Tiari - i don't need to give you  an earful.  all i need to do is point back to my previous posts where i state how given the artwork , this is not always possible to do and retain the meaning and quality of the original image, nor even accurately depict it.  the more i look at unfinished works, the more i realize i can't post them here.  if you can't understand that, i don't know what to tell you.

karen1573 - you don't need to repeat yourselves.  that's what looks so bad.  what you're not doing is actually explaining your reasoning after it's been challenged directly.  instead various mods just keep repeating the same insults to our work.  i know i've tried to address most posts directly (minus the ones that made me too heated), and i've got no actual responsibilities to the community.

as for answers to questions: do these pictures seen on quite popular magazines distributed practically everywhere fit the new thumbnail policy?
vanity fair - kate moss
bazaar - britney spears
vanity fair - scarlett johanson & kiera knightley
vanity fair - demi moore pregnant
vanity fair - demi moore painted
vogue - jennifer aniston
time - howard schatz cover
time - howard schatz cover 2

and just to say, i didn't look up "nude," "breast," or anything like that.  some i came across quite accidentally just looking for magazine covers.  and that doesn't even get into the perfume ads.
