Portraits are different than Figure Studies actually. Portraits are head/shoulder shots generally (most of which are clothed) while Figure Studies are for full body artistic nudes. While I don't have anything against nudes, I really don't think that these should be grouped together.

I'm a little concerned with the Fantasy category's current trend. It seems as though most of the images placed there today are far more pinup, than Fantasy (if you consider fantasy to be fantastical creatures/circumstances and not male fantasy). I also noticed that the Science Fiction category has been able to hold topic. So I was wondering if we can get a Mythical Creature category that would at least allow artists that deal strictly in the magical side of the fantasy world, rather than the sexual side, to have a place to put their images. And yes, I realize that it would include demonesses and mermaids, but at least they would be on topic in such a category. Again, it's not the nudity, it's the subject...

PS: This is not hypocritical of what I said before in the thread about the initial request for groups. I have no fault with a pinup that at least has a mythical creature, takes place in a mythical world, etc, but most of the ones posted in fantasy today don't even seem to have this qualification.
