Well, saw the pic, there is shock value in it, that's for sure. I'm assuming that this pic doesn't violate any rules upon DA so you shouldn't get in trouble with them about it. Still...something tells me that certainly you will recieve attention when it comes to this pic but that is the point of any shock value pic.
Sorry, that's all I got, I really don't have much to say on this matter.

I admit that this is the first time I've delved into mature art. Still, dA DOES have labels for mature art, among which violence. Hopefully this could pass, especially given that: a) there IS porn on dA, and b) it's basically satire so as to raise a point. Besides, at least a grinning Mike isn't holding his head, like in my first draft. EDIT: I deleted it anyway, keeping in mind your implications about the press.

Besides, at least a grinning Mike isn't holding his head, like in my first draft. EDIT: I deleted it anyway, keeping in mind your implications about the press. I was only saying, that's all. It wasn't like you had to delete the pic, my concern was IF it broke any of DA's rules because according to them, you break a rule and if they find out, it's either temporary suspension or permanent banning from their site. Since they are so strict, that's why certain pics I have done can NEVER be put upon my DA page but only stay upon my main website. Trust me, the last thing I want to do is get banned from DA because of a stupid choice that I chose to make. I understand that censorship is there for a reason but some of their rules really take it too far, in my opinion. That was my main concern about your pic, after all, that's what that little "Report Deviation" icon is for. This icon is on every piece of art submitted by all users upon DA although I don't think most people even use it but probably resort to contacting DA staff directly. I didn't mean to make you feel so worried in where you felt that you had to remove the piece entirely, sorry if that's how I came across.

No, no, you're probably right. dA is probably not the best place to show such art, as you yourself seem to know.

Yes, it's gruesome, but I guess it has to be to get the point across about how Randall is being abused by the people who own him, literally.

I agree with Pittbulllady. I don't have a problem with gore at all in pictures, but yes, blood is a strong, uh, symbol? Very motivational piece, and I like it in that way. Of course by choice, I would never choose to see Randall's head impaled by anything, but referring back again, it get's it's point across indeed in a very strong way! I can just imagine people viewing it as a slap across the face, in the 'Get A Grip Of The Truth' way.

Well, I guess you're doing what has to be done. *long depressing sigh* At least your art of this rating doesn't impend on their rules, can't say the same for all of mine though.
