Artist's Comments

:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

I removed what was deemed as the "sexual" element from this art because it was removed from DA, even though she clearly appears OLDER in this artwork of her and there is NO NUDITY. It is JUST a costume. The chains and/or situation have absolutely no sexual connotation, nor is any intended.

There is a difference between “sexy” and “sexual”. This picture is canon in nature, as this exact thing happens to her in Lucasfilm LICENSED material… And THIS OUTFIT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN A BATHING SUIT. The straps are nothing more than garnish and *more* material for cover.

HER SHILI OUTFIT WAS JUST AS REVEALING AS THIS, and that is canon and she was 14 when she WORE that outfit! Why nobody can tell the difference between a stick-tube 14 year old and the Ahsokas that I draw, I will never know.

I was devastated for about two weeks and avoided DA so hard after this was removed. (Even contemplated not renewing my subscription because so much of my stuff gets taken down incorrectly from here, it's really heartbreaking.) I was and still am distraught.

My original artist statement, which I poured my heart into I can never have back, nor can I have all of the amazingly wonderful encouraging comments back from all of you brilliant people. My peers, fellow artists and friends... They are gone forever...

As a site geared toward artists, the DA staff should at LEAST warn us before they remove a piece. They should know how important things like that are to their resident artists. ESPECIALLY SINCE I FUCKING SUBSCRIBE.

I would have given anything to save them.

Anyway. I finally manned up, decided to just do what was necessary to post this and move on so hopefully I will get drawing again. I've had such a nasty taste in my mouth from all of this, I haven't even wanted to draw.

I love deviantArt and attempt to comply with my interpretation of the rules to the best of my ability and succeed far greater than many pieces of art which are NEVER taken down.

Ok, EL. Shut up and go have a cigarette. Boo-hoo.

Well I think that DA is being a baby, We all here Know this canon and a great canon at that. Lucas put the girls in more revealing outfits then you do. DA should just man up more.

Dude, you're a button pusher, that's all. I think your art is way appropriate, no issues here...

All of the straps actually make it less revealing than a bathing suit.... more cloth actually! ahaha!

She's so clearly NOT a little girl in your art that its really upsetting that this would get taken down. She's obviously matured, no matter how old she is in the show, she's obviously not a baby in your picture.

Meh, its the new Admins who don't take stuff into account that suck, they remove stuff for no reason anymore.

Although, they judge this by what age the character is MOST of the time. But I agree that sometimes they really do remove shit for NO reason >A>

They removed one of my friends Flashes, even though it did not contain any Copyrighted Music, and the fact that both of the fucking characters in it were FANMADE. Seriously, we need smarter admins :\

Still like it even though its edited slightly. :U

Don't think too much into it, even though I know it hurts when something is removed :\

From what I've heard the DA admins fluctuate seemingly randomly, super strict to lax on a lot of unsavory things. But there was really nothing wrong with the original.

Also Welcome back!

awww, poor El :hug:

WEll i must add, the shine on her butt and back looks very nice. For some odd reason its look alot sharper, or maybe thats because i fixed up my screen :?

I have changed to a new account...this one: ~the-secret-monkey. I'll still reply to comments and stuffs (on this account), but I'll make all my new ones off that account. Consider us one and the same. Gradually, I'll phase out entirely this one...<3
:icongo-devil-dante:
HAHA I feel you man, I had the dev deleted of sokka and zuko's heads, sweating after the marathon.... sure if they read any further they could gather I was being much more dodgy but the pic itself showed heads. yes.... dirty heads.

and I was so proud cos I thought I'd PG'd it pretty well. o well, dam snitches on da.

this is pretty tho, I love how she's being pulled 2 ways (I've imagined that sort of situation... on boys of course haha!) Very cool looking :P
