In recent weeks I been studying poses and practicing where I can. I also feel I took a nose dive into erotica when I should have had more self control. I openly admit that I desire to give more respect to my art then I have been. However, this begs the question. In Andrew Loomis “Figure Drawing For What Its Worth,” there is a sense of respect to each study, object, and person. I imagine translating this to pony and in general fury art things can get hairy. “Pun might not be intended.”
In retrospect my opinion is central to the point of “does this create implicit detail to arousel?” If it has the appearance of provocative then its erotic. If the pose seems like an every day life moment then its a human figure characteristic. Yet, I find there is a reasonable cross between the two where it might be provocative, but not with the soul purpose of explicit erotica.
I figured I would start a discussion on this simply because this is a fascinating area in art theory. More along the lines of ethics in art, but one that should be given some time to consider. Every artist in my oppinion should understand the underlying concept of anatomy and the biology of characters. Especially when its in representation of a human characteristics to a non-human thing. After all, expression should have some sort of substance to whats underneath.
