Yeah that is pretty sound. You got any more examples of aesthetics?
Loki how do I learn to draw people in an art style that doesn’t aim for hyper realism (the only drawing tool I have is a shitty Chromebook touchscreen and my finger) (all of the pencils in my house are dull)
Depending on how realistic the drawing is, and assuming you are a citizen of the United States of America, you could be charged with possession of obscene material.
I think its better to learn on paper with a pencil, or at least a drawing pad, rather than using your finger lol.
"18 U.S.C. § 1466A has been met with legal challenges regarding its modifications to obscenity law. In particular, the provisions of the law that establish an alternative obscenity test to the Miller standard have been challenged. In October 2008, a 38-year-old Iowa comic collector named Christopher Handley was prosecuted for possession of explicit lolicon manga. The judge ruled that two parts of the act that were broader than the Miller standard, 1466A a(2) and b(2), were unconstitutionally overbroad as applied specifically to this case, but Handley still faced an obscenity charge.[153][154] Handley was convicted in May 2009 as the result of entering a guilty plea bargain at the recommendation of his attorney, under the belief that the jury chosen to judge him would not acquit him of the obscenity charges if they were shown the images in question.[155]
A later ruling in United States v. Dean (2011) called the overbreadth ruling into question because the Handley case failed to prove that 1466A a(2) and b(2) were substantially overbroad on their face; Dean was convicted under the sections previously deemed unconstitutional due to the fact that the overbroadth claim in Handley was an as-applied overbroadth challenge, and was therefore limited to the facts and circumstances of that case,[156] whereas in Dean the defendant was charged under 1466A a(2) for possession of material constituting actual child pornography, which does not require a finding of obscenity,[157][158] and was read to fall within the language of the relevant statute. The facts of this case precluded Dean from satisfying the substantive due process requirements to satisfy a proper facial challenge against the relevant statutes.[159]
At the state level, some states have laws that explicitly prohibit cartoon pornography and similar depictions, while others have only vague laws on such content. In California such depictions specifically do not fall under state child pornography laws, while in Utah they are explicitly banned.[160][161] However, there are legal arguments that state laws criminalizing such works are invalid in the wake of Ashcroft, and some judges have rejected these laws on constitutional grounds.[162] Accordingly, the Illinois Supreme Court in 2003 ruled that a statute criminalizing virtual child pornography was unconstitutional per the ruling in Ashcroft.[163] On a federal level, works depicting minors that offend contemporary community standards and are “patently offensive” while lacking “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value”—that is, found to be “obscene” in a court of law—continue to stand as illegal, but only if the conditions for obscenity discussed above are met: mere possession of these works continues to be legal. Legal professor Reza Banakar has since stated that “serious artistic value” is very difficult to evaluate, and that the legal task of evaluating the lack of such value cannot be executed objectively.[164]
Due to the fact that United States obscenity law determines what is obscene in a court of law in reference to local standards and definitions exclusively on a state-by-state, case-by-case basis, the legality of drawn or fictitious pornography depicting minors is ultimately left in a ‘gray area’, much like other forms of alternative pornography. Some states pay less mind to the contents of such materials and determine obscenity based on time and place an offense may occur, while others may have strict, well-defined standards for what a community may be allowed to find appropriate. Others only may have vague laws or definitions which are only used to allow the government to prosecute recidivist offenders on both a federal and state level.[165]" (Wikipedia, Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors, Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors - Wikipedia)
Images of children in sexual poses, whether animated or not, falls under General Rule 6 (NSFW). I’ve gone ahead and removed your banner and the image that appears when you click your profile.
I’ve taken the assumption that you live in the USA. Children, whether animated or not, in sexually suggestive positions, is illegal under the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1988. In other western countries (E.g. the UK, Australia), this is illegal. Whether you’re from a western country or not, we moderate based around the laws of western countries. Hope you understand.

Misinput is the GOAT
Never in my life have I loved a moderator more.
Also having your tag just as :3 is such a metal thing to do
It is over please for the love of whatever god you believe in, cease
I learned how to do art by sketching. my tremor makes anything finer impossible, so I draw like… well, I’m insane. Heavily inspired by Faith: The Unholy Trinity, the Boots Boots Boots poem, and depictions of how schizophrenics would draw in media. I can make that type of art, so I do.
I like aiming for academia ones and forest-like ones.
I’ve always been deeply into HEMA and medieval combat. When I saw the HEMA group at the renfaire, I mentioned I can never pick just one weapon and they said it is ALLOWED to be an ARSENAL. I love warhammers, maces, greatswords, shortswords, daggers, bows, staves, (very partial to one sided shortswords, they feel so good to use in VR games and to hold models)
Holy fucking shit man this is like creepy stuff
This is my 13th reason btw/j
We as a society have to start telling pedophiles to kill themselves more often
