Bottom Line: |
I did a review several years ago and decided to refresh it since Goddess Nudes is now a full blown member of the Met-Art network. A few things haven't changed but many have.
This site has about 8 years photo sets at about 5 updates a week. The models are generally Eastern European and a few have been on Met-Art, but the vast majority of models here are NOT ones that you see on other network sites. Some are quite attractive. Interestingly, I was unable to find a few models that were here before, like Mila I from Met-Art....not sure why.
One thing that I noticed immediately was that when I went to the models tab and sorted by "top rated", only a half-dozen or so out of the top 40 were girls I easily recognized from Met-Art.
The top girls here are more earthy. THEN, starting about 40 girls in, you see Emily Bloom and several others that are also on Met Art.
There is some integration, culling and renaming going on, too, because a few girls are listed more than once with different names, with different sets in each name.
The brand new site overhaul is a HUGE improvement, making the site look and feel much more like the others in the Met-Art community. It brings every feature that Met-Art has to offer including the user definable options like default image size and my favoriate, the "open images in new window" option.
All sets are dated and scored and user tags are available. File names have changed throughout the site to a format that closely matches the Met-Art format. (site, date, model, photographer.) This is great going forward. I may end up with duplicates, but I'll deal with it.
In general, many of the sets are not as polished and the models are not as well made-up as they are on other sites in the Met-Art network, especially the older sets. One significant difference that I think I notice is that there is little or no airbrushing here.
I would define many of these sets as "Naked girl in the woods" sets. There are a lot of indoor sets also. None of them are awful. No dorm rooms, laundromats or cheesy offices but no bazillion dollar LA homes either.
Recent sets, starting in about 2014 are much better quality. That probably coincides with the Met-Art merge. That also coincides with when several of the more popular models started showing up, like Emily Bloom....but have I seen these Emily Bloom sets elsewhere?....possibly.
Also starting in around 2013-2014, I noticed a practice that I truly hate. Melena A is named Mariska on this site. She has a total of two sets here that are one set broken up into 2 releases! 84 images in February of 2014 and another 38 or so in March. This is the only case like this that I see, but it is a practice that I truly despise.
It looks like the older sets have been re-sampled to accommodate the default image size ranges provided for download. Even the oldest images are available in 2400x3700, but the re-sampling has an adverse impact on the quality of those images.
Interaction with the photographer is generally very good, depending on the experience of the model, and many look like they are having a pretty good time. Kudos to the photo crew for that.
In terms of clothing, the models either start out with one or two pieces of clothing and immediately get naked, or they are naked throughout the set. Sets that are more than a few years old are pretty conservative in terms of overall view and close-ups, but the sets have changed a little since Met-Art got involved, so many of the later sets are a little more Met-Art-like in terms of what you see. Still, this is a solo-girl softcore site. If you are looking for spreading, insertions, masturbation, B/G, etc., you won't find it here.
Bottom line? Met-Art is doing a lot to improve this site, but in general it remains kind of a b-side site with a lot of sets that, for whatever reason, either didn't quite make it to the main event or, possibly, where once on other sites in the network. In any case, with 8 years worth of content, there is a lot to look at, but unlike Met-Art, there is not enough here to make me want to stay long-term or even return more then once every couple of years. If you have never been here or have not been here since Met-Art started running things, go ahead and join for the $20 price that is available. If you've been here within the last year or two, you might want to pick a different Met-Art site to visit. |
