Nightwing/Arsenal fanart (colored version)

[ratcreature]

On a related note, could someone explain to me what kind of pictures are commonly regarded as "not worksafe" when labeling fanart? I realize that pictures where you can see genitals would be considered NWS, but at which point does NWS start? Like, would the picture in this post already be labeled NWS by common convention, just because they're naked and kissing, even though you don't really see much of their bodies and they're not doing more than kiss? I mean, it's not what you'd consider an "adult" picture, certainly not here, but I don't think it would be in the US either, odd as those rating systems are.

BTW, are other people also still having problems with the LJ comment notifications? By now I get notified of some again, but still not of all. *grumble*

Ohhh, man. The proportions/POV kind of lose me a little -- especially with Roy's lower body -- but... yeah. Wow. So *bright*. So... I would please like to have a Dick sprawled over my lap. Man.

(Also, I LOVE YOUR RATCREATURE ARSENAL. SO MUCH.)

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

I'm not sure what causes the proportions to look wrong to you, because I've drawn the pose mostly from a photo reference, though I've changed the position of Roy's left leg from the way it was in the photo because it looked really odd to me when I copied the position exactly (somehow it didn't appear to be properly attached to the body). The photo was a bit more shadowed than my drawing, so I might have deduced outlines or proportions of areas that were in the shadows in the photo slightly wrong, despite my attempts to verify it with the typical body construction blocks. Sometimes it doesn't work so well to base poses on photos, because they just look wrong when you draw them.

And you have to thank derryderrydown for the existence of Arsenal!RatCreature, because she requested that motif when I asked what icons I ought to draw. It'd have never occurred to me to make an Arsenal one otherwise, but I'm quite pleased how it turned out. :)
