Male & Female & Manipulation

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 29, 2007, 12:33 PM
I'm certainly not the only one who has noticed the difference between the amount of females in photo manip art compared to males.  Plus, many stock providers have an abundance of female pictures which i'm sure encourages the trend.  It not only prevails in photo manip art, but art in general.  Some would say that females are more beautiful, and yet periods in history have shown there has often been a preference for males.   These days, in a pro-female society, it would seem that male beauty has been forgotten, and perhaps even supressed, and female 'beauty' exaggerated to extremes.  It's only my personal opinion of course, and i think it's sad and a bit frustrating.

On another subject, i realise with a dev name like Wolfenchanter, my gallery would regular feature wolves.  Wolf stock isn't that easy to come by, but i plan to submit more pictures featuring wolves. :)  I'm suffering a little from artist's block lately.  I've been trying to do some pictures this past week, but for some reason i can't seem to get them right.  I guess i'll just take a break a while and hope my creativity will return.

"vague stock rules"? I'll have to look at that...

;) I am glad there are guys like you doing some great male stock :)

Someone else mentioned the 'vague stock rules' mainly because she wanted to use some pics outside of DA and i don't think some accounts mentioned it.
I have no problems with that though. I have no need to use any stock outside of DA.

So true; so far I've seen only four male stocks, but 1) is dead, 2) has very restricted rules (so it's of no use to me), 3) closed some time ago, so that leaves only one.
It's quite frustrating, really. :( I'm very picky about models, so... I stick to non-human manips. o.o

Yay for wolves! :w00t:
