Speaking of which, why don't Gel use a tag like "non-asian art" or "non-asian artist" to indicate non-asianness for those purists? (I'm not a purist per se, although I do find that the quality of non-east asian animu art in general tends to be lower than east asian animu art in general. Only rarely I find western animu art as appealing as works from the likes of Tony Taka, Sayori, Kantoku or Tinkle. Imho russian folks are pretty good at drawing in this style, which Gel already proves.)

There isn't really a need to do such a thing. If people don't want to find art by these artists, they can add them to their blacklist individually. From what I remember, the maximum blacklist length is somewhere around 3 kilobytes. Likewise, if they do want to find art by a western artist, they can search for them individually.

Most importantly, doing something like that would make it be once again about where the artist is from rather than what they draw. It took quite a bit of fighting to get the rules changed so that artwork by non-Japanese artists is allowed if high-quality and on-topic. This created a paradigm shift; now the question isn't "where did this artist come from", it's "what are they drawing, and in what style/quality?" This is a pretty important difference, since the point of the artist rule was simply to cut out artwork that isn't related to Japan at all in the form of non-Japanese artists drawing fanart of non-Japanese series.

Most of the people who enjoy artwork by western artists don't enjoy them because they are western artists, but rather because they are good, so I don't see anything negative about letting them find and choose on their own rather than giving them the ability to screw themselves out of quite a bit of incredible artwork by the western artists that are actually good.

post #1874294. not-japanese? looks like it to me honestly, but maybe you are all better judges of this?

She doesn't look Japanese to me.

Eudetenis is a non-Japanese artist. Eudetenis is the joint-name used for Brazilian artist Giovana Leandro and her husband, Paulo. I commission Gigi regularly and am in regular communication with her. None of the pictures posted on this site under the tag "eudetenis" are Japanese, and should be excluded from further posting.

Those images are Japanese-themed or Japanese styled and of rather good quality. I can see most of those posts getting an exception from the moderation team.

Edit: I've deleted the wiki. Please do not ask users to exclude posts from non-Japanese artist. Exceptions and exclusions are made on a case-by-case bases by the moderation team.

Keep in mind that the moderation team can give exception on a case by case basis whether or not to delete art by a non-Japanese artist.

From looking at the art, in my opinion, the style does not seem too Western and the quality is good. The other mods would of course have to have a say in this.

Edit: Good timing jedi. So far, that is two mods in favor of keeping most if not all work by this artist team.

There's a reason this thread has been unpinned and hasn't been posted in for two years. To quote our current Terms of Service:



Eudetenis' works are of significantly high quality, and as such have received an exception to the artist rule for that quality.

If they would like their artwork removed from the site, we are willing to do so if, they, the original artists, contact us and can verify their identity. Unfortunately we will not act on third-party requests for image removal; only the artist themself can submit a request. They can submit a request to this email address: support@gelbooru.com

The exclusion was for "these images being included on the site" not for "allowing them to remain". But okay.

Only the site owner has the authority to ban an artist's works from being uploaded to the site.
