Quote - Yes, Rendo has stricter standards, and I agree with them. I don't want people to get the impression I don't.However, sometimes I wonder why one image is allowed and another is removed. And in most cases I actually hear about, it seems like someone overreacted.

It's just how it is and depends a lot on context, luck, quality of your work, who you are, who is doing the judging... Look at this pic for example:

One last time

It's clearly underage, and the symbolism is quite obvious... But because it's Stahlberg (who pretty much invented the whole CG chick phenomenon) he can get away with it. Heck that image has even been featured in a number of art books, including the one(s) by CGTalk. The fact that its beautiful work and not blatantly sexy also helps people to accept it as 'art' and not 'porn'

Now compare that to some newbie posting a similar (but typically poser-ish) work at a site full of pin ups and nudes (rosity) and you can guess the reaction it would get. Is this sort of thing wrong and hypocritical ? Perhaps. But then who ever said we live in a fair world...
