I don't think that was the case here. None of the sexy-bits were exposed, and no sexual act was taking place. Half the time the women were just in lingerie, or were topless...and the poses weren't crazy, either.
I mean, call it porn if you want, but personally it seemed way too low-key to be porn.
In general, "erotica" refers to portrayals of sexually arousing material that hold or aspire to artistic or historical merit, whereas "pornography" often connotes the prurient depiction of sexual acts, with little or no artistic value. The line between "erotica" and the term "pornography" (which is frequently considered a pejorative) is often highly subjective. In practice, pornography can be defined merely as erotica that is perceived as "obscene". The definition of what one considers obscene can differ among persons, cultures and eras.

Yeah, it is subjective I guess. I just think suggestive pose + near or true nude = porn. Not that I think porn is bad at all.
I hope I'm not surprising anyone when I say women come in all shapes and sizes. While those I wouldn't call typical run of the mill breasts, I can say I've seen and drawn models with similar breast shaping.
You have to be careful of the porn (erotic photography... that sounds like porn with no money shot) you reference. otherwise you're drawing a doctor's handy work and not a beatiful human curve. They can sag, be pointy or sometimes spread apart (usually from a lack of bra wearing).
But really all you have to do is consider the gravity when drawing open air breasts.

Sorry.. no doodle. As you were...
Well, take Domai for instance. The models there (however thin) seem pretty natural, and are always nude. They provide excellent references, I've found, and I don't consider it porn, even if they're meant to have an erotic allure to them. Anyway, the definition is clearly different for different people.
I'm also mentioning Domai here because I think it's a good site for reference, but be warned it's (obviously) totally NSFW - the reason I didn't directly link it here...but you can look it up on google if you're interested.
Crit-time:
Although the shape of aforementioned chest-pieces seems accurate, their "buoyancy" does not seem as accurate to me. Due to their size, they would probably have a little more "weight" to them, and succumb to gravity more than they're doing now. They also seem to be pointing a little *too* far apart.
[edit] actually, it looks like the one closest to us is sagging, and the other is floating, which is probably one of the main reasons they just look off.
Buhhh. WIP doodle thing I'll probably lose interest in and never finish. There's a veritable assload that should be fixed, but I suppose that's why it's only a doodle.
Gahd that's huge. Sorry.

I don't think you're happy enough! That's right! I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now, boys and girls, let's try it again!
I'd love to read Starman. Too bad the third trade is out of print. This is a gift for someone!

Moss: That Link is pretty awesome. You should do a full-body one.
Agoodz: I'd suggest using a more opaque brush for outlines if you're going to use them. A nice solid black would look better than the inconsistent gray you're using.
Alyce: Where's your lightsource? Pick a direction and don't be afraid of making your shadows very large and bold. You're kind of just shading the edges of the figure, and it looks kind of weak. Be forceful! The purple is a nice choice for the shirt shadow, though!
Natri: Kind of gives of a B.C. vibe. It's still really cool in its simplicity. You should totally ink it up or do a set.
Lewis: My advice would be to slow down a little bit and take more time drawing each object or shape. Your overall image will thank you for the extra care you take with the details. I'm not saying it can't still be messy, but more precise messiness is the key to making messy look "right".
Jessicones: The hair and beads have a really great eye-catching contrast. I think messing with the skin tones a bit to emulate the contrast in those areas would really make the whole thing pop.
Man, Jack Knight is the best. ^^^^^^ Very very awesome picture. Strangly art deco like the comic.
Ahahaha, right messiness. Yeah, I suppose so. I draw really really quickly and I could probably be much better if I just slowed down a bit.
I'm digging the doodles here folks! Allways fun to see what kind of funky stuff other people come up with. I especially like Jessicones wierd head.
I'm just gonna dump some shit here today:
15 minutes:
max 5 minutes per image (a bit more for the one with the windows)
These are parts of some storyboards I had to do for class (game design). It's for a game based on the movie Titanic. I used the DVD as reference obviously, and made some stuff up (like the octopuss boss :shock: )

Impressive. Really cool hatching.

The red is pretty much my definition.
moving on! Sorry about all the text, everyone.

Eh, nothing to say about this one, except Venetian Snares seriously make me want to start drawing as fast and loosely as I can. This is the result.

dere joo go.

I really like it - not too sure if the bicep shape fits the entire figure but it still rocks

Now, I haven't had much experience with coloring on photoshop, and I'm actually trying to have this not look like shit.
Check out my art! Buy some prints!

hey scos when you do those paints are you blocking in everything with black then work from soft brushes to hard brushes?
I ask because my speed paints are turning out really bad and I'm tryin' to figure out a better strategy for tackling these things.
