I think there is a valid place on this forum for fandom/discussion/sharing of promo samples of 3D digitally rendered porn/erotic art (Daz/Poser/similar software) and 2D porn/erotic art (be it Western or Asian in style/origin, eg Fansadox or Manga).
Unfortunately it seems the recent thread someone started got derailed into a shock-for-shock's sake gorefest, and potential goodwill from forum members with an interest in the subject evaporated correspondingly. Which is a shame.
So... By way of drawing a line under that false start and rebooting the entire subject, I thought starting a new thread would be worth a try. See how it goes.
Maybe it will fall flat, maybe it will take off. But a fresh space to engage seems the place to start.
I've already posted work from three current 3D artists over at Slushe com I'm a fan of in this thread ('Future of Porn') with some grandiose speculation.

As for why 3D/2D porn art has a valid place alongside conventional photo/film porn), in the case of 3D I think what I like is the combination of hyper-reality in 3D art (super-detailed, super-glossy, colours and textures really saturated and intense), the huge amount of control to conceptualize/populate/furnish/light environments 3D rendered art offers (without access to Hollywood level budgets these could never be attempted in real life porn shoots), and the way some artists manage to create an entire dramatic and open-ended narrative into a single graphic image.
A couple of examples.
This could be a Giorgio Wondertoys promo. All my points above apply re saturated colours, textures, lighting and imagined spaces.
(Artist is Blake Stronge at Slushe/Renderotica).
Another by artist Sostene (also at Slushe/Renderotica).
This could almost be Florane and her team directing a Zee Twins shoot. So much intenstity and drama and potential for different storylines in a single image.
As for 2D artwork, there fluid lines (brushstrokes, washes), impressionistic atmospheres, and spontenteity of mood seem to work well.
By way of samples.
This by LeraPi (on Patreon).
A really sensuous atmosphere, lush warm skin tones, hushed lighting.
And this by S.M.O.K.E (who I know nothing of other than the name, unfortunately).
It's super cheeky and playful, a charged and spontaneous fetishy snapshot, for which you can imagine your own prelude and follow-on continuation.
I've been careful to include names and sites so you can follow up on any artists making work that appeals to you. They generally produce images, series, and can even be commissioned.
I am proposing that as a basic principle if you are adding to this thread. Credit the artists as a courtesy and also so those who like the work can follow and support them.
Another rule should be to only post a couple of samples from your favourite artists (not whole sets). These artists often try to sustain themselves through selling their work. Don't rip them off.
Maybe this new revised 'restart' 3D/2D art thread will fly or crash. But it is now a thing. Over to you.
