This was a self portrait.
Home'Body
My tidy little fuselage,
in which I've journeyed for years.
Miles and weather,
mere existence and beers.
Holding for the most part,
in the ways that it should.
Occasionally it breaks down,
but it usually runs good.
My shallow shell, my costume,
While days fold and unroll.
My first impression, the place I peep,
through a couple good sized holes.
Tattooed by incidences,
scared by ink and imagination.
My favorite place to hideout,
And perform impersonations.

i would really want to know why @dantheman downvoted this article - i don't get it and a explanation if u downvote - would be really nice! Thanks in advance for your feedback on this... (i don't get it sry)

Unless he felt the picture was in some way inappropriate (I don't think it is at all and would be acceptable on IG if she wanted to post it). Maybe he mistakenly clicked a downvote or felt the rewards were too great.
I also do not understand the reason for the flag and feel the flagging system should at least require you to pick a reason why you flagged content, because if @dantheman does not leave a reason for his flag, @katecloud has no beneficial feedback as to why she was flagged in the first place.
To me the flag should be used to help change something you feel is spam or mislabeled or hateful, but some use it to give users less rewards, which is their choice, but to me not the best use of a flag/downvote.

You are so talented @katecloud I keep hoping a win an inspire me contest, but will gladly buy some of your work down the road when finances permit. If you haven't already, I think allowing people to buy limited edition prints or autographed on demand prints for sbd plus shipping would give you a nice revenue stream :) Keep up the kick-ass work!

Have you tried painting subjects with tattoos? I am curious whether you find it harder than shading skin?

I have...and no I wouldn't say harder, just different. I feel like the shading of the skin still has to happen tattoos or not. I'll post one soon since you brought this up! ;)

If you're wondering why the tattoos are so wonky, it's because they were made that way. The coloring wasn't much harder than any other color.

I can't comprehend a flag based upon your reasoning above. You've always held that steemit was a place where people can post their uncensored legitimate material. Flagging this defeats your mission statement in the same way that Google self censoring content for China did. I've always supported your decisions @dantheman but I can't subscribe to this one.

@dantheman This is a major issue with steemit currently... Any "whale" who simply thinks that a post shouldn't earn as much as it has can squash it without even thinking of the repercussions. This makes people who are new or aren't as vested feel scared to post because if they make too much money (based on the opinion of someone who has a lot of money) then they can lose it all with one click.
This is suppose to be decentralized, and moderated by the community. You can't play God just because you don't value a post as much as MANY others do. That is just simply your OPINION. @katecloud has done nothing to deserve a down vote from you.
Also, This shows no more "nudity" than what you see on TV or Ads, so why should there be a NSFW tag on something that I can see walking down the street?

correct. I would like to see how much this post could make without the first photo in which she shows 90% of her boobs.

So by this logic of you posted a painting of a semi-nude woman you should make thousands...right? Why don't you try this and see how well this works for you.
Kate has gained a following because she is talented. Don't be butt-hurt because she is making money and on a social network that is DESIGNED to make money.

I am not butt-hurt. I got more followers than you because I am not here to make MONEY only. I didn't say Kate is not talented. She is.
Not only she is talented, she is also smart. Men see a woman showing some skin and they upvote. Easy peasy.

If you weren't here to make money you would be on reddit. I didn't think this was a popularity contest either I was just stating that boobs don't just make you money, and since you thought it was so easy then you should try it and see how well it works for you.

Thats was wonderful. So correct, only once and a while, whatever you are.. can even impress yourself, or you do something by accident, something totally unforseen, and not only you but other people see what you've done and add it to their book of tricks. Amazing work, just a simple observation. :)
