Artistic Nudes - A study by Fahd A. Paracha

=fahap:iconfahap: reports, 2d 7h ago
Depictions 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.

The actual way of organizing content is somewhat not perfect, cause it links two things that should be independant : genre and tech of an image.

deviantART's Mature Content Hypocrisy

*sephys-little-cloud:iconsephys-little-cloud: reports, 2d 22s ago
Why does the deviantART staff refuse to enforce their own rules sometimes? When it comes to prohibited content such as pornography and underage nudity, why do they let some obscene material stay up, while innocent deviations get deleted?

deviantART CEA; FAQ #565 and Policy Interpretation

=exsecror:iconexsecror: reports, 20h 49m ago
The 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.

How to add css to your collections

*Leandra20:iconLeandra20: reports, April 10
First time ever doing a 'how to' article.
I'm not gonna be good at it so please don't mind my unprofessional explantations and horrible english.
I hope I'm right in 'editorals'....?!


Many people asked me how I managed to change the backgrounds,fonts and font colors of my collections and gallery folders and of course I'm always trying to help out everyone with the css.
So here are 2 examples of what it could look like

In a gallery folder
*
In a favorite collection


Of course these are mine because I didn't found any other ones that had css in it just yet.
I bet you gonna love this and I saw so many great collections that would look even cooler with a fitting color theme^^


So this is the way to go (for dummies like I am one):

go to your collection/gallery folder >> edit >> options >> style


now your can add a css to your collection-this is the css with plain black background,grey supscript font under the thumbs and a white supscript font for the title:

body{
background: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Supscript;
font-size: 12px;
}
div.folderview-top h2 {
color:#ffffff !important;
font-weight:100;
}

simply copy this in your css bar,adjust the colors or font and font sizes until you're satisfied with the style of your collection.

Font colors


I hope this was helpful for a few-I'd be pleased if you spread the word wit a fave on this article so everyone is able to collect with style!

Thanks for reading
*Leandra20

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

:doh: I just CSS-ed my gallery and collections the other day!


*davecheesefish's top tips: Gallery CSS

:aww: If you're not very confident with CSS, you can download complete CSS packs to use like [link] or you can build your own (like I did) using the reference sheet at [link]

:) I think it can make your art/favourites look better, but only if done well, so be careful... maybe bright pink and yellow isn't the best colour scheme to show off your art to it's full advantage! :lol:

:confused: I would advise dark colours like black, grey and dark or washed-out shades of any colours your thinking of using, but don't use too much colour - it'll distract people from the art, and we really don't want to do that!
