That's also boarder line lolikon... not sure if I should flag it or not as its probably illegal in my country... :-?
EDIT: I'm sorry @Shahai, but I had to flag that image. We have very VERY strict laws here in the UK when its comes to this stuff. I'm certain that image is in breach of our Extreme Pornography Act. Could the admins please remove it? I'd rather not go to jail under kiddy porn charges.
EDIT EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm certain you posted this with all innocence Shahai. Not accusing you of anything.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Can't believe people are wtfing me for this... That's a picture of an alluringly dressed ten year old girl in what could possibly be termed a semi-sexual pose. If I'm going to get scorned for wanting it taken down then... wow... these forums are creepy.
I won a competition awhile ago to have Chris Bourassa paint a picture of Lodi. My profile pic is the end product.
Calling something like this "kiddy porn" seems quite off to me. Sure, she's wearing no clothing, but I see nothing erotic about it. Porn isn't defined by how naked the depicted subjects are, but by the implied sexuality and its goals.
But yeah, if it's not drawn by @Shahai, better remove it from the thread regardless. And it's always a good idea to explicitly name the author of anything you display.
@Iocun: Not when it comes to the legal definition of child porn within the UK. Look up the Extreme Pornography Act 2009 (I think it was brought into effect in 2009, could be wrong). Its a not very well known bit of legislation but is incredibly strict. That image is kinda border line, but its to close to line for my comfort.

It is a drawing you can find in the public (and therefore all audiences) section of deviantart.com. I did not even noticed the borderline fact until @Lodi pointed it out.
I agree it should be deleted if it goes against the forum and/or thread rules.

Well yeah, I was just stating my own opinion, not any legal assessment. I don't even know the exact definitions per my own country's laws and even less so the UK.
As someone who works with kids on a now-irregular basis, I can tell you that the 'moral guardians' of the UK aren't confined in their accusations by the strict letter of the law.
(95% of the time they have no idea what they're talking about and/or are overreacting, but w/e.)
I'll stick with 'Can we possibly get this taken down, please?'
I did not expect to launch a discussion about what is or what is not pronography in a particluar country. I said I understand @Lodi's position, that I understand @Cooper's post also. The post has been flagged, an admin will decide and I'll agree with whatever is decided about it.

I so don't see nudity when I look at that. Due to whatever those markings are coming out from her armpits, I just get the illusion she's wearing a body suit the same hue as her skin. Probably the fact that it's not and not blatantly vulgar. *shrug*
Either way, would like to see more player-drawn character art please.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
Obviously the admins have final say and I will respect their decision. But I'd feel safer if it was taken down. People get very, very jumpy about this issue over here. If I was looking at this thread in a public space, for example, there is a chance I could get into non-legl trouble if someone saw this image and took offense. I could, for example, get thrown out of a public library. Or worse... I don't know what its like over in the US, but to the Americans out there, please don't just assume its the same over here. Pediatricians have been attacked over here because people miss-read their job title as Pedophile.
Edit: Removed the opening paragraph after speaking further with Sena about the legal issue here. I was mistaken, thanks for clearing that up. Not feeling quite so jumpy now.

Don't care about the CP thing, but what I do worry about are when people upload pics (not meme related) that really should be credited with the name of the person that did it for situations like these threads which are created to showcase the original poster's art skills. Some have already pointed it out, but I may as well mention again.
Whether it's from Tumblr, DeviantArt, Pixiv etc, please please please credit the artist if you're going to pop it up publicly and there's a risk of people thinking it's your own. We starving freelancers work hard for our craft and the online folio is all we have to show our skills without slapping huge watermarks over the images. This is primarily why I've removed practically all my online profiles due to people not crediting (and also stealing) my more professional works.
Just my two cents. I'll go back to my drawing corner now.
