Personally, I don't care about nudity at all. I think it's hypocritical and ridiculous for humans to be so ashamed of their bodies. It reeks of low self-esteem and if your wife gets jealous over images, Stoner, you shouldn't have married her. Don't take that as me being mean, and I don't know her or you well enough to be a counselor. I hope in all sincerity that you two have a long and beautiful relationship. If your workplace allows you to browse online at ALL, consider yourself lucky. Most jobs scorn internet use on the clock, because the 'net IS 90% porn, period. I agree with Rayraz on this issue. If you are ashamed of nudity, or your naked form, then cut your eyes out and you won't have to worry about it. On the OTHER hand is this point : Most of that "artwork" is pure garbage, and displays no talent or dedication or even WORK at all. Human characters are modeled naked. They COME that way. If you can't take the time to dress up your figures, then you are not doing anything other than using someone else's geometry in it's basest and weakest form. Making naked people is so easy, just like in real life. Putting clothes on their back and giving them value as a character is the hard part, just like in real life. So, Stoner, I actually agree with you! Just for different reasons. I despise all the naked Poser people in Bryce imagery. Those that use such props are pathetic and worthy only of scorn or ignorance. I never click on an image which contains nudity, Star Wars/Star Trek props, or anything from the Lord of the Rings. If you can't be original, you shouldn't be attempting to do artwork. And if you think that naked people or the Lord of the Rings are "inspiring", then you need to go to a poor country and see just how inspiring naked, starving children are, or go read a real fantasy epic instead of a children's story about midgets.
