I used to be a photographer. And this straight away made me think about some of the models I worked with and the idea of how many of them believed that to be admired and to show beauty, they needed to be nude and just be a body and not a personality. I mean no disrespect to any of the people I worked with, but I found it sad that their idea of being accepted and beautiful was to expose themselves for cheap likes from people who only look skin deep.

As I said, amazing artwork it really struck a chord with me keep it up.

That's a very interesting take and also close to what I thought about while drawing this, though from a different perspective. I thought about the objectification, pressure and standards that come from the outside specifically. "You are a product to be sold. Your body exists for my entertainment. Your value is tied to the way you look." I do believe that at least some of your models had gotten so used to such views that they had internalised the idea.
