Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovely comment!
Yeah, freckles are adorable, and this drawing removes the problem of those pesky clothes getting in the way of some of them. XD
I'm really glad for the site's attitude towards nudity as well. Not that there's anything wrong with sexual or erotic art for those who like that sort of thing, but I'm of the firm belief that there is *nothing* inherently sexual about a body that happens to not be clothed, and allowing non-sexual nudes to be posted without a maturity filter doesn't make it seem like the humanoid body is something to be ashamed of or hidden.
I'm glad that my art can be helpful to you in any way RE: overcoming body-shaming ideas and stuff. It was a very freeing and helpful experience for my friend, too, who actually chose to pose nude for me while I drew the piece, since the character is based on her. She was really nervous about having this image on the internet, but it was at her request that I put it here, since she wanted to do it to build confidence.

I can relate, whenever one of my dragon kids have attire covering marks of theirs I like it kills me a little inside XD
I hadn't realized PD's stance on non-sexual nudity before you put this up, though now that I do it's making me want to draw some fawns. In my headworld, their society doesn't think anything of women dressing the same as men, including being topless, but I didn't want to post art of them where I'd have to put a filter on it (since it isn't erotic or anything, like what you said) or have immature people on sites like DA post degrading comments, but I think I'd be comfortable putting them up here. It makes me happy when people do things to chip away at the idea that nudity, especially among women, is sexual, since that belief creates a dangerous culture for literally half the population, and since (as an asexual) I don't see anything like that in normal nudity. I'll be sure to post what I make here
I'm glad my comment made you a little happier, I enjoy this piece a lot And that is courageous of your friend, I'm too self conscious to even consider that, so she took a big step! She sounds like a cool person, confronting her own nervousness like that. I hope to face my own doubts too, though I think I'll be taking baby steps in my own path.

Oooh I'd love to see your fawns sometime. They sound neat.
And I agree; I totally think at the very least, public decency laws need to be changed already to allow people with breasts (women, pre-op/non-op trans men, nonbinary people with breasts, etc, etc) to be topless in public. Ideally modesty laws shoudln't exist at all, IMO.
She is really fantastic. And everyone's comfort levels and stressors and stuff are different, so you do your own thing at your own pace. ^^
Making it so being topless is legal for everyone would be very beneficial, especially for moms feeding their kids in public, though that is legal and people still have issues with it.
