to believe in their sexiness at the best of times. It's much more enticing to know they're there, being coaxed. ^_^

The SS removed it. :P I'm not surprised. I've had fully innocent pieces removed before. I betcha somebody's watchin'. To them: GET OUTTA MY ART JOURNAL, ASSBISCUIT.

Thank you for your support. :) I'm not too upset. I still really like it.

No, hey, feel free. :) Crude wording can be delish. Eh, it walks a fine line. You can't make exceptions for some, blah blah blah. I understand. I think it's stupid, but I understand.

Never thought I'd be incensed in favor of male nudity! ;D
