Oh geez, its a joke. Is that really so horrible a thing to do?

Its not like he did it just to get pageviews from those who frequent this forum, he did it because there's some irony in the fact that drawing big boobs (or people getting them) gets the pageviews and he purposefully drew something that alluded to it without actually going there.

Fine, its not BE and this is a BE forum, and I could argue that he posted it in the wrong place just because almost no one got the joke. So it may not be comedy gold, but the artwork is nice and its my opinion that you should support an artist who's shown he's got skill and who has, in fact, posted process material before.

So lay off him, take it easy, and get a sense of humor. =P

I'm pretty sure LoreKeep would have some words against this.

I understand it was meant for a joke, however, we aren't here for jokes. This board was not set up to get people to view your Deviant art. If he wanted to do that, a link in his sig would have been good enough, no?

You know, if I had posted this in Off Topic then people would have known already that something was up, and then it wou'dnlt have been funny. but apparently it wasn't funny to you guys anyway.

Thanks to those who showed support.

I understand the joke that was implied.

Here's where things got off:
He posted it in the BE board, which is reserved for BE pics/comics/etc. HOWEVER, he did it with good reason: it was BE-themed, and so he thought it'd be best for the BE board, not the General Discussion board.

So bottom-line: it was an honest mistake, with good intentions. He didn't do it for pageviews, it's just that the picture itself was making a joke on that topic.

I've already given my opinion on this back when the journals were posted. However, it's fair to chime in here.

Yes, as a technicality, the post really didn't belong here, but that doesn't mean we should pile on him and try to accuse him of being a pageview-whore or attack him for posting in the wrong forum. He's contributed here, and I think he deserves just a little respect in that regard.

As far as what he's saying though, it's partly true. When you get attention from a porn community, that's what they're looking for, and the rest doesn't interest them. Another factor that I didn't think of at the time is that he doesn't post a link to his regular artwork in the appropriate transformation forum. I've seen his posts in Gen. Disc., but a lot of people here don't even bother to read that forum at all. That counts for a fair amount of page views. Don't believe me?
