Now that I've seen the picture I feel the need to write something.

Firstly, the image is very artistic & well done.Obviously she is a pixie & we all know there's no such things (unless I've lead a very sheltered life!). Even though pixies, fairies etc are all fantasy creatures it is still obvious that alot of them portray young girls, even if they are not meant to. It is for this reason that I would never produce an image of a nude pixie,  I'm not particualry offended by this type of art if it's done tastefully (which I think this one is) but I just know that I wouldn't do it as I know alot of people would object, I mean people outside of the art community.  We like to see ourselves as artists & therefore I think we have a wider view on what is art than people who aren't. If I had produced that image & my friends had seen it then they would call me some kind of perv.

I think the point I'm trying to make is that we people here generally don't find this offensive but I think the majority of people outside of the art community would. Or am I totally wrong?

I understand the need to have guidelines, but when does art cross the boundaries?
