To get you started off 🙂 .

WAIT A MINUTE! Kim Possible's allowed??????

 

[Budweiserbob!]

yea

there's this sorta "dark" area in the rules where no one is sure if fictional characters under 18 are allowed.

I just follow the "If the child in the drawing isn't having blatent sex, then it's fine with me" rule.

or ask the MOD for their opinion, either way. 😛

Well, basically, as near as I can figure, the way it works is this: If it's from like a cartoon or something, it's allowed, as long as the act isn't blatantly or overtly sexual, so something like these pictures are alright, but not, say, pussy or derriere tickling I wouldn't think.

I think the rule is that there is no way to state the age of the character that is drawn, as the artist can just say that the picture is in the future and the character is of an allowed age.

Thats not a rule anyone has made or agreed to, thats just a cop out and lame excuse made by the artist themself and it's taken as fact when it cannot be.

The old "don't worry, I waited until she was 18" line is what has caused this confusion. Theres no way to tell at all, and the artist is inevitably forced to say something that isn't true visually and so it is questionable as content sometimes.

Which is why I continually say that if you're going to draw an underager, its best to actually put the extra effort into the picture and actually draw them LOOKING as old as you say they are (age progression). That way its not a lame excuse or cop out to save your skin or remove any guilt or whatever.

If the artist is good enough to draw the picture in the first place, it can't be that much more difficult to age it up.

However, if the artist is intentionally drawing nubiles and underagers because thats their thing, then they're bringing this type of situation on themselves and any contempt, scrutiny, or sanctions that may come along with it. The fact they try and excuse it with a quick "she's 18 in this picture" when even he doesn't believe it or want it that way is the root of these types of disputes. It's his or her word against what we're SEEING.

Its better just to cut out the bull$hit and draw them aged up a bit. You're saving everyone an unnecessary thought or line of inquiry that way. Plus, you don't have to make paranoid excuses to avoid getting in trouble. Those only make you look guilty anyway, even if you aren't.

^^^ I'm guilty of that line myself. 😛

I think people mainly do it to stop other people from flaming them. Admittedly that sort of thing doesn't happen often on this forum with age questions (it's usually just "she looks a bit young" from someone and then the picture is removed by a mod), but it's better safe than sorry.

As for the ageing idea, it's a good idea, but often in cartoons and anime it's difficult to tell 20-somethings from 14-17 year olds. The only way around it would be to draw them in their 40s or something, and I guess that just isn't everyone's bag.

At the end of the day, I think like Vlad said, it's a combination of removing guilt and an attempt to shield yourself from flamers.

You wouldn't have to draw them in their 40s. It's entirely possible to make them young but old enough where legal age isn't even a factor or thought. I know from experience.

Its all in mixing the physical attributes of a mature person with the face of a teen or child. In this way, its possible to draw a teen who looks mature for her age, or draw an adult who looks younger for her age. Vice versa, there are ways to make it work, and it all has to do with proportions.

There are plenty of methods off the top of my head that I can think of or suggest that would solve this problem for most people. Whether or not they can draw well enough so that people get the idea is another thing though.

Even if they can't master this, the idea is to create a visual look that is obvious enough to even the casual observer that an attempt was made to make the subject mature.

If they can manage to do that at least, then theres no need for them to defend themselves as it is very unlikely anyone will say anything.

Plus, you'll have the pride of knowing you tried, rather than just give up, draw the picture any old way, and then slap the "she's 18" excuse on it.

What's interesting is that every month or so, a discussion about these rules happens. 😛

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Because every month or so someone asks for an underager or someone young enough to be mistaken. Maybe people should start asking about older characters so this never happens. 😛
