"The ceiling of the Sistine chapel was a commisioned piece." Sure; just working on spec doesn't make you an artist. But it wasn't an ad or an illustration or a canned, inoffensive image designed to fill layout space. A lot of people got seriously torqued about those paintings--they changed everything. That's the difference. "Mosca - define "obscene". In my country, the general definition is "Indecent; likely to deprave or corrupt". Pictures of naked children usually fall into that category." Here the legal definition varies from state to state, county to county. But in general, it means they'd have to be presented in clearly sexual/sexualized situations--that is, the same standard for obsceniy applies to CG images of children as it would for CG or non-CG images of adults. Everybody's so hysterical about this deal--a friend of mine just sent me a picture of her toddler sitting on a potty chair. It's cute as hell--are you saying it's obscene? Where's that at? "...a few months back when the PTB carded all the fairys I'm sure you remember that mosca ;)" Sure do. I also remember that they reversed their decision and invited me to repost the "questionable" image. And another image of mine using the same (naked) figure made it to #1 in the Hot 20. Here's what the TOS currently says on the subject: "No depictions of young humanoid characters in erotic, seductive, provocative poses or context." In other words, non-eroticized nudes are ok.
