Its not personal. I'm sick of seeing good artists overlooked, or downright attacked simply because they are a vendor or happen to create pinup art. Or mouse renders or whatever else you folks decide to attack this week. I even agree about overdone themes and overused props somewhat, but I do not attack the artists over it. I ~never~ EVER troll someone else's gallery either. STOP attacking other artists to promote yourself! And whining about it when people attack you back over it is nothing short of pathetic. I'm tired of the various anti-naked Vickie crusades too. I like naked Vickie. So what. I think the human body is beautiful, and I don't portray people as Barbies, either. I guess you'll tell even Praxiteles that he's boring... all his women look the same and damn, why are they in stages of undress in temples? Pathetic. attached link would give a hint of where bijou's opinions tend to lie. Its not got a THING to do with anything else but wanting to see good artistic craftsmanship rewarded. excerpt I like from attached link "Reason ... philosophy ... religion ... literature ... fantasy ... dreams, and all of the feelings, emotions and pathos of our every day lives ... all of it was no longer worthy of the painter's craft. Any hint by the artist at trying to portray such things was branded as banal, maudlin, photographic, illustration, or petty sentimentality." and to the rest of everyone else, Merry Christmas!
