It's a hard question to define that which is pornographic and that which isn't. Where is that line?
I've asked that question a couple thousand times as I looked though the art on FA and so on. I mean... if someone gets off on seeing an image of something extremely large does that mean it's porn? If someone's turned on by something does that mean it's porn?
That's where this pic came from. Moshtier's looking towards the viewers with a question for them. I wanted it to feel like he was actually asking you, the viewer. If you feel the need to, answer below. I'm not expecting anything as this is a weird question to answer.

yes and no.
if you define porn by what people get off to, then nearly everything is porn. nowhere is it more obvious that there is always someone who 'gets their jollies' to nearly anything.
if you define porn by that which was designed to get people off, then no, in my opinion that isn't what this is about. it does however make me very jealous of your cross hatching skill XD

So, he's not enough beef cake to be porn? : D
nah, I'm just kidding. This picture was more about what constitutes to porn. I mean I know some people get their jollies from muscular beefcakes on this site so does that mean it's porn. that's sort of what I was questioning in the making of this.

Coming from my mouth, this is how I see the limit:
Think of artistic nudity. To make it artistic, the person creating this kind of art must make sure that he/she has the needed realization when the pic is too daring and when it isn't. Everything plays a role in it, not just the character in the nude. This includes factors such as perspective, pose, position, etc... even the taste.
Artistic nudity may reveal some taboo-spots in a body, but it's composed in such a manner, that it's not like watching a catalog of greatest porn actors of all kind but instead, watching a catalog of people there exists minus the clothing. After all, we all are born without clothes, right? It's not daring or trying to be daring at all, it's just trying to be artistic. Think it as watching ballé without clothes with classical music/opera playing in the background
Porn, however, is extremely daring, excessivily exposing and not afraid or ashamed of making the viewer let his or her fantasies go on a greater roll.
There is also a "sub-category" in-between these two themes. I'm not aware of it's true name, if there ever is such a name for it, but I'd call it as "erotica", which is rather daring kind of artistic nudity, something that is exposing enoughly and leaving the rest into the viewers imaginations. (Like reading a book without pictures, just text).
Overall, it's the people themselves that decides what is what. There are also those who finds artistic nudity to be "extremely amusing" and vice versa, so you never know.
As for this pic... I see it leaning more towards the artistic nudity. Though the look on his eyes....I'm not sure what to tell about them, as he looks rather annoyed/aggressive.

I was leaning towards artistic nude or something very close to it. The look in his eyes is partly my own disdain of porn and my ideas of how mosh would react to the idea of being made into porn. It's cause I've always wondered how an anthro would react to being told he's being shown in the Lewd.

hrm... I'll have to consider this the next time I'm composing another picture. It's some seriously good advice to follow when creating a new picture.
your definition of porn is also pretty sound but I wouldn't say the whole "makes the view let his or her fantasies go on a greater roll" part. I mean that can apply to lots of things which is why I'm questioning the definition of porn.

in complete honesty, if you want to have some sort of a pornographic feature, it's mostly some man's cock is erect. or looks rather erotic at times to anyone.
images of men or women nude always doesn't count as porn, only when there is some underlying sexual theme is involved. I can draw a person completely nude, facing the viewer, but that's not porn until I add a pose most would find alluring.

hm... I think I see what you're saying.
the classic venetian man isn't porn because despite the depiction of his genitals he's not displaying an alluring posture. Whereas a pic by any given porn artist would be because... well the depicted individual would be doing something that'd deemed alluring.
