Kikimaru, I'd expect better from someone who has been a member of this website as long as you have. Look at all of the work from this artist you have posted. The details are offputting and it is a poorly done attempt at marrying east and west. The faces on this one in particular do not fit and look as if they were clipped from Maxim magazine and traced on to the bodies. There is plenty of bottom-of-the-barrel art on this website, and posting Spidu/Ragathol's work contributes to that.
*edit* And since when can members flag a post BEFORE the 3-day period ?_?
People will bitch and gripe about anything if it means they can have some sort of effect on a website like this.
And it's always been possible to flag images before they get approved, it's just considered very poor practice to do so, since it means a mod needs to approve or delete the picture manually instead of waiting for the three day trial period to pass and letting the picture die off on its own.
There really needs to be some kind of rule to deter pre-approved post deletion flagging.
Whilst I'm busy bitching and griping, I'll comment on Treveran's original deletion request. I can understand poorly drawn, since you gave reasoning for it, but "Western Art" sounds like the second flimsiest reason to flag something I've ever heard (flimsiest being "Just look at it.")
Yes, this is a place for japanese stuff, but I don't think that automatically gives people the right to flag things that were drawn by non-Japanese people.
Now that I've whinged myself inside-out, my comment on the picture.

While you're completely right about it being inappropriate to flag images for being drawn by a western artist, I'm fairly sure the flag reason in this case refers to the style of the drawing. The faces in particular look like they're from western comics.
Lop-sided? No one's ever heard of 35% side perspective before? Not to mention the breasts are squished against each other? Whoever flagged this should have their eyes checked.
And what's sillier, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF SPIDU'S PICTURED FLAGGED, AND IT'S A PARENT PICTURE TO ANOTHER ONE.
I only flagged one image because I felt it unnecessary to do all of them. They all have problems, and drawing attention to that fact on one piece of work should cause others to have pause when looking at the rest.
Arrei is correct about why I flagged 'western art', because there are plenty of western artists who draw in an eastern style (and vice versa). Lopsidedness is taken in to account with the given perspective. Breasts still look off even when that is taken in to consideration.
