I've noticed for a while that when artists do nude character commissions, I get a little bored. Though not always the case, the piece depicts the character as expected, nude and in the mood. Problem is, there's not much left to the imagination when said-character is just standing there with discharged penii (penises?) or a clit wet with excitement. Sometimes it's good to have a bit of obstruction, even if just a silken veil, since you take a longer moment to undress the figure with your mind's eye, appreciating the artist's work all the while longer than you would have otherwise.

It's a trade-off, I guess. Instant gratification vs. blueballed frustration, but perhaps the best of both worlds would be in having a background setting where the character is indeed nude, but s/he's using the props on hand to "suggest" rather than immediately "do". Being the fine connoisseur that I am (stop laughing >:3 ) I feel suggestion is better than immediacy, as it allows for a story to be hinted at rather than be given at face value. The art piece lasts longer for it too, since people can look it over and come up with creative scenarios in their heads that they can run away with beyond just seeing a naked 'sona doing what all the others are doing.

Know what I mean?
