(crossposting over here from my fe tumblr because it's interesting to consider.) 

> for someone who has historically had zero problem drawing pretty hardcore dead dove (incest, rape, kinks like watersports, etc), nudity plus emotional eros is something i'm kinda chickenshit at drawing....

i think i'm known as somebody who draws erotic clothed sex/intimacy well (it's been said before) so it's not exactly a puritanical thing, (i think?), and it's not strictly the intimacy side that i'm gun-shy at....

when i think about it, a simple nude body is also Fine. but it's full frontal nude (specifically aroused genitalia) plus personal emotional eros/attraction that .... the idea of it feels nice to draw, but it's way way too painfully vulnerable to show, haha.

#even my gunter/corrin hentai i shied around it more often than i'd like (by far the hardest panels to draw were the full body + bits)  #where you couldn't just abstract a wholeass panel as uh. Biggus Dick.  #funnily enough gunter is like the ONE character that breaks this rule consistently. freak ass dude (lovingly).  #i have a theory it's because i associate gunter with the ship more (gunter/corrin) versus audience-and-character.  #it's such a weird specific black hole of a mental roadblock when i'm Fine with everything *around it*  #and other artists seemingly don't have said mental roadblock. belatedly realizing i use kink as a way to cheat around this too.  #idk! thinking about this as i attempt a thing. hold my beer.
