fls13, perhaps I did not word that well enough to get my point across. My point is (and the reason I even opened this thread - the subjectiveness of art) as I stated above - if I had rendered the same image with a large breasted thin waisted women (my usual) the commentor would have probably commented on the image as a whole. There is a difference between "critiquing" an image and saying that heavier women should be hidden as if they are an embarassment. It's obvious the commentor intended to flame. If I find pictures of snakes distatsteful and cobra's especially I would not look at an image titled "Cobra Snake" and decide to lower the artists rating on the image solely due to the fact that they used a cobra snake. Again I don't care personally about the rating - it is just emphasis to my point. This is the second image I have posted of Maxine nude, I frankly enjoyed working with her and doing something a bit "different" than the norm here. This won't make me stop (obviously, that would be silly) in fact it will probably encourage me to do more of them. I never do anything for the "critics" except in this case; I began doing images of Maxine because of the teasing (good natured) from some of my friends that my big breasted thin waisted pinups would fall over lol. So I did Maxine as a pin-up just to show diversity and because I thought it was a great idea to show a "realistic" female form. There is a problem with the thigh at the knee area - I know and I tried to fix it but I distorted it all nasty looking. btw that is the exact thing I did expect people to comment on (the thigh) or the lighting on her torso.
