#3Aaron Diaz is amazing. The time travel/transhumanism comic Hob is greatly recommended ( http://dresdencodak.com/2007/02/08/pom/ ).

Eh. You are probably correct, but were it "high" art (say.. "David"), not some sketches on tumblr, it would certainly be mild. Sussing out what is potentially offensive and how much so can be difficult.

#5Strange, I've never heard the term "figure drawing" used in the context of comics or animation. Maybe it's common within the field, but the artists I know generally associate it with drawing human models. Wikipedia doesn't mention it either.

Interesting post though. I liked seeing the Cowboy Bebop characters again, and the point about the need for the body to be identifiable without clothes makes a lot of sense.

I like to over-analyze too.

depends on the context and the standards.
The nakedness in question here is not intended to titillate, but to illustrate (ha) a point. To anyone who's ever taken a drawing class w/ a nude model, this is scandalous in the least.
If you're presenting to your board of directors, it might be (presuming that character design is not pertinent to your endeavor).

Dude, I work at a fairly liberal software company in SoCal, and if I scrolled down to the bottom-most picture with the hand-drawn fully-naked chick and someone happened to glance at my screen, I would most likely be fired.
As a rule of thumb, suggestive/sexy clothing is "mildly NSFW." Full nudity, regardless of context, is "very NSFW."
(It may be different in Europe.)

Heck, the author of TFA has it tagged as nsfw himself!
I disagree that the drawings were not meant to titillate. The, ahem, anatomic detail they go into was unnecessary to prove his point.

Absolutely fantastic stuff. The Kurzweil and FM-2030 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM-2030) nod in the third strip (http://dresdencodak.com/2007/04/07/rule-110/) is hardly subtle, but amusing.
