That section sounds more harsh than it actually is. It also says that only one person in America has ever been convicted of only hentai lolicon and not real CP. But the law does raise some questions. 1) What is a minor if no age is defined? And 2) What defines serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value? One can easily argue all of an artist's work has serious artistic value and one can easily argue that a certain character is indeed not a minor even if some people think he/she may...

look like it.
But again, this is where it's written bad. The section I first discussed contradicts the section you showed me. One section includes drawings, one excludes them. They mention nothing about parodies of characters either, whether or not they count. Either way, there are people that will still continue to do it (like Palcomix) because there isn't much to fear, and there are people that will turn against it, giving in to the little fear there is.
In the end, all you need is a good lawyer and you're set. Though lawyers are obviously expensive and nobody wants to get put in that position in the first place. Anyway, enough on this subject, let's just enjoy what Ellery is working hard to give us.

In response to Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, Congress passed the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also dubbed the Amber Alert Law) and it was signed into law on April 30, 2003 by then president George W.

The answers are right here.

Read closely, especially at sections 8, 9, and 11. Section 11 specifically says that "This definition does not apply to depictions that are drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings depicting minors or adults." It only applies to someone "indistinguishable of an actual minor". And obviously, anime characters are not actual minors, they are drawings.
As far as I know, only a few people hav...

e actually been jailed for loli hentai, and it is usually due to possession or distribution of large quantities of it (usually doujins). The problem is that a majority of this country is very much against it, and most judges/juries will be happy to throw people in jail for it if it doesn't pass the Miller test. They can decide that it is "depicting actual minors" because of their ignorance.
The law was not written very well, and that is why there is so much confusion over it. Sadly, it doesn't really matter what we say because HentaiKey and many other companies have taken the safe route and decided to ban it. Can't blame them, either. Nobody wants to constantly worry whether or not the law is gonna go after them. All I ask is that the artists try and make each character as close to the original as possible, without crossing the line.

Actually I looked online and on this lawyers website he had a page where people could ask him questions relating to law and etc and he was asked many times if Shota/Lolicon were illegal (he knew what that stuff was cause he was asked a lot) and he said that even though most believe it is illegal in the US he said it wasn't.
but that was a year ago so I don't know about now. I could try searching it again

The problem is that American corporations (and the government) seem to think that 'small boobs' is more or less equivalent to 'pedophilia/child pornography', which is precisely why *every* character has been drawn with a huge bust even if they don't actually have one. It's depressing, but I'm pretty sure it's HentaiKey that is preventing Ellery from drawing loli and flat-chested characters because they're afraid of getting sued. :(
I think it's kinda silly, though, because all of Ellery's art...

are parodies of Bleach characters... so she should be able to draw things however she wishes.

Oh and next time you doing Rukia, PLEASE, but PLEASE dont make her boobs big... The reason Rukia is so loved is because she is diffrent. I hate it when ppl are making her curvey or with big boobs. she got a nice ass and more then awesome pers (and she got ichigo lol) she doesnt need boobies. she isnt flat, just small boobs. and that the way i love her.

Sure, haha.
But she isn't lumpy either. ;)
I'd definitely love to see more flatchested characters, instead of all these girls with full bosoms (even if they shouldn't have full bosoms).

The hair is about the only thing I could laud for its intricate detail and awesome vector work.
To be somewhat more specific about what I mean by "lumpy", well... don't take this the wrong way, but I think this deserves a V2.
* Her breasts look like grandma breasts. Her left breast has a strange hump on top of it, and if I'm correct in assuming that blob beneath her left breast is her right one, then I don't think anything needs to be said about it. :(
* Her left leg and hip have a bunc...

h of bizarre lumps.
* The way her ass leads into her waist is really anatomically incorrect. Her ass is also saggy.
* The way her neck is drawn makes her look like a hunchback.
I could keep going, but you get the point.
It's important that I am *not* hating on Ellery, in any way. I love her art and I just really believe that she should take all the time she needs before releasing it.
Thanks for your hard work, Ellery. :D

Ellery, I'm getting the impression that you rushed on this one.
Riruka isn't curvy in this picture, she's... lumpy. It's really unattractive. Her butt plug also looks like it's just floating in mid air, not hanging out of her ass.
I realize that you're trying to get more pictures out on a daily basis, which is something I definitely appreciate - but please don't rush your art. I'd rather see a few *amazing* images then a lot of hastily drawn pieces.
So please just slow down and take you...
