I've made a decision...
The image at right is a recently completed commission, and a good example. Changing the words used to describe it really can't change what's clearly happening there. In the future, I'll have to make sure each scene is obviously voluntary.
Oh certainly, I will continue to draw intense and filthy sexual scenes, FOR SURE! ;) I will simply avoid trivializing this particular issue. Those of you who have worked with me know I won't draw blood or mutilation, and the same goes for children. This new decision is in the same vein. Whatever I or the customer may intend, the subject is off limits.

I highly respect you for this decision. Using euphamisms (like struggle-sex) for it only makes it worse.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteI mean even when viewing stuff from most of the artists' who do work for SHC, they may have a poll for an ongoing comic/story & give options on what occurs next & it's suprising (in a bad way) how many times the majority decisions makes the bulk of the artwork move away from the hot sex you thought you'd get & just veer toward sheer violence for the next buttload of panels.
So yes please, lean MOORE toward smut not snuff, thank you :)
