What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? It's not as big of a deal now... but years ago dA didn't show any nudity. It was a big deal to show nudity even tasteful artistic kind. I had originally posted this image without the censorship. In reality not a big deal, nothing too special about the photo. At the time I was exploring using lighting techniques and the model was not shy about her body. But the image blew up because of a small slit of her vagina showing close. It was a big protest on the boards and te image was removed. In protest I reposted the image with censored and it blew up again with comments and people liking that I put censored on it. I think the image even got DD but at the time it made DD they didn't give the awards they do now. I enjoyed the time and it felt good to be one of the people on dA that helped get things changed. I had lots of discussions with admins and such at the time.

Usage
I have a general policy that if you wish to do a drawing of my photographs, go for it. In my mind if you are doing a drawing you are creating an image and art in your own right.
In regards to manipulation, if you are creating a work of art I am ok with this too. I mean real digital manipulation. For example:
No, I do not give a general carte blanche to use my images as sign tags, skins and have not.
