Artist's Comments

Simple. But true.

Please, I ask you, why do photographs of naked women always get Daily Deviations? It upsets me, because there are so many more art pieces out there that are not getting the recognition they deserve. Why? Because people love staring at naked women. DeviantART is NOT the place for that. You could look up a site with naked women by the tons within 10 seconds by using a search engine like google.

Another thing, a photograph of a naked person, and its automatically art. A drawing of a naked person, and its enough to get you banned from DA. Fair? No.

I'll bet you anything that if you scroll down right now to the DD's you see either a minus sign for mature content:nudity or a naked person, and if you dont, if you actually click on the DD button, there will be a nude photograph somewhere by the top of the page.

"artists" who do nude photography have thousands and thousands of page views and watchers. Whereas the people who are REALLY original, really have talent, get very little recognition. I could take a photograph of myself naked right now, post it on DA, and get 100+ favs just like that.

Photography can be very original. It can be very creative. but when its just a naked male or female laying on the ground, sitting in a weird pose, etc., its not very artistic. The photographer is trying to make it seem like there is a message behind it, like it symbolizes something, but more often then not, its just a weird perspective on an overly used subject.

Actually, I have some Mature Content photos, but less than 3,000 pageviews (for my entire profile). Nude doesn't translate to unoriginal. Just a showcase of how each person is unique (and hence original).
But I respect your opinion... just don't lump everyone together. It can be art or trash, but that comes on a case-by-case basis.

yes,I've also wondered why porn is usually picked over alot of the other art around here :/

What is so special about some random person naked that makes it better than someone who put weeks into their drawing of a wolf? D:

There is a difference between artistic nudity and porn. Porn is showing the body in a perverted light. Artistic nudity is showing the body in a light that may symbolize purity or show a beautiful body.

Nudity isn't a bad thing, but porn is, and artistic nudity is NOT the same as porn.
:iconlink768:
Have to say, I'm sick of it too. Some of it is pushing the boundaries of so-called "art" Like this one I saw here a few weeks ago; this woman lying on her back with her hands on her pelvis, holding her lower half in the air and the soles of her feet clasped together. Yeah, real "artistic" I could do that right now and if it didn't have some "wonderful lighting" it'd look like a porn shot.
:iconchuchan-riella:
I understand that, but not once in the entire artist description or stamp did I ever call it porn, or suggest that it was.

I just wanted to make clear so you understood. Some people don't get the difference and freak out over it.
:iconlupinne:
You're just right! There is too much naked women in DD! Where the heck are all nude man? Where?:D

Honestly, I have to say I'm sick of it too.

I could Google naked pictures right now.

And on dA, the Mature filter is on, but hey, I'm not old enough to even see half the pictures these people put on here anyway.
And you're right. If someone shows their crotch they get way more pagewiews than someone who paints a beauiful picture of a garden.

I could start a big debate, but it's not going to change anything. :P

...and that's when it came out and hit me!
:iconchuchan-riella:
Thank you! Even if it doesn't change anything, it still needs to be said, because there are so many "artistic nude" supporting people and stamps on DA, that it just seems like someone needs to say something. I'm starting to question the people who are choosing the DD's that their picking things far to repetitively and the only reason they even get DD's is because the lighting is good, usually the "model" isn't doing anything spectacular at all except sitting in a way that gets them attention.

I'm with you. My 5 year old son is beginning to get into photography and I have to be very careful what I show him here because of the over dominance of nude photos. I'm rather sick of every time I do a browse to see if anything new has been posted I have to wade through tons of nude photos to find anything I like.

While I do think that some nudity can be artistic, the majority of what I am seeing isn't.
