Thanks, I wasn't sure about that. There weren't any on the pic anyway.

Thanks for the feedback and clarification. After looking further into the rules both here and via JaxPad, I finally found some more specific guidelines as well. A lot of my nudes will not be allowed, and that's just fine as long as I understand where the line is drawn. I like this site the way it is, and a number of artists I admire greatly maintain galleries here.

no nipples! no genitalia! no mature themes (sexuality, drug use, violence) I'd agree with Mauricia, that this is totally okay with JaxPad/Artspots, if rated appropriately. To me it's PG-13 but very close to PG because the darkness hides pretty much of the figure.

I would personally consider that PG-13. Plus, tasteful nudity is allowed on ArtSpots, with the appropriate rating. :)

I just submitted a portfolio for consideration, and I didn't include this piece because I wasn't sure if it would be considered PG13. When I showed it at FC07, I was told that it could be displayed in either the all-ages auction, or the adult auction, but I am aware that opinions about what sort of nude is youth-viewable varies from person to person and place to place. I am fond of drawing nudes, and I was hoping for clarification on exactly what is considered appropriate for this site. I also have a couple other pieces featuring males with sheath and balls visible, but that is merely a result of the character being nude, not a feature of the drawing. I, personally, find it quite disturbing when realistically rendered characters are missing essential anatomical bits for the sake of "decency", and so I always include those bits when the pose is such that they should be visible.
