Artists beware.
DA has apparentlly declared war on KP art. A number of artists have had several pictures removed lately. The latest his was Lionheartcartoon. Some of the pictures that were removed were "For two real badboys", the cover art for the second chapter of "The Lotus Bloom." and others.
DA appears to consider drawn art like this to be in violation. Yet someone can draw just a naked lady and they call it art! Samething with the pictures. Someone can grab a picture and take a naked picture and they call that art?
It appears DA had gone overboard here. What does anyone else think?

just checking but DA is?
if it is who i think, then yea, they might have gone over board. the drawings were not "p0orn" but were drawn properly, and professionally. there is nothing to see and should not have been taken down

Sorry about that DA is DeviantArts. Most of the KP artists have their major sites there.

This is SO unfair! I've just uploaded my very first piece of KP art onto DA for the rs.net contest. If they DARE take it down I don't know what I'll do to them!!! *angry grrrrrrr*

This is why I hate big places that you can host your art/fanfiction at like fanfiction.net and dA.
THEY OWN YOU!

I think the justification they're leaning back on is that Kim is technically a "minor" ( Under 18)... so, according to their policy, any artwork depicting her in a mature fashion is a violation. I don't agree with it; but unfortunately, I fear they have a point. While Rich's artwork was by no means pornographic, if someone was uptight enough to complain, DA could just point to their submission policy, and hit 'Delete'.  |

Except there are a lot of us who make a very strong point that we are portraying Kim as being older (in my case, with the only thing I've put up with a mature label, she's 21) They don't seem to care. They are lazy and just hit that delete button.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have mostly G-PG stuff posted featuring KP and Co. Yet most of the time I look at it or other people's work, there are "Daily Deviations" that feature not just nudity, but perversion under the guise of "Artful Nude." That means they not only allow it, they CELEBRATE IT! Yet pictures of KP in a bikini get taken down? Maybe these prudes need to go walk around their local mall and see the "**** me now!" outfits little girls are wearing these days.

Yes, it is so hypocritical! And closed minded.
Human nudity is allowed yet a cartoon human can't be naked?
WTF?

I think artists have it harder than the writers. As a writer I can tell in the story how old the character is. An artist does not have it that easy. I even suggested one artist draw Kim in her room with a banner hanging in the background "Happy 18th Birthday" or something. I can see their point in a narrow view. KP is a minor as depicted on the show. But still, the pictures deleted showed an obviously older Kim. Prude is right someone just had an axe to grind.

It's worse than I thought. Rich just replied to one of my comments at DA that NINE of his works have been deleted!

Not yet. Rich said he was going to post a journal there later today. His journals can steam with he is mildly put out, so this should be...interesting.

Here is the policy page from DeviantArts. help.deviantart.com/249/If they use these guidelines then a great mass of art will have to be deleted. |
