Go to Renderotica and make that suggestion -- in regards to this specific subject.  I.....doubt that it'll be well-received.

Err, there's a damned good reason why we don't allow pics or representations of naked kids @ Renderotica. C'mon, Xeno... think about this for a second. :)

Funny enough, DTG (Diane's company - R'otica's parent) also hosts Faeriewylde, and they do renders of innocent naked kids all the time.

Quote - Rotica positioned itself in such a way that an innocent image of a cherub would last about six seconds before it was turned into something else.

Umm, that just came out way the hell wrong (we don't do kiddie porn, PERIOD). Cobaltdream summed up my thoughts nicely in response:

Quote - yeah, i think you're mixing apples and oranges.  for instance, i have 2 great books of (fine art) nude photographs.  one of the best and most heartwarming is the huge belly of a very pregnant woman and her lively and also naked 2 year old (i'm guessing).  it's just wonderful, and would be completely inappropriate for an erotic photo collection.

Quote - Nope, sorry to dissapoint you, but there is still a lone Poser site out there that still sticks to the "Old tyme spirit" and allows artistical nudity regardless of age.

AND they are located in Nashville.
AND they have a marketplace,

Faeriewylde is what you're speaking of. OTOH, their forum/gallery servers are located in California, and their store is on a separate domain and site completely.

LIES!!!!! Women fart just as nasty as men  sometimes WORSE!!!!

As a man who is married now and was formerly married to another, I can vouch for this statement in spades. Women can have the raunchiest, most foul-smelling nether-gases on the friggin' planet at times.

Quote - That subject here is actually one that caused me to lose quite a bit of interest in the site as a whole.  Simply put it is not an art site.  It's a marketplace.  Art is here only to promote the marketplace.  I can not even dare to look for any classical artworks and not come across nude minors.

• Yep - you nailed it.

• I went to the Portland Art Museum last night for the first time (did you know they have actual Renoirs, Monets, Matisse, and Rodin works in there? Neither did I until last night... I'm going back next weekend - I simply couldn't take it all in w/ just the two hours the missus and I slotted time for before our dinner reservation). Naked kids all over the joint... and strangely enough, none of them were doing anything sexual. Go Figure (sarcasm was directed elsewhere, I promise :) ).

sigh... back to the database-hammering with me...
