Pure Character Art

Because lewd is haram.

...

Character art is not Veeky Forums related. RPG characters are not supposed to have visual appearances.

...

...

>character art thread
>post images that are not portraits
>post images that don't actually show a single character, showing more than one or in such a way that the image can't even be meaningfully cropper

Why not just call it "fantasy art" instead of "character art" because it clearly isn't the latter.

Mostly what I look for in art is the ability to crop it into a token, frankly.

also nothing is more pure than the bond between man and hound

If lewd is haram, why is still up?

How does one go about measuring "lewdness" and "purity"? One man's bathroom tile is another man's erotic fantasy, after all.

If someone finds the thought of a woman wearing a burqa unbearably arousing, does the act of wearing burqa suddenly become sexually obscene?

Depends on the collective

Oh, we're starting this now? Maybe we should get a new trail board to ban all character art

I believe they were being facetious.

Damn, we had fallen down since the glorious days of Thulsa Doom demanding bitches.

Do go ahead and make a Thulsa Doom thread please. Go on. Please make one.


You not posting for a bit would be good for this board.

It has nothing to do with the lewdness or purity of the character, a lewd character can still be Veeky Forums-related and playing a slut doesn't mean that you do erotic roleplaying. But some pics obviously belong on /e/ or /aco/ and may be only used for erpg, which belongs on /soc/.

To be fair, I understand the moderator's decision, even if it rubs me the wrong way. So long as the decision is that threads dedicated to art of a cheesecake/beefcake/risque but SFW nature are not alright, but art that is of a cheesecake/beefcake/risque but SFW nature inserted into character art threads so long as they match the overall theme are.

That other guy was still a paranoid little twit though.

Depends on who whines to the mod and if the mod listens to the whiners

>bare midriff
>miniskirt
>thigh-highs

get that out of here

...

...

Given the vagueness of "This", I would argue that the mod was against shit posting about character image appropriateness.

Not sure why they should go into /e/ or /aco/.

> I would argue that the mod was against shit posting about character image appropriateness

I hope this is the case.

Are you saying that in this picture about a woman saving a man's life, you chose to focus instead on her clothes and exposed flesh?

That seems pretty impure, user.

...

It's a situation you can't win.

If we took that thread to /e/, they would bitch and tell us to take it to /aco/.

If we took that thread to /aco/, they would bitch and tell us to take it back to Veeky Forums.

But on Veeky Forums it's too lewd.

erpg does not belong on /soc/ at all though. /soc/ is a board for posting naked selfies and that's all.

I've got plenty of pictures of young adults, but not very many of middle-aged characters. So, requesting that.

...

...

it's only too lewd if one sperg keeps fighting it long enough. those twenty other threads before the last one went on just fine because he wasn't there to keep hammering aggression to try to get mod attention.

...

By middle-aged you mean people with grey hairs and liver spots? Or somebody just in their 40s?

Meant for

might have some you'd like.

Meta threads are also against the rules.

>no lessons were learned today

How does someone as dense as yourself exist?

Just goes to show that if you sperg hard enough, you will get your way.

Threads where you jerk off to anime girls are not Veeky Forums.

Character art threads that may include sexy or risque, or tasteful nude images are fine. They always have been. Sometimes characters are like that.

If the image is obviously pornographic, as in the primary point of the piece is to be sexually titillating, it does not belong here.

Stop crying about not being able to touch your dick while on a blue board, and facetiously talking about how the Mods or users here must be prude puritans who can't handle it. Grow up.

Just so you know, it's more than one person you weeb shitstain

Why don't you apply to be a janitor if you have such a massive hardon for wanting to police the board and letting others know about it?

I'm looking for something similar to this style, I searched but EYE doesn't have much art.
I was wondering if some warhammer 4k fan could help me, maybe there is something along these lines there.

In short, looking for more temple gun knights.

>Gehrman's Doll
>Not lewd
Fucking kek.

>If the image is obviously pornographic, as in the primary point of the piece is to be sexually titillating, it does not belong here.

Where is the deciding line? What clear, objective criteria is there to determine that? Even artist intent can't truly decide that, as sexuality to them may actually be so unique that something non-sexual others will to them be sexual, or vice-versa.

Do we have a philosopher of art on our hands, who has solved that age old debate of smut versus art?

His head will look funny on her body.

>Witches

>Thinking that someone dressed like her would resurrect anyone with pure intentions

Forties. Maybe, like, salt-and-pepper. I really like salt-and-pepper.

I meant to keep dumping but got sidetracked.

You're really fucking retarded (or young) if you think identifying smut is difficult or requires a philosopher. The biggest lie you've been taught is that everything is subjective. Some things are actually objective. Recognizing them is easy.

Not gonna be much of a dump, though. I've only got a small handful. Hence the request.

While I miss those threads, I'll honestly take this over flare spam. Now if only the mods would start fucking sending quest threads over to the board designed for them.

What is with that? Why would they make a board just for the fucking things and then not use it?

> What clear, objective criteria is there to determine that
> everything is subjective

Way to misrepresent an argument.

>You're really fucking retarded (or young) if you think identifying smut is difficult or requires a philosopher.

Nah, I just don't lead an unexamined life.

>The biggest lie you've been taught is that everything is subjective. Some things are actually objective.

Objectivity is fundamentally impossible due to the fact everything is reflected through the lens of human perception.

Also considering that there are still people who bitch about classical pieces of art being smut (of which there are plenty that it would be easy to argue as such) it's not as easy as you think.

Literally everything is subjective, and it goes a lot further than most take it.

So tell me, what is smut? It's not simply something designed to titillate, as theres plenty of classical art that meets that definition.

You're all ignoring the real problems on this board.

ALL THE FUCKING GENERALS.

Why can't we make /tgg/? I have to scroll past a dozen generals on the front page to find a normal post.

Even the quest threads haven't fully relocated yet, AGAINST THE RULES.

It's like Veeky Forums mods only pop on once every three months to ban someone at random.

I shall now dump art.

While you're correct that I didn't say that, I do indeed hold that everything is subjective. We're trapped behind the wall our own perceptions, which ends at the terminus of our bodies. Objectivity is impossible, and the world as we understand it is created entirely ideologically (not to say that the physical is ideology, but how we interpret what is, most certainly is pure ideology).

...

>I have to scroll past a dozen generals on the front page to find a normal post.
Wait, people still use the front page? Exclusively using the catalog made my life so much easier.

>AGAINST THE RULES.
There is no rule agaisnt it, you dumb shit. Because the people who got /qst/ made were never quest players and they pissed off the mods by talking shit to the actual quest players and runners so much.

They literally shitposted themselves into being ignored by the mods, they were being such assholes and self righteous "do-gooders".

We have no rules against it but we have rules what Veeky Forums is for:
>1. Board games, paper games, war games, card games, etc. go here!
Which of course makes this thread questionable.

And "sort by creation date".

I feel like there should be some emotional story about these two that's on the level of Golem 6b, or Noh.

>This spell is imperfect, we have to get you pumping--i mean your blood pumping right now or you'll die!
I dunno, sounds good to me

Your objective criteria is "would most peiple consider this acceptable character art."

Does it have huge fucking titties? Wearing no clothes? A huge dick bulge? Revealing underwear?

I don't understand how you guys inherently understand what does and does not go into a "lewd character art thread" and then act like you don't already know. That's some spicy doublethink going on there.

Go forth and write it.

Never anything else.

No, Character Art threads fall under Paper Games for the purpose of all RPGs where you make characters.

>Your objective criteria is "would most peiple consider this acceptable character art."

So most people is the criteria of objectivity now? Most people thought smoking wasn't bad for you at one point. Was smoking not bad for them then?

>I don't understand how you guys inherently understand what does and does not go into a "lewd character art thread" and then act like you don't already know. That's some spicy doublethink going on there.

Oh I really don't give a shit about that. This is a privately owned board, and the mods are the power here. I just don't like you, your opinions, or the fact you haven't actually thought through your position. Yours is the same kind of mindset that creates fedoras feeling enlightened by their own intelligence without actually examining their position.

>complains about the thread breaking the rules
>proceeds to unironically participate in the thread

>anime character that looks like actual asian
kill it with fire
also, pretty sure index is british

No one was buying that yesterday and no one is buying it now. Seriously, what are the odds of multiple autistic conspiracy theorists converging on a single thread to argue with the same people in exactly the same way in perfect concert?

Well if you're going into a discussion with the intent of not changing your opinion, that's not really my problem is it? I've thought about my position plenty, and philosophical definitions are pointless. The only definitions that matter are practical ones, and yes, most people is the criteria of objectivity.

>if you sperg hard enough you will get your way
The existence of /qst/ would suggest this theory is correct.

Well I'm of the opinion that ERP belongs in Veeky Forums so yeah most people would consider it acceptable character art.

I'm not purely populist. especially when it comes to rules.

Tho if you are the shitposter who wants to shitpost until you get your way then I guess that isn't populism either now is it?

>Seriously, what are the odds of multiple autistic conspiracy theorists converging on a single thread to argue with the same people in exactly the same way in perfect concert

Good odds if it's one guy going MAXIMUM SPERG

Guys, guys. Character art. At least post something when you discuss meta.

> most people is the criteria of objectivity.

No, no it's not.

1 + 1 = 2

The issue is that it's ultimately a very questionable thing.

Veeky Forums is a blue board, ergo sfw. A lewd character art thread, despite falling under the banner of ERP and thus the banner of what Veeky Forums covers, is not safe for work.

And then this argument dredges up the argument about how "You're not supposed to be on Veeky Forums at work anyway!" or "You have to be 18 to post on Veeky Forums anyway!" which is often just a poor justification for breaking rules, but again in this case makes things a bit of a grey area overall.

Veeky Forums is a blue board.
Blue boards shouldn't contain nsfw content.
Veeky Forums is a traditional gaming board.
Traditional gaming includes ERP like it or not.

So what do we do? Do we make Veeky Forums a pink board and deal with the consequences of effectively branding it as /d/-lite? Do we say no discussion or ERP or lewdness in tabletop because it's a blue board, pissing off the other 50% of the autists who are taking 0s and 1s arranged to look like tits way too fucking seriously?

In my opinion, everybody's a wrong whiny faggot and blowing something that should be minor out of proportion. If a thread is labeled lewd character art, and it doesn't open with nudity right off the bat, the person who gets in trouble for looking at it past that is responsible for their own fuck up.

Are you seriously equating mathematics, a wholly constructed system, to evaluating whether or not something is smut?

Same with the smoking, are you really that far gone that "is this healthy" and "is this mathematically accurate" hold the same gravitas as "is this smut?"

Also, I feel it necessary to point out that mathematics only works as long as we (or "most people") can agree on common axioms. The meaning of the symbols 1 and 2 and the concept of addition and equivalence hold no inherent meaning unless defined. For someone who's followed along on the side of the conversation where it was claimed that
>Objectivity is fundamentally impossible due to the fact everything is reflected through the lens of human perception
you're awfully quick to point out that math is objective.

>Veeky Forums is a traditional gaming board.
>Traditional gaming includes ERP like it or not.
This is not so simple. Veeky Forums is about discussing traditional games, not playing them. ERPing here doesn't fall under Veeky Forums.

>Traditional gaming includes ERP like it or not.
No it doesn't.

Your opinion and my opinion do not matter.

It is not a permissible topic for discussion on this board.

>Veeky Forums is a blue board.
>Blue boards shouldn't contain nsfw content.
>Veeky Forums is a traditional gaming board.
>Traditional gaming includes ERP like it or not.
oh the conundrum!

here
i mostly lurk Veeky Forums because i can't play games, but on art threads i can dump some

Read an argument before you start ranting.

Also

>implying I'm the same person

What did he use it for?

I explicitly did not assume you were the same person, but 1+1=2 only because of majority consensus, so I don't really see how you made a convincing argument against majority consensus.

...

Sperglord autists will keep sperging, and everyone else is compelled to feed 'em. Have a wholesome paladin

Yes it does.

Just because the mod occasionally lays down the THREAD CLOSED hammer and one guy goes maximum sperg doesn't mean that ERP doesn't fall under the net of roleplaying games.
