now you know where you want to go you'll need to develop a strategy to make yourself confident in drawing sensual and erotic art - You've already started with getting people to pose for you, but on the more sensitive poses you may need to search for the right references - there can be no denying that most of the artists that fall in your genre probably use pictures of bondage and other pornography to help with referencing their work -

on the ethical aspect of your work, there is the question of whether you paint women in a poor light? I liked it much better when you were dishing out abuse at female stereotypes

oh beleve me there is stereo type abuse to be had and a nice bit of religious intolorence to thought possibly may cut it (im not sure if the whole repent the end is nigh thing has been over done 28 days later kind of toped it) there is quite a twist to the ending. The tame start is for a false sence of security it will become clear with the plot synopsis. Where its going the way erotica seems to work is as long as it starts off classic with sex, nudity etc. you can then drop the heavyer stuff on to the reader as even if they just continue for the next sex scene in it there still going to read it which is the whole point! Sex or violence is often the major selling point of most media e.g the film 'repo the genetic opera' was fantastic, clever and differnt but why did people go see it? to see Paris Hiltons face get ripped off . Also haveing worked selling games and dvd's for a while i can tell you most the time if there's no sex or violence it doesn't sell well at all i think the weekly groups of under 18's i used to turn away for grand theft auto prove this is not likely to change, so i've given this quite a bit of thought.
