This was taken down from Deviant Art a few years ago under the pretext of "minor characters in a sexual situation".  What caused it to be "a sexual situation"?

The ball gags.

Apparently ball gags have a secondary perception among some people as being visual shorthand for oral intercourse.  Which was a new one on me, I have to admit, when that little decision came down.  And here I thought they were designed TO KEEP A CAPTIVE QUIET!  But Hell, why stop there?  The ropes across their chests could be visual shorthand for fondling them!  The crossed ankles could be visual shorthand for enforced chastity!

And all I wanted to do was draw a picture where the two characters shared the name "Raven" (Raven Simone being the voice actress for MoNique).

And besides, why were they objecting?  The site is called "Deviant Art".  But I redrew the picture with tape gags and everything was fine.

  1. That is funny that a site called 'Deviant Art' would object to this based on the use of ball-gags. Nice artwork anyway.
