April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Memberpretty sure this is from the artbook, which tom has never published online... Actually, source on FA literally says its paid content

MemberAlthough this makes me wonder why there's no exception when someone pays for a content then puts it up in their own PUBLIC gallery?

MemberBecause that would defeat the entire point of it being paid content

MemberSpeaking of it, where I could buy that art book exactly?

MemberIt's been sold out, unfortunately. And for whatever reason, Tom hasn't put a pdf version for sale even though the paper copy isn't available any more.
This picture isn't directly from the artbook, though, it's obviously digital art that hasn't been put through a scanner. Based on the description at the source, it seems like it was an award for the Kickstarter participants.

Memberfunny enough though, It will be useful for me to color correct my scans.
