I was upset about some reactions but not that ppl did not like the cover
pic. If you want to look at it: http://www.obscuro.org/zinegirl1.png or

Sure, and at some point the discussion was confusing. I didn't want to cause
general discussion about morality with my cover and I thought the best
way to end it, was to remove the pic. 

I'm not good at writing long postings, but maybe I should have written one
more sentence about my reasons for removing the pic. Some of you might think
now, that I'm offended and don't accept critisism at all. That's not true. 
I'm very strict tomyself when it comes to my artwork and there are not many 
peaces I'm satisfied with. I show my stuff to other ppl and just wait for that they \
find something to improve. 
But this is not the point here, I'm aware that you all think that my drawing
is technicly good. I don't get paid for the stuff I'm doing here and it
doesn't really matter to me if it's gonna taken or not. I'm not the one who
decides. This cover pic was obviously a gaffe and I've taken it away. 
So I'm not offended or sad that you didn't like the motive. However, I was 
just disturbed by some comments where my pic was compared to some naughty 
men magazine and that it caused a debate on principles.  
 
I hope I could make my point clearer now.

Regards,
Aga.
