ye ancient nekkid hussy

Post by me_in_japan » Tue Oct 05, 2010 12:53 pm

I poached this link from somebody on CMON. This is an italian site where they have extremely (and I mean extremely) high res pics of classical masters. Worth a look if you want to learn about colour usage and composition and other such technicalities, or if you just like classical art. Or nekkid goddesses...

Oh, no! Those are anthropomorphic representations of higher intellectual ideals, nude only as the truth is naked, unadorned, pure.
The other excuse for classical/neo-classical/academic pin-up girls is "historical alegory" or "Orientalist" art.
Which reminds me. I have an anthropomorphic representation of my Amazon warband leader just about finished. Just need to smooth some intellectual ideals and get some paint on her.

You see, this is where things get problematic. On the one hand, yes, it is a picture of a naked woman. On the other hand, any kid who went to a museum would see the same thing and be told that it's art.

One quick edit of Konrad's post later and the image is still available, but doesnt show up unless you click the link. At which point you can see said naked woman and a room full of pervs to go with her.

In all honesty I rather like looking at naked women and the internet has LOADS of sites just for that. This is a gaming site, so lets try and keep things related to gaming eh? I didnt delete the link, you just have to deliberately click it to view it.
