Very good looking pixel art! The standard art for it is also very pleasing to look at.

Here’s Asuka, the adorable cutie from my avatar picture. While in her source material, she isn’t written all that great, I find her very, very cute either way. I would post the source of my avatar, but I think it falls under NSFW around these parts, so let’s not do that.

There’s a Japanese tattoo artist named Horimitsu who is working on a project called ‘1000 Tigers’ - his aim is to tattoo 1000 different tigers. My next tattoo trip this year is already booked to head to Tokyo and join what he calls the ‘Horimitsu 1000 Tigers Club’ 
, and here are some of my favourites that he’s done over the last few years:
They range from traditional -
To conceptual -
To interpretive -
And to referential -
He does the linework with a normal tattoo machine and the colour/shading in the tratitional tebori/hand poked style, which is something I’ve had done before by other artists in Japan and generally feels a lot less intense than regular tattooing so I’m very much in favour of it

I actually wanted to test the waters but I guess you did it for me. 
If this keeps being here by tomorrow, I will probably post more NSFW stuff too. I have plenty of that.

Not sure what YOU qualify by NSFW.
Amedeo Modigliani’ Nu Couché is by all account one of the finest examples of modern painting.
I would not regard it as NSFW which may be extended to hardcore pornography.
If my post is not here by tomorrow, then the whole state of the affair is to be deplored when Fine Art is being “censored”.
If you want to post your NSFWs, please create another thread. I don’t want this thread to come to an early closure.

If you choose to stay with your impressions of the surface of things and won’t bother to scratch the surface to see deeper and realize the importance and impact of Modigliani’s “buck naked” paintings serie and the rest of his work for the art of painting in the 20th century, then that’s on you.
Would you have thought the same if I had posted a picture of the sculptor of a “buck naked” gentleman?

Here’s the thing, right: you post actual art, I post anime pictures. Is it on the same level artistically? I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t think an anime girl in lingerie and with her breasts out is on the same level of artistic merit as Nu Couché. I’m not discrediting anything here, rather, I’m just pointing out that I wanted to post some more explicit works to see if it okay to do that here and I felt like you did it first by posting the art piece you posted. That’s it. if anything, I feel like I’m discrediting the picture I have posted more than pieces you’ve posted.
Right. Let’s be honest here. I am not interested at all specifically in"anime girls in lingerie and with her breasts out" or perhaps Anime Art in general to be bothered about what you or anybody post as examples of that art form. That is not the question.
What bothers me is that you seem to have taken me posting a nude by Modigliani as a sort of “pretext” to post stuff that you yourself qualify as NSFW and not me. You expressed your wish explicitly yourself a couple of days ago:
So it seems that you waited for the opportunity that someone else paves the way for you:
That is what bothers me. My intention was not to post an “NSFW” to “test the waters” here. I posted what I consider is a beautiful painting, and an important work of art with an impact on the the history of painting and Art in general.
I think you shouldn’t be doing it. Why discredit what you consider to be a work of Art regardless what anyone else thinks of it. This thread is about “your favorite art”. If that is yours, state your case and stand your ground.
I don’t give a nickel about what anyone else thinks of what I post here. I post what is of interest to me, has had an impact on me and had engaged me, both aesthetically, artistically and intellectually. That’s all there is to it.

I think the key difference is nu couche is not a painting made with the sole intent of titillation (although I am sure some people somewhere at some points in history have derived this from it, as there is no accounting for taste ), whereas the anime girl with her boobs out serves no purpose except titillation.
At least, as I perceive it.

Here is a bit of context about Modigliani’s nude serie, the public reaction and some anecdote.
Modigliani’s series of nudes caused a major scandal when they were first exhibited in Paris in 1917. The nudes were included in his only solo exhibition, held at Galerie Berthe Weill.
It has been recounted that the nudes drew such a large crowd around the gallery that a police officer was called to the place. The officer was offended, not so much by their nudity as by the fact they displayed pubic hair, and promptly ordered them to be taken down.Whether this specific incident actually occurred or not, the exhibition certainly caught the imagination of the public and contributed to Modigliani’s reputation as a scandalous artist.
The exhibition, known as “le scandale”, had to be shut down when the police insisted the nudes be removed. Modigliani only sold one drawing from the show, but the incident achieved considerable notoriety.

Does this count as art too?
Italian artist Amedeo Capelli from Stoccafisso Design creates wonderfully whimsical mechanical automaton toys from wood, which he carves by hand. Each kinetic sculpture features wooden gears, cams and handles that create the intended movement of each figure. Wonderful attention to detail. Not only children are guaranteed to love it.

If you find this nude sexually arousing, you probably need to go see a doctor
