It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

What sort of woman wants to shoot nude?

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 11, 2011, 3:00 PM

Short answer: Every woman!
That includes your girlfriend or wife. Your sister. And even your mother.
What does it mean? Are them all whores who deserve no respect? As long as some viewers may think so, this is not the case.

Nude photography is about beauty. It's about worshipping femaleship. It's about showing the wide spread of such a beauty. It's about showing that beauty comes in every size or color. And it's about empowering women and giving them full control over their bodies.

But most of all, nude photography is about respect. As long as most woman (no matter how much they wanted to) are still afraid to pose for nude shots, there are quite a few who show the courage to display their bodies and face the consequences and judgement for assuming their bare beauty. It's easier when you're an artist yourself, and live in an eviroment where nakedness is tolerated and even encouraged. But many models are just brave women with normal jobs and lives, yet willing to break free from sexist chains and find how beautiful thet really are.

Have it in mind when browsing nude photography on DA or anywhere else and be sure to show respect and admiration for these amazing women.

Check these amazing artworks by some of the finest nude models and photographers in DA. Browse their galleries. And show some respect.

If only the vast majority of women around here wanted to pose nude like where you are. It would make my life a lot easier!...Well actually it's their BFs & husbands that seem to stop them. Probably the same men who like nothing more than to see other guys partners in the nude.

Otherwise than that i completely agree. It does amaze me that they're so free being nude whilst i'm concerned with looking out for 'visitors' while trying to photograph them (The fun of outdoor nude photography).

Have often thought whether the ones who complain, or think of our works as nothing but masterbation material, should actually go on a shoot to see how unerotic standing in a field of cowshit is, that the only physical contact is a big hug after the shoot's over, & that it takes enormous courage to stand around naked when anyone could literally walk around the corner. Maybe that could open their closed minds?

Despite of their partners they still WANT to do it.

But I'm sure you can find a lot of single beautiful models
wanting to try some nude art shoots.

You made a good point here: how unerotic it may be to shoot nude!
Concerns about lighting, composition... attention to every single detail...
Locations too hot, too cold, too dusty...
You can't really tell it just looking at the pictures. And it makes me
even prouder of our work... how we (photographers and models) can turn it all
into beauty, poetry and glamour.

I know what you mean. I did an outdoor shoot last weekend. Beautiful clear skies but absolutely freezing cold (it's winter here). I put a summer hat on her head & shot mainly in sepia. It made it look like a beautiful hot summers day. The unglamourous made glamourous.

I disagree that every woman wants to pose nude.

I'm sure you've met a different sampling of women than I have. As a female I find it surprising that you would say (in another comment) that every woman you've talked to about the idea of posing nude either wanted to do it but was untrusting of the photographer or wanted to do it but felt too self-conscious. Perhaps this has to do with the culture of where you live/work, or because you instinctively/subconciously know what kind of woman to ask.

Personally, the idea of posing nude is very discomforting. I have no doubt that the photographer would do a good job, no matter what I think of my body; I have trust that the photographer would not suddenly molest me. Yet I still would never do it, not even if I was offered a ridiculously large amount of money.

Perhaps I am a rare case, but I am not even comfortable being nude alone. I abhor the thought of being nude around friends or family. Even my trusted boyfriend is not allowed to see me nude.

What kind of thing would you say to try to convince a woman like me to model?

hi sorry i have to ask this questions.
what the hell makes you feel not comfortable being nude alone?
And the boyfriend you talked about, are you in a relationship with him? If yes do you have sex only with switched off lights ore no sex at all?
Please don´t get me wrong, i am only interested.
