Fetish Artworks is one of those sites where the free tour looks more impressive than the actual site. Not that the member's area is all that bad, it's just that the tour is so full of slick graphics that the member's area is bland in comparison. Also, the tour says "A Unique Site Loaded with Millions of Main-Stream Images" which is an overstatement. The number of pictures is probably closer to 50,000. Those pictures make up the totality of the site's content except for a bonus site which has flash cartoons, photos, videos, stories, games, and other normal 3rd party stuff.
The galleries are divided into these categories: 3d Comics & Toons, Artists Archive & Adult Artworks, Comics & Cartoons, Gay & Shemale Toons, and Manga & Hentai. I'll deal with them in order of most to least amount of content. By far the largest section is Comics & Cartoons, it has around 750 galleries. It's a mix of color and B&W comics and drawings that don't seem to have much rhyme or reason to them. There is no further sub-categorization; it's just a jumble of all kinds of drawings from solo girls to bondage scenes. Manga & Hentai has the second most galleries with about 480 galleries. Other than the drawings having the hentai look to them, this stuff is awfully similar to the Comics & Cartoons section. Artists Archives... is around 150 galleries of hardcore and softcore drawings. 3d Comics... has about 65 galleries of computer animation type scenes that are a mix of hardcore and softcore. Gay & Shemale Toons has 24 galleries.
I'm disappointed in the quality of the pictures; neither the size nor the sharpness impress me. I expected more especially considering the impressively designed free tour and the fact that 100% of the content is pictures. Most of the drawings were of average quality and even though the picture size varies, most are too small for my liking at less than 500x700. Sure a good number are larger than that, but I expected to find top quality stuff more often than I did.
The site is in desperate need of more categorization. The large categories they have now are fine too sweeping and broad to be all that useful. Right now members are left to browse page after page to find the types of stuff they want to see. For instance categories like Color, B&W, Artwork, Comics, Stories, Hardcore, Fetish, and Solo Girls could all be used in the biggest sections to make them more user-friendly. As it stands now, the webmaster has done very little to help out members in this respect.
From what I gather, access to the bonus site GoldBonuses.com is given with membership to any of this company's sites (they have a couple other paysites). They use it as kind of a hub for bonus content, like I said earlier it's flash comics, feeds, games, etc. Fetish Artwork's price is way higher than I think is reasonable. Yes the $5.95 3-day trial is reasonable, but the $34.95/mo rate is just too much. Even though the site has a large collection of pics, it's not anything overly exceptional that couldn't be located on another quality anime site.
