my previous entry was removed and i was asked to submit it again with the nude parts covered.
so here is the censored version of the image.
BUT! before voting please visit the following link (only if you're 18+) before voting and vote the original image, and not the black dots.
link to original: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4805/sliced.jpg
if posting a link to the uncensored version is not acceptable either, then please remove this for good, because then i'd rather not submit this.
i don't have the link to the ground source, but i have the picture and the proof that i have the permission to use it. (5 years and 3571 days ago)
author. this is a great piece of work (as well as the other stuff in your portfolio) BUT it would be really cool if you made something new and fresh for this contest and not just submit artwork you obviously made months ago. just my personal preference, i don't think there's a rule about that on this site though. also, your sbs explains nothing.
i was waiting for months for a surreal contest just to be able to submit this, and now you're telling me to change it? no thanks. as about the sbs, i only uploaded some basic steps to prove that i created this, i don't really have time to do a detailed sbs now. anyways you should vote for the entry and not the sbs, there is a whole different rating system for sbs guides.
Owesome...
Amazing work (again). Great entry, congrats for this work.
Looks pretty good
Nice, except for the black spots :-b GL.
I really really like this... although you should get rid of the sensors .. I am pretty sure artistic nudity is allowed.. and honestly if people can't handle breasts and a pubic area they probably should not be in the world of art.....
i agree, just let them remove it, soon they will see that an art site with no art = no art site,
great work, and very lame, that the mods made you change this.
as i said, the uncensored version was removed, i was asked to censor the work. i'm not happy with it, but i can't do anything about it. please read description before voting and commenting!
I liked the original, not understanding the point of censoring this. It looks ridiculous...imo. Like putting a covering over the genitals of Michelangelo's 'David'. Oh well...nice job author...too bad you're dealing with entry removal here. You did a fine, fine job. Have you thought about re working the wrapping strategically to not reveal 'sensitive' areas? I know it would be a lot of work, but if it's important to you to have this entry here...maybe consider it. Personally...if this type of entry is too risque for this site, I would just have it removed and move on.
What a shame to have to censor this...better to just have it removed...
i thought about removing it, but i really wanted to hear your opinion about the work so i decidet to upload it the way it is. you can see a link to the uncensored wersion in the description so please view it. or...if you can convince the mods to allow me to upload the original...i'll be happy to do so. otherwise please do not commet the black dots and instead look at the original work.
I'm not sure why the heck you chose to put black dots on the lady bits! That was the dumbest idea ever! I don't mean that in such a harsh way. But this is a photoshop contest! Why didn't you just soften them out? Photoshop has plenty of ways to censor this image without sticking black dots up. The black dots take more away from this great image than I think is necessary.
I looked at the original (link) and it is very good
You should make a nice tutorial how you make this. :-b
Awsome piece and shame about the need to censor; perhaps if the nipple and genital area were simply blended then there would be no need to censor it? Great piece though and well done.
awesome entry, really excellent work. Fab.
I dont wan't to CHANGE this. I was asked to CENSOR the nude parts, but i don't want to change anything!
Author, LOL. First version is a succesful artistic interpretation of nudity. This one, with the black holes, is simply obscene. Hope moderator is satisfied with the result of censore.
Love this!!!! can I have the pg version :P
author please don't get me wrong i DO like the image and i won't vote low only because you made it a while back, just saying
I think you are right not to change anything. Best of luck.
Uncensoret version Pls!!!
I must to say I see many more nude pic on this site and they win so I dont think your pic it's so provocative or a child can't look at her but "some mod" didnt see this(sorry guys but that's it)...and yes thats a measge for all mod...good job author...I hope to see your pic in top 3
very well done, I agree this is an artistic nude, (I did see it before the dots) too bad about narrow minds. would love to see a tutorial on this - I bet it's not so difficult once you see the technique, but just to look at the final, I can't tell how you did it...
i really don't have time to do a detailed sbs right now, but perhaps sometime in the future, when i'll be less busy, i will make a detailed tutorial and upload it in the tutorials section. i do have all the layers and everything, but to describe in detail how i made this would take me longer than the actual work on the image, which also took me about 2 days.
so for now just enjoy the end result (the uncensored one of course)
OMG! I can't believe you have to put dots over this? That's insane!!!!!!!!!! The original was absolutely wonderful, and should not have been censored at all. WTF? I'm re-favoriting this even though the dots thing is ridiculous. I've seen them let dead babies stuffed in garbage bags stay, but yours gets removed? That makes me ill.
well, i used the simple black dots to censor this just to point out the ridiculousness of the censoring and to make people want to look at the original, not the so obviously censored one.
I think you did a wonderful work on the original version of this entry. You are taking your point of view, about this wonderful expression of Surrealism by putting those black dots over the image. The image should not have to be censored. In that case, people should cover their eyes when going to museums or The Vatican, where, nude art overflaps the walls! You did a great job, and wait to see your Tutorial.... good luck and big thumbs up!
Before blaming the mods more please read this: http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1442
What wonderful surrealism.
Why don't you just blur the parts? It would be less distracting. =) But it's amazing anyway! =)
That's is pretty weak you had to censor it but I agree with everyone who said just smooth out the parts that are not allowed, rather than the ugly black dots. IMHO, I think the surrealism would be more if you blended out the nips and lips.
you guys just don't get it, do you?
Don't blur anything out... it is your image, and it's clear you;re trying to defend it. The black spots won;t stop me giving you a very high vote, and i'm sure many people feel the same way.
great work! truly surreal! GL! sad for art to be sensored... the same people want the statue of david to wear some underpants...
I have just looked at the uncensored version and even though it is fantastic, I think I prefer this one. There is a lot more mystery to it and it appears more surreal.
Author your work is really amazing....Nice creativity,...Nice work....Would not like to point what everyone has already done....But a beautiful work,,....Good luck...
with all the comments here in favor of the authors original, it seems to me the site admin should put it back, i mean, if the goal is to please the members?
What is wrong with you people?!? Why all this drama and blaming the mods and the admin for an image which wants, by any means to stand out of the crowd, by showing explicit nudity? This was very nicely done, no doubt, but it's not the most original idea ever and it's also not Michelangelo, to keep comparing it with museum art! And author, this is might be a perfect way to draw attention and sympathy towards your work, but blending in the private parts was not such a big of a deal, especially that you were allowed to upload your image again AND post a link to the original!
appreciate it!
Congrats!!
Howdie stranger!
