well, I was in a really good mood, I'm going to a baseball game tonight, which I love to do. then I opened deviant art and found 3 very offensive and rude comments on one of my deviations [link]
first one, and the most rude, by ~lolwut696
"Nice tits whore. lol."

these are not as rude, but still reported as spam:

"If it wasn't to show you off nude, why didn't you use a mannequin or wear undies?"

and by: ~ProfessorMarkus
"I don't understand why you modeled nude, then got angry when people noticed it.
Underwear and a bra would've solved that, as tits are distracting people from your work."

I don't want to have to explain myself, but I will. I modeled them nude because wearing something underneath would be distracting. only insensitive assholes get distracted by the "tits" and don't notice the subject of the picture. also, wearing something underneath wold have changed the way they fit. if you notice, on the other picture, there is an amazing comment that I love, given by a fellow mailler ~Gilleban


":This is, hands down, an amazing outfit. So few maillers out there are really trying to make unique, interesting exotic outfits. While the weave itself is very simple...just euro 4-1?...you've made the top drape in such a way that looks more visually interesting than "the most basic of all maille weaves." I also have to applaud how everything manages to hit just the right places...the bands frame your breasts perfectly (in an artistic sense as well as "visually erotic") and form the X at just the right place between your bust and throat. The collar the bands form is even just right...low enough that I imagine it's fairly comfortable to wear but still draws the viewer's eye downwards (as is the general "plan" with outfits such as this). Truly a piece that holds a viewer's attention in its own right as well as enhancing the appearance of the wearer.

What I find most interesting here is that this outfit is not only modeled by (and might I say, in a sense of friendly but harmless flirtation, admirably so) but DESIGNED and MADE by the woman wearing it...a quick float around the 'Net will show that the vast majority of such pieces are generally (but not always) the creations of male artisans...even when I'm accepting commissions from women for outfits of their own they generally leave the design easthetics up to me ("You're the artist...you know what looks good."). While not inherently a bad thing, most of the time it's because either we guys are thinking of costumes to help women feel beautiful and powerful (I wish they knew they already ARE), or we're being commissioned by some dude who wants something "sexay" for his girlfriend, which is why so many outfits look like the usual "warrior princess" or "slave girl" costumes, if they aren't simply the ubiquitous "chainmail bikini" (which, if you check out websites, so many look exactly alike). I'd love to hear Muirgheal's story behind it, but this outfit, at least to me, appears to represent a woman's own efforts to create something she herself would feel beautiful and powerful wearing.

The really impressive part is that Muirgheal's costume is so expertly designed...again so many are built to reflect male fantasies and notions of beauty where in this case she's found the perfect balance of hand-crafted metal and her own natural appeal; while covering very little (even the skirt is sheer enough to be seen through) the costume doesn't seem to advertise her nudity as much as "enhance" the appearance of her body...yes, the costume itself draws the eyes to and perfectly frames her bare breasts, and the skirt is short enough to emphasize her buttocks and barely conceal anything in front, but there's nothing "slutty" about this work of art...more of a sense of awe than cheap thrills.

While many of my words so far will no doubt flatter Miss Muirgheal, my comments aren't just to praise her for her talent and hard work but to admit that the bar has been raised for exotic outfits...male jewelers and maillers should look on this piece as a shining (in this case literally )example of what women are looking for in this type of costume...they want to feel beautiful and powerful, and she's not only hit the nail on the head but right between the eyes...

Guys, we have a challenge ahead of us

I notice also it's just that one view that is getting the comments. not the other one, that has the good insightful comments on it.


I am not taking these down, I am proud of them. though I will mark as spam anyone who feels they need to keep making those comments.

stupid thing, I can't change the mood. definetly not "joyful" right now.
