These types of gruesome scenes are really enjoyable but also a challenge to portray in a non-gory way. I always want to honor the authenticity of the literary sources, but I'm also aiming to be inclusive to different age groups to enjoy these images and stories. So I want to find the line between the more mature content, in this case dismemberment, but also not making the art too gratuitous to scare off families and younger viewers. Ideally these works can be viewed by families together. I think if this type of content can be illustrated with restraint and respect, there's no reason why younger viewers can't be exposed to it.
