I've recently had two of my thumbs pulled due to violation of the TOS. Im not going to get into an argument over whether or not the TOS is fair. Thats open to an (endless) debate. However when you leave it open to interpretation of the TOS - then there is going to be problems.
My newest image was this:
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1466914
Now in order for me to make a sensible thumb that shows more than just her head (which is all the gallery thumbs seem to be now when showing images with nudity) was impossible. To be fair to the image, I wanted to show the horse and the dolphins. In order to comply with the TOS - i painted a white bikini on the thumb. Now at the end of it - why does the thumb get pulled? There is no offensive (lol) nipples showing and I get to represent my illustration with proper representation.
The thumb gets pulled anyway
WTF?
Im trying to find a happy medium that is fair to the artist and still complies with the TOS - but there doesn't seem to be any.
I had another image pulled "hurts so good". My email said that it was the thumb that was pulled. However it appears that both the thumb and the image was pulled and is "under review"
She is wearing a thong in the thumb and no nipple is showing. So I can only assume that the thong shows more than the "standard" bikini.
What the hell is a standard bikini?
It just seems that for someone such as myself who specializes in pinup work - its very hard to be able to show my work here without ruffling some feathers.
