I received a note from DA a few minutes ago telling me that they Deleted my Ariel: Bearer of the Trident [link] was in violation of their underage policy with the following note:


"The character depicted in this deviation is an established underage character (16). Underage characters cannot be displayed in a nude and/or erotic fashion as per our policies. If you have any questions please contact the helpdesk."

Now I'm pretty sure of a few things. 1.  It wasn't pornography, 2. That in the very detailed description I wrote I specifically wrote that the piece was depicting her at time in the future of where her official story took place, where she was suppose to be an adult.  I may not have said 18 specifically, but I thought it was pretty clear.  3. It was the only piece that I put the mature filter onto, would it have been fine without it?

I've put a disclaimer on the remainder of the pieces, I hope that will suffice, and keep others from being pulled.

With that being said, Ariel is now... gone. Tragically. I will put it back up with a disclaimer also later, but I'm hoping the help desk writes me back first.... otherwise well.. otherwise that sucks.

For those of you that saw it, have any of you ever felt that I was depicting underage nudity?

::UPDATE::
I've since heard back from the help desk, and I really believe that it's out of their hands.  Regardless of intent, and regardless of my portrayal, I put that Mature label on it (just to be safe) and I think it was then flagged.  There is unfortunately nothing that can be done.  With that said, it's ok, life goes on, this journal will stay up and no matter what happens I'll always provide a link to it somewhere.  Thank you all for the support, it really means a lot.  And if you haven't make sure you check out my Ariel replacement in the series.


EDIT****
Here's the piece for the fun of it.

I like both of them, but I think Siren of the Deep fits better with the rest of the superhero princesses. Bearer of the Trident is certainly very pretty, though. I especially like her hair and the vibrant colors.

Both are amazing, but the first has something that makes it more fitting. Oh well

I just jumped on your work. I love both versions. Shame the first one was removed. Do you propable have it somewhere in bigger resolution? I was thinking of puting it on my wallpaper. Will have to change it to 16:9 thou... Still, don't let your tallent go to waste and upload such drawings as you like. It's what art is actually :)

Sorry for the long reply but I was away from Deviantart for some time. Got other buisnes that cought my attention. The resolution is 1366x768. I really love the first work, the way she looks back at the watcher. Hope you won't be discouraged by the admins. Draw how you feel right, because it's what makes art beautifull. I try some scheching myself now, but still nothing good enought to post here.

Wait - there are a ton of "sexy Disney" characters out there, including Ariel. That's silly.

wow that's Dumb...I think alot of ppl forgot that there's a SECOND Little Mermaid movie where she gets Married and has a Kid,I'm assuming She is older then unless Eric likes Underage Teens.

I found the Ariel one the least erotic of the series, but the most clever and entertaining. I got the impression you put a lot of work into it, I'm sorry it was taken down.
