=fahap
reports, 2d 8h ago
reports, 2d 8h agoDepictions of nudity refers to nudity in all the artistic disciplines including vernacular and historical depictions. Nudity in art has generally conformed — with some variation — to social standards for public nudity; in cultures where nudity was accepted, nude figures in painting and sculpture were as well.

deviantART CEA; FAQ #565 and Policy Interpretation
=exsecror
reports, 21h 41m ago
reports, 21h 41m agoThe purpose or rather intent of this news article is to address the increasing concerns by many deviantART members (including myself) as to the recent results from the new Policy Violation Reporting System and the deviantART Copyright Etiquette and Administration (CEA) team. I should stress that this is not meant as an attack or attempt to defame what the CEA team does. They do a fantastic job at making sure that deviantART is clean but rather it addresses a serious concern about interpretations of two FAQs, namely #565 and their compliance with United States Code Statutes.

Vexel Art Gallery
`Aeires
reports, Nov 27, 2006
reports, Nov 27, 2006Vexel gallery? What? Wait, we don't have a vexel gallery. Well, we will soon and that's why I'm writing this news article.
Over the next few weeks I am going to start to put together all the subgalleries for a proper vexel gallery. Yes, that means we will officially have a legitimate vexel gallery of its own. This new gallery will be in the digital gallery section in a place of its own, just like vector has its own area. Before we do that, all the categories have to be hammered out and sifted through to see which ones are needed and which ones we can live without.
First off, if you're not completely sure what a vexel image is, read this vexel description. After digging around on the net, that's a great source of information about the medium. Hats off for such a clear and easy to understand definition.
This is going to be completely new so how the other digital galleries are set up are not important. Subgalleries for the other sections might not be appropriate for a vexel section so let's start from scratch.
A minimum collection of galleries might include:
1. People
2. Animals
3. Vehicles
4. Abstract
5. Scenery
6. Fanart
7. Open Format (for images that don't exactly fit in the other galleries)
The goal is to create enough diversity so all vexel art can be submitted properly, but, not so wide spread that it is difficult to maintain. In other words, keep is simple, keep it clean.
Now's your turn, let me know what you want. Not promising to use every idea but the great ones will be put in place. When you make a suggestion, think what it would be like if you had to police it. Is it too close to another subgallery, not really going to get much art posted to it, too difficult to figure out what it means? Let us together create something that we all can be proud of and enjoy browsing every day.
If you want to help, speak your opinions politely, pass the word, and fave this article so it shows up in the popular page. The more people know about this, the better it can be.

I do some damn picture tracing, sometimes I paint it a bit, and sometimes manipulate it a bit, but the creative processus of vexel art is just the same as any photomanipulation, digital art painting, or vector art creation.
I never manged to see vexel art as a form of art any different from general digital/vector art, and I don't get the point of making even more galleries... the submission process is already divided enough.
Of course, that's just one opinion, and the general opinion might diverge from mine.
I'm getting kind of pissed with dA not having one. It makes your part vectors unappreciated.

It is, however, becoming extremely popular with a lot of people requesting a change be made. Because of this, it warrants its own section. Other sections will also benefit from this as images that really don't fit the criteria will no longer crowd them out.
But, I do value your feedback and appreciate the critique. Everything will be considered so that any change will be done as efficiently as possible with as little headaches as can be managed.

I've always seen vexel art is a way to evade the truth - it actually is vector art, just in a different form.
To prove that it is, I created a flash utility that could convert vexel to vector and vector to vexel with just 6 lines of coding. Can't find the file anymore, but I can redo it if that can prove my point: vexel art IS vector art as much as photomanipulation is photography. As photomanips and pictures are in the same category, why should vexel art split from the vector art category?
Anyway, if it can help, try integrating a death&macabre category too, I'm quite fond of vexel art when working with such stuff
Vector art category: [link]
And "Vexel" is considered a part of the vector art category...
Macabre/dark was one of the sections that came to mind so I can see that happening.

From pioneering in this art a few years ago to now using it almost daily, I never had the feeling that I was doing anything else than vector art.
But that probably only comes from me...
