I kind of wonder about the overwhelming amount of fantasy & sci-fi based imagery 'round here, whether it's "naked Vicki in a Temple' or 'fantasy landscape w/ futuristic spacecraft'. Just because an artist works with a computer rather than traditional media, does that necessarily pigeonhole him/her as some lonely, Dungeons & Dragons playin', Star Trek watchin', overweight, Cheetos-munchin', pathetic loser who can only get laid by his/her own hand (not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that...)? Personally, I love the occasional creative piece with a sci-fi or fantasy theme and I realize that good art, whatever your personal definition of GOOD is, is rarely dependant upon subject matter, but... I for one would love to see some realistic cityscapes, character studies of 'real' people (gang-bangers, office drones, hookers, cops, soldiers, whatever) historical-themed art, etc. I've noticed that artists who go against the grain, content-wise, are few and far between in the realm of CG art.
