Hey guys- I need to know people's take on nudity in comics for a NON sexual storyline. I'm working on a Green Lantern fancomic which is about 12 pages long, and I get that I need to label it as mature if I post it here, but I don't want people to be offended by the fact that there's naked constructs in it, and I don't want to do arbitrary censoring of those naked constructs like they do in comics, so natrally, I'll be posting it as mature with filtering here cause that's DA's policies.
The deal is that it's all artistic nude stuff, so there's nipples, and pubic hair, but it's not meant to be sexual. They're just naked. For those of you wanting to read non sexual comics of characters, would you be offended seeing nipples or pubic hair? Below I'll attach a work in progress of what the most problematic page is to me-
Context (Please note- if you are disturbed by artistic nude or are underage, these links are not filtered):-
With nipples and pubic hair
Without pubic hair but with nipples
Please note, it looks WAY too strange to omit the nipples entirely and call her nude, so one of the above options really needs to be what I go for.
Opinions?

September update :)
IT's been a while since my last journal / art post, but I'm still around :) Again, I've been very busy on stuff!
The comic that I was talking about in my April journal is still happening, and I'm working on a lot of concept stuff in between everything else, but it's not goign to be ready for convention season in a few weeks time. It's OK thoguh, cause I'm finally finishing off a Captain America comic I started 3 or 4 years ago after Winter Soldier came out!
The comic is pretty small at 5 pages long, but it's been a HUGE boost to my self confidence, because a lot of problems I had with doing the comic on Silvyr was stamina, and my body havin
April catch up :D
Hey guys! How you all doing? I've been super quiet lately cause I've been very busy, and intimidated by my 15K backlog of notifications to get through and putting it off for future Killy's problem. I... kinda need to deal with it XD I know that most of it is deviations to look at so... I really hope I don't resort to mass deleting but I may need to T.T
Anyways, I've been really busy! Since my last journal in early February talking about how I was getting into water colours, I've been doing a lot more water colour art that I haven't posted cause well... I'm learning, and a lot of the pieces aren't going to turn out how I want it to, and that
Water colours
So I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I recently in the last month got into water colour. My friend slugette (https://www.deviantart.com/slugette) recommended a paper that doesn't fight me when I use it and suddenly, water colour art has become fun, and enjoyable :D I honestly thoguth till now that I was just rubbish at the medium and there wasn't any hope for me :)
So, right now I have 3 successful pictures to my name
I'm treating the water colour a bit like copics for now till I get use to using them, but I'm super proud of myself for how these are turning out TuT

In saying this, I need to do some studies on skin colour cause MAN,

I've been super quiet here, cause I've been processing the months since my last journal. I went straight into convention season where I had my second Overload since getting back into conventions, and only cried through half of it before getting the courage to ask people why they weren't buying my art. Finding out it was all stuff I could improve made a huge difference to my emotional health- I think I might get through the next convention without crying :) I then had Armageddon the month later, then Christmas rush happened shortly after, then I went to Hawaii for a holiday and got back 2 days ago... SO BUSY
So the big thing I found out a mon

As an artist, you create the world and everything within it. Therefore you decide what is natural, and if it is the way it should be, then don't let "outer" influences try to force what you feel to be natural.
In terms of my opinion, nudity is a perfectly natural and normal state of being, and should never be an issue. The fact a portion of society does have a problem with it shows how twisted it has become, sadly.
Therefore I think it should be increased in awareness anyway, to show that it's actually fine, and not damaging. I myself have no problem with it, and the first day I took drawing class with a nude model it never made me flinch in the slightest. Actually, the only surprise I had on the first day of drawing class was that we were going straight into drawing on the very first day, and not just covering aspects of the paper, which was what I was expecting.
Nudity is fine, go for it.
And as for pubic hair and no pubic hair, then the question lies with what is natural for the character. Sort of like how some guys shave their facial hair and some don't, if that makes sense.
