Description
CENSORED
As some of you know, the Moderators here at Renderosity removed ‘Zenobia and her Zebra Twins’, because of a member’s complaint. I decided to delete ‘Shot & Echo’ after the event, because I was informed a second offense would go on my ‘member’s’ record.
For some reason I can’t fathom why one member of our community found what I considered to be nothing more than “DELIGHTFUL INNOCENTS” immoral and caused the piece to be censored.
I can’t imagine what that person saw or thought they saw.
Child Pornography is not part of my visual vocabulary. It will be a sad day for all of us who lend our talents to RENDEROSITY if COMPETITION and PERSONAL AMBITION makes some of us MONSTERS!
I want to personally thank all of you that viewed, commented and rated Zenobia & her Zebra Twins, as well as ECHO & SHOT. Your support has meant so much to me.

Astonishing that decision !!! your pic was'nt porno or shocking ........ the same thing happened with me because I was innattentive and I forgot one day to put clothes on a Young Lady ..... If you remember for 40 years David Hamilton and his beautiful shots of young people wasn't censored and it was accepted by a lot of people and published everythere !!!!! stunning how we evolved today ? Only one word !!! Don't matter.....keep on your good work her .........
Sorry to hear about your trouble. I personally find all of your art very elegant and tasteful. I see nothing pornographic in anything you do.
Sorry to hear, your work is far from obscene. Keep up your wonderful work.
I don´t think I saw that image, but I'm sorry you had problems, because after all it's ART! and you are a splendid artist: Any way that's how all this works ;( About todays picture it's really expressive and fabulous ;O)
Ohhhhhh I love it ! eerie and awesome !
Something really sad and i'm sorry that it happened. I think your creations are beautiful and that also goes for the images removed. I don't an never will understand these kind of peolple. I'm with you man,keep on creating beautiful images,they rock.
now you know why so many rendo artists have moved to deviant art. you should try it, you will love it there. I am sorry to hear of your work being removed.
Beautifull and emotional!
I an agree with what Delbeke wrote on his comment: This is what Delbeke say: I am with you, I can't fathom why anyone could find the image offensive. Both were creative, imaginative and Beautiful works of art that I thought were cleverly and expertly done. I can assure you that if I thought there was anything offensive concerning children, I would have let you know loud and clear. There was nothing wrong with your images and it truly pisses me off that someone would complain. THERE ARE STRANGE THINGS GOING ON AROUND HERE LATELY. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE SO HUNG UP ON COMPETITION AND ENVIOUS OF OTHERS WORK THAT THEY WILL PLAY THE GAME OF BAD RATING WITH A SMILE AND OTHER SNEAKY THINGS. So sorry the image was pulled and you pulled the other. Wonderful works of art. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't say it. I am 110% agree with Delbeke...Sessan
Xcellent composition! Couldn't have said it better myself!
i saw your image and it wasn't pornographic in any way. What's this world coming to?
Very creative work, well done!
I loved those images and I found you over at DA so I will be checking out your gallery and adding those images to my favs over there for I had them faved here!! This is a great piece as well!! Not sure why someone would get a bug up there @ss for those pieces, ohh wait I know it was a holier than thou type wack job that explains it!! Well at least I found you at DA!!- Shawn
A sad sad day indeed. I do know however, where I can still view these two wonderful artworks. I'm liking the other site more and more with every occurrence here.
It's a shame when we as artists are censored.That said this is an incredible image!!
yeah, some of my pics (the 'normal' ones) were censored, too - still dunno why. we have millions of tits here at r'rosity and nobody complains about it.. anyway, great pic!
Well well well.... as i have'nt the luck to see these two pictures, i can't really have an "impartial thinking" about it. One thing it's sure, this sad situation shows us how... disappointing an excess of "morality" could be. Since centuries we could have seen human body painted, sculpted, used as artistic medium in all the possible angles and suports, and i don't think we could be shocked in front of a renaissance paintig just because we see angels painted as child figures. Is it a matter of context? Maybe, religious and sympbolic art pieces are not the same, and interpretations may vary with their context. But we have to admit too that nowadays, situation is not the same: we have "discovered" how evil an human being can be, how "inhumanly" he can think or act; but is there a reason to be so paranoïd? Is there a reason to act as anything could be a source perversity? For sure we must have laws, for sure a kind of censure must exist, in any society or community. We must have this, and we need it, but in this situation, is this decision realy useful.... As we say, only god knows...
At the first, this must be an adult place. And, later, is too clear the hypocresy of covering how are the adults, a more remarkable tendence with the midis proliferation. Ingenuosly, they think, the future adults will be better than the actuals, as in all times they believe it.
you artwork is astounding and that makes you a threat to some.....I find it odd that in the galleries we can have poorly done images, which are no more complex than simply following the tutorials that you get with the software, yet when someone puts heart, soul, and sweat into an image, it can be mugged by one person with a gfrudge against good work..... at least there should be some sort of appeals process... in the real world, you are granted even that much. my 3 cents (2 cents with added tax)!
I like both renders that were removed. I thought toss aloud baby and tottler boys to have bare chest???? Please don't give up, you could put the Zebras pattern over the chest area. Then it wouldn't be a naked chest. Same with the other(That you took down) only pick up cloth you already have showing.and cover chest in some clever way. I know the Moderators are not out to get you. They have to ask themselves does this break toss? Yes the Bare Childs chest. There is no bending these child rules. Keep up the Great Artwork.
That's outragious, it's fantasy art. I wish these people would get a life instead of being art police. Shish!!!!!!!
Censored????..... ha ha ha! Fantastic!
Splendid expression against the censorship.....!!! Lament vastly that to you it has happened him this. When I wanted to see their work a text that he told this" the work appeared it can only be seen by the moderators." I didn't have the opportunity to see it for what I cannot give my appreciation, my words they won't be original but the censorship is not good for anybody since attentive against the freedom of speech.
wow she is very beatiful!!!:)
Really sad what happened to you and i can understand you. Faboulous work again. Some people should stay away from Art sites. :(
Gorgeous! Well done :)
That simply sucks, I did not get a chance to see the image at all. I'll bet, from the comments I'm seeing here, they were both wonderful images. Unfortunately, one, people in this country can be so uptight. And two, people in this community can be so damned vindictive. I doubt that either will change in the near future.
Sorry to hear that
wonderful work!!
I am sorry for your troubles, I have never seen any image from you that is in any way questionable! I don't understand on what basis their complaint was made. I assume the individual has not spoken to you concerning their issue.... Interesting that they rarely do. This is a great image by the way!
