All our IZ covers are 'paintings' as opposed to photographs. Does that make any difference? Manga covers and interiors can be pretty 'graphic' so I expect not but what do you think?
I do think that renaissance artists were aware that naked flesh was going to gain attention for a work. |
I don't think it matters if it is painting or photograph, personally. I have vogue magazine, which always has a near naked woman on the cover, but it is done not as a selling sex point, but as a selling beauty point. If that makes sense? If you look at a lot of commercials, they are geared towards selling sex---Axe and Tag commercials, for example, sell sex and not beauty.
I don't think there is anything wrong with selling beauty, but I will say that I absolutely hate it when people draw a woman with double d breasts, a 10 inch waist, and a badonkadonk butt wearing a halter top and leather pants that are wholly inpractical for a warrior.
