You missed a good part of the debate then: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/005964.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/005973.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/006036.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/005989.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/005981.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/006022.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/006023.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/006032.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-May/006038.html Kind of proves my point ... the breasts overshadowed everything. ;) Compare this one from the same artist: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anime_Girl.svg Far less ambitious, totally within his artistic means, and a much better illustration of Manga drawing style. That's a FP in that area; the other one isn't. Andreas _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
