It is not that the artists aren't talented...but you don't see a uniformity in the kind of graphic that is voted to be in the Hot 20??? It has shifted since this morning when 19 of the 20 were of staring, nearly naked or altogether naked females in very similar costumes. Now it is 16 of the the 20. There is nothing wrong with the 16...but they are all very similar graphics. I think what some of us are saying is that we would like to see a little more variety in the voting. More artists included. I'm glad to see more variety in this evening, but often it is the same three or four artists over and over again. And they are good artists...I'm not saying they aren't. But for a gallery this large to only be represented by four people with a single theme over and over again is a little weird. And it is great that at this moment there is more variety and more artists...but I suspect in another couple of days, the Hot 20 will reassert itself to the same images and artists that were there before. And if staring nude female pinups are what represents the best Poser can produce, that's great, and I'm glad for you who think that's the limits of possibilities. I just happen to think there are more subjects available for art than that. Forgive me for having the opinion that this evening is the first time in a long time I've seen some breakouts from the norm. This is not a slam against the artists who end up in the top 20 over and over again. I wish I had 1/20th of their talent. I'd just like to see something else here and there that shows Poser can be pushed a little. And I couldn't be happier that the Hot 20 has changed for the better tonight. I'd love to be proved wrong and see that as a trend toward variety of thought. Congratulations, Poppi. Looks like you made it. :)
