"I'd say the real question is why would anyone want to render pictures of 1/2 naked children, be it alien or human?"

when I first read this I was a little put out. just what is he calling me/trying to say. 

How can anyone make such a cover all statement. lack of imagination maybe?

but I think its more to do with not understanding what the image is about. and rightly so, as I have given very little information on it.

so here's the out line.

a family of aliens from a pre iron age society are out in the jungle, and are attacked by an unfriendly meat eater 

pre iron age = no metal, simple weapons

jungle = hot/ warm climate =  simple clothing

I have dressed them in a way not for "shock value or titillation"

but because that is what they would wear.

I am trying to make the image factual, as much a sci fi image can be. as opposed to fantasy where they would be running around in loin cloths and high heels.  

just google south American tribes or African tribes and you will see more flesh of all ages than I am planning. because that is what they wear
