Quote - > Quote - Absolutely. The idea that male art isn't attractive seems pretty much to be a poser-centric bias. Outside of this relatively small corner of the CG world, there are countless examples of beautiful male and female art of practically every theme you can imagine. Just look at DA. It's only 'ugly' if its intentionally done as such. But then, pretty and ugly are entirely subjective.

lol @ Vilters.

Exactly! There is bucketloads of stunningly beautiful male art out there. And not just the nudes ;)

I'm just trying to imagine if fantasy and sci-fi book cover art (or even book cover art in general) was limited to the use of female models. Well... it would change entire genres into wholly female centric narratives.

Then I try to imagine if movie makers were similarly limited because they believed that their audiences didn't want to see males on screen.

The result would be absurd.

I * have* heard people say numerous times that there is just something innately more pleasing about the female form. But the long history of visual art just doesn't support that notion.
