Well... porn, like anything else, can be well-drawn or badly-drawn; it can be beautiful or ugly, expressive or dull, visually coherent or impossible to figure out. Yet the one thing that it often cannot be is abstract, because with too much abstraction, it would lose any recognizable sexual form. In that sense, even porn can be easier to evaluate critically than abstract art.
That might be a good idea, at least for now, and for this reason:
I think the big difference between your work and Nailbunny's, or Katra's, or f27's, is that they tend to focus on recognizable forms with a certain degree of realism *within* a context of surrealism or strangeness, and as a result, their work can be discussed and evaluated in traditional terms: anatomy and figure, lighting and shadow, foreground and background, volume and modelling, and so on. On the other hand, your work tends to be much more stylized, which can be very attractive (especially given your undeniable feeling for colour), but which can also be hard to criticize... and without informed criticism, how can you confront you weaknesses and challenge your skills?
Please don't mistake my intentions: I'm not saying that abstract art has no artistic value; but I am saying that its value can be hard to appraise in standard terms. And I think that every developing artist who *wants* to keep on learning and improving, needs that kind of appraisal.
